Aboard a Shipwreck Train

tag yourselves, I’m duff golden and Light Alton

(this one wants to be a beyblade when it grows up)

the idea is to include as many unique moves as you can, to make your shrieking deathbot difficult to counter

or dodging. that works too.

also, some of the speed demons have… unorthodox attachments to fool other bot’s sensors

WIIINGS MOTHERFUCKERRRRRRR

robot sumo is also a sport where spectators may end up taking a small robot to the shins if they aren’t careful.

FLYYYYYYY

1) Does not hurt rhinos

2) Discolours ivory (BRIGHT PINK) thus reducing saleability

3) Can be detected by airport scanners, even if ground up, thus increasing the chances you will be caught

4) Causes nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea if ingested by humans, thus driving away your customer base

Sophie Scholl’s last words: 

“How can we expect righteousness to prevail when there is hardly anyone willing to give himself up individually to a righteous cause? Such a fine sunny day, and I have to go, but what does my death matter, if through us thousands of people are awakened and stirred to action?”

A Trump voter’s undocumented husband was just deported to Mexico

Roberto Beristain, father of American citizens, Indiana business owner and husband of a woman who voted for Donald Trump, was deported to Mexico late Tuesday night for being an undocumented immigrant.

Beristain — who has a Social Security card, work permit and driver’s license — was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in March during one of his voluntary yearly check-ins, which allowed him to stay in the United States. And on Tuesday, officials went a step further by expelling him from the country.

There have been a ton of these sorts of stories, and almost every time, I end up seeing someone taking offense, because apparently we aren’t being sympathetic enough to the Trump voters impacted.

Here’s the deal. There are going to be a lot more of these sorts of stories. And whether they’re about health insurance or deportations, it’s genuinely hard to feel a lot of sympathy for people who wanted others treated badly but are surprised Trump meant them. I do feel for the guy and for his kids, I genuinely do, but this was a serious election, and it was always going to have serious consequences. His wife didn’t understand that, and wasn’t offended by what surely should have offended her, on the very first day that Trump announced his candidacy. She didn’t put him in office alone, but she did her part to help.
