V for Vacca 🇬🇱🇨🇦🇵🇷🇲🇽🇵🇦

It's technically a short story, but by changing one letter: "The Letter That Was Never Purloined"

(The Taupe Letter fits the rules slightly better, but I'm not sure if taupe would best assuage the Reverend Dimmesdale's guilt. Maybe ecru?)

AS I ALWAYS SUSPECTED!

What? Like a *poor* person???

(The name wasn't even my idea; a friend suggested it because I could then use the logo as an avatar rather than just leaving the picture blank and looking like a spambot.)

Probably not terribly fussed. But my connection with V is mostly just a matter of us sharing an otherwise uncommon letter, so I'm no expert.

Zou stemmen

(Assuming "brutalisme" is the architecture, anyway.)

Image search for "v for vendetta logo." Lots of file types and sizes to choose from.

Wouldn't that just be the continuation of OpenClaw by other means?

"Erik Dances on an American Grave, Part...?"

Unfortunately, this book is not being distributed in the US. Does anyone know where I can get a free .pdf online?

Post your favorite "Lord of the Rings" character. Wrong answers only.

(What? He's not my favorite "Lord of the Rings" character, I assure you.)

Hoping you're right! (And fearing you're wrong.)

I'm in the $75-$100k range (for whom this would have the most impact), and "my income tax bill is too high" is nowhere near the top of my list of complaints. It's not even at the top of my list of complaints about my income taxes!

(Prefilled return, pls. Or at least bring back Direct File!)

Makes me think of the old Bizarro comic with a couple of hippie-types in a cow pasture. “After decades of selective breeding, we’ve created a breed of cow that actively protests the consumption of milk and beef! Of course, we now have no idea what to do with them.”

“Reserving” shoveled-out parking spaces with chairs.

Abracadabra

In this and so many other issues they'll do something assuming it will lead to their ideal outcome, and then become baffled and whiny when others respond according to their own interests instead.

It's enough to raise the question of whether Trump and his gauleiters have a theory of mind.

I got a similar poll yesterday, except it was "here are some great things about Kinney Zalesne" (who apparently is someone who exists, who knew?) and "which of these reasons why Brooke Pinto sucks is the most convincing?" Robert White was scarcely mentioned. #DCision26

This was the first skeet I saw in this thread, and I thought it was referring to Donald Trump.

(But the similarity might help explain why Trump idolizes Putin so much.)

Pinned skeet.

Quote from Washington Times editorial board "[Radical liberals] don't realize that, when they express contempt for the man who holds the country's highest office, they reveal their contempt for the Americans who put him there."

I'm not sure how to make my contempt for you any more obvious, Washington Times.

Reality TV shows about unpleasant people are to cable television programming what crabs are to crustaceans.

A prototype Schofield "tank", which looks like the result of an armored car, a train, and a bulldozer all making sweet, sweet, love. It was capable of running on either wheels or treads, if we posit that it was capable of running at all.

"No better ideas?" This is Ernest Schofield erasure!

(Wellington GM dealer Schofield also came up with an amateur tank design. Like the Bob Semple it wasn't any good and wasn't adopted for use, but unlike the Bob Semple reviews by tank professionals weren't *entirely* negative.)

Velma?

(Currently 62 in DC with a UV index of zero. A perfect April day!)

Boomtown—excuse me, “Steak”—continues to get the best lines.

Got to the point in @nekoewen.bsky.social’s “Memes of the Prophets 2” where the Eitanian versions of Letterkenny’s Barts, Yorkie, Shultzy, Fisky, and Boomtown make their reappearance, and I’m once again wishing I’d been the one with the idea of basing an NPC adventuring party on them.

Or to be mean to the current membership.

I would have understood this pretty well if I'd known there was more than one group called "Los Lobos."

"Friends" is a beloved American sitcom that aired from 1994 to 2004, following six young adults—Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe—living in New York City. The show explores their friendships, romances, careers, and personal growth over ten seasons.
