Clausewitz's Force ghost in the beyond as every theory after his collapses.

I always thought it was crap, I just didn't expect it to be *this* crap

I got paid millions of dollars to be an athlete in a locker room full of superhumans and this is flat out unreal. Wtf indeed.

so you should just know, if Indiana can win a national title, there's no reason for you to not have hope about...well, everything and anything

Did I make too many totchoes? Almost certainly. But Mom didn't raise a quitter.

for the first time in almost 40 years of my life, the Coast Guard gets the pre-game flyover and THEY DON'T SHOW THE GODDAMN HELOS

thinking about how, in the Russian history elective I took in HS, every time a tsar was facing domestic weakness the teacher would turn to the assembled students and ask "so what is it time for?" and we would chant "stunning territorial annexation!" and she would respond "well, DUH, girls"

the EU could collapse the American entertainment industry by simply withholding the Skarsgards until Trump is deposed

Used my day off to go see No Other Choice and it was a solid decision.

looks like my favorite movie theater may finally be getting reclining seats, in which case I'm going to need to forward all my mail

I know it might be uncomfortable for some on the left but as a strategy we could do a lot worse than to flip the script on these guys ask them the question they've asked us our whole lives: Why do you hate the United States?

CIA officer Hal Ford in 1984 on the challenges facing writers of intelligence estimates. Note the comment about Henry Kissinger.

Probably the most precise moment we’ve ever been able to collectively pinpoint from the other side of the world that a Pope is cussing

FUCK [derogatory]

My boyfriend and I both screamed a real scream like someone had been shot, but positive

For those of you wondering what the sportsball exclamations were about:

You give the Bears one Pope and he cashes in this hard? Insanity.

WHAT WAS THAT THROW WHAT WAS THAT #BearDown

i am hanging on by a fucking thread here, you cannot hit me with Jim Cornelison doing the anthem

Nuanced take: I think it's really important to give *normal citizens* who supported Trump and off-ramp and *professional writers, pundits and politicians* who supported Trump should have to wear it like a scarlet letter for the rest of their lives

tfw your round one opponent is the prettiest guy you've seen in your LGS in years and he's wearing a wedding ring 😭

"They had an 'idiot' [baka] size so I ordered it and, true to word, received an idiotic serving of rice"

people in NYC love being like "ugh dating in NYC is so hard because there's too many options" but being back in Oklahoma I'm like "OH NO, IS IT? IS IT SOOO HARD?? :'(("

I am Abigail the White and I come to you now at the turning of the tide.

damn what is wrong with me, i am having the hardest time concentrating on work, i lament as i compulsively refresh live feeds of unspeakable horrors

I am HOWLING

I’m approaching forty years of age and have been starting to get those unfamiliar pangs, that feeling that I have to reach the south pole by sled

This photo was taken in 1911 using glass plate technology by Herbert Ponting who was part of Scott's Antarctic expedition, The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance Iconic imo

This is your reminder that Hungarian-Jewish scientist George de Hevesy dissolved two Nobel Prizes in aqua regia to keep them out of the hands of the Nazis. He then left the dissolved solution on his shelf and fled to Sweden. (After the war he un-dissolved the gold and the prizes were re-cast.)

you will have to pry the millennial “lol” from my cold dead hands. i don’t know how else to express minor despair. if i didn’t say “lol” after admitting i’m a husk inside, i’d have to develop emotional resilience, and i simply don’t have time for that

“ICE agents, get out now because historically, this ends with you hanging from a lamppost and your body paraded through the streets.” - the …we rate dogs guy

me, watching Paul Atreides and Feyd-Rautha breathe each other's air while they stab each other: this that heated rivalry y'all been talking about

Watch Virginia tomorrow. A lot of this will go through. Big day ahead.

Me, reading and studying history: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!! Me, realizing I am living through a historical event: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.

(Cool classics professor turning his chair backwards before sitting in it and addressing his class) Everything we love comes from somewhere, and today we are going to look at what some call the original Heated Rivalry

heard a thud outside in the breezeway and I'm like "I'm not due any deliveries, what the fuck is that" so I go look and it's an whole entire door

#KatWatchesCR4 i'm in the closing minutes of ep 2 and Tyranny's face is fuckign KILLING ME
