Okay, So, Friends. Occasionally I See An American Post On Here About “guillotine The Rich,” And It

Okay, so, friends. Occasionally I see an American post on here about “guillotine the rich,” and it turns out that “rich” means “anyone making over $50k.”

We need to clear this shit up REAL fast, because otherwise it’s gonna wind up like the French Revolution, where more middle class and poor people were killed for being “class traitors” than actual nobles. (Did you know that France has more nobles today than during the French Revolution? While there were a few showy executions, many nobles did just fine or experienced minor setbacks.)

If someone makes $60,000 a year, they are making about twice as much as a full time worker making minimum wage in California, Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, DC, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, or Washington State.

Brian Thompson, the CEO of United HealthCare who was just assassinated in New York City, earned $10 million a year, which means he earned 333 times minimum wage in those states. Basically, he cleared an annual minimum wage salary in just over a day. And that “rich” person making $60k/year that you want to guillotine? He made their salary in a bit over two days of a year.

So he was rich, right?

Well. Tesla is trying to give Elon Musk a pay package of $101 billion. That is 10,100 times what Brian Thompson earned and 3,366,667 times more than a minimum wage worker. (Tesla hasn’t been successful yet because of a complicated lawsuit from a shareholder, but they’ll get there.) If you are a minimum wage worker, Elon Musk makes more every SECOND than you do in a year. And that “rich” person who you want to guillotine? He makes their salary in about 1.6 seconds. Even when he’s sleeping.

Now, remember. The Muskrat also is the head of SpaceX, the Boring Company, X.ai, and X.com, so this is just ONE pay package for him.

What I’m saying is — you have much more in common when it comes to economic grievances with someone earning $60,000 (or even $200,000) than the ultra wealthy that have real power. They are not the people you should expend your energy on.

@idraw-sometimes make sure you read the second paragraph. I'm actually excited.

“Half Delicious Murder Ballad, Half Beguiling Love Story, Amal El-Mohtar Transports Us To Faerieland

“Half delicious murder ballad, half beguiling love story, Amal El-Mohtar transports us to Faerieland so seamlessly it seems as though she just stepped out of it.” —Holly Black

This advertisement is for The River Has Roots, the solo debut of Amal El-Mohtar, co-author of This Is How You Lose the Time War. 

WHAT’S IT ABOUT

Sisters Esther and Ysabel Hawthorn tend and harvest the enchanted willows that grow on their land at the border of Faerie and the mundane world. The sisters honor an ancient compact to sing to the willows as thanks for their magic, and they cherish each other as much as they cherish their trees.

But when Esther rejects a suitor in favor of a lover from Faerie, she places their sisterly bond and their very lives in peril. Follow the river Liss to the small town of Thistleford, on the edge of Faerie, and meet two sisters who cannot be separated, even in death.

UHC Website Has An Article Entitled "Response To Misinformation" In Which It Explicitly Labels Luigi

UHC website has an article entitled "Response to Misinformation" in which it explicitly labels Luigi as a killer despite a trial not taking place. Which in itself is defamation and very telling of their concerns with pushing a narrative more than a legal and ethical perspective.

That is terrifying, someone should write a story about it

I had a dream that I was playing Minecraft. It seemed to be perpetually night, rain fell through blocks, and I kept running out of torches. I thought I saw something out of the corner of my eye, and checked my settings. The difficulty was set to “Peaceful, I hope.” I couldn’t change it.

AETERNUS NUNCA:

Aeternus Nunca is an enigma to say the least. Its name legitimately translates to “Eternal Never” for Moons sake. It's found in the most mind boggling realm known to exist filled with the loathsome Éag {Pg.677765892} and the horrifying Saol {Pg.-3877288884} species. The Ξεχασμένος realm is not one to mess with. But Aeternus Nunca is one of the kinder species in the realm. It had a solid black head and body. It has no eyes, no mouth, no nose, no ears. It doesn't even have a nervous system or something similar to it like other species from the multiverse. It can sense and detect the things around it seemingly instantly {It should be added that there isn't a hint as to how without any sensory skills or abilities}.

Its head floats about a meter over its body. {In history it has been thought to be two different organisms, if that's what one would call these.} It has a body shaped like a coma that can grow anywhere from 3 to 9 meters {9.7-29.5 feet} tall. Easily dwarfing the Éag, which only grows to be 31 centimeters {Or 1 foot} in height. It's obviously less hostile than the Éag, seemingly never consuming prey, or anything at all truly.

It is a two dimensional creature that floats on a humongous pair of silver wings. The wings are often outlined in red with a pair of antennas to go with it that are the same red. The wings can be anywhere from 9 to 20 meters {29.5-65.6 feet} in height, and 9.5 to 20.5 meters {31.2-67.3 feet} in length. Their wings have the same texture of a dragonfly's {Pg.993}, but are opaque rather transparent. They're similar to bubbles in both thickness and fragility.

Its head, similarly to its body, can grow anywhere up to 3 to 9 meters {9.7-29.5 feet}. The antennas upon the head can grow up to 3 meters more than the height of the head. Meaning that its antennas can be anywhere from 6 to 12 meters {19.7-39.4 feet} tall. This abnormality could easily take up the entirety of Human|Terran {Pg.278} common room, and fill up over half of a Human|Zexade{Pg.-224} temple.

Not much else is known about the Aeternus Nunca as it doesn't seem to mate, eat, drink, sleep, or reproduce. It never nests or keeps a constant habitat being a nomadic being. Magic scans have shown a lack of internal organs or any energy flowing through its body at all making it an enigma to even those from its own realm. The Aeternus Nunca shouldn't exist and leads to theories of there being multiple new plains of existence out there that we've yet to discover.

Tbh, this only made me imagine Pizza losing her shit and telling your mom she's not allowed to leave the couch.

Watching my step dad get competitive over his fireworks being bigger/louder than the neighbors is hilarious lmao
