Here's an alt-text description of the image:
The image is a split-panel cartoon contrasting two scenes, labeled "THEN" and "NOW". The "THEN" panel depicts a person standing in front of a statue of a Confederate soldier, with a stone base labeled "1861-1865 CSA". A person is standing to the right of the statue, with a Confederate flag on their shirt, raising a fist and shouting. The "NOW" panel depicts a person standing in front of a chalkboard displaying โTulsa Massacreโ with a sign that says โLesson Bannedโ. Multiple people of different ethnicities are protesting behind them, with another person holding a flag on their shirt and raising a fist. The text in the "THEN" panel reads: "WE MUST PRESERVE OUR HERITAGE!". The text in the "NOW" panel reads: "WE MUST BURY OUR HERITAGE!".

Here's an alt-text description of the image:
This is a four-panel comic strip titled "Progressive Tax: How does it work?". Each panel presents a common misconception about progressive taxes on the left, crossed out with a red X, and the correct explanation on the right, marked with a green check.
The first panel shows a hand reaching for a large stack of money with the label "your income," while another hand labeled "government" takes 70% of it. The text reads: "False: the tax rate applies to all of your income." The correct side shows the same scenario but with the text: "True: the tax rate only applies to the part of your income above a certain level."
The second panel shows a character looking worried with the text: "False: taxes deprive you of your hard-earned money." The correct side shows the same character looking excited with the text: "True: you will probably never get on the high tax rate if you haven't been born rich."
The third panel shows a character looking distressed with the text: "False: This is a radical communist idea that Americans will never buy!" The correct side shows the same character happily holding a large bill with the text: "True: Americans already did."
The fourth panel shows a character in a suit with the label โOcasio-Cortezโ holding a large โ70% taxโ label. The correct side shows a series of images representing different eras with corresponding tax rates: โ1920s: 73% marginal tax rateโ, โ1950s: 90% marginal tax rateโ, and โ1960s: 69% marginal tax rate.โ The comic is signed by โKasia Babis.โ

So, the time approaches
Well, Sunday was... Just was.
I've gotten cremation vaults, and Sunday I took care of moving the cremains in, while Vik's mom was easy, he'd already spread about half her ashes, so splitting her between two spreader urns and the vault was easy, him not so much. Vik was a fairly large gentleman, and that means a lot of cremains, I'd thought that once unsealed there'd be enough room in the back to shift him around to fit in the vault, but nope, had to scoop a fair amount into a bowl in order to fit his bag in, then add the cremains back in and re-seal.
The white is his mom's cremains, and the blue is him and Panta, it felt like they should be buried together.
It seems with how much Panta meant to him, it was only right to bury them together.
Speaking of burial, that'll be Tues. I haven't told his family, I have a very, very small social battery, and doing this, I'm really not going to be up for being around people, I'm barely up to it on a good day, and that's not going to be a good day obviously. We're not doing a graveside service, this is just a basic burial, places them in the grave, and I'll likely help Arlen fill it in, I mean at his age he prolly shouldn't be digging graves, so I'm certainly going to offer to help fill it in, I've already offered to arrange for someone else to open, but he insisted on doing it himself. I won't chase his family away if'n they show up, and they have access to this blog, but I'm definitely not going to feel like being around people. Its kinda funny, he always said he was an introvert, and yet he was on a bowling team, active part of the pen club scene out here even helping with the convention, was at least part of events related to Ingress at one time even taking part in a big event here, active with WikiTree and other genealogy sites, and more, so much that I doubt I've contacted them all. Me? I'm a happy hermit, I'll just stay home, read and watch... well, more listen to TV, and that's it. I don't think he could really be counted as an introvert...
There might be a memorial in the future, a lot of people would certainly like it, but I've been leaving that up to his family, at least the organization, and I haven't heard anything on that front.
We'll also need to pick out a headstone, plan is to get a double headstone, but use it a bit non-standardly, with his mom's name top center, his name lower left, and a blank spot for me on the right for when my time comes. Well that, or put my name without a date now, but that seems a touch morbid to me.
We've also scheduled an appointment with a lawyer to get the probate matter settled, 18th we'll see about getting that rolling so it goes to court.

And again:
Attn Pennsylvania voters:
A massive wave of texts is being sent from random numbers telling Democrats and Independents to vote โNoโ on the Supreme Court retention questions. These messages are fake and misleading, part of a coordinated disinformation push.
- Do not click any links.
- Delete the texts.
- Ignore the message.
In Pennsylvania, vote YES to retain the Supreme Court justices on the ballot. Donโt let deceptive tactics silence your vote!

in reply to Jeph • • •A cartoon depicts a person delivering food to a vampire at their front door. The scene is set on the porch of a wooden house, with a small fence and pumpkins scattered around the yard. The person delivering is standing on the porch steps, holding a brown paper bag. A vampire, wearing a black suit and cape, is standing in the doorway.
The delivery person has curly blonde hair and is wearing an orange sweater and blue pants. The vampire has pale skin, dark hair, and a pointed chin. There are three pumpkins visible in the foreground, each with a carved face.
A speech bubble above the delivery person's head reads: โI apologize, sir. Iโm delivering your Grubhub order but it looks like all they sent is a bib.โ The house has a dark brown door and a small lantern hanging above it. The background features green bushes and a slightly cloudy sky. The artist's signature, "Jim Benton.com" and instagram handle "jim bentonshots" are in the lower corners.
