Yes, very similar to a predynastic Egyptian bowl with feet (a few toes missing) which I saw at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo! 😍

The point is that David French sees what he wants to see. And only has the courage of his convictions for the stuff that already fits into his moral compliance. Anything outside of it is anathema

David French will tell you how much he hates the Iranian regime. And he will cite the human wave attacks during the Iran Iraq war as proof the iran govt cares nothing for its ppl As if the American govt didn’t send 19 year-old boys up the same freaking hill in Vietnam in 66, 67, 68, 69, 70 and 71

The rise and temperatures are leading to more shirtless dudes at the beach, which is definitely making more ppl feel feelings conservatives dont want them to feel. Really, honesty, why has no one done a birdcage-esque book or musical based on fire Island. It’s right off the cost of Long Island!

But at least that one trans girl in west virginia cant run cross country in junior also, nowhere else can you have CEO fire 30,000 employees, make $40mill when they get fired, then run for president on their business ability bc the stock price went up.

They never leave Bates to come to community college I never go back to adjuncting at three different places. They always end up on water Street overlooking the bridge in brklyn They never even join a local paper with a circulation of 1800. No, they get a book deal and write for the New Yorker.

They also never leave Yale or Bates or Stanford and move to rural Quebec. Or a town of 300 people in southern Mississippi. They always end up in Brooklyn or one of the canyons in LA. And there’s always an apt on water st. And photos from amagansett but labeled “Montauk” for the blue collar cred

I think it’s a problem of ppl not wanting to be who they are. Clearly many of these essay writers want to be rock stars or hemingway bc they never leave Bates to go to a community college. They leave Bates for Simon and Schuster. The essays are never written by anybody with five+ preps a semester

I’m pretty sure the “it was an accident” was not an accident. They wanted to be able to hack things. At the very least to see if they could do it. At second to boost the stock price, look at how powerful our tools are, wink, wink, and it worse no one even finds out

Why is the mayor of an american city asked more foreign policy questions that the president of the usa? When was the last time the nytimes hounded jared who is literally negotiating treaties? They know the mayor doesnt control foreign policy, foreign aid, nor the military. Right? Right?

It was so major that Reagan dropped taxes so low he had to raise them again. So, he spent a lot of money on stuff they couldn’t use. And paid for it with a whole lot of debt you’re still paying for. How is that universal healthcare treating you? And cheap college education? Or ubi?

But this is always been true. From the beginnings of industrialization americans looked at the bad conditions and low pay and said “nope” and invested in higher education/income positions. Meanwhile, in inexhaustible supply of labor from Europe had their bodies broken by us factory work

Four of the six justices apparently don’t think Irish or Italians should be Americans since we all got here by being born to people who just showed up. They’re both in there. And there’s a long history of Europeans coming to the US, make money, have kids, go back to Europe and then come back

Paul kennedy had this dynamic in 1985. The more money you spend on the military the less secure you actually are. And our army is completely useless at fighting wars of occupation in support of corrupt local govts (vietnam/iraq/afghanistan)

Conservatives be like “the government can’t do anything” and then worship Reagan, who tripled the military budget. You know, the military that’s run by the government. The military that currently spends $1 trillion but somehow thats “good govt” but universal healthcare is “stalin 1949”

Conservatives always be like “the Stalinist on the left!” all I want is universal healthcare, like every other industrialized country has, and a living wage - you know like grandpa had. Funded libraries + schools But conservatives say “if you tax the rich even 1% more we’ll be 1% 1936 Russia!”

Universities 800 years old in the West. And the complaint that the poors keep going to it or just as old. Universities have always been elite networking institutions creating a new generation to lead society. Not apprenticeships. Oxbridge has never taught blacksmithing or roof thatching.

An afrikaaner who grew up at the end of apartheid and fled the coming of a black govt killing 10,000,000 black africans should be a bigger story. Its the colonial genocide no one is talking abt in polite society (even this headline doesnt connect the colonialism to the action)

But if he’s yelling at liberal educated women. then large parts of the country seems to be perfectly fine with it. Chris Christie loved yelling on camera as female educators. He never yelled at a male lawyer or bank executive the way he yelled in public at a fourth grade teacher.

My dissertation makes that argument about the Swedish army in the 17th century. Because the peasantry was part of the Parliamentary system unlike anywhere else, the Swedish kings had legitimacy in their foreign policy, almost no one else had. Even punishment was horizontal rather than vertical.

Russia could never use its manlower advantage because it could never draft men for the war. This is why dictators are incredibly weak and republics, which look unstable, are actually incredibly strong.

Historically. Most great empires last abt 300 years before they break apart into pieces or completely change their mode. 250 years is a good run of expansion and empire.
