Speaking of coups d'état....

It must feel like old times for Aung San Suu Kyi, and not in any good way, being locked up by Myanmar's military "government" again.

And it was about alleged voter fraud.  The Dotard is looking on in envy.

One might recall that my SI was geased to "continue to walk the hero's path, else when he dies his soul will be taken by [Garm's] mistress", in Donaldson en Kazakiri.

But just what is the hero's path?

I'm curious as to how others would answer that question, so that I can get a better handle on how my SI should be behaving. Starting off the discussion, let's hear from some fictional characters who might end up becoming displacees:

Quote:If one truly is to have the right to be called a Hero, it's not because he wields a sword or because he holds a shield. Not because he heals, either. A Hero is one who risks his own life, to protect his companions, to save the woman, he wagers himself. It doesn't matter if you're beaten. It's fine if you're crushed. Weep all you want. Because the victor is always found among the losers. Drive your wish through. Cry out your desire. Do that, and that is when a Hero looks most impressive!

According to Georgia Republican Greene, the 2018 California wildfires were started by a secret space laser operated by Jewish financiers. (Article includes other items in her heap of crazy.)

She's also apparently been threatening Democratic Representative Cori Bush in the halls of Congress, to the point that Bush has had her office moved away from Greene's out of concern for her and her staff's safety.

At least one major Republican operative is openly calling Greene "insane".

According to a book written by a former KGB operative, Trump was groomed for nigh on forty years as a KGB asset. The article is an interesting read.

Netflix is going to be doing a live-action version of DC's Sandman, and they've just formally announced what look like almost all the primary cast members.  Interestingly, Death isn't among them, which begs the question, is she in the show at all, or are they still looking?  The article is annoyingly uninformative on that front.

The background:
Amateur investors, perhaps propelled by a mix of greed and boredom, are looking to teach Wall Street a lesson. They’ve come together on a popular Reddit page, Wall Street Bets, to push the stock of companies like GameStop — up 1,700% — to outrageous highs.
