Isabella is the only leader who doesn't like me and it's because she built Seville on this tiny island off my coast and now she's mad our borders are touching and my capital's too close are you for fucking real lady

A screenshot from Civilisation 7 showing the centre of power for Himiko's civilisation with three huge well established cities and a single Spanish settlement with 2 population just off the coast. The negative relationship modifiers between Himiko and Isabella include -10 for borders touching and -20 for "settled too close to another civilisation's capital"

loaded up civ 7 again and regret to discover that genghis khan of mongolia is in the game. luckily he likes leaders who have not many cavalry because my military is for shit, I have not a single horse to my name.

I just remembered that Scary Interesting did a video about the Hinterkaifeck murders recently using his standard intro with a line about it being one of the most disturbing things to happen in Germany and people in the comments were like "my good sir"

her sheets are going to strangle her now. or more likely she'll have a dream and it will be so shocking that she'll draw in a surprised breath right as her pillow gives out and all the stuffing will go into her throat. /j

good excuse to bring her snackies and flowers in bed though (if she likes)

the family in this c-drama has two girls who are cousins basically the same age and when people meet the main character they're always like "yeah I knew which one you are because everyone talks about how well-behaved the other one is"

the Young Master has been informed that "people are starting to talk in your behind", according to the subtitles.

the left have always been shitty at voting for local elections. right wingers know how important those positions are.

I think it's probably a combination of both. He wants it to be true and all his advisors will show and tell him complete lies both because it suits their agenda and because they know that's what he wants to hear. They're all parasites feeding off each other.

Just had an absolutely bonkers session in Civ 7 playing Himiko of the Silla. Managed to hit just *slightly* short of 250 science by the end of the antiquity era. Going into exploration age as the Ming with 3500 gold in the treasury.

the more work I do on recognising the extent of brain damage I've suffered the more no one will ever convince me that covid didn't contribute to this

This is as good and urgent as others have been saying. I don't think it's possible to sustain anything resembling mass democracy in a post-literate society. musgrave.substack.com/p/a-post-lit...

A Post-Literate Society is a Too-Literal Society

Directness is a virtue and subtlety is lost
