Document the evil of destroying beauty and memory before/while bragging about building poorly at great expense in place.

Part of proper asbestos assessment is getting the demolition permits and properly going through the review processes. They skipped all that. They’re likely polluting the air here in DC with asbestos. So I guess we can add giving the public mesothelioma to his long list of murderous crimes.

What did we do when foreign powers burned the previous building down? How did we make them pay?

Document away! Only evil destroys and then congratulates upon 'rebuilding' something less in place.

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

The cover of They Are Still Here (Mae Nhw Yma O Hyd).

The image is of the sorceror, Gwydion, surrounded by wild animals (wolf, boar, deer) in a Celtic knotwork frame. Gwydion's hat is crowned with antlers. He carries an axe in his right hand and an oak twig in his left.

Can confirm, and here is a photo of me that day (cropped to remove other people) shortly before my sister ran me over. I was ok -- had a sore arm for a bit!

A black and white photo of me as a kid, bundled up, standing on the ice near two snowmobiles.

A cute little interaction that just happened. I would like to consider myself the traveling Beyblade whisperer

Just did a side quest

Walked into a GameStop to check the Beyblade stock and there's this mom and her kid struggling to put a beyblade together and the clerk is struggling to figure it out too.

The clerk knows I like Beyblade so he calls me over to try and figure it out. It's a CX Beyblade (Wizard Arc) so the lock chip, main blade, and assist blade aren't holding together for some reason. I'm confused too, because every time I put it together, the lock chip is loose and it can't even attach to a launcher properly

Eventually I do figure it out, it was just the assist blade was upside down lol. The mom records a video of me putting it together properly just in case they have issues again, and after they leave the clerk says "secretly I was praying you would come in"

HALLOWEEN CORMORANTS?

They are hated and hunted. They are reviled.
Why?
Because they are other-worldly, ancient, turn their backs on humanity and stare meditatively out to sea.

A glimpse of another world, another mind...

Down in the forest
All the leaves and branches
appear the same —

Roots drink the silence,
of leaves that hum below,

Only our hearts will ever know —
beneath the moss and stone,
the ancient rhythm,
of us ours alone.
