Blocked this account for a negative QT, but lol. ”I mean sure, the immediate result was the Terror, followed by two decades of war that killed proportionately more than WW1, followed by a period of reaction, but *eventually*…”
5. Defining weird as “exotic” it’s probably this Russian book about Russia and Europe in the Napoleonic Era
4. Maybe A Confederacy of Dunces for content or my ancient paperback of Jurassic Park for sentimental reasons:
3. This is a hard one, since there’s so many ways to define it, but possibly this one my wife got at an estate sale:
What a great show. The Saenger is always such a fun venue too. And yeah I feel the need to re-watch Twin Peaks now.
Legitimately, if I didn’t know so many awesome Brazilians in real life, I’d think these are the most insufferable assholes on earth. The combination of arrogance + ignorance + legitimate grievance amplified to a billion is a sight to behold.
Q: How many performatively aggrieved South Americans habeni blocked today? A: A Brazilian!
Man it sure would be something if FIFA did anything at all about this revanchist bullshit that is somehow both sinister and aggressive and sad and pathetic at the same time.
I don't know how to graph this, and it looks like 2023 was a real beast (so was 2011), but it's pretty much about the same going back 50 years. Of course I grew up in the NO area, and I think it's slightly less hot than here.
I’m from New Orleans, if we want to talk about low, with hideous humidity. Also, New York is famously at sea level.
It’s so fascinating that pretty much all GOP campaigns anywhere in the country are variations of this:
Yes, people are always saying how soccer is not overcommericalized. Also, as much as I hate mandated TV breaks at football games, the idea that *that’s* why the game stops and starts is ridiculous.
Kept going cause I was past the first one before realizing the second one was there
Okay but a hidden sex life is absolutely incompatible with anything touching sensitive work, sorry
Finished this Noah’s Ark puzzle and yeah, some of these species are in trouble all right…
The new Louisiana map doesn't seem *terrible*, but I do wonder how a map could be drawn that doesn’t do ridiculous partisan or racial gerrymandering but still yields fair, competitive seats.
Yeah the Empire is bad and it’s clearly established on the 1st act of ANH by the stormtroopers murdering all the Jawas and Luke’s family … But *American* fascism? They’re modeled explicitly on the Nazis and are otherwise very British coded.
Doing this Noah’s Ark jigsaw puzzle I got years ago at Hobby Lobby, and I think cardinals might go extinct.
Tankies are literally as stupid, evil, and vicious as fascists. The only difference is that they’re nowhere near power anywhere they can actually do the harm they desperately want to do.
Good Lord, it was all there in 2016 … let no one pretend they didn’t know
