We murdered four more people in a boat today
U.S. southern Command: On October 4, under the direction of #SOUTHCOM, Joint Task Force Western Hemisphere executed a lethal, kinetic strike on a go-fast vessel operating along established narco-trafficking routes in the Caribbean. Confirmed intelligence revealed the vessel's active involvement in narco-trafficking. The operation killed four narco-terrorists. @DeptofWar

You only do this when you have unknown variables. Maybe just teaching your son how to do it early. But in the 2010s they taught us to sum up inside parentheses verse because pemdas.

Well, it’s Sacking Day (to the tune of Tannenbaum), when we learn via Teams calls which one of the 4 of us left is to go. That will leave 3 (from 12) to teach English Language, Literature and Creative Writing and supervise 25 PhD students. I’m sure management have thought this through carefully.

I read the lord of the rings at 12 years old. From 8-13, my dad gave me a list of classics he wanted me to read. It changed a lot about how I understood literature and art generally. Imagine taking that away from a kid.

HOLY SHIT DUDES fucking with the environment is now not just a sin (which Francis also said), it is classed as a direct fuck-you to God and a central tenet of the reasoning is the need to care for "our common home," i.e. you are morally obligated to think about the other people who also live here

if we want to create better, more equitable systems, then we can't just say "oh this was what it was like for me, grow a thicker skin." yes some conflict is inevitable, but i got locked in a tiny room by my boss where he yelled at me until i cried and i do not want that to happen to anyone else.
