yeah actually I am angry about this but not for the reason you think

In the beginning was the.... Word, you say?

Imagine going to confession and the priest says your penance is to build the Lego Sagrada Famíla

[Josh @LexDecs]

“It’s been 645 bookmarks since my last confession.”

We got THREE Taj Mahals (2008, 2017 and 2021) and no one complained. But we get one church and suddenly it's offensive and bad.

Random Star Wars thing nobody cares about but me, but before they tacked on extra nonsense, I liked how Clone Wars started with an episode starring Yoda and ended with an arc starring Yoda

Felt right

[Jimothy @JimHistHub]

This would’ve rocked during the Age of Sail

[Winged_One @WingedOneWinter]

@a1sakata1ga_ It felt great when I started doing that again

The Cumans had insane drip. Their khaganate was destroyed by the Mongols. Most Cumans went west where they were in the armies of Hungary, Poland and Bohemia during the wars of the 14th and 15th centuries. Cumans were either Sunni Muslim or Tengrist but most became Catholic

A Volus would crumple over in despair at the state of human economics

[RÈBELs RÄÎDÈRs @Rebels_Raiders]

Ah yes, human economics. Very fascinating. Very concerning.

*wheeze*

“Who does Earth owe $350 trillion to?”

Mostly itself.

You owe money to pension funds, banks, insurance companies, investment funds, foreign governments, central banks, corporations, and millions of individual investors.

*wheeze*

In other words, humans have invented a system where they borrow money from themselves, pay interest to themselves, panic about it constantly, and then argue on the extranet about who is responsible.

As a Vølüs, I find this arrangement delightfully profitable.

The more interesting question is not who you owe. The question is whether the debt grows faster than the economy that supports it.

* wheeze*

If I owe 10,000 credits and earn 100,000 credits per year, nobody cares.

If I owe 10,000 credits and earn 12 credits per year, suddenly C-Sec starts asking questions.

Hah hah hah…* wheeze*

So when a human says, “We owe $350 trillion! Who do we owe it to?”

The answer is:

“Mostly other humans. The real question is whether future humans can keep making enough money to convince everyone not to panic.”

* wheeze*

Now if you’ll excuse me, I have several sovereign debt instruments to sell to the Elcor. They take a very long-term view of investments.

@melancoptimist picture the watching experience

[Winged_One @WingedOneWinter]

Imagine watching The Princess Bride and then immediately after watching Revenge Of The Sith

[The Warrior Philosopher @TWarPhilosopher]

Love is everything .

And always will be.

Even the machine desires love.

All things lead to Eros.

She is immense.

You are

Marvelous

The Gods wait to delight, in you.

[Cool Guy @CozyOomfie]

The Faustian Spirit is putting everything aside, even your own life, in the pursuit of a goal. It will cost you everything and you chase it anyway. Ultimately it's the freedom to die for something higher.

It's not about actually selling your soul to the devil.

Why didn't it explode

#BREAKING: CBP intercepts boat carrying 240 Haitian nationals attempting to enter the U.S. illegally.

@Sh1teMeister @Hootcel That's not a hard one, hoot, give us a Tanya lesson.

What about Winston Churchill WITH a Fox?

[Dexerto @Dexerto]

The Bank of England wants to replace Winston Churchill with animals on its banknotes

The public can vote on 18 different animals, including dolphins, red foxes, barn owls, and pine martens

[Winged_One @WingedOneWinter]

Addendum: barring France and Montana being gone, RETVRN.

[Winged_One @WingedOneWinter]

RETVRN

God the whole planet was such a frigging mess in the late cretaceous, I love it.
