Guy on lichess had a Netanyahu themed username so I checkmated them with a pawn
A chess position - the long and short of it is that black has castled and is up a lot of material, whereas white's king is exposed in the middle of the board with nothing. Black also has mate in one after black moved king to f4.


More detailed: White has a king on f4 (lmao), a queen on a4 a rook on a1, a bishop on c1, a knight on d2, and pawns on a2, b3, c4, e4, f3, and h2. Black has a king on g8, a queen on g1, rooks on a8 and f8, bishops on d7 and e7, knights on c6 and f6, pawns on a7, b7, c7, d6, f7, g7, and h7. Black plays pawn g5, mate.

Powerful letter from paleontologist Kenshu Shimada re: the Sternberg Museum of Natural History at Fort Hays State U in Kansas, US closing by years end. Along w/ the closing of the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia, US, this is an alarming trend in the US right now. #FossilFriday 🧪

Ballpoint pen, colored pencil, copic marker, and pencil. 

Movie night. Our man is at home with his pet bird watching Batman Returns (1992). It’s the scene where Catwoman visits the Penguin’s raggedy office to plan Batman’s downfall. As a way to gain the upper hand during the meeting, she circles Penguin’s birdcage and puts the bird in her mouth. Our man is concerned that this will be an upsetting scene for his bird to watch. “Close your eyes for this scene,” he says. He’s watching the film in a beanbag chair. His bird has a small perch for the screening.

Anyone who's been a woman or a child (and I've done my time as both) knows that the scariest guy isn't the biggest or strongest but the one who has the most defenses up to protect his self-image. Because the more there are, the more likely any little thing will puncture them, and then...

Thinking about this today and... actually for real, how? I know the purpose is explicitly justifying the ways of God to man, and the way you feel the fall at the end to be kind of bittersweet and beautiful certainly is a powerful version of this. But genuinely how did this get past censors?

The crusaders.

'We make LESS but things cost MORE!' says Girl. 'RETVRN!' cries a crusading Cat. 'To when we made less and things cost the same! Weather is spiraling out of control - with 2 degrees of warming baked in.' 'RETVRN!' cries Cat. 'To weather spiraling out of control with 1.5 degrees of warming baked in' says Girl. 'People aren't going to the emergency room because they're afraid of immigration-' 'RETVRN!' '-they should be NOT GOING because they CAN'T AFFORD IT! Leopards are eating my face=' 'RETVRN!' '- to when leopards were eating YOUR face!' 'RETVRN to 2015!' cries Cat. 'Sound the battle horn!' yells Girl. Cat plays a long golden horn, which blasts out the sound 'GOOD ENOUGH.' 'Now we just wait for an army to assemble,' says Cat. They wait.
