Feels like a fitting read.
The book "Blow Back" by James Patterson & Brendan Dubois. "An American President Goes Insane" is written under the title with a background image of two people (possibly agents) running up the stairs to the White House.

Same page just continued alt text due to the character limit.
Jarret supports have been know, now and then, to form mobs and burn people at the stake for being witches. Witches! In 2032! A witch, in their view, tends to be a Moslem, a Jew, a Hindu, a Buddhist, or, in some parts of the country, a Mormon, a Jehovah’s Witness, or even a Catholic. A witch may also be an atheist, a “cultist,” or a well-to-do eccentric. Well-to-do eccentrics often have no protectors or much that’s worth stealing. And “cultist” is a great catchall term for anyone who fits into no other large category, and yet doesn’t quite match Jarret’s version of Christianity. Jarret’s people have been known to beat or drive out Unitarians, for goodness sake. Jarret condemns the burnings, but does so in such mild language that his people are free to hear what they want to hear. As for the beatings. The tarring and feathering, and the destruction of “heathen houses of devil-worship,” he has a simple answer: “Join us! Our doors are open to every nationality, every race! Leave your sinful past behind, and become one of us. Help us to make America great again.” He’s had notable success with this carrot-and-stick approach. (2/2)

Please read this page of Parable of the Talents
The Nazis wore the swastika, which is a kind of cross, but I don’t think they wore it on their chests. There were crosses all over the place during the Inquisition and before that, during the Crusades So now we have another group that uses crosses all over the place during in Inquisition and before that, during the Crusades. So now we have another group that uses crosses and slaughters people. Jarret’s people could be behind it, Jarret insists on being a throwback to some earlier, “simpler” time. Now dos not suit him, Religious tolerance does not suit him. The current state of the country does not suit him. He wants to take us all back to some magical time when everyone believed in the same God, worshipped hi in the same way, and understood that their safety in the universe depending on completing the same religious rituals and stomping anyone who was different. There was never such a time in this country But these days when ore than half the people in the country can’t read at all, history is just one more vast unknown to them. (1/2)

@Canada do NOT fucking think about it. I just paid for $10 eggs. If this shit goes bad I swear I will be your entire country's Batman AND Joker.
A carton of Vital Farms organic egggs risen to $13.39 in a supermarket. A carton of a dozen jumbo white eggs risen to $10.99 at a supermarket with a sign stating, "Dear Customers, due to the excessive shortage of eggs, we regret to inform you that it can only be one ubit per family."

And what are these great leaders doing right now?

It repeats...
In historic events, the so-called great men are labels giving names to events, and like labels they have but the smallest connection with the event itself. Every act of theirs, which appears to them an act of their own will, is in an historical sense involuntary and is related to the whole course of history and predestined from eternity.

Just a lil something I felt like sharing from a rabbit hole of a study session:

projectaugustine.com/2014/07/01/t...
Deuteronomy 32:43 — The NRSV correctly reads “Praise, O heavens, his people, worship him, all you gods!” The NIV omits the polytheistic reference, and instead says, “Rejoice, you nations, with his people.” A footnote claims that this is the reading of the Dead Sea Scrolls and Septuagint, but the Dead Sea Scrolls (4QDeutq), our oldest witness to the text, actually match the NRSV’s translation.

1.6% of Netflix's profit was paid in tax. How much do you pay?
A screenshot of a calculation of 236 million divided by 15.1 billion coming out to 0.0156. Netflix paid only 1.6% in income tax.

Is life boxing with anyone else right now but instead of boxing gloves it's sending out one of these mfs every hour on the hour:
The Tempest Mephis from Wuthering Waves. A very tall, bat-like, ghoulish, humanoid creature known for its agility, speed, and relentless attacks.

My first digital painting 😭 istg it's like looking through an old photo album. I mean, I am on the media tab but still.
A photograph of a blue snake. Species unknown. A digital painting of the same snake. Their heat pit is now in the shape of a heart.

Damn. I forgot all about this Kathak student performance. This is at least 4 years ago at my former school. All my current gurujis minus one are in India now but honestly regardless of the time constraints, I'm healthier and happier.

A selfie in case you're wondering what I look like.
A kitten stands on their hind legs holding a large, crimson claymore with silver embellishments called Wolf's Graystone and has on a wig and jewlery reminiscent of Dehya from Genshin Impact, a mercenary from the desert.
