The photo is a 1974 photo of Leslie Feinberg, from the FBI file on hir. I've written a piece on my interpretation of Transgender Warriors and Trans Liberation, but I don't think it's quite polished enough, so I'll post it later. Instead, I'll go over hir FBI file: https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/dc-metro/rg-065/6282555/Batch0010/6282555_100-HQ-480756.PDF.
The FBI thought Feinberg could be violating the Communist Control Act, advocating the overthrow of the government, and engaging in rebellion. Needless to say, a hero to all of us. Feinberg was a member of the Workers World Party (the party still exists, but more notably PSL split from it), which apparently wasn't openly advocating for the overthrow of the U.S, they just think it's inevitable.
My favorite line? "captioned subject is believed to be a white female, who became male through some kind of sex change operation, and is possibly homosexual". Some interesting language choice, and it's an interesting snapshot into the evolution of Leslie's identity.
The FBI found Leslie's place of birth and birthdate from public school records. It's a bit of an interesting look into all of the many places the FBI can get their information, along with how information like that was so much more patchwork before the digital age.
"Interview of subject is not being recommended because of the questionable nature of his sexuality". Hmm, interesting.
It's interesting how their investigation spanned multiple cities, from Kansas City to NYC to Bufffalo to Boston. It probably involved quite a few officers, though I'm sure it wasn't the main focus for all of them.
There's some interesting mention about changes in Leslie's gender identity. Born a girl, for a time wearing a beard and mustache, then going back to "she". I'm sure we all know, Feinberg's gender didn't stop evolving there.
"Subject reportedly contributes all extra money to WWP", Leslie definitely was dedicated to the cause. Leslie doesn't attend NYC WWP meetings, but the FBI doesn't mention why.
The FBI isn't immune to typoes, Leslie did some "criminal terspass" that garnered some attention.They wasted some time checking if Leslie was in Boston, but verified where Leslie in NYC lived by pretending to be a part of the Voter Registration Commission.
There's a whole 43 pages of documents, all just from 1974-75. There's plenty of interesting tidbits in there, so maybe check it out.

Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.
my favourite trope in video games are the cocksure mooks who get oneshotted but talk maaaaaaaaaaaaaaad shit before the fight begins
Halo grunts talking shit
grunts getting one shot
was watching some Wukong gameplay and the lesser yaogui are all about that good shit and then get bonked straight into ash with one hit
In Halo 5's firefight mode, they made a boss enemy that just a big grunt mech called the Goblin. Naturally, it has a loudspeaker so the grunt piloting it can talk shit the entire time as loudly and obnoxiously as it can, but the mech has an energy shield canopy so if you can precisely hit the shield with a binary rifle, you can one shot the pilot afterwards so it's a boss that can technically die at full health
Halo 5 is the only one we didn't beat on legendary (because 4 was bad enough to drop the series there)
I'm in the minority that liked 5's multiplayer for the fun movement tech and the sandbox variants in the Warzone mode (the monetization sucked but you didn't really need it and it wasn't quite P2W) but the campaign was definitely the weakest in the series
Infinite is a lot better imo and probably the best game overall in the series since Reach despite all the obnoxious F2P cosmetic option shenanigans in the multiplayer
Multiplayer is understandable c:
I watched Ash play it, seemed a lot better and I agree it looked like it compared to reach. Shame it didn't really do as well and felt a little unfinished story wise.
Oh yeah, the story kinda sucks lol
It's funny how 343's games kinda mirrored the Star Wars sequel trilogy's thing of each entry not really having any connective tissue with its predecessor and scrapping whatever they were building before and pulling something new out of their ass that doesn't land
Grapplehook and thrusters go brrrrrr tho
Yeah that pretty much sounds a spot on read of it lol
More games could make use of grapple hook and boost, that was about the best thing 343 has brought to the series
