@gracecthdralprk Jeffersonian democracy was a huge train of thought through early American history.

This is one of those historical half-truths that really needs to be eased up on. Yes people have always hated the toil of subsistence farming, but the implied corollary (that they welcomed the transition to non-agricultural wage labor) is a very controversial idea at best

Blitzball is my favorite minigame in any JRPG ever but I cannot deny it is so funny how the tutorial match has you play as the Cleveland Browns against the prime Brady dynasty Patriots

Now that this is recirculating I implore everyone to listen to his VA for the AKOTSK audiobook. Some of the best line deliveries I've ever seen and is the reason why I lot of book fans set a very high bar for S1 (it mostly passed)

NEWS: The man who rammed his explosives-laden truck into a Michigan synagogue today was named Ayman Ghazaleh, according to a source familiar with the situation. Ghazaleh posted photos overnight of his family members, including young children, who were killed in a recent Israeli attack on the town of Mashghara, Lebanon. This is a developing story.

@writerofscratch @Nihonpolitics Not to mention Japanese people can look at a map and realize their energy security was completely dependent on that region being stable.

@Nihonpolitics Why the "yikes"? This war won't achieve anything good and will only result in the death, injury, and displacement of many, many innocent people.
English
Jiji poll finds that only 7% of the Japanese support American/Israeli attacks on Iran. Yikes.

@maecaeron @MattV07095826 @amadaoffor Nah they were generally a peaceful influence on the seven kingdoms I think. Stopped the forever wars between all the kingdoms. The occasional dragon fight is a small price to pay.
English
@One_Wing92 @MattV07095826 @amadaoffor Most of the civil conflicts in which they were a Targaryen loyalist was against other Targaryens, mind you. That family was a ticking time bomb with the amount of continent wide civil wars it caused in just 300 years.

Oberyn would have ambushed Rhaegar and carved "Elia Martell" on his chest with a poisoned dagger and the Mad King would have gone madder.

@gothicrhaena Honestly think people are overly complicating it. Bloodraven's mother and Daeron's mother got along and they grew up together and he spent his life supporting him and his children. I know it would be a tragic twist if he loved Daemon but it just makes more sense if it's Daeron.
English
lowkey i hate the theory that daemon was the brother brynden loved. mostly because i hate daemon
English
@MattV07095826 @amadaoffor Yeah I think that makes sense but it requires a motive right? Like throughout westeros history the Starks and Tully's were always strong Targaryen loyalists. So why now suddenly? Aery's was nuts, but he hadn't really done anything to them until the events that started the war.
English
@One_Wing92 @amadaoffor I've always supported the theory that Rickard, Hoster and Jon were plotting in secret for years to depose Aerys, that they carefully engineered a friendship between Ned and Robert because they knew that they would need a Baratheon (Valyrian blood) to spearhead their rebellion.
English
@MattV07095826 @amadaoffor Yeah there was also strongly implied a maester conspiracy to get rid of the Targaryens. Rickard's maester strongly advocated for getting his kids involved in southern families.
English
@amadaoffor I think people forget that Robert's Rebellion wasn't just about getting 'justice' for Lyanna Stark. Ned wanted justice for Rickard and Brandon, Jon Arryn and Hoster Tully wanted to be rid of Aerys, one way or another it was always going to happen.

@fairytalemaid @t_vann48 Joffrey also almost killed a poor peasant in front of her for no reason.
English
@t_vann48 Like Joffrey even sang to her 😭 maybe it’s lost in the show version (haven’t watched in forever and forgot most of it) but Joffrey can absolutely be gallant and charming, Aerion is not why tf are ppl saying Sansa would’ve rooted for that unabashed abusive psycho

Ppl in the replies trying to make Sansa out to be Regina George like she didn’t feel compassion for the chopped and scary hound after he trauma dumped on her

@MarkAmesExiled It kinda reminds me in world war one there was a massive build up of dreadnaught class battleships on both sides. But they were so expensive to make no one wanted to use them in battle so in the end they were basically just a white elephant.

What's the point of a gazillion dollar navy if it's too vulnerable against second-tier power Iran and semi-state actor Houthis. This same US Navy hiding far outside Iran's range is supposed to be able to take on peer competitor China in the South China Sea. A lucrative grift.
