Can anyone explain why I can never see any pictures (in the meme thread, or elsewhere on the forum) posted by DSgrouse, and only by him? The only way to view them is to right click the 'broken' picture link and view them on his host site. Everyone else's pix are fine.
Is it me, or is it him? If it's me, what to do?

No, you're not the only one, those are images stored on Facebook servers.
The only way I can see them is to right click on them and select view image. Of course in typical FB fashion, I can't use my back button after that... sigh...
I believe it's because of the fact I'm using Firefox Quantum, with a container plugin.
Depending on your browser View in new tab will show you the image in its own tab. allowing you to still use the normal sig page.

I think I get the dragons/socmedia pic, but is linkedin Smaug because it's greedy or because it's dead? Dunno about the instagram, not sure about facebook. Tinder reference is funny.

Yeah I don't get that either. The instagram dragon may be Takhisis from the Dragonlance saga? I don't understand, really.

Yeah, Elizabeth Warren really is a dumb broad.
Did she think that she would be welcomed in Cherokee territory, flying in a Piper Comanche?

Since I may be the only person here (or in the country) who has never eaten (or even seen) Ramen, I guess it's not surprising that I didn't understand that one. However, I eat canned kernal corn all the time--I'd never contemplated that sequence with it, though.

Efficient use of resources. Kind of like using both sides of a sheet of toilet paper.

Is that Charles Napier as the guitar playing skirt and knee boots wearing hippie????
Murdock from Rambo II...
The leader of the 'Good Ole Boys' from The Blues Brothers?
Given his penchant for tough guy roles later in his career, I bet he wishes he'd slapped his agent into next week when presented with this plum of a role...

Hippies in space: A “Star Trek” episode in 1960s historical context. I like Star Trek. I always have. The movies and spinoffs like Next Generation are fine, but there’s something pure and classic about the old 1960s series which has always been my favorite. I own the complete archives of the old series on DVD. Not long ago I re-watched one of my favorite episodes, which is called “The Way to Eden.” Many Star Trek fans would be surprised to hear that this is one of my favorites, as it’s one of the least-liked and most-derided of the old series; coming late in the third season, when the production quality of the show was declining, “The Way to Eden” has a pretty limp script, phone-it-in acting and hilariously ludicrous costumes. For a series that came up with such groundbreaking stuff like “Amok Time” or “The City on the Edge of Forever,” “The Way to Eden” simply doesn’t measure up. Yet I still love it as one of my favorites, because it, more than most other Star Trek episodes, has some very interesting things to say about the time in which it was made.
“The Way to Eden” concerns a small group of space travelers who have stolen a spaceship and, as the episode opens, are being pursued by the Federation starship Enterprise. As their ship blows up (its engines were failing) Captain Kirk orders the six passengers beamed aboard. They turn out to be a bizarre group of what can only be described as space hippies, led by an alien with outrageous latex ears, Dr. Severin (Skip Homeier). Dr. Severin tells Kirk and Spock that he and his group are searching the galaxy for a planet called Eden, believed by most to be mythical, where the group–who has rejected the values of Federation society–will live in an idyllic paradise among “savages,” presumably Eden’s primitive indigines. Unfortunately Severin is a carrier of an incurable disease, and Kirk refuses to help them. The hippies won’t take no for an answer, however, and hijack the Enterprise to bring it to Eden. When they find it, stealing a shuttlecraft to land on it, they discover a beautiful but dangerous world where all the vegetation is filled with deadly acid. Even knowing this, Severin, who is insane, chomps an apple and falls dead. The others ultimately leave with the Enterprise crew.
