The thing about Rome is that the Republic was sent on a downward spiral by a violent reactionary dictator and the Empire due to a wave of xenophobia.

Fuck it, restore the Safavids.

How are Ocasio-Cortez and Van Hollen fit on a bumper sticker?

He's undercover MAGA. He's gonna switch to R after he gets elected.

This is why the rich would rather have the world burn than pay a bit more. They don't even care about their own lives.

The reports of Holden Bloodfeast's death are greatly exaggerated.

Someone smarter than me probably wrote a whole book about this already, IDK.

Just came up with the elite greed theory of history, in which elites write the rules that benefit them but nonetheless provide stability. Then the elites try to get rid of the rules, thinking they hold them back, breaking the system for everyone.

The new Post not even being subtle about its new direction

Supports my "brown note" theory of Trump, that the perfect blend of his background and traits cause the American political system to shit itself, something unlikely to be replicated anytime soon.

We're basically there with so many communities only being active on Discord.

Sure, he was avuncular in the same way as President Snow from the Hunger Games.

"It's only a real war if there is a ground invasion, otherwise it's a sparkling military operation."

Increasingly seems like the Trump doctrine is to half-ass a war and hope for the best.

Excellent chapter name for anyone writing a history of this period.

We won't hear about this even a tenth as much as Benghazi.

I'm 70% confident he's undercover MAGA.

I honestly believe the Democrats should refuse to let him in the caucus if he's elected. I don't care if he'd be the 50th vote. He'd cause incalculable reputational damage.

He'd actually be a net negative in the Senate. Every time we'd call out MAGA racism they'd just point to this guy.

It's called Kaveh's standard. It has long been a symbol of Iran

There's a reason Maine rhymes with pain.

It doesn't always hold true, but it holds up generally.

It's a very pretty game. VP1 and 2 both have amazing art direction, but VP2 nails it technically as well.

Holy shit. Goes to show that being too online will eventually drive you insane, no matter how normal you start out as.

Actually, third century Rome had the exact opposite problem.

"Another 10 trillion sesterces to the army"

I have a theory that giving it to girls only at first is what caused the moral panic.

I can't think of any immigrant in American history who has assimilated worse than Musk. The guy hates most of the people here and wants to hurt us, has open contempt for our traditions or values, and has spent billions trying to destroy our culture to replace it with that of his foreign childhood.

This sort-of happened in the 2018 Florida Democratic primary and we got DeSantis as a result.

Hell yes we need a liberal cold warrior against the forces of global fascism!
