I know they're just trying to stop random idiots climbing on it, but the total lack of explanation makes this sounds like every government warning in a horror movie ever.
anyway who wants to go find out what secrets and treasures are on the boat with me
I feel like it’s self-explanatory

Vigilante!Smalltown!Reader: I don’t know if this is what God intended for me, but who am I to question his will.
Vigilante!Smalltown!Reader getting viscously hunted down by Gotham’s Bat Pack after only some playfully flirting.
Vigilante!Smalltown!Reader: I am now questioning! WTF, God?!
A/N: This was dumb, but my sense of humor is trash.
man turned 26, got kicked off his parents' health insurance, experienced firsthand how the healthcare industry works, and said absolutely not and took direct fucking action
luigi mangione they could never make me hate you
wishing you a speedy jury nullification and acquittal, king
In the days since the killing, we've seen photos as well as whole pages taken down from healthcare sites. There was also an attempt by David Joyner to remove information about himself from Wikipedia.
And today, after 3 days at the top of tumblr's trending tags, United Healthcare is suddenly just... gone?
I sense shenanigans, Tumblr staff.
CURRENT HIGH SCORE: 1 CEO TOP PLAYER: DDD
Makes a good Albumcover
UHC shooter has become a real-life hero in my eyes. literally a vigilante justice doing the will of the people. not only did he take out the UHC CEO execution-style, he also scared BCBS into taking back their new bullshit anesthesia policy. all you bitches that worship school shooters and serial killers are sick in the head, but THIS!?!?!?! I'm getting deny defend depose tattooed on my forehead. take the system down comrade
Luigi is charged with TERRORISM. Get the living fuck out of here. Fuck you. This is America - a CEO matters - regular people, SCHOOL CHILDREN do not. FOH.
Fuck this POS country. Hard.
you know what's funny about the all the supportive internet commentary re: the murdered health insurance exec? it's weirdly reminiscent of that scene in A Christmas Carol where the ghost of Christmas future shows Scrooge all those people who are bad-mouthing him after his death
like...bizarrely reminiscent
“the pettiness is strong with this one”
“she petti on my ness till i’m strong with this one”
“what? huh? am i having a stroke?”
“she what on my huh til i’m having a stroke”
“stop.”
blogs that i dont follow back but will take their side in anything that happens to them ever and block whoever is weird or mean to them. reverse-parasocially
I must say. I have never, in my life, seen such a display of divine punishment. It was almost poetic, like a hero from the epics of old rising in vengence and rage, a symbol of the people. As someone vehemently against the death penalty I should feel disgusted, but I really cannot help but be in awe at this man.
Sometimes, money and power rise you so above justice that you must be brought down to earth and reminded you're mortal. The passing of a soul is always a shame, but when a soul kills thousands and views lives as mere numbers to fill his pockets? I may no longer be that religious, but I will say even Jesus Cristo - known hater of the rich and despiser of fucking other people over - would find it hard to keep up with "love each other as I have loved you" motto. Perhaps that's why he's a religious figure and I am not, for my heart hasn't experienced this catharsis in ages.
The governor of Pennsylvania (the state the Adjuster was found in), Josh Shapiro (who was on the shortlist to be Kamala's VP pick lol) just said at a press conference: “In America, we do not kill people in cold blood to resolve policy differences or express a viewpoint."
What, Josh, exactly, are we supposed to do?
Vote? Thanks to gerrymandering, the electoral college, politicians being funded by corporations, and "news" organizations peddling propaganda, that does shit all.
Protest? We try doing that and we are just ignored. The right makes jokes about running over protestors (because apparently only the lives of rich white people matter).
Call our politicians? They don't fucking care. We've been trying that for decades and they barely passed Obamacare, which Trump now wants to dismantle.
MLK said "a riot is the language of the unheard." We have been screaming at the tops of our lungs that these "policy differences" are killing us. Costly private medical insurance is killing us. Lack of gun control is killing us. Rising food and fuel prices are killing us. Microplastics everywhere is killing us. Fossil fuels are killing us.
And people like you, Governor Josh Shapiro, do nothing except protect your rich friends.
I'm surprised it's taken this long, and I'm surprised there haven't been copycats yet. Let me know when I should grab my torch and pitchfork, because my student and medical debt ridden ass is very ready for some good old-fashioned revolution.
I hope the CEO of united healthcare gets stuck in queue at the pearly gates indefinitely while terrible Muzak plays and an angel’s voice very occasionally calls out “Your afterlife is very important to us. Please stay in the line” and then his entrance is denied.
I've been closely following (read: checking the tag on Tumblr) the story about the guy who shot the CEO of a health insurance company and I have to say, from the point of view of someone who lives in a country where universal health services are provided by the government free of cost since before I was born... the reaction I'm seeing is a relief. Americans really need to get angrier about this shit. Everytime I read a story about someone begging others to not call an ambulance because this could bankrupt them and their children, I get shivers down my spine. The only people surprised by the joyful reaction this assassination has been getting are the people very likely to be targets of the next assassination. Stay mad!
Brian Thompson went into work every day and made decisions that he knew would lead to death and suffering on a truly obscene scale, all in the name of profit. He was a murderer and a monster whose atrocities eclipse those of anyone on death row.
The fact that his weapon of choice was a bureaucratic system that is legally recognized as legitimate does not make him any less culpable for the lives he and his ilk have destroyed, and in fact only allowed him to hurt people on an even larger scale.
I am only saddened by the fact that his death will in no way impede the apparatus he was in charge of from continuing to hurt people.
You know, if CEOs want me to really care about CEOs getting killed by guns, maybe we shouldn't have spent the last couple decades making the US so numb to absolutely horrifying gun violence. I have reached the point where I can not cry when another round of kids in school are murdered with guns. No wonder I can feel vaguely amused when a sleazy millionaire who built his career off denying human rights and dignity is being murdered.
That being said, I don't want to be in charge of ranking who is most worthy of life and making the call on choosing who lives and dies.
Hmmm....You know who does want to be in charge of that?
(Health Insurance CEOs)
“I feel bad for his kids.” I don’t. They’re gonna get the best therapy money can buy. They’re gonna have nannies to take care of them. And once they become adults they’ll get enough money to set them up for life.
My mom died when I was a kid and my dad had to take care of us by himself on artist wages. If you’re struggling to make rent with your commissions, imagine trying to support two kids on top of that while trying to deal with the deaths of your wife and your father within a month of each other.
So yeah. I don’t feel bad for any of his family. They’ll do fine without him. They’ve got the money for it.
"They just replaced Brian Thompson, the shooter didn't change anything..."
Blue Cross IMMEDIATELY reversed their anesthesia plan. So like yeah? He actually did.
not reblogging the total ragebait i saw on my dash quick someone make up something else for mebto be mad at
you’re laughing. everybody has come back to tumblr bc every other social media site is breaking just as homestuck comes back, david tennant comes back to doctor who, news is conveyed via canon destiel meme, and a show about MCU loki is airing, in a full revival of the 2012 tumblr era, and you’re laughing.
