I thought you were gonna say receiving one as tribute from a winner

Sorry to hear. We have power; furnace is out tho. Solidarity

This is literally not what they are literally doing. They are literally exactly engaged in an ethnic cleansing and fascist terror campaign. It has nothing to do with anything recognizable as law enforcement.

Funny. I had a very fantastical picture of you strolling near Spice Island, with a window unit going plop

Nope—it’s all phony BS

Yeah I saw this same time you did. I love Ganz (and Riley ha ha)

Is this intended ironically?

“One way to reduce overall suffering and save resources is to allow sick people to die sooner, rather than pursue costly medical research in the hopes of eventually deploying medicine and therapies to ease their suffering” —somebody somewhere today
