I found Mike Duncan's "The Storm Before the Storm" to be a particularly interesting book to read on the subject of Marius and Sulla (and all the rest of the early collapsing Roman Republic), in case anyone is interested.

The Late Bronze Age collapse plunged the Eastern Mediterranean and Near East into a period of chaos and starvation, but 300 hundred years later, the region emerged stronger and more prosperous than ever. Could the same thing happen here in the United States?

weird how the guy born into obscene wealth, bailed out repeatedly, allowed to fail upwards forever until he fell ass-backwards into the presidency, and then was declared by the Supreme Court to be a Very Special Boy Who Can Crime Forever never stops whining about how everything is rigged against him

holy shit a guy who was born in Uganda listed himself as African American on an old college application this is certainly bigger news than the concentration camp in Florida
You know, when I heard that all of our personal data had been hacked, I didn't expect the first major use of it to be the NYT trying to fuck over Zohran but maybe I'm naive www.nytimes.com/2025/07/03/n...

I wonder if Natalie Portman likes portmanteaus or if that's just what's at the end of her feet

NYT on a roll today, lol.

Conservatives vs liberals isn’t Edmund Burke vs Thomas Paine. Republicans believe things that are FALSE - vaccines cause autism, climate change is fake, the 2020 election was rigged. Universities should not teach students false things, or hire professors that will!
Now is exactly THE WRONG TIME, NYT, to run the "Well, actually, maybe colleges were too woke" op-ed. What the hell is wrong with you?🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

This is an all-hands-on-deck moment to defend free speech -- anything else is Quisling capitulation www.nytimes.com/2025/03/29/o...

Got mythic in timeless on MTG Arena with boros burn today! I was as surprised as anyone that this deck is functional in a format with channel and unnerfed energy cards. I'm experimenting now with creatureless burn strategies since I sided out kumano and swiftie a ton, plus eidolon was also bad.

The story "I have no mouth, and I must scream" implies the existence of lacking orifices and needing to do things with them.

In today's video essay, I will go over the concept of "I have no butthole and I must shit" and "I have no nostrils and I must sneeze"

To get political, one thing that has bothered me about RFK Jr having a role in the trump admin is that it was literally quid pro quo. In functional democracies if you tell an opponent to drop out and promise them a position in your admin, it's illegal. 1/2
