@AliceAvizandum *snorts a gigantic rail of coke*
that’s some good ass praxis

@IHateNYT I love that a bunch of these guys are major early Christian theologians. Theophilus of Antioch is a saint! And they all have *opinions* on the blowjob painting.

@jstein_star I agree, we should nationalize all of the AI companies in order to compensate the public.

Tbf, Adam Hamawy has a long resume of doing exactly that, and the right wing media has been treating him even worse than Platner

@OuroborosAnarc1 @AliceFromQueens @TheLawyerOwl The trick to doing coke is having some opioids and benzos to knock yourself out at the end of the session and avoid the comedown.

@jadexskywalker They’re the best antagonists, like we saw during the final Tenant episodes with John Simm’s master. In the original run, they kept the doctor grounded because they could judge, punish and coerce him pretty much at will.

@thelastrosbif @nathINSANE He turned into a sniveling wretch every time he had a problem his powers couldn’t solve. Soldier Boy has been calling him everything from “a weak, sniveling pussy,” to “the softest, wettest boy,” since the end of season 3. Are you really surprised that his dad was right?

@afrocosmist @whyislenguage Definitely has some themes in common. It’s a series of wars between a declining empire that’s headed for a Napoleonic putsch versus a jingoistic, dysfunctional liberal democracy with a rising fascist movement and a disgruntled officer corps.

@RE_Ari18 @History__Speaks The first commandment, no other gods before/above me, is not a rule for monotheists.

@drumm_colin Do you think Shang Yang was too sanguine about human nature?

@ThatchEffendi The provisional government was a dead man walking after the disastrous Kerensky offensive. You’re talking about a failed state. Only question was who would topple it, the Bolsheviks or the next general to get ideas like Kornilov (equivalent to the worst of the central powers).

Speaking of threats to the Vatican, any occasion is good for repeating Cardinal Consalvi’s apocryphal retort to Napoleon: “If we, the clergy, have not managed to destroy the Church in 1,800 years, how do you expect to succeed?”

@mammasaysstuff @gatorneiljr @jbarro @jonfavs In fact, right this very moment all three of those guys are hammering Bibi for going along with the new ceasefire. They all back the Lebanon invasion and they back the Gaza genocide, where their criticism is mainly tactical, because Bibi has failed to wipe out Hamas.

[Slanted & Disenchanted @FirstClassHack]

@mammasaysstuff @gatorneiljr @jbarro @jonfavs But the Israeli opposition does not oppose the war with Iran. Yair Lapid and Benny Gantz’s parties control 36 seats and they’ve been 100% on board. Lieberman controls 6 seats and he’s more right wing than some of Bibi’s coalition partners (just hates Bibi personally).

@SandyofCthulhu That was Jamukha. The people who got boiled alive were Genghis (not yet) Khan’s followers, which may be the source of confusion. No need to pad GK’s body count.

@Reboticant @eris_nerung I’ve had four different drug dealers in NYC who gave away free bars of Xanax as a kind of garnish. My current guy refuses to carry any bills smaller than $20, so he makes change in benzos.

@potterypannel @zbogus77 Guts is an antihero, though. He’s not trying to save the world, he’s out for revenge. Even before the eclipse, he murders politically inconvenient children for Griffith. Definitely not a traditionally heroic character, it’s just that his enemies are much worse.
