Nice

How can you simply learn about a fact that doesn’t effect your life and just move on!? Get angry, be horrified, buy a weirdly long picket sign and go to every pride parade to express your discomfort and let it putrefy into a deeper bigotry

You can’t trust those stats! My cousin’s friends sister is a nurse and she said…

God damn. Thank you. I was so confused why people were so interested in a crispy chicken sandwich.

As a robot, finding bikes in pictures is really hard, okay

He was the US secretary of state in the 1970s who finally died today after far too long living free. The 3 page rolling stone article is about as quickly as somebody could summarize his more notable war crimes. Admittedly the article is pretty biased, but also fuck hearing the other side of the story about a man responsible for so much death and pain.

Tldr: he extended the Vietnam war for about 5 years because it benefited him personally, he convinced Nixon to bomb Cambodia and laos which were not involved in any combat with us, he was involved in the coups that overthrew the democraticly elected governments of Peru and Argentina, he encouraged the use of nuclear bombs in battle on numerous occasions, and that’s just for starts. The rolling stone article claims he is indirecty responsible for about 4 million deaths. They don’t list the directly responsible number, but its likely in the one million range.

Somehow that’s way more gross than butt nuggets

That always goes well, I’ll make the Kickstarter!

I’d always heard that it was because the ancient sumarrians thought there were 360 days in a year combined with the fact that their holy number was 60 so it divided cleanly.

Those who don’t write history to drive are destined to repeat it.

It should about right, but the French revolution was generally speaking not about income inequality. The women’s march on Versailles is the most economic influenced part of the revolution that I can think of. That was primarily about not having enough food.

The parts of the revolution that we like to think of as being “the” revolution were mostly about getting basic human rights. The two most important treaties were “the rights of man” which is about… well, the rights of man, and “what is the third estate” which is about the importance of the peasant classes to the nation and their lack of political power in relation to it.

As for the major events: The storming of the Bastille was about political prisoners (ironically there were none in the Bastille at the time). The tennis court oath was about voting by head rather than by acre. The sans culottes, the girondins, and the mountain were all about giving the people more of a voice. The murder of Louie was a direct response to the flight to varennes, and the terror was just the mountain losing it’s grasp on political control and doing whatever it took to keep it. Even the guillotine itself was designed to give peasant criminals a clean death. Before it was invented nobles would be put to the sword but peasants would be hanged.

Everything I’ve just said is personal opinion, but my source for all of it is season 3 of Revolutions by Mike Duncan

I like it in light powder, in sticky snow, that’s a hard pass.

No my lord Aragon, we are fucked.
