I want to run through the streets naked with green jello all over my body reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly might feel the need to, okay, pal?

In March 0222, I wrote about the Ukraine biolabs- I was labelled as spreading misinformation by various news sources.
Today, Tulsi Gabbard released the hard evidence that I had uncovered in 2022 - there were many, many biolabs in Ukraine.
I also heard first hand accounts that we personally took these labs out, once the war started - as we didn't want Russia to get hold of them.
Russia had every right to not want Ukraine to have US biolabs on their border.
The start of this war was built on lies and more more lies.

People have to stop making this insecure gooly ge bitch boy of a man without a spine or idea of what the hell he's doing.

Clark even as Superman is a grown ass man, a man with clear and firm beliefs given to him by his parents who raised him and were present.

The second he starts in Metropolis he should already know what to do and how to do it because of his Superboy days in Smallville where his training ground.

Writes today make him a mess because they think he's lived like them am insecure bug with mental issues because mommy and daddy were too busy with work and never gave him the time of day.

NO! THAT'S NOT SUPERMAN!

People need to stop writing him as just the soft “golly gee gosh” hero and avoid portraying him as some displaced god persona.

The best Superman is one who feels most like a man with firm beliefs from how he was raised, stoic and controlled in the face of turmoil and opposing views, and just earnestly does his part as a hero because he wants to do good and be responsible.

The “golly gee” soft type we’re seeing lately is a drastic over correction from how he was in the Snyder movies, and if anyone wants the template for how to write Superman there are two extremely good choices to follow:

Christopher Reeve

Or Superman: The Animated Series.

Also he’s not even that hard to write, you just need to know how to use a flat character arc effectively.

Wells Fargo shut down my bank accounts when I was 17 hours away from home with no other way to pay for anything. I was stranded. They sent my entire bank account and savings to loss prevention in 2021, mailing me a check a month later.

Even today, Wells Fargo refuses to cash checks I bring in from their clients (they told me they don’t keep cash at the bank—seriously). When I tried to open a business account, they kept letting the application “expire” to indirectly refuse doing business with me, despite me signing everything and submitting all applications on time.

I am very happy to see that there is finally an investigation into Wells Fargo and the corruption going on within these big banks. No American should have to suffer financial blacklisting. Give them hell, Judge Jeanine!

DOWNGRADE.

Swords are cool.

Guns are cool.

Swords and guns together are even cooler.

This is why the most popular sci-fi universes combine them.

40K. Star Wars. Dune.

They all have reasons (Dune more than the others) but really it's just because it's cool.

If you want a universe where guns and swords co-existed and were both useful in real life without hand-wavy reasons, the pike and shot era is your best bet.

You get all the armour, pageantry and huge variety of melee weapons from the medieval era. Plus pistols, arqebuses, muskets, cannon.

Best of both worlds.

Those who tried to obey died

Gov. Ratcliffe, for example, the one demonized by Disney's Pocahontas propaganda, was a constant enemy of John Smith because Smith demanded violent reprisals and Ratcliffe wanted to deal peacefully with the natives. They tortured him to death for it

Even when starving, for example, Ratcliffe tried to buy corn from the Indians rather than just take it. The Indians took the opportunity to torture him to death for no reason at all, ignoring that he had been the one calling for them to be treated as people worthy of peace and respect rather than just crushed

Here is how Benjamin Woolley describes that in his (surprisingly honest) book Savage Kingdom:

As the barge approached Powhatan's royal enclosure, Ratcliffe was greeted by servants offering gifts of venison and bread from the mamanatowick, and the captain sent copper and beads in thanks. Ratcliffe and his crew were then escorted inland through a large cornfield to a house near Powhatan's enclosure, where they were told they could stay for the duration of the visit. Powhatan's children, meanwhile, returned to their father.

That evening, Powhatan came in person to greet the visitors, bringing with him Spelman and Thomas Savage, together with a Dutch boy named Samwell, who had been left with the Indians since Smith's debacle with the Dutch sent to work at Werowocomoco. Powhatan greeted his guests, and returned to his own quarters.

The following morning, the emperor came with Spelman and 'a company of savages', including several women, to escort Ratcliffe and his party to a nearby storehouse. There the Englishmen were shown a collection of huge baskets brimming with corn, which through Spelman Powhatan announced he was willing to trade. A price was agreed, and the captain handed over 'pieces of copper and beads and other things according to the proportion of the baskets of corn which they [had] bought'.

Powhatan took his leave, the women and Spelman following. The English soldiers, relishing the resumption of decent rations, began to carry the corn the half-mile or so to the barge. However, they quickly discovered from the weight of the baskets that they had false bottoms, and were almost empty.

The English began to complain loudly of being cheated, 'whereat a great number of Indians, that lay lurking in the woods and corn about' began shouting 'with an oulis and whoopubb', as Spelman described it. The English made a run for the barge, carrying what corn they could. But within sight of their boat, they were ambushed by Indian warriors lying in a neighbouring cornfield. Just two of the English soldiers managed to escape the ensuing onslaught by running off into the woods.

Captain Ratcliffe was seized and brought before Powhatan at his enclosure. There was no sign of Spelman, Savage or Samwell, who, 'fearing the worst', had fled. According to Smith, Spelman had been tipped off by Pocahontas that he would be in peril if he stayed. One of the English soldiers who had managed to escape the Indians' attack was hiding in the nearby undergrowth, and it was he who later reported to Percy what happened to Ratcliffe.

A fire was kindled at the foot of a tree. Ratcliffe was stripped of his clothes, and tied to the tree. Several women then approached the naked captain. They began to flay his skin with the sharp edges of mussel shells, gently teasing it away from the flesh. They then sliced through the muscle and sinews to remove the limbs and organs from his body, which were 'before his face thrown into the fire; and so for want of circumspection [he] miserably perished'.
