Discworld QOTD, from Pyramids

“Younger assassins, who are usually very poor, have very clear ideas about the morality of wealth until they become older assassins, who are usually very rich, when they begin to take the view that injustice has its good points”

Who did this?

“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy—they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess...”

100%.

My trans friends, you remain important to me. I won’t sacrifice you at the altar of convenience.

In my experience, trans people just want to be allowed to live their life as they see fit… I fully support this.

And this is before they start turning on each other, which is inevitable.

Whether it will happen before or after the midterms is the only question.

He has unchecked power… what has he done?

Ordered the death of fisherman.

Has masked goons kidnapping people on the street.

Destroyed part of the White House.

Shut down the government.

Made billions of dollars.

Douglas Adams was right, those who seek power are the least suitable to wield it.

This first 10 months have proven our guardrails were just ideas… if we don’t have a house, senate or judiciary willing to actually balance power the president can do whatever he wants.

The sad part is what he’s using his power to do…

Completely cruel and heartless.

The DNC needs to figure out how to ask for (and accept) help that isn’t just a straight cash grab…

Or show me where the money is being used to help people.

Spoiler: they asked me for money.

Argentina just needed 40 billion dollars… doesn’t sound like whatever they are doing is working either.

The Fred Trump treatment. Give him a fake job while Miller draws up missile strike plans on fishermen.

If you wonder how modern news is failing us, here you go…

Breaking the law because you know no one will stop you is now known as stale driving, apparently… they probably should have led with the illegal part, but they have a billionaire owner who gets to make up his own rules.

I’m so tired of DNC texts… take this poll! Now give us money!

Tell you what, show me some actual ROI on my money and I’ll donate… but I’m done giving money for them to burn on bullshit.

Have you read Prachetts making money? It’s about the creation of currency in the discworld. It’s a fun read.

Cobwebs and skeletons abound. Are dark forces at play?

Live updates from Chicago:

Shockingly, it’s doesn’t seem any different.

Waiting for antifa to contact me.

Moist would be fun… but honestly, making money kindof covered crypto.

Money only has value because we believe it does… crypto isn’t any different.

Headed into a war zone today…

Flying into Chicago to see Nate Bargatze.

Oh god… prachett and crypto would have been amazing…

Vimes trying to wrap his head around the idea, realizing it was just a convoluted scam and then trying to unwind the whole thing would be fun.

I’m mostly out on grimdark… though I’m about to start book 12 of Alex Verus (as a huge Dresden files fan, I’m not sure how I missed this series)… it’s been pretty grim and dark…

We need to start a fantasy book club or something…

Our Long National Nightmare by Tom Tomorrow Relive the trauma of the last five years through the cartoons of Herblock Award winner and Pulitzer nominee Tom Tomorrow.

five days and a few hours to go and at this point I'm just gonna be shameless: if you can help signal-boost this thing, I'd be grateful. I've done very well through my own channels, but haven't had much luck breaking out beyond them.

Oh man… when I worked in DC they were demolishing the building next door to me floor by floor… I spent a lot of time watching it happen.

None of this is legal! People are choosing to break the law! Other people are choosing not to hold them accountable! What the fuck!!!

Seems like covering whether or not this was legal would be the job of a journalist.

The Epstein Ballroom it is

At some point we American dollars stop having value. Trump will probably be a trillionaire at that point.

I want all the pedophiles caught. If my dads in the Epstein files? I want to know.

0 excuses.

(As a side note, my dad is not in the Epstein files. My mom would murder him)

The thing we need to understand is that Trump is not alone in never having enough.

Why wouldn’t he steal $230 million in our money? He doesn’t need it, he doesn’t deserve it… but he can take it.

So he will. The other billionaires are no different. They will always take more.

But we need to realize, the person making the shitty comments is the one ruining things… we are just correcting bad behavior.

Intolerance needs to be stopped early… though we are far past that at this point.
