It's really funny that The Art of War is treated as this like alpha male book when it's clearly meant to be read by ancient Chinese failsons because it's all "please don't forget you have to feed your troops" and "if someone asks if you're going to attack them consider lying about it"

an ex was a field archaeologist and her job consisted of sitting in the shade at construction sites for 8 hrs while workers hollered at her inappropriately until they found something in the ground and she would walk over and touch it with her tongue and say "this is a rock" and go back to the shade.

And then there were none: Australia’s only shrew declared extinct

The tally of Australian mammals extinct since 1788 is now 39 species – far more than for any other country It’s official: the only Australian shrew is no more. The latest edition of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature’s Red List, the world’s most comprehensive global inventory on extinction risk, has declared the Christmas Island shrew is extinct. This little animal is extremely common all over the island, and at night its shrill shriek, like the cry of a bat, can be heard on all sides. Continue reading...

The idea that this would be less wrong if the victim were a non-citizen or a non-veteran played a large part in creating the present disaster.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.
