@Lcplpeepee @JoeBobson123452 @Hanasaku_Yuri Indeed, a lot of Kentucky and Maryland slaveowners made this exact point as their reason for staying in the Union

@Hidden_Collect I’d say most of the tier-1 Chinese cities (Beijing excluded) are tolerably walkable in the inner core.

Maybe even slightly better than Taipei as there are overpasses and you don’t have to spend half your time watching traffic lights countdown

@KarnesMellagio @imuru_danansun Honestly, this view seems like near-universal among DPP supporters on threads

@JohnWakefieId 1830s New England states did this and created a generation who thought that all Southerners were the spawn of Gog and Magog so let's not rush to judgement

[Dan @danwords_]

@Ali_Husain333 @JohnWakefieId It's probably true that caring about the actual slaves was a minority view (at least in 1861-62) but most Union soldiers clearly despised the Slave Power from the get-go

@steamedhamms For what it's worth, Norway's greatest ever manager Egil Olsen was both a massive long-ball merchant and a Maoist

@127J_H I agree on the injuries but I do wonder if toss luck matters a bit less now that pitches either don't really deteriorate or are mad right from the off

@aquaimperium8 I think John Ashworth's Slavery, Capitalism and Politics is pretty good on linking both aspects, though it is more about the Democrats than Jackson himself

@JohnWakefieId @3xcalibaneur 1820s: The Locofocos are seething about tariffs
1920s: The Locofocos are seething about tariffs
2020s: The Locofocos are seething about tariffs
2120s...

@FakeMarinetti @devarbol Also politically, the 1862 midterms were coming and anybody concerned about the morality of emancipation was already voting Republican.

The people Lincoln needed to win over had to be convinced that emancipation would win the war and wasn't just revolutionary for it's own sake

[Dan @danwords_]

@FakeMarinetti @devarbol Yep that’s true

But it’s important that emancipation could only be constitutionally legit as a military measure, and that’s why Lincoln (who definitely had Lawyer Brain) made very clear that it was his justification.

@assna_maz Then again, Brentford (a) last year convinced me that we'll at least be able to survive Rice missing 5-10 games

[Dan @danwords_]

@assna_maz I like him a lot, but feel most of what he offers to the squad is covered by Rice and Havertz

@madeleinewintr Great thread, but are the Lannisters hated by their vassals?

Up to ASOS, the Lannisters seem to have the Westerlands fairly united, much more than the Tyrells control of the Reach

@ohlookitswill_ Might be the greatest 10 seconds of commentary of all time from "he won't give that" to getting Vaughan's name wrong twice
