the best Cap speech will always be the "America is Trash" speech

A speech by Captain America from What If…? #44 - What If Captain America Were Revived Today?

"Listen to me -- All of you out there! You were told by this man -- your HERO -- that America is the greatest country in the world!"

"He told you that Americans were the greatest people-- that America could be refined like silver, could have the impurities hammered out of it, and shine more brightly! He went on a out how precious America was, how you needed to make sure it remained great! And he told you anything was justified to preserve that great treasure, that pearl of great price that is America!"

"Well, I say America is nothing! Without its ideals-- its commitment to the freedom of all men, America is a piece of TRASH! A nation is NOTHING! A flag is a piece of CLOTH!"

"I fought Adolf Hitler not because America was great but because it was fragile! I knew that liberty could as easily be snuffed out here as it had in Germany! As a people, we were no different from them! When I returned, I saw that you nearly did turn America into nothing! And the only reason you're not LESS than nothing--"

"--Is that its still possible for you to bring freedom back to America!"

Lorwyn is the undefeated little fella plane.

Amoeboid Changeling from original Lorwyn. They are a little blue amorphous creature with a face that defies description. Like I really am sorry, and the below description is all technically accurate, but it is like describing a symphony by listing the notes, it does not do it justice at all.

The face is somewhat snake-like with two vertical slit eyes, two nostril holes instead of a nose, and a weirdly wide human mouth. Its body is roughly shaped like a potato sack but with stubby little pseudopods extending in every direction.

They should have sent a poet. Love this little weirdo with all my heart.

Lavaleaper from Lorwyn Eclipsed. A chimerical creature with the head, front legs, and horns of an elk, floppy rabbit ears, and the back legs of a frog. The horns are on fire, does not appear to bother the Lavaleaper.

Any excuse to post this page

While that's technically true (and I agree with your broader point about Peter being a jerk until he gets his shit together as an adult), you're kind of leaving out the context that they were poor, without their breadwinner, and behind on rent.

He shoulda stopped here, and also dressed like this all of the time.

Tweet from weird blood sucking rich guy Bryan Johnson captioned "you up?". Includes a picture of Bryan Johnson in an old-timey set of pajamas with matching sleeping cap and an old-fashioned candle holder. He is wearing red sunglasses for some reason

I know you're joking but fyi it isn't a misprint or a coloring error or anything like that, it's actually just his sleeves. They did this thing where they would rumple his sleeves to give them some texture and realism, and unfortunately in this case they look like fingers.

Cover of Detective Comics Issue 381.

Batman is actively pushing Robin off of a water tower, his arms still extended from the effort. He has a dialogue bubble that says "Down you go, Robin! From now on I work ALONE!"

Robin is falling headfirst off the tower, motion lines trailing from his body, yellow cape fluttering, his expression one of horror and dismay.

Robin's green undershirt is visible, covering his shoulders where it itself isn't covered by his res vest.

Robin is in his classic costume, and the green sleeves of his undershirt are rumpled.

Hmm, interesting. Good thing that there is nothing else in the document that would contradict that in a decisive and total fashion.

Text of Article IV, Section 2, Clause 3 of the United States Constitution, the Fugitive Slave Clause, which states: "No Person held to Service or Labour in one State, under the Laws thereof, escaping into another, shall, in Consequence of any Law or Regulation therein, be discharged from such Service or Labour, but shall be delivered up on Claim of the Party to whom such Service or Labour may be due."

In other words, it enshrined in the Constitution the right of the slave owners to reclaim slaves that had fled to another state. This was more important to include than free speech btw, free speech was an amendment

The genocide of Bosnian Muslims by Chetniks in the year 1943. My source is Marko Hoare's book "The Bosnian Muslims in the Second World War: A History".

The Chetnik ‘March on Bosnia’ and Muslim alienation from the Axis
The Chetnik supreme commander Draža Mihailović, with his movement apparently at the height of its success against the Partisans, informed his Chetnik corps on 2 January 1943 of his plan to destroy the Partisan forces in the Bihać Republic in order to ‘liberate this Serb territory from Communist terror'^
Mihailoviés ‘March on Bosnia’ involved, in addition to a campaign against the Partisans, a genocidal assault on the Muslim population of Bosnia-Hercegovina and the Sanjak. Although Mihailović ordered his subordinates in this period to win the support of Muslims and Croats, this represented merely a tactical manoeuvre that did not change the fundamentally anti-Muslim character of the Chetnik movement. Thus, in March, Mihailović listed as one of his successes: “In the Sanjak we have liquidated all Muslims in the villages except those in the small towns.’ Pavle Đurišić, commander of the Lim-Sanjak Chetnik Detachment, reported to Mihailović on 13 February the results of the Chetnik actions in the Pljevlja, Foča and Čajniče districts: ‘All Muslim villages in the three mentioned districts were totally burned so that not a single home remained in one piece. All property was destroyed except cattle, corn and senna.’ Furthermore: “During the operation the total destruction of the Muslim inhabitants was carried out regardless of sex and age. In this operation ‘our total losses were 22 dead, of which 2 through accidents, and 32 wounded. Among the Muslims, around 1,200 fighters and up to 8,000 other victims: women, old people and children’ The remaining Muslim population fled, and Đurišić reported that action had been taken to prevent their return.“

Fun fact: it wasn't originally

Excerpt from the Wikipedia article for Grown Eyed Girl:

Originally titled "Brown-Skinned Girl", Morrison changed it to "Brown Eyed Girl" when he recorded it. Morrison remarked on the title change: "That was just a mistake. It was a kind of Jamaican song. Calypso. It just slipped my mind [that] I changed the title."[12] "After we'd recorded it, I looked at the tape box and didn't even notice that I'd changed the title. I looked at the box where I'd lain it down with my guitar and it said 'Brown Eyed Girl' on the tape box. It's just one of those things that happen."
