If that is a thing that troubles you so much you had to write in to one of the biggest papers in the world about it, you live an incredibly blessed life and should be grateful for it every minute of every day.

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

Trump announces another strike "just off the Coast of Venezuela" that killed 6 people

Under my Standing Authorities as Commander-in-Chief, this morning, the Secretary of War, ordered a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel affiliated with a Designated Terrorist Organization (DTO) conducting narcotrafficking in the USSOUTHCOM area of responsibility — just off the Coast of Venezuela. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was trafficking narcotics, was associated with illicit narcoterrorist networks, and was transiting along a known DTO route. The strike was conducted in International Waters, and six male narcoterrorists aboard the vessel were killed in the strike. No U.S. Forces were harmed. Thank you for your attention to this matter!!!!!!

Trump has no legal authority, "standing" or otherwise, to order the killing of people in international waters for unsubstantiated accusations of non-capital crimes.

Calling them "narcoterrorists" does not make it right or legal to order their deaths without any due process.

Somehow missed that PWEI's new album came out Friday. Oh well. Listening now.

FifthDrɐəm @fifthdreamtoday.com · 15h

The physical copy arrived.

Interestingly, the book itself is the colors of Jean Grey's 90's costume. Coincidence? (No.)

"Marvel: What If...Kitty Pryde Stole the Phoenix Force? (An X-Men and America Chavez Story)"

The book itself with the dust cover removed, colored mustard yellow with a blue spine, the same colors as Jean Grey's costume from the 90s.

Ahh! The narrator, does Betsy's accent in this new novel. So happy.

That Betsy was never a ninja. Whoever was in that body was so unlike Betsy, it could not have been her in there.

I mean, would a proper lady embarrassed about wearing this dress walk around with her butt hanging out in public all the time? I think not.

The narrator of the book i'm listening to keeps pronouncing "feral" as FEEruhl and it's irritating because it's been in the book like 45 times.

Novels are just comics consisting of one picture and an overwritten caption.

Oh, btw, i'm that dork who bought three copies of this: the audio book, the digital book (so i can look up things i want to read again or in case i don't understand something in the audio, or to paste cool bits to the BFF), and the physical book to put in the Betsy shrin- er, on the Betsy shelf. <.<

FifthDrɐəm @fifthdreamtoday.com · 1d

There could easily be a Kate meets Kitty moment really early. That will be fun.

FifthDrɐəm @fifthdreamtoday.com · 1d

AHAHAHAHAHA

Yeah, everyone do this always, please. To all of them.

FifthDrɐəm @fifthdreamtoday.com · 1d

I never read wapo as a physical paper so i don't know if this kind of content is in it, but it's not my imagination that they only started posting this kind of non-news, non-politics stuff on social media AFTER the disaster was president again, right?

FifthDrɐəm @fifthdreamtoday.com · 1d

I know it's a What If...? novel, but the timeline is screwy on the first couple of pages. It's Krakoa era, but in 1990?

It's all about time travel back to when Kitty joined the X-Men (not a spoiler, it's in the description). Maybe everyone being alive in 1975 and like 2022 was too big a stretch.

FifthDrɐəm @fifthdreamtoday.com · 1d

It's out.

UK #NewWave band #King’s 1985 debut single “Love & Pride” stalled at #84 but after a TV appearance 9 months later, it was re-released & held at #2 for 3 weeks staying in the UK Top40 for 10- it found little success in the USA, but was a Starck fave

I'm used to watching things where they DON'T explain, and it's fine. You watch for the experience, the ride. But i'm so used to it, when people ask what's going on i just say "They'll explain it eventually... or they won't."

FifthDrɐəm @fifthdreamtoday.com · 1d

No Betsy/Captain Britain in current comics, but they're doing this.

Why not a retro PRE-ninja Psylocke comic?

Well, at least there's that What If...? novel with CB Betsy on the cover coming out tomorrow.
