I don’t know that a screenshot of twitter is proof of anything, especially after the proliferation of AI.

But, go read about the Catholic Church in the Middle Ages. Even if I’m wrong in my opinion, you’ll learn some new things.

Yes.

The Pope has that power. Pretty much always has, but it was far more pronounced before universal literacy was a thing.

Monstrous. Just monstrous.

Hell yes.

Enjoy that pumpkin, king.

It’s just fun.

I went to my dentist appointment in a Jack Sparrow costume today. The dentist was dressed as a tooth and his staff were tooth ferries.

It’s just dumb, wonderful fun.

bundle up everywhere else.

It should be noted that if you don’t need to heat the room you’re in, you can also get an electric blanket for $30 or less, and those babies work infinitely better at keeping you warm than a space heater.

I’m glad to hear that, at least somewhere in the world, there are consequences for making online threats.

Here in the US it seems like they’re just ignored.

It feels amazing.

I wake up to a quiet, clean house every day.

Not all heroes wear capes, friends.

Same.

I will road trip or take a train instead of flying. I’d rather be on the road twelve hours than in a plane for one.

My thought process is pretty simple.

When we get to a point where we can view conflicts where the US has purposefully inserted themselves with a few years of hindsight or more, more often than not, we find out the public were deliberately misled about the reasons for US involvement.

It would be one thing if it were a once-in-a-century aberration, but it’s certainly not. Our history is replete with lies about our involvement in war, so whenever I hear these bold claims from our government, it’s from a perspective of sobriety and skepticism rather than war fever.

I’d like to see some tangible proof.

Or it could be absolutely nothing, as has occurred in US war-making, quite recently too. It’s historical precedent in US foreign policy to just lie about things occurring in order to drum up support for war. Both Bush’s did it. Remember the Nayirah testimony?

Are you familiar with US history, and the number of times its people have been lied to in order to support war? Just off the top of my head: Gulf of Tonkin, the WMD’s, the Iran coup, the USS Maine, and I definitely remember the time when we treated Saddam Hussein the same way we’re treating Zelensky now back in 1983.

So I’m asking again, has anyone provided actual evidence, publicly, that this has even occurred, or am I just supposed to take these assertions as fact?
