also always deeply funny that every sci-fi video game from 1999-2014 was trying to be Aliens, and copied everything except the...working class woman protagonist
Everyone imitates Tolkien all the time except when it comes to the one way it would really matter: making the protagonist of your novel for children a short, fat, 50-year-old man who doesn't want to do anything.

The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

This is such a specific trope to be a fan of but I’m such a sucker for “there’s an organization of people you have to take out, now go take them out one by one” as a story structure. Love when there’s a group of evil guys you have to cross off a list

The best American flag is the battle flag of Tecumseh Sherman’s 23rd Corps, made from the tattered remains of Confederate banners.

If wealth was steps, everyone you have ever met is on the first or second step. Your wealthy aunt, that unhoused person, you - the same two steps. King of England? About the 8th step. The likes of Bezos? Their step is at the International Space Station.
In sociology, a recurring methodological problem encountered by those trying to study the very rich is that their domains of existence are so far removed from the experiences of ordinary people that the researchers, before they even start, have to fundamentally reshape their social ontologies
When we talk about "taxing rich people" there's folks who think we're talking about Aunt Edna who has the second summer home. The astronomical levels of "rich" that now exist are almost unfathomable to people. It's the stuff of vast empirical dynasties. We're talking about taxing emperors.

I love being in my late 30s so much. I love not giving a shit about being famous or successful anymore. I love prioritizing being comfortable, and being around people who love me.
Could do without the aching joints and looming perimenopause, but everything else? Golden.

Trump's mechanism to pay the troops during the shutdown is by far the most illegal budgetary action he's taken as POTUS, potentially setting the stage to break everything.
It's also needless because Congress would easily pass a troop pay bill if Johnson were willing to gavel in.
Long thread.

i know i tend to have a pretty harsh line on political and historical literacy but if you think the primary cause of conflict in the near and middle east is religion rather than much more modern, material political forces, you're a world-class dumbshit and should reconsider that perspective
