@DirtyErnieDeux I honestly didn’t recognize him when i saw him on TV. I thought at first he was sick with something very final.

[Dimitri Kolokotronis @JLevendia]

He looks less healthy now.

Legendary actor John Goodman is nearly unrecognizable after finishing his 200lb weight loss journey at the age of 74.

He looks completely different from 20 years ago and proved that hard work and discipline pay off.

@josefstoolin I always thought the true real life Game of Thrones was the Hellenistic Age

The Sun King, like Napoleon, was in fact as cunning, controlled, and twisty-minded (“polytropos”, “of many ways”, as Odysseus) as any fictional Machiavellian Mafia don.

Versailles was a prison. The point was to keep all the nobles in one place so they couldn’t scheme unobserved. Of course it had to look nice, but it was fundamentally a pragmatic expenditure to concentrate power, not pointless opulence.

@partiiallystars That in a world with actual aliens, dragons and giants this person would be as bored and boring? She doesn’t know, no.

[Dimitri Kolokotronis @JLevendia]

How very interesting.

BREAKING: France arrests 420 people, including 166 minors, accused of deliberately or accidentally starting wildfires amid its worst fire damage since World War II.

@unpg34 They’re making it difficult for them. The Quebec version of laicisme discriminates against burkas and kirpans, and the province controls a measure of its own immigration

[Dimitri Kolokotronis @JLevendia]

I haven’t been to Quebec City in a while, I really should go back.
Never in winter though, I should make that a trip…

[Dimitri Kolokotronis @JLevendia]

@anodynamics Ooh la la!

The Pleiades, also known as The 7 Sisters, are a winter sight in the Northern Hemisphere, but only 6 stars are visible by eye.

A Bronze Age artifact from 1600BC, the Nebra Sky Disk, shows 7 of them…the oldest concrete depiction of astronomical phenomena known from anywhere in the world.

These stars are called “Subaru” in Japan, & form the logo of the car company.

“The Flight From White.”
Traditionally, those seeking social mobility tend to move from the less socially privileged in that particular society to the more privileged.
The direction is always accurate, despite official ideological protestations.

Second narrator (Matt Thunder) of this video on Buffalo Point FN is the nephew of the current chief and is the third-generation of the Thunder family with no Indigenous ancestry, and his kids are white blond. https://t.co/polbqXO2A2

@MoreAvocadoes @Lordmiles Wait, “stretchy ice cream”?

[Dimitri Kolokotronis @JLevendia]

@afrotrad It’s ok, I think that’s also relevant here

[Dimitri Kolokotronis @JLevendia]

@afrotrad True!
Everyone talks of Rachel Dolezal, but these types of Indian/Indigenous “pretendatarians” have become a regular thing up in Canada.
I mean, even Buffy Sainte-Marie turned out to be born Beverly Jean Santamaria, of Italian & English descent:)

@mattyglesias Yes I’m afraid it IS above your pay grade.

Moderns wouldn’t survive a day, even if placed as aristocrats knowing the language, in Versailles or any of the other great royal/ducal courts.
They think mere technology has done anything other than dull their facilities with regards to complex political & social relationships.

@CyberPunkCortes “Courts are, unquestionably, the seats of politeness and good breeding; were they not so, they would be the seats of slaughter and desolation. Those who now smile upon and embrace, would affront and stab, each other, if manners did not interpose.”
