The first Red Angel was Burnham’s mom. The second Red Angel was Burnham, because of-fucking-course it was.

Narnia and Dune are so up-front about their messages that after a couple books it stops being subtext and just becomes text, so they’re technically correct there.

Cincinnatus was actually cool. Rome’s neighbors violated a peace treaty and tried to invade them. They called up Cincinnatus, a retired general, and gave him full dictatorial power. He resolved the situation in two weeks, abdicated all of his powers on day fifteen, and went back to his farm. Then he did it a second time when someone tried to end the republic and make themself a king.

Someone like Crassus would be a more appropriate Roman to reference.

Now I want to play Plague Inc…

I don’t know why I remember this, but there was also a Spongebob episode that showed a potted peanut plant with peanuts growing on it like peas do.

Putin’s made it clear that Trump doesn’t call the shots in their relationship. Trump’s ego can’t handle that, so now Putin is his enemy. We’ve been seeing Trump slowly figure this out over the course of the year, starting from him saying he could end the war in, what did he say, a week? He clearly wasn’t let in on the invasion plan, either because he can’t keep his mouth shut or because Putin thought the war would be over before the election.

Of course, with how senile he’s becoming and his probable recent stroke, it’s unclear if this will stick or he’ll forget about it in a day or two.

When life gives you lemons, make more of them?

That pot looked flimsy to start with. Was the side just sheet metal?

Is there a different Australia or were you just making it clear it wasn’t a typo for Austria?

I’d say the comment implies that Kirk isn’t as bad as Trump and Vance.

Honestly? No.

You could also argue it should be given to Greece, Turkey, or Russia, since all three are technically successor states to the Roman Empire.

Right, but that can only apply to crimes comitted before the 2007 plea deal. If she was charged for literally anything comitted in the following decade, then that is still valid.

Pretty sure the plea deal wouldn’t have covered future crimes, either. Not like of you plea out of a speeding ticket you just get to speed for the rest of your life without legal consequences.

Yeah, if he’s moving to remove Trump from office this is earlier than I anticipated.

This is just for fraud. The corpse abuse sentencing is in August.

It’s the maximum possible sentence. The court can’t do more. Also, this is just the sentence for COVID aid fraud. Sentencing for the corpse abuse charges is scheduled for August.

Any man who must say, “I am the king” is no true king.

They’re probably not ricocheting the rounds off the ground like they’re supposed to. Again.
