there's extensive historical research proving this untrue, particularly for Union soldiers who became radicalized after seeing conditions on plantations like the one of Robert E Lee's son
Allowing #Scotland, a country famous for its war of independence from Britain, to play not one but two games in greater Boston, a region famous for starting a war of independence from Britain...was a fantastic idea by all involved
With the arrival of the Euros, all mockery of Mormons and their golden tablets will be kept to an appropriate minimum. All conflict between Yankees and Dixie will cease, and all will focus on hammering any euro trash that denigrates this great land
May God bless you and America
Uncle Iroh voice actor Greg Baldwin criticizes Paramount over the state of the 'Avatar: The Last Airbender' franchise
“Paramount doesn’t care about ATLA ... The new regime at Paramount is straight up evil"
"I can speak freely because I’m 65 years old and my pocketful of fucks is seriously depleted"
"Working as a paralegal at various studios in LA for thirty years…I had the opportunity to observe studio executives closely. They’re generally a slippery and clueless bunch who shouldn’t be allowed near anything remotely creative…but the new regime at Paramount is straight up evil"
"These soulless bastards have nothing but contempt for a show about grace and redemption and the struggle against fascism"
"ATLA is a mystery to them."
"They. Do. Not. Value. The. Franchise."
"Who should lose their jobs to AI? Answer… Studio Executives. Ironically…those cockroaches will be the last to go"
"In conclusion… Fuck you, Paramount"

Played the villain so well that when the creators of ATLA were making season 1 they based the villain off of him but didn’t like anyone’s audition until… Jason Isaacs’. Dude crushed it so hard it got him another job.
Jason Isaacs had the difficult job of playing a villain audiences would genuinely hate in THE PATRIOT (2000). Colonel Tavington is so effective that two decades later people still mention the character before they mention the performance.
Hackers are utterly incapable of hacking shit that would actually benefit people. Want them to hack the FAFSA to get rid of student loans?? Sorry their too busy hacking cartoon studios and threatening to release something people were already planning on watching
I know it’s become pretty cliche and cringey to talk about at this point but if you’re under like 25 I cannot stress enough how one time Obama wore a tan suit and people spent a week arguing over whether or not it was demeaning to the Oval Office and they were serious about it.
Since Pope Leo XIV mentioned this in encyclical, this means if your employer is pushing you to use AI, you can cite religious conserns as a reason to not use it at work
May 1918. Blackstone Hotel
Taft checks in and the clerk mentions Roosevelt is eating dinner there. The two hadn't spoken in six years.
They ran against each other in 1912, splitting the Republican Party and handing the White House to Woodrow Wilson. The friendship was dead.
Taft walked into the dining room anyway.
Roosevelt's friends saw him coming and went silent. He turned around. Taft was smiling.
Roosevelt jumped up and bear-hugged the man he had once called a "Fathead" with "Brains of a guinea pig".
The dining room stood up and applauded. Strangers who had read about the feud for years watched it end in real time.
Eight months later, Roosevelt died.
At the funeral, Taft stood alone and wept.
He later told Roosevelt's sister: "Had he died in a hostile state of mind toward me, I would have mourned the fact all my life. I loved him always and cherish his memory."
Don't wait.
Let me put it to you this way, if Kamala were president and all she did was sit in the Oval Office, drink wine and watch reruns of The View, our country would be ten times better off than it is right now.
