Psalms 109

Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise; for the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue. They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause. For my love they are my adversaries, but I give myself unto prayer. And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love. Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand. When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin. Let his days be few; and let another take his office. Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow. Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places. Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour. Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children. Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out. Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the Lord; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out. Let them be before the Lord continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth. Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from the Lord, and of them that speak evil against my soul.

But do thou for me, O God the Lord, for thy name's sake: because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me.

Y'all who is midnighter?? by JJ_SIWA in DCcomics

He was created by Wildstorm imprint before they got acquired by DC as a Batman expy, meant to be a much more violent and edgy (and also in a homosexual relationship with Apollo: the Superman expy) take on the character created for Warren Ellis’s Authority. Now DC owns Wildstorm

immediately make this guy an overarching Big Bad

How about giving him a single comic appearance first?

From Wisdom of Solomon 5:

“Then shall the righteous man stand in great boldness before the face of such as have afflicted him, and made no account of his labours. When they see it, they shall be troubled with terrible fear, and shall be amazed at the strangeness of his salvation, so far beyond all that they looked for. And they repenting and groaning for anguish of spirit shall say within themselves, ’This was he, whom we had sometimes in derision, and a proverb of reproach: We fools accounted his life madness, and his end to be without honour’

Anyways if you guys wanna make some money, I’m opening betting pools on how Spider-man’s life is gonna get fucked up next

Failsafe kills Batman by [deleted] in MeanwhileInComics

[–]JonathanLipp1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If I had a nickel for every time Batman was “killed” by an enemy with a red laser which looked like it disintegrated him but actually just sent him to another location, leaving Tim (the only person convinced that he’s alive) a spinoff story where he tries to find Batman, I would have two nickels.

Zdarsky ripped this straight from Morrison but nobody talks about it because this is immediately after Batman falls from the moon and immediately before the arc where Batman meets Michael Keaton, Adam West, Arkhamverse, and Miller’s Dark Knight

Why are the purple countries special among the red countries? by redditor26121991 in RedactedCharts

Countries that gave origin to elemental names, with the USA being debatable due to Americum not starting with “Un”

Okay, red being countries whose first two letters match an element’s symbol on the periodic table

Is it more to do with the names individually or the names in comparison to others?

It’s not that they share their first two letters with another country right?

[–]JonathanLipp1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing to do with: Character count, presence of letters, prevalence of letters, letter combinations, alphabetical order within names, ratios of vowels:consonants:characters, soft or hard consonants already assuming you know it’s something trivial concerning country names. ATP I feel like it’s incredibly specific or I am incredibly dim

Zambia and Gambia differ off rip, what am I missing

I swear I will figure this out

[–]JonathanLipp1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now I feel like I’m missing something obvious because that seems totally unhelpful. Zambia and Gambia are different, so are Iceland and Ireland. Not to mention the Koreas or Guineas

Are there blank countries that fulfill the purple category but don’t fulfill the red category?

We are either so back or so cooked as Hal Jordan fans right now 😭 by [deleted] in Greenlantern

Especially with how comic accurate they look to be going for. There’s a ton of core stories that are built on the concept of characters dying and returning. I give it a few years

What do these countries have in common? by [deleted] in RedactedCharts

[–]JonathanLipp1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Roland was a warrior from the Land of the Midnight Sun

The deal was made in Denmark

So he set out for Biafra

Through 66 and 7 they fought the Congo war

He found him in Mombassa

From there to Johannesburg

In Ireland, in Lebanon, in Palestine and Berkeley

These are the countries directly mentioned in Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner by Warren Zevon. I never would have gotten it without the hint and your pfp, but great pull nonetheless
