@detachment_red @rrroooiiirrr Imagine living your life never having seen a show at the Wealthy Street theater, or the BOB after a Griffins game. The light of a sunrise catching the river as you hit the S-curve, and cardboard displays rising into the night at Studio 28. Frankly I’d rather not…

@souljagoyteller Washington was one of those commanders who was good on hard to quantify intangibles. He’d lose Philadelphia, but he’d know how to make it impossible to hold. Not a tactical genius, but appreciated why everyone needed to use the same drill manuals/maneuvers
English
I used to think Washington was a shitty commander until I watched Ken Burns’ The American Revolution. That guy was the only man who could’ve won the war for the patriots. The greatest tactical retreater in history

@northwoods_memo The Tea acts were driven by a bailout for the East India company after Robert Clive et al drove India into the ground and starved a couple million people. Whether you call that feudalism or not, it’s not fucking good
English
I think the underlying thesis of Horne's book that 1776 wasn't progressive is sound, but it's funny that people who defend 1776, believe that the U.K. was somehow still feudal in the 18th century. Bro, England wasn't even fully feudal in 1500.

My wife spent an entire year taking on extra work and smashing all her targets so that she could ask for a pay rise, they actually gave her one and then literally 2 days later our landlord put up our rent by more than the raise because he decided it was time to be paid more money

Imagine you eat nothing but american cheese on toast for a year straight and then your landlord just raises the rent by $300 anyways

This. All of us older Millennials watched how the Boomers acted for decades as they lived in utter delusion, denying anything was wrong. They were not frugal. They spent their money very irresponsibly, living far beyond their means, and did not have to work hard for anything.
Modern Rome in Freefall 🇵🇸@ljmontello
I don't think Boomers realize that the problem with their attempts to rewrite the 80s & 90s into a poverty struggle session is that wasn't, their elder Millennial children were there & can call out their revisionist BS nonsense.

@ettingermentum And, like, it did happen. It was kind of a novelty, but it happened

I don’t like the idea that this can’t happen

@davidchaffetz @godspeed_aflame @JudeDeAngulo Histories that were groundbreaking in their time but also bound by limitations. Should be read with skepticism, but good for insights into historiography
English
@Mr_Westerfield1 @godspeed_aflame @JudeDeAngulo What do think about the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire? Or Guicciardini's History of Italy?
English
sometimes I'll hear about an interesting sounding history book, and then I do some more research and learn that historians actually consider it the stupid book for morons that you should only read if you want to be wrong about everything

@detachment_red Let’s see, the probably autistic boy I taught who was really into mosasaurs was about 10 when I tutored him, that was 15 years ago when I was……. Fuuuuck
English
@ettingermentum Nah, they came largely out of the oil shock in the 70s, this is their stock and trade. I just saw an ad that tried to angle high gas prices into tort reform or some bullshit. They’re still trying to have it both ways
English
Like you know it just gutted them to have to pretend to care about grocery prices for even a moment
English
It’s honestly kind of comforting to see right wing commentators go back to defending wars and saying that the cost of living crisis is a fake after the bullshit opportunism of the Biden era. This is where we all wanted to be in our hearts.

@Mr_Westerfield1 @firagawalkwthme I'm not going to Mark Twain with you in this argument, I know I'm right and you are just wilfully ignorant for your tiny ego.

Discussingfilm preemptively locking the comments because racist cry babies who don’t know and have never cared about anything will suddenly have Very Strong Opinions on Betty Boop

Quinta Brunson will star as Betty Boop in a new film. The film - made in collaboration with the creator's grandson - would follow the origin & evolution of Betty Boop through the POV of her creator, Max Fleischer. (Source: variety.com/2026/film/news…)

@Mr_Westerfield1 @firagawalkwthme you could do like 1 second of research to find that your claims are false. Based on actual myths. She's literally just a white flapper girl. Cope.

@ExistentialEnso Guns, Germs and Steel always just kinda seemed like it was missing the point. Like, it’s framed as a rejoinder to right wing racial determinism, but most of the arguments it makes are kinda moot points to the talking points those people had at the time.

This book is deeply flawed on a number of levels, but the idea that a greater selection of animals that could be domesticated and easier access to iron gave Eurasia a huge advantage is not without merit

@godspeed_aflame @JudeDeAngulo To be fair, the Waning of the Middle Ages is over a hundred years old. It’s more that it’s massively outdated than bad scholarship

@JudeDeAngulo a distant mirror and the waning of the Middle Ages are two that come to mind

@mcenturyclanker @iblees_ki_aulad You’re not addressing them either way, or offering compelling counter examples for why distant imperial overseers and royal cronies would’ve been more progressive or democratically accountable here
