Yessir, Captain Tight Pants!
Quoted from the BBC article:
“Fast-fashion giant Shein has launched an investigation after an image of Luigi Mangione - accused of murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York last year - was used to model a shirt.
An image with his likeness, which appeared to show him wearing a white, short-sleeved shirt, appeared on the fast-fashion website until its removal.”
The YouTube comments for the BBC News clip on this story (linked here: http://youtube.com/post/Ugkxpu0ZsJNiOnIoUwLKiyHRgRJsA8HQfpQG?si=IzD0uWW2mBqjqvIt) were overwhelmingly positive in support of Luigi, but a few morally self-righteous viewers popped in and graced us with their objections.
But what is this?? This lady offered a challenge! What luck! I'll add to this post if she replies. They rarely do, but I'm curious if I changed her mind.
Enjoy!
Zoë: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing?
Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

Some viewers were just so perplexed!
Mal: It's my estimation that every man ever got a statue made of him was one kind of sumbitch or another.
—Firefly: “Jaynestown”
And some really, really have no idea how profoundly MAGA brainwashed they are. I have no idea if anything I say to maggots is read or fact-checked, but slapping people upside the head with a dose of reality makes me feel better and keeps me from getting comfy and complacent about the current state of things.
Because remember… None of this is normal. Don't let them gaslight you. The United States is NOT alright. Things will never be the same, and many things in this country will never be rectified within our lifetimes. Yet, we fight.
…And I aim to misbehave.

Mal: [about cattle] You know... they walk just as fast if you lead 'em.
Jayne: I just like smackin' 'em.
—Firefly: “Safe”
River: Also, I can kill you with my brain.
Firefly: “Trash”
Harken: Seems odd you'd name your ship after a battle you were on the wrong side of.
Mal: May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.
—Firefly: “Bushwhacked”
Wash: I am a leaf on the wind. Watch how I soar. 🍂🪦😭
