The image is of a four panel comic.
In panel one, we see a crow’s face. It says, “I AM DEATH’S MESSENGER”.
In panel two, we see the same crow’s face. It continues, “YOUR TIME IS NEAR”.
In panel four, we see the crow awkwardly hopping away from a stick figure.
In panel five, we see the grim reaper with the crow perched on his hand. The grim reaper says, “So you should probably fly away dramatically instead.”

Totally, totally, kids cut off their parents because of "ordinary conflict." Hey, unrelatedly, here's an email I got from my father 27 years after the last time I saw him.
Dear Evil One -
    Just a Happy Halloween Wish! I hope you took the kids out Trick or Treating and they had a great time!
    Tomorrow is All Saints Day and Deb and I will be going to Mass at our local church. It struck me on this Halloween Night that the evil of witches and goblins and such is rooted in the very real evil of Satan. Hate and pain are the hallmarks of evil... the hallmarks of Satan. With all the evil and hate you have demonstrated with me, along with all the pain you have caused, it struck me that just as Deb and I will attend Catholic Mas tomorrow... will you be going to a Black Mass to worship Satan?
    It was just a question that came up as we pulled "candy duty" with all the Trick or Treaters. 
    Well, will you be attending a Black Mass?
 
Love,
 
Dad

Reminds me a bit of the student-run honors society at the University of Alabama I joined, where a common interview technique was a straight-faced kid asking "what's your favorite race?" and then everyone in the committee watching you Very Carefully. Amazing how many people gave the wrong answer.

Do y'all have an obvious favorite photo of your dog? Because I sure do, and it will forever be this one of him photobombing Devil's Tower lol.

Just saw someone say their AI runs their fantasy football team and I can’t stop laughing. Like, I’m sure everyone’s doing it or something but it’s very funny to me that pretending to be a team manager was so hard that you needed to pretend to pretend to be a team manager

A lot of people lamenting the Paramount/Warner merger and fearing David Ellison's control over the media are forgetting that we have three secret weapons at our disposal, currently lurking high up in the Warner water tower.

every time i get DMs from friends about discourse on the other site, i feel like we're entering two very different dialects of English
The entire Malfoid saga, complete with the revelation that multiple RW chuds on this website are actually quite gifted fan fic writers, should give you a glimmer of hope that the arts can be reclaimed from decades of Progressive mediocrity.

There is a yearning for something greater. As one of my followers wrote to me in a DM, this is a fantastic sign for the future.

I'm just gonna bookmark this for future reference when Dem pundits complain about how the party has trouble communicating its message to voters. The reason you keep running into trouble with your branding isn't campus radicals. The reason is that your opponents purchased all the media outlets.

Very saddened to say I won’t be able to headline Tim Pool’s student event in Chicago this week. I unfortunately have other plans.
Hi Katherine,
Timcast Media is partnering with the Chicago Thinker to host a student event in Chicago on October 9 at 4:00 PM.
The event will feature a one-on-one conversation with Tim Pool followed by a live student Q&A. To create a dynamic and balanced dialogue, we are specifically seeking a featured guest to represent a left-leaning perspective.
Timcast Media will fully cover and arrange all travel and accommodations.
Thank you in advance for your consideration.
Sincerely,
[REDACTED]

Hi Lisa,
Sorry, I'll be too busy slamming my hand in a car door that day to talk with Tim. Hope you understand.
Kat

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

If you look at the earliest text print ads before "advertising" and "copywriting" became a thing there's a vibe to them that's quite similar to AI flyers - enormous amounts of text to make sure all the available ad space is filled and every possible detail accounted for

from 2001. no one’s doing product testimonials like this anymore. t.co/PEswCtbEZz
Toyota's unease at being associated with the Taliban and Al Qaeda is evident. In its September statement, the company said,
'Toyota does not have a sales or distribution channel in Afghanistan, and we do not export vehicles to that country."
Somewhat less laconic was Wade Hoyt, Toyota's spokesman in New York, who put the best corporate spin on the situation this week.
"It is not our proudest product placement," he said. "But it shows that the Taliban are looking for the same qualities as any truck buyer: durability and reliability."
