Hi, I'm KingoftheU. He/Him. You may remember me from such projects as “so-so AH” and “mediocre fanfic”. #crew96 #GoBucks ↙️↙️↙️ Democracy is nonnegotiable. "The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, But in ourselves, that we are underlings."

My wife: "You still haven't told your BlueSky feed?" Me: "I'm waiting for the right moment." This was a lie, turns out I was waiting for the wrong moment.

Concept: Klingons who get ahold of Tolkien really really vibe the Elves. Long lived warrior-poets facing the rise of man? Epic battles over honor and trinkets? Absolutely Klingons translating shit into Quenya and Sindarin.

Go to any statehouse in America and you will find statues of whoever happened to be prominent in the statehouse when they built the thing regardless of how important they are now.

Most universities in the country have some sort of formal investigation/discipline process for student orgs independent of individuals and this exists solely because of the Greek life system.

This BTW is why I sometimes joke about a Soviet 'liberation' of France in 1945 leading to the execution of Ho Chi Minh for 'bourgeious nationalist deviationism' - it's actually quite easy for one group of revolutionaries to decide that no more revolutions are necessary. end thread

(Now you might accuse Thorez and other French Communists of simply being co-opted by French nationalism here but of course Moscow had its own ideas about how one should create an "unbreakable union of free republics" that all answered to one nation in particular.)

The BBC asking the big questions here...
A screenshot from the BBC livetext, reading:

It's the international break, of course, but Manchester City's next Premier League game is away at Liverpool on 11 October (16:30 BST).

Then back-to-back home games against Paris St-Germain in the Champions League on 14 October (20:00 BST) followed by Ipswich Town in the Premier League three days later.

Will City fans boo the Premier League anthem against Ipswich?

When the British were surveying the Himalayas, they, surprisingly, used local names for all of the peaks except Everest. K2 is K2 because NO ONE HAD EVER SEEN OR NAMED IT BEFORE.

Mountaineers traditionally do not fully summit Kangchenjunga (third highest mountain) out of respect for the locals who view the peak as the abode of the gods. K2 on the other hand...anyone who worships K2 needs to be locked in an asylum.

Among the other wild things about this boring perpetual take is that it’s ostensible socialists all treating billionaires as having infinitely more resources and power than government. Mike Bloomberg, Billionaire Mayor, had a bigger municipal budget than his net worth every year.

In my experience there are the people who forget the Cold War and assume Russian Aggression is made up by Big USA to sell more NATO and people who remember the Cold War and sort of assume the Russians doing anything east of the old German border is normal.
