maybe he wants to feel like a Space Marine, did you consider that?

$Columbo holds up one hand without looking. POV: columbo effortlessly and single-handedly stops your most powerful technique like it's nothing Columbo: "Oh and uh, just one more thing." Columbo, eyes glowing: "I haven't even used a fraction of my power, sir."$

Here is Coco, one of the cats I am watching this week, being a dignified old lady and napping in various sunbeams.

For me it’s RoboRiders, a very short-lived pre-Bionicle Lego line about robot motorcycles who fought by flinging their front wheels at each other.

A couple years ago our health department changed logos from a very nice icon that depicted a local landmark to an abstract symbol that is *extremely* a butthole.

“Not to worry, I have a Warrant of Trade”

Ron Swanson’s “permit” which is just a sheet of paper saying “I can do what I want”

Recently assembled these lads, and painting away at a blob of termagants.

An unpainted tyranid Biovore (a spider/crab alien with a giant organic cannon on its back)

A trio of unpainted Tyrant Guard (bulky, heavily-carapaced aliens with crab claws)

Look New York got a mayor that isn’t an absolute mess, there apparently is cosmic balance.

The onion article “Well well well, not so easy to find a mayor that doesn’t suck shit, huh” but shoddily edited to be about the CA governor race

“By God I’ll fight until hell freezes over, and then I’ll break the ice and fight on”

from chandra manning's wonderful book
"what this cruel war was over"
Nothing made slavery's toxicity more obvious to Union troops than its effect on the fundamental unit of society, the family. For one thing, slave sales separated families. In the Upper South, where many Union soldiers were stationed in 1861, about one in three first marriages was broken by sale, and about half of all slave children were separated from at least one parent. With their own eyes, soldiers saw slavery snap bonds between parents and children. The men of the Seventh Wisconsin were awakened by gunshots one November night. The following day, soldiers "learned, and saw the cause of the alarm in the form of two negro women—a mother and a daughter" The pair had fled to Union lines to avoid the proposed sale of the "goodlooking" daughter into the so-called fancy trade, which soldiers viewed as a form of concubinage. Outraged by the plight and moved by the vulnerability of the mother and daughter,
"every private in the ranks" cursed "that system which tramples on the honor of man, and makes merchandise of the virtue of women," according to one member of the regiment. When an Iowan encountered a young child about to be sold by her own father, who was also her master, he vowed, "By G-d I'll fight till hell freezes over and then I'll cut the ice and fight on.”

Hades 2 does not fix this specific problem but does have a fat Hephaestus who is very much a daddy. And uses a wheelchair and prosthetic leg! And Circe as well! (Hestia is more of a grandmotherly look)
