You can gather wood, but you can’t make a bonfire.

That sounds harder.

You’ve gotta make your own kind of music.

Much like the POTUS.

“I planned to have it for today but the Gods didn’t will it.”

Who am I to act against the will of the gods?

Alternatively:

“My hubris in meeting the deadline tempted the ire of the Fates.”

“I had it ready for today but the Trickster God, well, tricked me!”

So you are saying that memes are making the world a better place, right? … right?

It wasn’t good. It was terrible.

But also good.

Oh, they are from David LaChappelle. That explains a lot, though those have been uncomfortably great.

Thanks for sharing!

Do you hate brown people?
Do you enjoy cosplaying like a weekend warrior? Then come down to your local ICE office and get paid by following your two passions!

I guess… Haven’t heard it.

Sounds like something out of MST3K

• Mata Hari was Margaretha Geertruida Zelle.
• Fritz Duqesne had at least 30 known aliases.
• Lise de Baissac was primarily known as Irene Brisse but also Odile, Margerite and Adele.
• Even Dušan Popov, who’s allegedly the source for James Bond used in more than one occasion aliases like Duchan, Dusan or Hans: https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/record?catid=8204882&catln=6
• Eli Cohen also used a fake Syrian identity because c’mon, you won’t go around with an Israeli name trying to get into the Syrian government.

I know that double agents like Richard Sorge or Aldrich Ames would use their actual identities, but fake identities or even using the names of deceased people is very common.

That doesn’t seem very clever, going around sharing your own name despite being a spy.

Yet Ian Flemming was supposed to use his past experience in British Intelligence to come up with Bond’s novels, so what do I know.

And teachers’ houses got egged anyway.

And the call goes straight to voicemail.

And you need to make a phone call to get out.

I choose death.

Fun fact: Most witch trials happened outside of the scope of the church as a centralized institution, and were instead pursued by town councils or mobs.

Oftentimes an inquisitor’s job was exonerating Innocents. The most famous case would be Joan of Arc.

That said, there’s a difference between early cases and late cases and the church as an institution did burn people, but in most cases it was mob “justice”.

In fact:

“Pope Gregory VII, in 1080, wrote to King Harald III of Denmark forbidding witches to be put to death upon being suspected of having caused storms or failure of crops or pestilence.”

That said, Heresy was super punished in the most extreme ways (see the Cathars).

So in reality it wasn’t religion itself but people that are super duper shitty.

Edit: I think this is related to Hypathia, so:

“Rumors spread accusing her of preventing Orestes from reconciling with Cyril and, in March 415 AD, she was murdered by a mob of Christians led by a lector named Peter.”

A lector is a guy that reads, which was uncommon but he didn’t have any place of authority IMO.

If it has a remote, then using Home Assistant plus an IR emitter might be easier.

CRANK THAT HOG, BROTHER.

I like them both equally. I’m just concerned because one day dolphins will wisen up and figure out we are the root of all their problems.
