It's like watching Tom Brady throw a football or Shohei Ohtani hit a baseball. Just happy to be alive at the same time as the greatest poster of all time.

you think it's "gay" to be associated with anything left of center ...

*opens manilla envelope*

... and yet, on jan 21, 2025 ...

*slides 8x10 photo across table*

... you wore the tutti frutti
CIAsandman on Twitter writes: "Leftist friend got called “fuckin lib” by a foid at a bar last night. Their cultural grip is slipping. It’s cringe and gay to even be associated with anything left of center." On January 21, 2025, CIAsandman tweets: "White boy fuel." There's a photo showing him holding a half-eaten piece of bread a bottle of water. On his wrist is a white Swatch watch. An eBay auction for the Swatch says: 1996 Vintage Swatch Watch TUTTI FRUTTI GW109 Working Swatch Watches Women A detective looks down at a suspect while a light is shining above the suspect's head.

11th-century University of Paris professor Raymond Diocrès, considered a saint at his death, returns to life at his funeral to warn he has been condemned to Hell for his sins

[Vicente Carducho, Saint Bruno’s Conversion before the Body of Diocrès, 1626-1632, oil on canvas (Museo Nacional del Prado)]
"Raymond Diocrès, a notable professor at the University of Paris, was already considered saintly when he died in 1082. At his funeral, he himself spoke to the attendees three times to inform them that God had accused, judged and finally condemned him for his sins. This first work from the series shows the deceased’s horror as well as the surprised visage of Bruno of Cologne (1035-1101), who was also a Paris University professor at that time. And here, it is clear that Vicente Carducho drew on the series that Juan Sánchez Cotán had painted for the charterhouse in Granada between 1615 and 1617. Both artists conceived this scene in a similar manner, with the deceased speaking from his position at the center of a majestic architectural setting. Some details are the same in both works, such as the clergyman wearing glasses (who appears on opposite sides of the two painting), or the mourning cross on a velvet-covered base" https://www.museodelprado.es/en/the-collection/art-work/saint-brunos-conversion-before-the-body-of-diocres/3ad3fd61-69b1-488a-a65c-c4416ee54f54

They’re stealing something from the public! Makes you think about what else is being stolen in plain sight due to austerity
