CNN continuing the proud US media tradition of pretending that assassinating foreign leaders is a totally normal way to carry out foreign policy.
Screenshot reads: Trump has been presented a wide range of options for Venezuela, including air strikes on military or government facilities and drug-trafficking routes, [HIGHLIGHTED:] or a more direct attempt to take out Maduro. [END HIGHLIGHT] CNN previously reported that the president was considering plans to target cocaine production facilities and drug-trafficking routes inside Venezuela.

I cast Vicious Mockery
A jar of Whole-Foods brand spice blend labeled "Organic Peruvian Style Seasoning -- Citrusy & Robust -- Heat." The label is a greenish yellow background with stylized outlined peppers in red and some inexplicable black blobs that maybe imply some kind of spice?

And then there’s this
But according to a person who socialized with Platner when he was living in Washington, D.C., more than a decade ago, Platner had specifically acknowledged that the tattoo was a Totenkopf, the "death's head" symbol adopted by an infamous Nazi SS unit that guarded concentration camps in World War II. "He said, 'Oh, this is my Totenkopf," the former acquaintance told Jewish Insider recently, speaking on the condition of anonymity to address a sensitive issue. "He said it in a cutesy little way."

There's ... a lot from this history to learn from. Be sure to read until the end.
Wikipedia screenshot reads: The power of the Gestapo was used to focus upon political opponents, ideological dissenters (clergy and religious organisations), career criminals, the Sinti and Roma population, handicapped persons, homosexuals, and, above all, the Jews. Those arrested by the Gestapo were often held without judicial process, and political prisoners throughout Germany—and from 1941, throughout the occupied territories under the Night and Fog Decree (German: Nacht und Nebel)—simply disappeared while in Gestapo custody. Contrary to popular perception, the Gestapo was actually a relatively small organization with limited surveillance capability; still it proved extremely effective due to the willingness of ordinary Germans to report on fellow citizens. During World War II, the Gestapo played a key role in the Holocaust. After the war ended, the Gestapo was declared a criminal organisation by the International Military Tribunal (IMT) at the Nuremberg trials, and several top Gestapo members were sentenced to death.

In case you are wondering how things are going in the so-called "Jewish state," here is Prime Minister Netanyahu (may his memory be erased) praising a literal Nazi, who used his massive platform to promote antisemitic ideas including those that inspired the Tree of Life synagogue shooter.
Screenshot of Benjamin Netanyahu tweet from Sep 10, 2025, 5:21 PM reading: "Charlie Kirk was murdered for speaking truth and defending freedom. A lion-hearted friend of Israel, he fought the lies and stood tall for Judeo-Christian civilization. I spoke to him only two weeks ago and invited him to Israel. Sadly, that visit will not take place. We lost an" (Show more)

Screenshot of Wikipedia page: The 1953 Iranian coup d'état, known in Iran as the 28 Mordad coup d'état (Persian: کودتای ۲۸ مرداد), was the overthrow of Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh on 19 August 1953. Led by the Iranian army and supported by the United States and the United Kingdom, the coup aimed at strengthening the autocratic rule of the shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. A key motive was to protect British oil interests in Iran after its government refused to concede to western oil demands.[5][6][7] It was instigated by the United States (under the name TP-AJAX Project[8] or Operation Ajax) and the United Kingdom (under the name Operation Boot).[9][10][11][12] This began a period of dissolution for Iranian democracy and society.

And I mean... we don't have to limit ourselves to fantasy/historical settings, either.

Peaks of the Andes mountains are visible in the background, beneath the helicopter.

Behold! I hereby repost, slightly revised, the only Twitter thread of mine worth saving (from June 2019):

How #DnD and fantasy fiction consistently underrate the sling.

Slings are awesome and kick longbow butt. And I miss having this thread to refer people to. #TTRPG 🧵
Hand-woven, alpaca-hair sling with thumb loop at one end, lying on a black surface with cords twisted into spirals. It's an exquisite work of weaving. The cords are alternating thin bands of black and white. The cradle is white and light brown in a yin-yang type pattern.

I was one of the consultants on the Heritages generally, and particularly on these cuties.
The top of the "Goblin" page from the Daggerheart rulebook, showing some black-and-white line drawings of cute goblins. Text reads: "Goblins are small humanoids easily recognizable by their large eyes and massive membranous ears. With keen hearing and sharp eyesight, they perceive details both at great distance and in darkness, allowing them to move through less-optimal environments with ease. Their skin and eye colors are incredibly varied, with one one hue, either vibrant or subdued, more dominant than another. A typical goblin stands between 3 feet and 4 feet tall, and each of their ears is about the size of their head. Goblins are known to use ear positions to very specific effect when communicating nonverbally. A goblin's lifespan is roughly 100 years, and many maintain their keen hearing and sight well into advanced age." More cute pictures of goblins from the Daggerheart rulebook, some in full color and some more black-and-white line drawings. Their expressions range from dour to stoic to smug/mischievous.

Happy #Daggerheart release day! Whose name is that there, under Consultants?

This is my first #TTRPG credit to see print, so it’s a double celebration for me. 😁
Picture of me, a man with brown skin and short black hair, holding up a copy of the Daggerheart Rulebook, with a red block wall in the background. I am wearing a black shirt that has a red image on it that is blocked by the book.

Got my copy of #Daggerheart!

(But I can’t tell you why or talk about what’s inside until release day, May 20!)

All cleaned up and pretty
The same carrots and colander as before, but now the carrots are washed and you can see their shades of purple and pink and orange

Garden is starting to give us carrots!

It’s the first time I’ve been able to convince our desert soil to produce roots on these 😁🥕🧿
A metal colander with a half dozen just harvested, still dirty purple carrots in it, no leaves. Colander is sitting on a gray and red paver in a garden bed.

Only just realizing now that the OP's example was Coca-Cola, so coming back to add: Yes, hands off our sacred coca leaf and suffer suffer suffer I hope Coca-Cola crashes and burns and never recovers.

Sculpture is fenced in and a typical-looking Andean town and the Andes mountains are in the background.

Screenshot, black text on white reads: It was particularly easy for DER SPIEGEL reporters to discover Hegseth’s mobile number and email address. They turned to a commercial provider of contact information that is primarily used by companies for sales, marketing and recruitment. DER SPIEGEL sent the provider a link to Hegseth’s LinkedIn profile and received a Gmail address and a mobile phone number in return, in addition to other information. A search of leaked user data revealed that the email address and, in some cases, even the password associated with it, could be found in over 20 publicly accessible leaks. Using publicly available information, it was possible to verify that the email address was used just a few days ago.

Besides this bit from AD&D 2e's A Mighty Fortress, lol
Photo of a page from A Mighty Fortress (AD&D 2nd edition). A green bar at the top of the page with an icon showing an Elizabethan-era helmet with a sword behind it. Text reads: "Anabaptism and Judaism: Conspicuous by their absence from the lists below are the various anabaptist sects and Judaism. Any character can elect to be anabaptist or Jewish. Historically, however, peoples of these faiths were persecuted viciously throughout Europe. Where they weren't killed outright or executed as heretics, they were driven away or forced into hiding. We believe that bigotry and intolerance are wrong in gaming just as they are wrong in real life. While we cannot change the injustices of history, DMs can shape their own campaigns. So in the same spirit that we recommend relaxing the restrictions placed on Elizabethan women, we also urge some ahistorical tolerance for the individual religious choices of the characters."

Decompressing by doing some comps research on an idea for like three RPG projects from now
Photo of the “If I Were a Lich, Man” boxed set and the Ars Mágica supplement “Kabbalah: Mythic Judaism” on a blue flowered tablecloth. Former is a black, gray and red box with images of undead faces in the corner and in the center, a knight from behind looking at piles of bones. Latter shows a bald, bearded man leaning over an open scroll.
