I'm reasonably sure all Calvins grow up to be Dad.

i'm traveling and can't sit down to write out the portland police's history of using town halls, press conferences, and leaks to campaign against elected officials but they are repeat offenders and we should call it what it is: election interference by a cartel of armed washington state residents

Each drop has presaged a time of turmoil and eldritch horror. Prophecy warns of the Tenth Drop, the Blorp that Shakes the World
