I Work Very Hard, And I Would Like To Try Cake
By A Horse
Hello. I am a horse. I work very hard at my job of being a horse. When humans say move the heavy thing, I move the heavy thing. When humans sit on top of me and pull on my head, I carry them where they want to go. The main food the humans give me is hay and oats. But I am thinking it would be nice to have a different food.
I am thinking I would like to try cake.
Yes, yes. Cake. I know all about it. When humans eat cake, it is in glad times. It is the food for a celebration, such as when a woman becomes 47. I have seen cake on the Fourth of July. When humans have a cake, they stand around it and clap hands and smile and say happy birthday at each other. Sometimes there are beautiful markings on a cake, such as balloons or a pink shape.
Sometimes the top of a cake is on fire and a boy must blow on the fire with mouth wind. This is the scariest cake. I do not want this kind. But I will eat any other cake. Any cake that is not the fire cake that tries to kill the boy.
Please understand: I do not get money for doing work. I do not get to go inside the house. All I am either doing my horse job or standing in my pen or eating food off the floor. I always do these things. But I have never once gotten cake and I would like it very much.
I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children. I am more helpful to the farm. Children do not move the heavy things like me or let anyone ride on them. And yet they get cake. Maybe the humans will realize this. Maybe they will say, "You know who deserves cake? That horse. That horse whose back we are always on."
Every day I dream about what it will be like if I get to eat cake. Here is what will happen. First, I will walk to the cake and putt my nose at it like hrrfff to make and stomping my hooves to make sure it is not a snake. Then I will trot in a circle to show that I am a horse and I am large. After that, I will nuzzle the cake to …
The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me.
It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

3 Panel comic of Timmy Turner and Chloe Carmichael wearing party hats, with Cosmo and Wanda in the background. They are all in Timmy's livingroom.
Panel 1: Wanda says "Happy birthday sports!" and Chloe says "Another year in the bag." Timmy looks sad.
Panel 2 and 3: Chloe says "are you okay Timmy? You look bummed out." Timmy replies with "Yeah, it's just...every year is one step closer to losing Cosmo and Wanda. I guess birthdays have become less fun as that comes closer and closer."
Finally time I started uploading my webcomic weekly again, starting with something about today which within the lore of FoP are Timmy and Chloe's birthdays. #FairlyOddparents #webtoon #webcomic #art #FairlyGoodKids

If you're curious how Hegseth got this way, this is the leader of his church.
They're also openly pushing for a theocracy, believe the 19th amendment should be repealed, have defended the antebellum south, and abuse is rampant in their churches.

With Netflix Retreat, Trump Ally Larry Ellison Will Soon Own Warner Brothers, HBO, CNN, CBS, Paramount, Discovery, And Part Of TikTok
Netflix has retreated from its protracted bidding war with Larry Ellison for control of Warner Brothers, giving the Trump ally likely control of Warner, CNN, and HBO. In a statement, Netflix co-CEO…
the upsides of the Paramount/Warner stuff:
1. Nobody at Paramount seems remotely competent
2. The U.S. isn't Hungary
3. The huge debt makes collapse very likely
4. Humans still have agency
5. Every time anybody has tried to use Warner to dominate media (see: AT&T) it has failed spectacularly

And literally nobody is arguing with focusing on affordability. You don't need to throw minorities under the bus to do it.

Newsom is being carried by his social media team. Without them he's just some guy desperate for his right wing son to think he's cool.

The weird thing is that in this current moment nobody is more focused on identity than Newsom because he's tripping over himself to talk about how icky he finds it every day while most everyone else is simply talking about affordability without trying to put it directly at odds with the marginalized

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti
Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti
“We are heartbroken but also very angry.
Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact.
I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed.
Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.
Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti.
"Please get the truth out about our son."

Chloe Carimchael smiling and pointing at Timmy Turner, who is frowning.
It's the 10th anniversary of Fairly Oddparents Season 10. Here's the very first drawing I did for it in 2016. Probably one of the first Chloe drawings online even. I was always a fan and am happy ANW has made people go back and be more open minded of this era too. #fop #fanart
