I called and left a polite message requesting that they consider quitting this job. I might have said "Please stop destroying our nation's heritage" or something to that effect.

Many people are outraged that Trump is demolishing part of the White House. But of course Trump can't do it without help. It's ACECO LLC of Silver Spring MD ("full-service demolition") that is tearing down the People's House. You can call them and let them know how you feel. 1/

the important things in life for an e-girlfailure
#サキュバスヒットマン

A panel from Succubus & Hitman featuring the main protagonist Gamou Shouya, wearing a black trench coat on a construction site stands over a crybaby e-girl who's been handcuffed to a wheelchair by the Yakuza. He asks "Who are you?" She replies, "Ooitachi Kururi, I'm a hacker and a cosplayer." He asks again, "What're you here for?" She replies, "I hacked into a phone scam group's server and tried to steal their cash." Shouya's succubus, Armelina, a demon woman flying next to her exclaims "Wow!"

Shouya asks, "Why were you stealing from such a dangerous target?" Kururi looks down with tears in her eyes.

And in a large detaild drawing, she replies, "I wanted to do a hundred gacha/lootbox rolls in a row in this mobile game." Armelina is amused, Shouya narrows his eyes in disgust.

billionaires should not be allowed to exist because the downside of "one of them loses their mind" is simply too dangerous for a functional society

also, having a billion dollars tends to make you lose your mind

The whole point of democracy is so one person's derangement does not become everybody's problem. It's social hygiene. The fact the richest men in the West are a mix of grotty twelve year olds and deranged apocalypse fanatics is a problem, and we should be honest about it.

♥️ PRAY FOR [ YOU ]

#deltarune #snowgrave #kriselle

First part of a Deltarune fan comic. The first three panels are of a young Kris Dreemurr kneeling on the ground with their hands clasped together. They're wearing a red horn headband as they pray, saying: oh angel up in heaven, please make me a monster too. The eye of the angel responds: sweet child... (Continued in next image)

"be careful what you wish for". The second part of the comic shows Kris and Noelle Holiday both as teens. Kris is still kneeling on the ground, but it's Noelle's hand clasped between their own now. She lies before them, her face obscured, while Kris looks on in horror. The thorn ring adorns one of Noelle's fingers and a trickle of blood falls from their joined hands spreading to cover the floor.

Chip Roy: "The truth is the marxist, radicals, and Islamists the Democratic Party promoted this weekend, they cannot handle the truth. The truth is that there is a king and that king is Jesus. And the president has been willing to say it, & Charlie Kirk was willing to say it & he got killed for it."

Discworld QOTD, from Feet of Clay

No more kings. Vimes had difficulty in articulating why this should be so, why the concept resonated in his very bones. After all, a good many of the patricians had been as bad as any king. But they were...sort of...bad on equal terms. What set Vimes's teeth on edge was the idea that kings were a different kind of human being. A higher lifeform. Somehow magical.
