Mediocre fan writer, lapsed historian, occasional bureaucrat. Reply guy on Swedish Bluesky.
One should never think age stops you from doing anything. Oates was born before WWII and yet is the most savage poaster in the history of man.

Something worth noting: Rockstar is leaning HEAVILY on the excuse that the unionising employees were "leaking private company information" They want people to assume this means game info or assets. But I will bet you CASH MONEY this translates to: 'they were comparing salaries and work contracts"

I was thinking earlier that you could do a tremendous Predator movie where the protagonists are a Viet Cong patrol and the Predator to some degree represents their experience of US militaryβs combination of arrogance, superior firepower and technology, and ability to inflict terror.

Federation colonial policy is based on thinly veiled manifest destiny and carried out through in the best case benign neglect from the Federation government.

There is something patently absurd in all the moaning about EU unity as a contrast to America when we are now in week 5 of a US government shutdown that increasingly looks permanent

I mean, Yasser Arafat was also a Nobel Laureate. So was Aung san Suu Kyi, who went on to run cover for Myanmar's violence against the Rohingya. Hell, in '73 they gave the prize to Henry Kissinger. So, you know, it's a little hit-or-miss.

My take is that while the Shire is obviously Britain with its meadows, ales, breakfasts and teatimes, Mordor, with its smog, industrialization, imperialism (including of peoples that seem African and Middle Eastern) is also Britain.

It's incredibly normal to feel uncomfortable being near people who are different from you. And your job as a human being is to feel a little ashamed of that, grow the fuck up, and get over it.

A deadly history haunts this imperiled California lighthouse. Here's why fans want to save it
Restoring California's St. George Reef Lighthouse will cost at least $10 million and helicopter access. It's a race against time -- and rising seas.

While the question of what language to speak in Ireland is a question for no one but the Irish I hope they understand how much bullshit they could avoid by making the switch fully to Gaelic.

There's a strange hopefulness from historians that historical figures they adore would have agreed with them politically were they born in another time, but this is just wild projection and a useless hypothetical. Who's to say they were merely a product of their time & wouldn't be ICE agents today?
