"Bury him face down." This barn burner of an obit might feel hyperbolic to people who entered the world in the wake of 9/11; it's not. Cheney was one of the architects of today's American Christian conservatism. He was directly responsible for millions of deaths. Salt the earth where he's buried.

This article has been updated with a statement from Grendel creator Matt Wagner:

Post-9/11 wars have contributed to some 4.5 million deaths, report suggests Researchers attempt to calculate the number of deaths attributable to the war on terrorism, across Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Somalia and Yemen.

Not sure how many Cheney obits will mention this murderous legacy of his.

yeah,

he was like his own dorian gray portrait… maybe there’s a young cheney out there who got all the youth

me and my cadre of dastardly m/m shippers are going to ruin healthy male platonic bonds for everyone

GOD what i wouldn't give for a hot aloof wife to run my life. the more aloof the better, frankly

unpacking my boxes from japan and flashing back to the yamato movers asking me what things are. “that’s a vcr.” “a vcr???” “to play vhs” they all held up my videos and looked at them and laughed.

yes I recommend… I lived near Zoshigaya which also has a great cemetery

INCREDIBLE LMAO

yes! you could see cherry blossoms from the tram (that’s the sakura in the line name) and there were other flowers alongside the track

i owe so many video game designers an apology

wait I was trying to add something to this. which is that I USED TO LIVE BY THAT TRAM.

in context, it’s that it’s actually for Utena to recover herself, rather than for Anthy’s friendship. but it sounds like maybe it’s that it’s more than friendship.

maybe it’s for friendship or maybe it’s…

“たぶん友情のために” is an insane episode title for episode 12 of Utena

"That one banner of Shōhei Ohtani eating an onigiri that's in front of every FamilyMart"

Beloved blonde lawyer and neuro-divergent detective, L Woods Honestly a joke that I thought a lot more people were going to get. You'd think Legally Blonde and Death Note would have captured some part of the millenial venn diagram

"What, like it's hard?"

Leo questioned a world where the wealth of the elite grows "exponentially" while many "millions of people die of hunger or survive in conditions unfit for human beings." He also criticized "ideologies that defend the absolute autonomy of the marketplace and financial speculation," with false promises "that a free-market economy will automatically solve the problem of poverty." Leo described a "new tyranny," which shuns any kind of oversight and where the economy is structured "in such a way that sacrifices are demanded of the masses in order to serve the needs of the powerful." The poor, he wrote, are only allowed "drops that trickle down." The pope openly challenged "prosperity theology" and called Christians to the practice of giving charity. "It will not solve the problem of world poverty, yet it must still be carried out, with intelligence, diligence and social responsibility," he wrote. Popular movements that challenge "the empire of money," invite people to take on the cause to combat poverty alongside the poor, instead of on their behalf, and "make history," the pope said. It our duty, Leo said, to "make their voices heard, albeit in different ways, in order to point out and denounce such structural issues, even at the cost of appearing foolish or naïve."

Pope Leo is spitting.

Dear friends,
As have become a habit, I mark each #autumnequinox by sharing a small poem by Xin Qiji. I also start my translation cycle of Chinese and Japanese poems and prose that mark the twenty-four lunisolar micro-seasons. Translation notes blogged here:

Rescuers actively looking for the man

Friend describes where man entered the woods

Friends turn around as man calls

"I just got back"

Friends & authorities in Makkari, Hokkaido were looking for an 87yo man who went missing while foraging for mushrooms. While Fuji News was interviewing his friends, the man emerged from the woods: "Hey guys, sorry."
