"memento mori"

 

"Marooned"

His ship had given up its ghost weeks ago. The reactor was damaged in the crash, offering no hope of repair, and with it went the emergency beacon. Now, with no hope of rescue, he leaned against the tree to rest his weary frame.

He listened to the soft wind, rippling the grass around him. Noticed, for the very first time, the blooming flowers bathed in the lunar glow of the twin moons above. He breathed a sigh of relief. “There were worse ways to go,” he thought, and felt profoundly grateful.

 

"evil new war god"

“Our opponents join with warmongers and neocons to wage endless wars, 

these wars that never end.” 

“I’m not going to start a war. I’m going to stop wars.” 

 [I will] turn the page forever on those foolish, stupid days of never-ending wars.” 

 “I am the first president in modern times to start no new wars.” 

Donald Trump (2024)
