I have blocked this person, but I keep seeing people say things like this, and I’m begging people to understand two things.

(1) Just because peaceful protest may not be sufficient to win this moment does not mean that it is not necessary.

It is.

i appreciate your words very often
Germans were very angry at their own government for not being truthful about the fierce nature of their enemy in WWI
this betrayal by leaders and mouthpieces led directly to Hitler and NSDAP
we're telling Americans peaceful protest will solve this
it won't

I thought this was going to be tough, but actually three of my favourite albums / songs / artists / concerts of all time made it very easy:

3 Whispering Jack
2 Crowded House
1 They Might Be Giants
HM Cyndi, Debbie, Belinda, Salt, Pepa, DJ Spinderella and all four Bangles.

Victorian Lady cyclist detectives... why is this not a tv series yet?
I can see it now, foggy London, ladies on bicycles through the narrow streets, swords hidden in walking sticks, Henry Cavill with a top hat, stolen diamonds, opium dens...

Remember when you first study the French Revolution and you think Bastille Day is the start like it's some Franz Ferdinand catalyst, but the professor drops some Darnton on your desk and next minute you're writing your essay about how the first deaths of the revolution were some cats in the 1730s?

Yeah I'll throw in a vote for Jack - seems like a pretty smart guy, on top of being good looking and a talented player.
