my roman empire is the fact that dr. ratio couldn't get into the genius society because of how much he cares for others. my roman empire is the fact that the way that he loves and has too much empathy will be his own downfall. my roman empire is the fact that he spent so long thinking that he was enough only to be hit with the reality that the world and life is cruel and his heart is too soft for the universe he was born into.

my roman empire is that dr. ratio cares. he cares so damn much. he loved too much that it held him back from his ultimate goal.

dr. ratio they could never make me hate you.

normally i wouldn’t make a post like this, but i hope at least some people will see it:

from this NYT article

from this WSJ article

just so everyone has the information.

It's gonna be such a funny mess when Donald Trump dies of a stroke on April 1st, 2024.

Naturally everybody will think it's fake because of the date only to lose their minds (both positively and negatively based on their opinion of trump) when realizing it's real

There will be massive celebrations in the streets and on social media and lots of predictable "don't speak ill of the dead" discourse about those celebrations

Weird evangelicals will pull some weird number trick talking about how Jesus was conceived on April 1st and that makes Trump a sort of messiah and people will make fun of that

The Republicans (after they're done with the faux-sadness and faux-outrage) will stomp over each other to be his successor but none of them will succeed. They'll tear each other apart and have no single nominee for the November elections.

There will be discourse about if Biden and the living former presidents should go to his funeral (they won't, he was a traitor insurrectionist)

The Ukraine-Russia War immediately goes in favor of Ukraine as morale in the Kremlin is reduced. China similarly backs off from its threats on Taiwan.

Ten thousand new memes are made, some sticking around for years to come.

Not a month later a bunch of unofficial biographies of Trump hit the bookshelves, many with new details about just how awful he was.

[CONTESTANT 02] - Ken

(Art by @groppy)

it's last match tonight, the biggest tournament series in the world. it's everything... and he's just KEN. as soon as we watched the movie, we knew we had to get him in there. looking at our audience, i'm surprised he didn't win it all. judging by how much production wanted him in, i thought he had at least the first round on lock. i grabbed him right after the movie ended, and he was more than happy to try to prove himself once again. with an inability to describe his own job, and a fractured masculinity, who knows what'll happen to him post-elimination.

...and no, this isn't product placement for mattel.

make your bed this morning. eat breakfast. wear clothes that make you happy. hug your loved ones. be kind to yourself.

do it, and be selfish about it, because only you can do it for yourself.
