Possum Lover @bigblobape.bsky.social · 10/10/2026i wonder how many 高祖 there actually are it's either 高祖 or 太祖 then usually a 太宗 somewhere 000
Possum Lover @bigblobape.bsky.social · 10/10/2026i think its creators were dedicated they really thought it'd work! 200
Possum Lover @bigblobape.bsky.social · 10/10/2026it's sorta interesting i think it does seem that open opposition ebbed except among catholics but otoh the laws on the books are often generations old so obv some must have been opposed 100
Possum Lover @bigblobape.bsky.social · 10/10/2026it's so bad DOGE is one of those things obviously a performative stunt which ended up prob killing a lotta ppl and also being stupid 120
Possum Lover @bigblobape.bsky.social · 09/10/2026i can see her doing something that stupid Either way I doubt Kings landing shrvives in present form In the extremely doubtful event that we get more books they’ll prob be overly long and poorly paced 110
Possum Lover @bigblobape.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I think GRRM intended for Cersei to die shortly after this 110
Possum Lover @bigblobape.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I guess I could see it W NYT tho even then I think they do tend on some things to tilt slightly liberal But that’s no wonder as it seems this reflects their leadership Obv they are not that lib 020
Possum Lover @bigblobape.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Tbf doesn’t France have fairly high taxes already? They used to struggle w relative economic unproductivity bc of various aspects of their system 120
Possum Lover @bigblobape.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Another thing is we need to tax I’m afraid that we don’t have the political will to do anything but blunder into crisis 010
Possum Lover @bigblobape.bsky.social · 09/10/2026i wonder if mil spending doesn't also need restructuring too given certain strategic needs 010
Possum Lover @bigblobape.bsky.social · 09/10/2026i guess in his defense paxton almost seems like he's criticizing trump here too - he blames both democrats and republicans for it, and everyone knows trump as president has not been very fiscally sound 000
Possum Lover @bigblobape.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Yeah Tbh as an outsider who is subjected to the race by irritating ads on NFL broadcasts I do wonder if Paxton is not at least being honest abt the issue of the deficit Spending *is* def out of control and the majority *is* def entitlements and (I think) SSA will go insolvent at some pt 210
Possum Lover @bigblobape.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Yeah I think this is the claim abt the constitutional structure—for the president to effectively exercise his duties he must not be subject to frivolous or vexatious prosecutions, or else he’d never get anything done The majority thinks this also applies to former presidents (prob wrongly) 000
Possum Lover @bigblobape.bsky.social · 08/10/2026fwiw didn’t the dissents also concede the idea of immunity for a sitting president? 110
Possum Lover @bigblobape.bsky.social · 08/10/2026You want Egypt for the grain Assuming this is realistic 010
Possum Lover @bigblobape.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Did you achieve union or did you impose what would become Eastern Orthodoxy upon the West 120
Possum Lover @bigblobape.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Perhaps the Judaean kingdom briefly attained a suzerainty over the northern kingdom? I wonder if it’s possible they understood themselves as sharing Certain common aspects like the various Hellenic states 110
Possum Lover @bigblobape.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Alas many are not nearly as good as their originals 010
Possum Lover @bigblobape.bsky.social · 07/10/2026If somehow a Palestinian unitary state forms, its democratic character, etc (could there be restrictions on Jewish worship eg the seventh step of Hebron)? or what’s more likely if Israeli control deepens will Palestinians be further marginalized and possibly forced out? 000
Possum Lover @bigblobape.bsky.social · 07/10/202610/7 comes again I really wonder what will happen when this particular conflict ends more war? terrorism? 100
Possum Lover @bigblobape.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Interesting Makes you wonder tho if it even has any layers from reputed past 110
Possum Lover @bigblobape.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Domine requiem aeternam dona Ei et lux perpetua luceat ei 020
Possum Lover @bigblobape.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I wonder whether you think the Torah is pretty ancient 110
Possum Lover @bigblobape.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Makes sense I suppose I wonder if any of those scholars are Orthodox (Jewish) 120
Possum Lover @bigblobape.bsky.social · 07/10/2026That’s interesting Is a Persian Pentateuch the consensus nowadays? 240
Possum Lover @bigblobape.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I guess in theory it’s not unfair or impossible that mil improvements could help us in such a situation if it ever arose (tho the ideal would be that we could deal peaceably w Iran) 000
Possum Lover @bigblobape.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I’ve been seeing so many of these myself for weeks every Big Noon Saturday, SNF, SEC on ABC, B1G on CBS, America’s game of the week, and MNF too fuck off with that shit I don’t live there you want I should commit voter fraud, huh? 000
Possum Lover @bigblobape.bsky.social · 06/10/2026When he argues w other jurists abt results oriented jurisprudence it seems to me he is arguing abt how law should be applied Somewhat of a thorny debate 000
Possum Lover @bigblobape.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Vermeule is a complicated figure as a result For better or worse tho he is a very good lawyer—Kagan once cited him in a dissent as among the foremost scholars of his field (administrative law) 100
Possum Lover @bigblobape.bsky.social · 05/10/2026not surprised tbh i imagine it conflicted w his sense of grandeur 110
Possum Lover @bigblobape.bsky.social · 05/10/2026myself, I’m not certain what’s going on Apparently oil flows are back to prewar levels or close? So does that mean we can defy the Iranians? Unclear Seems like no good options—as is prob fitting when you start ifiot’s war 000
Possum Lover @bigblobape.bsky.social · 05/10/2026lol maybe de Gaulle took it as a sign he needed a promotion 110
Possum Lover @bigblobape.bsky.social · 05/10/2026It works really well if she’s from the Song dynasty or smth 000
Possum Lover @bigblobape.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Tho you can’t do this w the Teen Titans bc they are teens The teenage aspect is built into the title 010
Possum Lover @bigblobape.bsky.social · 05/10/2026The X Men solved that problem by mininalizing the teen focused aspects Originally the school was a framing device for its teenage students—now the students are teachers and it’s a framing device for their grown up problems 120
Possum Lover @bigblobape.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I don’t recall but I think there may have been some plans in the 90s It’s also just hard to replace an industry w/o pain 110
