Everything these pigs say about classic music is purely based on vibes while feeding off slop. Can't tell the difference between good amateurs and top level professionals, don't know where the top level musicians come from and how they are trained, because these shitheads know nothing.

These so-called "defenders of the Western Civilization" wouldn't even know what Western Civ is even if it hit them in their face, and nowhere is this more evident than classical music where these ignorant pigs know nothing about how anything works in classical music.

On Saturday, I went to Best Buy where they were hosting their Pokémon 30th Celebration Event. There was supposed to be Trade & Play activities, but at least at the location I visited was much subdued. #Pokemon #PokemonTCG #Pokemon30 #BestBuy 🧵1/4

On Sunday noon, I gave a try at Target to get a spot in the Pokémon 30th Celebration Event. I unfortunately did not make the hundredth-place cut. #Pokemon #PokemonTCG #Pokemon30 #Target 🧵1/7

Leopardo, designed by Alexandre Bassi, draws inspiration from rich chancery models created by writing masters of the 16th and 17th centuries, offering a boldly contemporary interpretation. www.205.tf/leopardo

I have a day job, campaigns to help get over the line in November, ongoing renovations to my house, a child due in October, and we just had a baby shower today. It went great! But I have enough to do already without wasting time on the self-defeating nonsense permeating this place.

This has been an ongoing morass and I've largely been off here for the last week because there's nothing to be done about it. A lot of people are determined to sink and don't want a hand out of the water or even the suggestion that they just try swimming themselves.

Though I have issues with some of her sourcing, Shuyun's THE LONG MARCH is good on that experience. I'm going to Salisbury's older book on the subject in the future.

The Communists were on the run, starving, under constant attack, and had just finish a series of retreats through the most rural parts of China and Tibet. Without Japan, there wouldn't be an idea of creating the 2nd United Front, Xueliang wouldn't have held him at gun point etc etc.

Okay, gonna have to explain this. This was less of a thank you for the rape of Nanking and more of acknowledgement of how Japan's actions lead to the Communists winning in the end.

While history is on the brain, I have a soft spot for books that go into their sources of knowledge. For example, Wood's THE STORY OF CHINA explaining how recent discovieries of bamboo shoots (they were written on) sheds light on the Zhou Dynasty.

Given the current Qing discourse I am reminded of the fact that people don't realise how normalized violence was under the Qing.

In fairness, if you're the Yuan and Ming Dynasties you do get a lot of dragon sightings alongside this, which is somewhat exciting. Unfortunately the last dragon died sometime around 1905, when the last stocks of Vis required to sustain the existence of magical were plundered by greedy Hermetics.

So say I, a fool, were to add to the number of games I'm trying to run by running an Ars Magica game set in Constantinople circa 1220, what would be some good background reading? Thinking of history, society, politics, religion, and folklore.

Former Senator Jon Kyl has passed away at eighty-four years old, his family announced this morning. With only another Arizonan, he was the last living senator born in the era of the Second World War. 🧵1/12

I'll always remember my English teacher, Eugene Boyle, the anger he had as he said this was an act of "cowardice" at the start of class. But he was a veteran of the 1989 US intervention in Panama and also had words that military responses are not to be taken lightly. America should have listened.

Eventually the school day had to go on and the TV's turned off. But later in English class we turned one back on to watch continuing coverage.... until Channel One News ran at its scheduled time, preempting the coverage with pre-recorded news from a world before the attack happened. It was surreal.

It wasn't clear yet if the disaster we saw unfolding was an accident or not, but it was horrifying, and we all knew we were watching a turning point in history happen in real time on these small CRT's, especially as it became clear it was no accident. It was insane.
