Epstein was an AnPrim?
Meme titled “Who Would Win?” Left panel: a smiling circle, half green and half black. Text reads “anprim who had to get rid of their glasses as they were a product of civilization” Right panel: text reads “some kind of orange shape” above a blurry picture of an approaching bengal tiger

Have a picture of me and our new puppy
A man with a grey beard, a red and black knit hat, and a black coat is in front of some sparse woods. He is seated but you can’t tell that from the photo. On his shoulder sits a puppy with mottled grey fur, she is looking intently at the camera.

Original post as Calvin’s Dad Explains meme I feel like we are letting rumor and speculation run amok and are getting too far ahead of known facts. I'll be the sober voice of reason: it is not at all clear that JD Vance and Erika Kirk are having an affair. There are alternative explanations. It could be a throuple.

Stormtroopers are actually pretty decent shots, they were missing on purpose to let the heroes escape so they could be tracked back to the rebel base

Back in 2012 I made this afghan and then gave it away, no idea if it‘s still around somewhere or got lost in a move

This is the only full picture I have, iPad photo quality wasn't all that great back then
🕷️🧶
A grey and light blue knitted afghan in 5 panels Outer panels are light blue, approximately 9” wide, and involve some kind of cable I’ve forgotten and can’t see clearly in the pic Inner panels are grey, approximately 9” wide, and consist of 3 simple rope cables side-by-side Center panel is light blue, approximately 24” wide, and is knit mostly in stockinette except for two cable spiders each approximately 12” square and made with cable techniques

I’ve occasionally thought about getting this symbol from “Joe Versus the Volcano” but held off in part because, well, it’s a lightning bolt and that might be confused for Nazi symbology
Lightning bolt logo/symbol from the film “Joe Versus the Volcano” A motif that is repeated several times throughout the film, in the shape of pathways, in a logo, and eventually an actual lightning bolt
