Uhhh... bad news.
Or good news, since he'll be easy to find!

It's SOOOOO good. Fucking ace writing.
When you're done with it, add Luceno's "Tarkin" to the pile, too. Amazing book, and a great read.
I knew fundies would be our death, and a disaster AT BEST if they got power.
I knew our alliance with Israel was unwise, unbalanced, and often completely immoral, and that right-wing Christians would use the issue of Israel to LITERALLY KILL EVERYONE ON EARTH.
Why didn't anyone LISTEN TO ME???
4/4
He asks himself a question I've asked myself many times since learning about right-wing fundamentalism at age eight.
Leaning against a shattered column as his suit tries to keep up with his breathing and heartrate, he asks, "Why didn't they listen to me? Why didn't ANY of them LISTEN to me?"
3/4
Spoiler Alert: it doesn't work.
He becomes meditative, but gets angry (duh) over how it all went down, how needless it was, how he'd tried to highlight and warn fellow Jedi and the Council members about corruption and self-absorption within the Republic and Jedi Order, and how he was ignored.
2/4
There's a scene in James Luceno's "Dark Lord: TRoDV" that really resonates with me.
Vader is sent by Sidious to the ruins of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, in Vader's view to obtain some needed data, but in actuality it was to make him confront and help him come to terms with his past.
1/4
Wow.
Yeah...we've definitely lost what standing we used to have.
We are now THE shithole.
Embarrassing and sad.
Gypsy totally steals that scene at the end.
"I get it, Mike."
I just remembered a specialty pizza pie I had once ("SPECIALTY pizza!") that was so fucking good the THIRTY-FOUR YEARS that's passed since I last had one was not enough to erase my intense and immediate craving for one.
*sigh*
Oh, A'mour-za... how I miss you.
Look, I'm TELLIN' y'all... that man is the result of some time-traveler using some kind of weird, future tech to create an offspring of Barack Obama and Stephen Miller and install him in the past.
Makes just as much sense as anything THIS spineless, treason-weasel does or says, really.
Goy Boy married to a Nice Jewish Girl here, so I can tell ya: YMWV when it comes to how Reform Jews receive the Torah version.
Some are chill with interpretation/metaphor, others are just as horrified and suspicious as I am. IMO, there is no positive interpretation of that encounter at all, ever.
IDK how to check who has me muted, blocked, added to a list, etc., etc., because IDGAF and have no interest in finding out.
Honestly, I don't understand why anybody DOES. Seems kinda like punching your own face for and on behalf of someone else.

You wanna talk about something that'll fuck you up BIGTIME?
Seeing THAT shit as a child, and suddenly realizing that even though you're a child, you're not SAFE with "God," nor anyone that follows or believes in him, INCLUDING YOUR PARENTS.
I can pin the exact moment.
I was five, and at the time attending Catholic church on Sundays, going to Catholic school, had 1st Communion, the whole deal.
Then one day I opened up my mother's leather-bound, BEAUTIFULLY illustrated Bible, and saw THIS:
Red flowers growing
To mark all our tears
The pain and the anguish
We're planting the seeds

We have to fix *waves arms around* all this.
And we have to fix it NOW.
Also yeah, that first one is SHIT.
Someone said, "Let's make it like the SNES controller, but worse!" and someone wisely smacked them on the head with a newspaper or something.
I think you misspelled that. Pretty sure it's "beWWWWwwwwWWWwwwwwbz."
I mean... that's how @epicvoiceguy.bsky.social pronounces it, anyway. π

Huh.
I think I answered my own question, AND came up with a pin for the Kinkrest board in my mind! WIN!
#SillyGooseSunday
Is it "Hell-bent for leather," or "Hell, bent for leather?"
I think the first one, because it's really about cows and getting cows and shooting guns at people to get cows, whereas the latter means bending Hell INTO leather, which sounds pretty rad in a BDSM way, but doesn't make literal sense.
Went to share this video, saw Rex already did, went to share THAT and saw I already did in 2025. π€ͺ
So according to the WSJ a US Senator conspired with another country to manipulate the US into starting a war, am I getting this right

2) Thanks for doing the leg work to confirm. β€οΈ
Great. Looks like we need to do a more thorough job this time, then.
My Fallout 76 miner / NCR uniform look.
We're just talking #Fallout76 C.A.M.P. vibes, and dropping some rando pics:

I have no idea if this Ogua is a friend to all children, but he definitely fucking hated ME.

I believe the kids call this "aura farming for rizz."
An old timey photograph of a military funeral that is definitely not a garden gnome funeral in the middle of Burning Springs that someone slapped a sepia filter on for effect.
MOAAAR!
