Capitalism is bad
Also: cats and metal
Those aren't deaths; those are oopsies and capitalism feels very very badly about them.

And at what cost?

Which is an opportunity to explain that the bandaids that social democracy puts on capitalism, while perhaps well intentioned, are insufficient, and that only socialism may address the root causes of our issues.

Huh. Being anti American is bad? Huh.

Spending Thanksgiving defending genocide is like the platonic fucking ideal of being an American

So this is how I learn that Brett Easton Ellis has a podcast. I'm going to do my best to forget that information.

While arguing over the subtle distinctions between salty yeast products is what social media is for, I'm going to restrain myself from yelling about Marmite and instead just strongly recommend trying a peanut butter, seaweed, and Marmite and/or Vegemite sandwich.

No. No they didn't. You seem to be in the throes of your own personal dark ages.

I mean, most people would interpret "Fake history hunter" as a site looking for and calling out instances of pseudohistory, not a site actively promulgating pseudohistory itself. But then again, most historians would avoid the usage of "dark ages," so here we are.

When the term was initially used, it simply referred to a period for which little information was available. Which is no longer really the case.

So is late antiquity considered to end around 500 CE, then? Or does it partially overlap with the first few centuries of the early middle ages? Or is it another term to retire?

And it's somewhat ironic that, if we manage supplies carefully, the flesh of the rich would end up being a luxury product affordable only by the wealthy.

The thing about the rich as a food source is that it's not sustainable. I did some back of the envelope calculations a while back and, if we go all out on the option, with 1 million people in the US chowing down each day, supplies of the wealthy will run short after about a year.

And that's why the 1989 reissue of their debut, which ends with "Fool's Gold," will always be the canonical version in my head.
