Is this supposed to be some kind of sick joke?

Very disingenuous map because what makes America have the best geography in the world is that no where really is landlocked
Vintage Maps@vintagemapstore
Landlocked states, provinces and territories of North America

@HellenicEchoes What is up between you guys and the Macedonians?

@JadeAtrophis Is it not the best Star Wars Disney has put out? Mando 1&2 is really the only other contender, but even then S3 kinda blew it.

You guys have a serious problem where you think Andor is way better than it actually is lmao
Like cool your jets Mr "one of the most remarkable TV series ever made about anything"
Marc Burrows@20thcenturymarc
TIL that the worst bits of Star Wars fandom have decided they hate Andor, one of the most remarkable TV series ever made about anything, because it didn’t spend its TV-level budget on CG locations that would have looked dated in five years anyway.

@Purpura57912934 I want to like Manuel but I really see the true fall of the Romans beginning at his reign. Before his reign and the aftermath of his death, recovery was very much possible.
English
Manzikert became Manzikert only at Myriokephalon, and Myriokephalon became Myriokephalon only when the Emperor died soon afterward, before his second attempt.
If you know the answer to this riddle without looking anything up, you know your medieval Roman history in general and the biography of the last Roman Emperor who truly deserves the title Great in particular.
Congratulations, you have read well.

@alexxozydu I wish he gave 10 more years to the empire before dying, and then also maybe we wouldn't have had the supremely ambitious but generally incompetent(?) Manuel

@truthandto65884 @lefineder @345warzo46 I believe there were many established veteran colonies, or colonies in general, prior to that time

@lefineder @345warzo46 Were there lots of Romans in N Africa at the time or is that more of a 4th century thing?

Origin of the Roman troops stationed in Egypt based on surviving papyri and other records.
English
@lefineder The former territories of the Greek kingdoms of Egypt and the Seleucids are interesting in that they never seemed to be significant sources of troops yet the areas supported empires that lasted centuries. I also remember being dumbfounded that Egypt provided zero emperors of Rome

@mikusingularity I've heard precisely 2 arguments from left leaning folks for why they're against colonizing mars. 1 being that we should commit those resources & funds to making Earth better first, and second is the extremely nihilistic belief that we should allow Humanity to die out
English
I am a center-left liberal who doesn’t like Musk’s other political views, and yet I still think we should colonize Mars.
Peter Hague@peterrhague
The issue of Mars colonisation (or space colonisation in general, if we don't want to get into the planet/habitat debate between space advocates) is surprisingly one of the key dividing lines in present day politics. You can reliably predict someones opinion on it by which party they vote for, by how they feel about Elon Musk as a person, or by their level of optimism/pessimism about technology. There is almost total correlation on believing it is a good/bad idea from a technical perspective and thinking it is desirable/undesirable from a political perspective. Everyone seems to be quite sure that the laws of physics vindicate their opinions on this matter. Its not surprise I'm in the "let's go" faction. But I am increasingly of the view that even beyond the issue of Mars, that faction must win, or else Earth as well will be sunk into the mire of degrowth, envy politics, and misery.

I miss Kate so badly that I physically hurt.
It's been a week since we were together. She's still in Australia sorting her visa.
I feel more stressed. My emotions are stunted. My thoughts are cloudy and my mood has dipped.
It just hurts everywhere.

I think this is the beauty of the United States, that we citizens take for granted.
You can make a video of this anywhere with any state, expect Oklahoma, and witness pure beauty in nature

Hilarious how this fake poster for The Force Awakens from 2014 when the only information that we had about Episode VII was its cast is still unironically one of the most legendary fan-made posters ever.

@InThePines1999 @Jason2bartlett @visegrad24 The Labour Party have a large majority and so Starmer simply orders them to vote for him. It’s happened already.
