[PANEL 7: THE SOLDIERS ENTER THE BROADCAST-ROOM, WHERE THEY ARE GREETED BY THE CLOAKED FIGURE OF V]
"I WILL, HOWEVER, BE GENEROUS.
"YOU WILL BE GRANTED TWO YEARS TO SHOW ME SOME IMPROVEMENT IN YOUR WORK. IF AT THE END OF THAT TIME YOU ARE STILL UNWILLING TO MAKE A GO OF IT...](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:tgo4sgmvasbn4aomyp3klw3d/bafkreib4smxodtiu3ale575nkv56a3z47m76sgg46loxv2d5ppth44skr4@jpeg)

The other thing I think is that I’ve noticed a lot of online relationships have a “FUCK YOU DUMBASS, EAT SHIT, I’ll see you tomorrow, ok man?” dynamic and if you are willing to let bygones be bygones after a conversation like 90% of other people will too.

The subtweet is a load bearing pillar of keeping online relationships amiable. Going “some dogshit morons believe X” rather than directly quoting “I can’t believe think this dogshit moron thinks this” lets everyone save face and keeps things amiable. I’m a firm believer in cowardice in this regard

Dems should have seen, time and time again, how Trump corrupted everything he touched, and understood that there are no moderates in an insurrectionist party
“Dems should have foreseen how Rubio would behave in January 2025 and abandoned all efforts to spike Hegseth and RFK based on those premonitions” is an argument you can make but you actually need to make it
Democrats voted unanimously to confirm Marco Rubio.

An entire community of thousands, here legally, having been demonized with deranged lies about eating pets, is about to be arbitrarily DECLARED illegal so they can be forcibly ethnically cleansed. I don’t want to hear one more fucking word about comparisons to Nazi Germany being overwrought.

I wanted to start a drawing meme for 8 of your favorite singers.
It was hard to narrow down! I'd like to do a separate sheet for female singers too.

They’re not death squads, they’re just the squads that occasionally kill people and torture to the point of natural death before handing prisoners off to the actual death squads in another country. I’m extremely smart and live in the beltway, btw.

Being a bereaved family with Israeli citizenship does not protect you from Israeli government scorn if you are not Jewish. In other words, an apartheid policy.

Ok so I have just been reminded of the best museum (collection?) I've ever been to. It's in western Canada. In the 50s this artist decided to make cement sculptures of animals and cartoons and she bought some land where she could put them on display.
It's all very charming, except...

A reminder that ICE hasn’t slowed down in Minneapolis at all.
Outside of Minnesota, it might feel like everything has changed since Alex Pretti’s murder. But ICE hasn’t actually lost any power and they’re continuing to terrorize our communities.

Michael Craig, who is 97 today, was old when he appeared in Doctor Who, was even older when recording the commentary two decades later, and is still alive. This is a nearly 60 year old man! He's the third oldest living Whoniverse actor.
