The RedDot | Bluesky

Transcript

An angry red head wearing a purple shirt with the X-Men logo on the breast knocks over Death and grabs him by the robe with tears in her eyes. She points to the claw machine Death was playing which is currently picking up a doll of Sir Patrick Stewart.

Dot: One… Just take ONE fascist billionaire. Or is this some kind of sick game to you?!

    When those fascists finally die nobody at their funeral will have truly loved them, and the world will not collectively mourn the loss of someone who made it better.

    While I get it, I’d rather appreciate these people and the lives they lived.

    The ones like Dolly and Patrick Stewart lived good lives that inspired us all for the better. They reached a good old age surrounded by loved ones before passing on. We would all be lucky to be half as fortunate, and our collective grief serves as a testament to their character.

        There’s a great book by John Scalzi called Starter Villain. It starts off with a pretty normal guy being asked to preside over his estranged uncle’s funeral. It gets pretty funny when every guest who attends is just there to make sure the body is in fact dead and is really the uncle. I was surprised with how much I enjoyed the book.
