I’ve never been impressed with my fellow Americans who talk shit on the French. We have mostly let go of our revolutionary spirit, and they never did. We would do well to pick up where we left off at Blair mountain.

Literal outlier

I could never claim to summarise even five minutes of WWII with a couple of sentences, but my point is that it’s hardly fair to characterise Japan as “ain’t heard no bell”

Who told you Japan was planning to continue the war after Hiroshima?

They were planning to concede after the first bomb. The president didn’t even learn of Nagasaki until it was in the news.

Nice to have a tin ear sometimes

Cliché, possibly 🙃

You only call them both litter if they both think the other sibling is trash

Maybe we should get the siblings alone and see if they think the others are trash. Prisoner’s dilemma style.

The desperation might be what sinks him, or so we can hope

You’ve very helpfully put your finger on exactly what holds me back. If I found myself believing in a lost cause, I couldn’t bear to go on. I am too close to despair as it is, so I will spare myself the small indulgence of certainty.

This is the bottom layer just ripping their face off to reveal a screaming skull

Maybe if we could solve for plasma arc gasification plants to turn garbage into clean energy. But not presently

Every day I stray closer to being an anarcho-communist

The absolute state of irony these days

Wouldn’t really call what Putin or Xi has going on communism though, would you? They both operate stock exchanges and broadly private enterprise that systematically subjugates their working class while they constantly feel the need to expand their territory and purview of economic sway abroad. To me that sounds a lot like what we do when we talk about our capitalism.

I’m on the side of irregardless not being a word 🤓

Word

Now I’m going to giggle like a nitwit any time I see burnt stuff in my oven. I’m ruined.

It’s 2008 again. Bad bets taking advantage of dovish monetary policy that has now ended.
