there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

Which is different from β€œnormal” chocolate which is harvested by child and/or slave labor.

We could always try to do something effective about the hundreds of thousands of guns per year sent to Mex from USA. Or help Americans with their addictions to dry up demand……nah, let’s blow shit up and kill people.

We struggle with this all the time in museums, but differently. And it all comes down to a careful balance of objectives/goals, intended audience, content, medium etc. There is no one answer or strategy.

Irrational pet peeve: Using the word 'decimate" to mean anything but "kill one of every ten people."

That chyron makes no sense unless we are in the process of killing over 9 million people.

Calude code?

More like Claude Rains, amirite?

I was thinking the same thing about the 1953 coup that overthrew Mossadegh. The blow back still sucks.

If they insist on calling the DoD the Department of War, I insist they start referring to these companies "War Contractors."

Fun fact: The Iranian Revolution that installed Khomeini was closer in time to the CIA backed overthrow of Mossadegh and the installation of the Shah than it is to now.

If Iran has been an imminent threat to the US for 47 years, the US has been an imminent threat to Iran for at least 73 years.

What does this imply for those of us who are not Christian, and who labor under the assumption that we're protected by the First Amendment?

Not to get all historian on people, but we’re at Crusades 9.2x by now. Depending on how you count.

As Groucho Marx once saidm, I would never follow a person who would choose to follow me. Their standards are way to low.

That fact wasn't very fun at all.

I had four different grandpas at one point. They were a farmer, an RV salesman, another farmer, a salesman, at least one wife beater, one child abuser, three adulterers, and one klansman that I know of.

There are few American traditions that are older and more continously observed than stiffing veterans of war once the war is over.

Burned Sardis. Maybe they bruned it too. I wasn't there.

Even before that when Athens supported a proxy war during the Ionian revolt and bruned Sardis.

And then Xerxes sacked Athens TWICE.

Lots of FAing and FOing here.

Wow, your PhD advisor talked to you? And gave constructive advice?

If we have been at war for 50 years, IRan-Contra was less about corruption and more about Treason.
