"Whether or not we supported Alaric in his campaign to sack Rome, it is now our patriotic duty to rally behind him. Alaric is now the ruler of all Romans, not just those who smear their faces with blood and smell strongly of dung."

a key take away from reading a lot of history for me:
the people who survive hard times and eventually brutally humiliate their seemingly invincible enemies are not the people whose first response to adversity is “oh well, guess I’ll die”

In the early 1970s the U.S. was averaging almost five bombings a day. I think a lot of us who didn’t live through that era take for granted the relatively low levels of political violence in the 2020s.
It does feel like we’re not that far from a return to anarchists chucking bombs into cars

“Rock bottom” and “the collapse of the system” just mean the middle and lower classes suffer and lose more. People with money and power won’t lose anything - the opposite happens. Chaos might be a ladder but YOU sure as hell ain’t climbing it. You’re getting kicked off.

A friendly reminder: paying politicians a livable wage is how we keep corruption out of politics.

“The Dems need fresh blood!” “The gerontocracy has to go!”
Cool, so you guys all canvassed and voted for young, new representatives this last election, right? Why should the entire hope for Dems rest on AOC? She’s just one person. If you want better representatives, it’s on YOU to get them.

All these weak conservative “men” out there trying to cosplay as “warrior-poets” but too insecure to embrace the “poet” part. Failures, every one.

The judge just blocked The Onion’s purchase of InfoWars
Here it is: Judge Christopher Lopez DENIES the motion approving the sale of Infowars' assets to Global Tetrahedron. Says the auction process was "doomed" the moment it was sealed, lacked transparency, had a lack of clarity about what was even purchased and money was "left on the table."

Okay girl, I know you didn’t mean it in a flirty way, so I’m just going to take it as a weird compliment and move on.
