Withheld wages don’t normally “cry out either,” so I think Ol’ James might have been speaking poetically.

James 5: 1-6

Come now, you rich people, weep and wail for the miseries that are coming to you. Your riches have rotted, and your clothes are moth-eaten. Your gold and silver have rusted, and their rust will be evidence against you, and it will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up treasure during the last days. Listen! The wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, cry out, and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts. You have lived on the earth in luxury and in pleasure; you have nourished your hearts in a day of slaughter. You have condemned and murdered the righteous one, who does not resist you.

I have all the sympathy in the world for the workers here, but I fucking hate the New York Times.

This paper (like most media) enabled the 1st Trump presidency by giving him all the attention as a candidate in the 1st place.

Then they sold themselves as principled opposition and made a pretty penny doing so.

Now they’ve done all that shit again this time around.

Fuck um.

I’d bet 5 dollars on Mox and crew showing up to their homes in a taped segment in the next few weeks.

If you’re curious about the guy, he’s worth reading. His Letters and Papers from Prison and Ethics are the two dealing with all of this. Ethics is unfinished, because he was moved from a standard prison to a concentration camp before they eventually executed him.

Not many, but my hope is that anyone interested enough does a little research.

Bonhoeffer’s pacifism is a complicated matter. He believed in nonviolence, but also participated in a plot to kill Hitler.

To summarize him a little…. Sometimes we need to abandon our principles to care for others. My goodness is less important than the wellbeing of those who are oppressed.

I tell people that I’m a pacifist in the same way that Bonhoeffer was.

We’re in Mox’s Kagetsu arc.

Mox is attacking OC with a juicer before this is all over.

He does stupidly well with the ladies. Kavorka for days.

Mr. Burton is a treasure.

Pretty sure this is the closest we’ve been to including an actual vampire in this game.

Does Allucard count as a vampire?

Disco Elysium

Vampire Survivors

I honestly don’t think he makes it to January.

Never forget that Trip straight up got impregnated In season 1.

See, Mike can’t forget his username if it’s his name and birthday.

I regularly see 2 on my commute. I wouldn’t exactly notice that I have a similar commute to other people, but a Cybertruck sticks out.

1 of them has been painted a matte black that looks like a chalkboard (good luck to them when the road salt comes out) and the other is the regular finish.

Either way, I’m always thinking about just how fucking dorky the things look compared to everything else on the highway.

And it’s not like they’re using it for anything cool. They’re both just stuck in the same traffic as the rest of us.

I just use part of a post-it note.

Arcade Gannon would be so disappointed in his voice actor.

In academia (my line of work) they’re required to have positions posted and open for a certain amount of time, interview a certain number of applicants, etc.

In theory, it’s for equal opportunity and finding the best person for the job.

In practice, it’s a waste of time, money, and hope.
