Fun historical fact: Richard the Lionheart was French and Gay.

No joke here, actually, he literally was. He didn't even speak English and only went to England like once, because he was too busy in France having gay sex with French kings.

The IT manager at my new job is absolutely hulked out to the max. Muscles on top of muscles.

It makes me feel very secure because I know that if all else fails, he can always Punch the Computer.

How to deal with your conservative relatives at Thanksgiving:
- keep to non controversial topics, like who should own the means of production
- focus on common ground, like how left communism is an infantile disorder
- remind them that Stalin was trapped in a game of realpolitik, and had few options

What I don't get about American history is during the Revolutionary War period everyone was named things like "John Adams".

But when the Civil War comes around everyone is named things like "Jedediah Hotchkiss" and "Ambrose Burnside".

Then we just went back to normal names? What was going on??

Oh really? "they/them" pronouns are woke? Did you know "they/them" comes from Old Norse, whereas "he/she" come from old English? They/them are the pronouns of Vikings.

Would you call Sweyn Forkbeard "woke"? And Eric Bloodaxe? Woke too? And I suppose even Ivar the Boneless was woke. Get real.

Aristotle: humans are the rational animal.
Humans: lol okay buddy, we'll see about that.

I really hate how American Christianity has basically just turned into white nationalism. That's not what Christian is supposed to be about.

It's supposed to be about going to church so you can gossip about your neighbors, and being weird about sex.

In a way Trump and Mamdani are similar. They are both populists fighting against the elite, it's just who they see as "the elite" differs.

Mamdani sees the elite as the billionaires who control the economic, political, and social systems of society.

Trump sees the elite as people who read books.

My most conservative opinion? That we should go back to the old name for the common kestrel.

In an ideal society the leaders would be the wisest and most virtuous of people.

In a less than ideal society they would be chosen more or less at random, as by chance.

In our actual society, they are... well I'm not sure exactly how to describe it, but let's just say we are "totally fucked".

If I were Lord Emperor of America I would simply design an economic system where housing price do NOT rise faster than salaries always and forever.

Sorry, but if the Republican party is going to start on the whole "making fine distinctions between pedofiles and ephebophiles" then they have to ALSO go back to the Gold Standard.

No one knows why, but those are the rules.
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

It's kind of funny how close q-anon was to uncovering a secret pedo ring amongst the world's elite. They really just missed. They only made one minor mistake which was their iron clad rule of "the more racist you are the less you are a pedo" didn't hold water in the end.

Meanwhile, on twitter, did you know that Mary Shelley never could have written Frankenstein (which is about magnets as you know) because her boyfriend was really into magnets?

In fact, when you think about it, that's why women in general don't write great literature (chicks aren't into magnets).

The irony of conspiracy theorists is, of course, that they are the most easily manipulated people on the planet. For, having no standards of evidence whatsoever, they can be led by the nose to believe anything – so long as it isn't true.

Mankind no longer fears the spirits that dwell in the deepest forests. We have lost our respect for those who came before us, who watch us still with eyes not of this realm. We have forgotten what our ancestors knew by instinct: the world is to be feared, not understood.

all because of woke...

All the Republicans saying stuff like "I GUESS NYC FINALLY FORGOT 9/11!!" is so funny. Apparently "never forget" was always just supposed to mean "we will be extra racists to middle easterners forever."

Maybe I'm naive but I thought it had something to do with remembering the victims? Guess not.

good morning specifically to the FBI agent who introduced Mamdani’s dad to Marx

Mamdanigrad (formerly New York City), will stand as a shining example to the world of what is possible when the workers unite, and crush the bourgeois class with an iron fist (mild increase in minimum wage, free buses, etc).

Guy who has $300 million dollars, but will only have $330 million at the end of Mamdani's term (he might have had $340 million if Cuomo was elected): "This is the biggest disaster in history. This is communism. Stalinism even. I have no choice but to become a fascist."

Daylight savings time reveals just how much we rely on the government to tell us when to go to bed and wake up.

Human beings as a species, on some fundamental level, simply cannot handle the responsibility of deciding our own bedtimes.
