We all knew Reptar was going to be anti-deportation

Happy banned book week. Read a Bible extra to show support for one of histories most banned books. Then go help a person in need to demonstrate to the powers that be why it is such a dangerous book to live out.

My Mom always says that a glass of grape juice a day helps keep health up. I don't know the full efficacy, but grape juice is delicious at least.

Congratulations!

However, if you keep publishing about works in antiquity and medieval Egypt in ancient Greek and Egyptian are you worried about being considered a Helle-Copter scholar?

What about pumpkin spice season? Can we pumpkin spice up the profile?

Support @midnightburger.bsky.social and already have an episode from season 5 and Welcome to the Horizon season 2. I'll be listening while doing side work tomorrow thinking how great it would be to have a robot arm. But remember: "Nobody with a robot arm has lived a life entirely on the up and up."

A step outside your comfort zone might be to volunteer. Or it might be to give what you can to a stranger who knows someone vulnerable. Let's help others step out of the shadows. We can all use some light.

A non-violent way to protest is to volunteer to boost organizations that are serving the vulnerable. Maybe you don't know if someone is undocumented, but you probably know someone who knows someone.

Is this the "insult and incite your mercenaries" event? Do we get to see our Captain Cartwright or maybe Napoleon?

This meeting just sounds like the place where the modern Napoleon (TBD) sees who he can set up the next phase with.

Was it difficult to not transition with "He was just a skater boy. ICE says, 'See you later, boy.'"?
But the emphasis on not horrible news is appreciated.

Antifa is an organization in the same way that Disney Adults are an organization.

But, by all means, wish upon a star, Don.
