I mean I get an email every day from Kathy Hochul warning about how MAGA is going to rule New York forever with an iron fist unless I send her $5, so I don't take these fundraising appeals too literally.

In general Paradox is actually kind of bad at simulating history (in part because real history is very complicated and very contingent), but the systems it designs tend to behave unpredictably, so when they want an outcome they have to design a narrative to railroad something one way or another.

While I'm enjoying the humiliation justifiably being heaped on Senator Eric Schmitt, I don't don't think enough mockery is being directed at his accomplice, Senator Kennedy, the Cornpone Clown, with this stupidly victorious expression as he smugly holds up the ridiculous "evidence."

a few years ago, references to Simon of Trent or Leo Frank trutherism were a sign that someone was an intensely Christian and/or Neo-Nazi right-wing antisemite but now formerly-normal lefty politics influencers who stayed on Twitter casually reply to Mamdani with 15th century blood libel posts

In complete fairness this isn't exactly an uncommon notion in the Christian worldview; the fall of Jerusalem to Sharvaraz in 614 is attributed in a few chronicles to the sins of the Roman/Christian people, particularly the deaths of Maurice and his sons.

I'm honestly fine with destroying the Ivies, especially how quick many were to capitulate to Trump early on. They're rancid seeds of reaction and, evidently, rape that would deserve to be crushed under heel (i.e., either closed or seized and turned into new institutions).

The camera cut to Katie Britt right after Eric Schmitt’s attack on Jack Smith turned out to be bogus. Schmitt claimed Jack Smith attended an Atlanta Hawks game in Atlanta. However, the texts were actually about the Iowa Hawkeyes playing Maryland in Maryland.

I think this is also one of the dangers of the "professor-as-poster" disposition we see fairly often. Frankopan and Sarris certainly should know better than this, especially uncritically repeating the story about Basil II. But no they're now mostly reactionary influencers first, scholars second.

Yup, absolutely. I think it’s wrong to treat the Iran War as simply one bad error that happened to the Trump Admin rather than the entirely logical consequence of the way it operates. If it wasn’t Iran, it would almost certainly have been something else

I always thought Clark Kent would be obnoxiously liberal. It's not that he grew up on a farm but that he left it, specifically to work in mainstream media in a big city. Every Thanksgiving ends up with a shouting match about politics with Pa, always bringing up his rural bona fides to win arguments.

"Kaloyan's grave" is an even funnier situation. They just found a body with a ring that had the name Kaloyan on it (as if that's not a common name, and the ring was clearly a century later, at least) and decided they'd found the 13th century Tsar.

It's astonishing to find a modern writer whose views on sex and rape would not be out of place in Roman Republican comedy. Honestly it's entirely possible Plautus would be giving this view some side-eye.

Yes, Thiel said, perking up. "There are all these ways where trying to live unnaturally long goes haywire" in Tolkien's works. But you also have the elves. "And then there are sort of all these questions, you know: How are the elves different from the humans in Tolkien?
And they're basically - I think the main difference is just, they're humans that don't die."
"Why can't we be elves?" he said.
