It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.
Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.
When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:
Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)

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?!
βI? KILL? said Death, obviously offended. CERTAINLY NOT. PEOPLE GET KILLED, BUT THAT'S THEIR BUSINESS. I JUST TAKE OVER FROM THEN ON. AFTER ALL, IT'D BE A BLOODY STUPID WORLD IF PEOPLE GOT KILLED WITHOUT DYING, WOULDN'T IT?β -Pratchett
Gnu sir terry
I made a little firefox extension to collect the clacks headers some websites use: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/clacks-collector/
Unfortunately there aren't many that do, but my websites do, and they include sir Patrick Stewart since yesterday :)
"A man is not dead while is name is still spoken."
I just finished rereading Going Postal a month ago. :)
I actually haven't read that one yet but I've been going through the Discworld series by subseries as recommended by Discworld Emporium, and I have been enjoying his work a lot. Very much looking forward to reading the origins of the Clacks.
I'm going to be quite direct here:
The fascist billionaires aren't old enough. If you want one to die, kill one. Commit some violence. Make them go the way of Charlie Kirk.
At least he took Lindsay Graham and, effectively, Mitch McConnell
Mitch is still occupying that seat and votes, Weekend at Bernie's style.
He died the way he lived. Being an obstructionist.
And then his sister inherited the crown because Democracy
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, Iβd 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.
The fascists funerals will be packed, but most will be there to verify that they are actually dead, and then to party.
Need the pull bin to be full of recognizable characters like Musk, the Waltons, Murdoch, and Trump, and the gravestone graphics to have the names of Dolly, Sir Patrick, Tim Curry, and the like.
Death: it is YOUR job, not mine to fix YOUR problems, not mine. But of course all you're going to do is demand random deities to make things better for you.
right omg. like guillotines weren't invented and resistance never existed.
believe it or not, these billionaire fascists are all made of meat and blood just like the rest of us.
Billionaires have good healthcare unfortunately
I mean, I get your point. But Sir Patrick Stewart was also insanely loaded. And even at his advanced age probably had better healthcare than most of us. Still. Sad.
Two things are certain in this world, death and taxes.
Unless you're a billionaire then only death and a few of them are trying very hard to keep that at bay for as long as possible .
I dunno chief, Patrick was getting pretty old. Nothing lasts forever, our heroes need to move on and rest.
Mr. Spock: A Vulcan would face such a loss without tears.
Young Spock: How?
Mr. Spock: By understanding every life comes to an end when time demands it. Loss of life is to be mourned, but only if the life was wasted.
--Star Trek: TAS, Yesteryear
2 of the 3 Hunt brothers are gone. They were a nasty bunch in their day.
billionaires have lobbied death for millennia.
kinda sucks that the proletariat is too dumb to lobby back their guillotine.π
French, Indonesian, Spanish, Belgians, Burmese, Thai, and Italians are excused.
It'd only take two, maybe three, tops before they're ready to raise the minimum wage to 25
