It’s hard to blame woke DEI when the military is losing a war because of the straits.

a wuthering heights illustration. heathcliff and catherine reach for each other, contained within a coffin shape bathed in crimson; within heathcliff's grasp are three ghostly silhouettes of hareton, cathy and linton. surrounding the coffin, are angled, bare trees and the vast landscape of the moors swathed in greens and browns. a ghostly hand extends from where catherine's was cut off at the edge of the coffin, slightly bloodied. at the very top of the landscape is wuthering heights and at the bottom right is thrushcross grange. 'wuthering heights' is in an embellished gothic font at the bottom of the illustration and 'by emily bronte' is in the same font at the very top.

I'm sorry ma'am, but your son perished on Kharg Island in a valiant effort to create Wii Bowling meme videos for the White House X account. In the face of danger, he was not cringe; he was based to his last breath. Please have this commemorative Epic Fury challenge coin. Yes that's Punisher, ma'am

Athal resurrecting Aurei after the gang just spent two books learning the dangers of what happens when you can't let the dead go is definitely up there. Why did he do it? Out of love of course (he's not like other necromancers his love is extra special that it gets to break divine law he swears)

No. No personal essays from non-diabetic people about ozempic giving you a future. You do not need a platform to talk about how good you are for doing exactly what society wants you to.

Every dinosaur "documentary" ever made is narrated exactly like this:

DAVID ATTENBOROUGH: The allosaurus closes in, three tons of razor-sharp teeth and killer muscle, but the biglongasaurus has a secret weapon...

"Thought constructs reality" is THE core pillar of Trumpism. It's the opposite of dialectical materialism. It's manifestation as political ideology. Trump rose to power through irrational self-confidence, and his government is going to war on the same basis. "We're built different" is ideological.

Screenshot of four different jobs from the NY Mag feature about what people make in NYC:
"Home Health Aide
$23,000
I've been a home health aide for ten years. My main patient last year was in Brooklyn. I spent most of my time taking care of her. I worked two days a week, and I was being paid for 13 hours of work each day - my agency, Loyal Home Care, budgets eight hours of sleep and three hours for mealtimes into our wages. But I was basically working 24 hours a day. She was active, and I was worried she would fall, so I would watch her all day and night. This is a pretty common experience for health aides. The agency can deny our overtime, but you can't deny a patient. When they say, "Oh, I need a drink of water; I need to use the bathroom," how could you possibly say "no" to them?
Bronx Day-Care Worker
$31,000
$16,600 from day-care profits
$14,400 from trainings and consulting
Last year, I lost a lot of kids. I live in the Bronx, and a bunch of families in my neighborhood lost their child-care vouchers. We're talking about people who make as much as I do; most of the moms I work with are home health aides. They can't afford full-time child care. If I have 16 kids, I can pay myself for 40 hours of work. But last year, I didn't, and obviously I'm still doing the same amount of work. I've been running the day care out of my home for more than seven years. It's a profession I entered out of necessity and have stayed in out of passion. I pay for everything - food, cleaning supplies, toys - and we have to meet the same requirements as a large company in terms of paying for liability insurance, which can feel pointless in this industry. I mean, if something happens to one of my children, I lose my license. End of story."

I mean outside of extremely specific organizations it kinda is. Every major jewish institution in the west is zionist. That's something they need an intra-community reckoning about, because this is going to start increasingly fucking them over politically as people slowly realize arabs are people.
