@bloodravenakgae I love that the last line is "history will remember us as wives". Then I look back to every start of chapter quote with Irulan and I'm thinking are you sure about that.

also it’s so fascinating that irulan, who desperately wanted to be mother to paul’s heirs and is denied this then monopolizes the myth-making around paul by writing all these books. she wove her chosen narrative into his legacy & made sure she was remembered

@LudwigNverMises The difference is America is not Germany. Absolute different outcomes would come about.

“The fall of the Weimar Republic birthed the Nazis.”
Ya they know, that’s their plan
The groypers aren’t totally historically ignorant about the impact of accelerationism
The problem is they like it
Emerald Apple@AI_EmeraldApple
Accelerationism... "hasten the collapse for a glorious rebirth" is a moronic toddler level mentality of delusional, historically ignorant thinking. >Rome collapsed and never came back. >Sparta became irrelevant after 2 generations and was dissolved. >The fall of the Weimar Republic birthed the Nazis. >The french revolution led to the old regime's fall, guillotines, and 20+ years of war. >Russian empire collapse, then the bolshevik revolution and Stalin's famines. >Mao led revolution in China that led to the deaths of tens of millions. >The fall of the old powers in Japan birthed imperial Japan, with overreach that led to its collapse. >The end of the Ottoman Empire led to massive balkanization, and the Arab Middle East fractured into states with endless conflicts, instability, even today, with the Iran war. If America falls, there will be no global hegemon, and China will become the next superpower as we follow the UK's track to become an irrelevant power, with no benevolent power to lean on. China will lock down Taiwan and the entire indo pacific, belt and road will spread, and China's authoritarian model will become the global new normal. There will be no "rebirth" of america and we will be speaking mandarin until China collapses and a new power takes its place.

@MentzerOcean @SNE72420886 You can say that about literally anything.

@SNE72420886 I don't think the vast majority of people will, but you know a few dudes try.

A distinction here:
Asking someone out during Mass, in Holy Hour, in the Confessional line, etc. is inappropriate.
But, asking someone out in the lobby, parking lot, parish hall, etc. after such liturgical events is good & should be encouraged. You already know that you agree on religion.

@Matchstick786 @nonregemesse Tell that to John Hunyadi, Skanderbeg or Dracula

Bad history.
The crusades did not save Europe or western civilisation. The first crusade was about Anatolia and subsequent Levantine crusades were about bolstering and defending newly acquired territories.
They also weren’t a response to the Islamic expansion in the 7th century, but, again, to the situation in Anatolia.

@Akumabat Well Joker's going to need to fund his Giant props, hideouts, and army of criminals.
English
One of the few Jokers who cared about money
Most likely because he was a gangster before going crazy
mitsuri@0xmitsurii
Even Joker had to pay $137 Million in taxes to save him from IRS 😂

@Jimmy101jr @Parzival_jay It's one of the least bad concepts but the way they did it was awful. I think it also works better with non split goggles like with a lot of Jesse Quicks costumes.

@Matchstick786 @Parzival_jay I do like the yellow lenses though so theres that lmao

They really sat there and didn’t think for a second “yeah let’s just do a justice league game instead “

@Kamuiis_tail So having only seen the movie but if the plot contains the same broad strokes wouldnt the Nightingale only fight in space. If so then be as weirdly proportioned as you want. Its space your shape is not weighed down by gravity.

@nonregemesse Alfred story is one that beings me to tears. The sheer emotion in it. It is beautiful.

@Caps_Nut @ChristianHeiens I don't care what you think would happen.
English
@Matchstick786 @ChristianHeiens So the next GOP Leader can fail to kill the filibuster?
Keep up the good work!
English
"We can't nuke the filibuster to pass the SAVE Act, think about what the Democrats will do the next time they're in power!"
"Well, what do you think they'll do?"
"They're going to nuke the filibuster and pass whatever they want."
Leading Report@LeadingReport
BREAKING: Senate Leader John Thune says the Democrats may nuke the filibuster when they re-take power.

@DAKKADAKKA1 Seems to me just to be a reference. I wouldn't worry about it.

>make fun of a shitty casting choice intentionally made to “challenge beauty standards”
>your being cruel
Ok buddeee

@nonregemesse If the director changes it to be some big reveal in the middle of the story then I can see them caring and him getting crap for it. But if its kept frontloaded like in the book they wont care.
English
@nonregemesse I guess my point is audiances will not care at all about a spoiler if its frontloaded ten pages into a book. They just wont.
English
Not really a tease, is it?
It’s a full blown spoilers for non-book readers

Denis Villeneuve teases the resurrection of Jason Momoa’s Duncan Idaho in #DunePartThree: “He comes back just at the right moment in the story. And it’s a very important comeback. Paul is struggling with his identity, and having that kind of strong Atreides figure coming back from the past will have a tremendous impact.” variety.com/2026/film/news…

@ShitpostRock2 It does not matter how realistic Ada not ending up with Leon is, We had 28 years of game after game of Ada being the only consistant romance for Leon. If you don't have them together by the end of the buildup its bad writing.
English
“comes from nothing but misogyny”
If you geniuenly think a woman like Ada who spent 30 years leading Leon on would simply ''settle down'' you missed the entire point of her character
👹 Hafez Wayne 🦇@From_House_of_L
Not being able to associate Ada with home and peaceful moments comes from nothing but misogyny because how come a mercenary and a spy finding peace is something harder to imagine than a DSO agent, who dedicated his life to combatting bioterrorism, finding that same peace? #Re9

@kangminlee As a white guy honestly this is really amusing. Now I wouldnt touch any of these nutcases with a ten foot pool but it is still amusing.
