“Gird up thy loins like a man: I will ask thee, and do thou tell me. Wilt thou make void my judgment: and condemn me, that thou mayst be justified?”

@FistedFoucault I think this is too narrow. Poles and Dutchmen are different peoples, yes but they are both Europeans. In the same way I am a midwest German and not a Scots-Irish southerner and that difference is big but in our present moment we need common purpose.

RAISE THE BANNERS!!!

@girllafraidd Iron is easy to overdo so best practice would be shellfish or sardines. Taking a single nature made iron supplement is fine but unless you’re anemic that iron stays in the body for a while.

[Real Time w/Ed Gibbon @RealTime_Ed]

@girllafraidd Iron, B12, Zinc, or D are most likely

I fell for the classic foreign op of loving my nation and my fellow countrymen who I share a common bond with due to our ancestral heritage

Poland and the Winged Hussars saved Vienna on this day in 1683 from the Ottoman siege.

It was the largest recorded cavalry charge in history with 20,000 horseman thundering down to save the city!

@girllafraidd Just drink the damn beer

[gabby @girllafraidd]

kind of embarrassing but whenever I get stressed out about food and if I should eat it or not I have to think like how I imagine a football hooligan would. Like I cannot imagine a football hooligan would care about calories or fat or card content. Just drink the damn beer.

The 20th century as presented vs what actually happened

[Tolkien Universe @Tolkienuniverse]

🚨 Elijah Wood got the role of Frodo Baggins in one of the most unusual ways imaginable. He didn’t audition through a professional agent or casting director. He made a homemade “fan video” himself.

After hearing that Peter Jackson was searching for Frodo around the world, Wood decided to take a chance. He went into the woods with a friend and put together a makeshift Hobbit costume using clothes he had at home.

They filmed him performing Frodo’s lines and scenes from the books with an amateur camera, turning the whole thing into a homemade audition tape.

Wood then sent the VHS tape to Peter Jackson. Jackson had gone through thousands of professional actors’ audition tapes, but when he saw Wood’s homemade video, he was blown away by his performance and passion. He reportedly said, “I’ve found Frodo.”

And that homemade VHS tape helped land Elijah Wood the role that would define his career.

As it turns out, ALPRs tracking your 4x4 is a pretty big deal.

We convicted a woman for saying a racial slur on camera while she and her child were harassed by a Somali sex pest but we can't convict a women who murdered her three children in cold blood

The problem of crime in America isn't one of insufficient surveillance

The surest way to lose a war is failing to recognise it is being waged against you.

His fate proves that in a decade of right wingers posting online the only we have improved is our ability to post online.

62 million chuds tried to walk away in 2016, and again in 2020, and again in 2024. You might as well say no one walks away from East Berlin.

This man’s fate proves that, as an empirical matter, no one ever actually Walks Away From Omelas.

They just soothe themselves with the belief that somehow or other, the kid musta had it coming.

It’s crazy how ubiquitous this claim is and how it immediately falls apart when you ask what does efficient mean?

“if resources are finite why would we want to embrace the system that uses them most efficiently”

Even libs at their most outlandish abuse of language never called the simple act of *thinking* brave. This is UC Berkley grad student calling Will Stancil a racist levels of self satisfied and just as unearned.

[captive dreamer @captive_dreamer]

Good little thread here; we saw some of this mentality survive into the 20th century in the lives of types like Jünger and Pierre Drieu La Rochelle; in would hesitate to call it “irrational” honor and courage; it seems more like a firm and resolute sense of self.
