Democrats have announced that they're going to make a statement at 3:45pm EST today or something. Our government is actively in the middle of a coup, and they're "going to make a statement."

I'm sure it'll be some finger wagging, and that's about it.

I mean, have you seen how they dressed?

Pirates were also largely LGBT/PoC - the maligned of society. The practice of a captain marrying people at sea supposedly started with pirates marrying gay couples because they couldn't get married onshore.

Pirates are like the definition of Be Gay, Do Crime.

They're now also blaming Among Us for training him into an assassin, apparently.

They would, but UHC deemed it unnecessary care and denied their claim.

Time is a circle.

Here's the original image in not burnt out low res meme quality:

And the post with a comic somebody made of it

L0stvegas is a disabled artist who paints some really cool surreal art and often has their work reposted without credit, so check 'em out!

They also have a fascinating story of the local door to door meat salesman who regularly goes around their neighborhood.

Similar energy

While I think this was a stupid way to go about risking jail time for a noble cause, I would like to remind everybody here of what everybody in the 60s thought about MLK and his peaceful protests:

There never has nor will there ever be such a thing as "the right way to protest." The right way to protest means out of sight where it can be conveniently ignored.

Not blatantly, but there are signs of it even in the first book; and as the books go on, you can see almost in real time her political views shift from criticizing the system to defending it as she started becoming wealthy and benefiting from the system.

I highly recommend watching Shaun's 2 hour video on the subject, as it goes into great detail on the subject and makes for perfect podcast material.

Some highlights include:

• Obesity as a moral failing - want to make a character seem bad? Just make them fat!
• Masculine features as a negative trait for women (sound familiar?) - want to make a teenage girl bad (and ugly) but don't want to make her fat? Just talk over and over about her "mannish hands" and sharp jawline.
• Token minority characters that are often stereotypes or border on racism - the black kid is named Shacklebolt, the Asian girl is named two single syllable last names (might as well have called her Ching Chong), the 12 year old Irish kid is obsessed with turning drinks into whiskey and blowing stuff up, etc.
• The defense of the slavery of house elves using the exact same arguments that slave owners used before the Civil War in the US mentioned by somebody else, with a bonus criticism of Hermione as a girl with blue hair and pronouns for questioning and trying to change the system.
• There are no good or bad actions, only good or bad people. It's okay for the right people to use the torture spell, because they're the "good guys."
• And a resolution that basically resolves nothing. Harry doesn't kill Voldemort, he kills himself due to a magic technicality, and Harry goes on to become a magic cop to ensure the flawed system that the early books criticized doesn't change.

Don't forget that it's also effectively a pay cut due to the added expenses and time lost in commuting. They should ask if the company is going to at least pay for the maintenance of the car if they aren't going to pay for the time spent commuting.

Management forgets that strikes and unions were the concession negotiated in lieu of beating factory owners to death in the street.
