Both Dorothy Dunnet series are absolute masterpieces. Amazingly researched, complex and mind-expanding, beautifully written, intensely romantic, and with some of the best female characters ever conceived. Pawn in Frankincense, in particular, is heart wrenching. That said, not everyone is intelligent enough to appreciate these complex masterpieces, and until your mind is captured, the reading can be difficult. If you’re uneducated and unwilling to learn, don’t bother to try.
Stop saying “trillionaire“ as if @elonmusk can stroll to the bank and withdraw $1,000,000,000,000.
The immense illiteracy around finances in Americans is astounding and retarded.
This ignorance is how politicians prey on you.
A small public service announcement from the Department of Things That You Should Know…
It has not “peeked” your interest.
Nor has it “peaked” your interest.
…It has piqued your interest.
You are not “phased” by something.
You are fazed by it.
If you’ve had a long day, you are weary.
If you suspect someone is an idiot, you are wary.
It is “due course”, not “do course”.
“Per se”, not “per say”.
And while we’re here, it’s “could have”, not “could of”, but that particular battle may already be lost.
Thank you for your attention during this brief outbreak of grammatical housekeeping.
This has been a @LairdofthManor announcement.🎩💙
I remember watching Seinfeld and we all laughed when Kramer was attacked for not wanting to wear the Aids Ribbon
He was participating in the event, paid his money was was there to support, but it wasn't enough
Now its reached the point where you are penalized for not wearing the ribbon
We live in clown times
Ils veulent m’envoyer en prison.
En France, il vaut mieux être un migrant agresseur de femmes qu’une identitaire qui aime son pays.

Lo más impresionante del Mundial en Estados Unidos es que no tuvieron que hacer prácticamente nada para recibirlo.
Catar levantó estadios desde cero, construyó un metro completo, rediseñó carreteras, hoteles y barrios enteros, inclusive cuando terminó el evento dijeron que iban a regalar un estadio porque les sobraba.
Sudáfrica tuvo que erigir estadios nuevos, estacionamientos y obras masivas, fue una inversión multi millonaria que abarcó parte de su PBI.
Brasil quemó miles de millones en infraestructura y terminó con un presidente preso por corrupción (Lula), al final todavía estaban las obras cuando comenzó el evento.
Rusia remodeló medio país para estar a la altura, y aún así se veían las deficiencias de infraestructura como de transporte y otros.
¿Y Estados Unidos?
Cambió el césped en algunos estadios. Punto. Nada más. Nada de megaproyectos, nada de obras faraónicas, nada de “reinventar” ciudades.
Y esto pasa porque cuando ya tienes infraestructura de primer mundo, el Mundial no es un problema sino que es un trámite.
Stop pressuring athletes to wear pride merch. If a player cares about the cause & wants to promote it, they can do so voluntarily, which makes it more meaningful anyway. Practically forcing people to play along just breeds conflict for the sake of virtue signaling.
I'm actually shocked at how fucking naive people are.
You would have thought after Covid people would have woken up to what is actually going on all across the globe.
Lock step surveillance and state control.
Covid was an intelligence test.
Half of you cunts are cabbages🫵
This video by History Debunked (Simon Webb) is a must-watch.
He perfectly explains what happens to a Christian nation when the Muslim population rises:
Lebanon was once the glittering “Paris of the Middle East”, stable, prosperous, Christian-majority. Nightclubs, casinos, sophistication.
Then higher Muslim birth rates + mass immigration changed the demographics. They demanded special rights, played the victim, and eventually turned the country into a war zone.
Christians went from 75% to a minority. The nation never recovered.
Sound familiar?
This is exactly the path Britain is on right now. Grooming gangs, parallel societies, Sharia councils, and the Muslim Protection Unit openly organising for unrest.
Critical mass is approaching fast.
We didn’t ask for this.
We didn’t vote for this.
The sleeping giant is stirring.
Invaders, you may have come to the wrong island.
My England for the English.
England. True Grit. Restore.
No apologies. No surrender.
As an ex-Muslim, Muslims shriek in agony & rip me to shreds when I critique Islam...
But Islam tells me that Jesus isn't my Lord, He isn't my creator, He isn't my Savior. Islam came and spat on our sole reason for living. We have the right to defend our faith it tries so hard to shatter.
In fact, Islam teaches that Jesus will return to break the cross in half... the symbol that represents our salvation. The disrespect knows no bounds.
And people forget that Christianity came FIRST. The burden is on ISLAM to prove itself, not the other way around.
🚨ALL SUSPECTS CURRENTLY CHARGED WITH MURDER OF MALES IN IRELAND IN 2026 ARE NON-NATIONALS
Diversity is our strength, unless you start counting the bodies that is.
Women will vote to mass import rapists from the third world, virtue signal about how they’re more comfortable around Syrian and Sudanese “refugees” than they are with their high school classmates who still believe in having a country, and then go online to complain about how unsafe they feel going out at night.
I am not calling it fucking Türkiye bro I speak English not Turkish.
I know for a fact they don’t call it “United States of America” in Constantinople. I mean what are we doing here
This World Cup has really made me realize how far the British public has fallen. They truly believe:
- We are all poor
- We don't know what Cheddar Cheese is (We just eat spray can cheese)
- Our stadiums and atmosphere suck (LOL)
- We make $41k a year
- Health Insurance is $8k a year
- We go bankrupt all the time from medical bills
- We can't afford pain killers
- Everyone is rude
I think the most shocking part is that they know these things FOR CERTAIN. Will argue me to the death about it and then insult me and tell me I'm dumb.
In reality:
- We won best cheddar on earth (decided by a UK panel)
- We make $64k a year
- We have 30% more disposable income than they do
- Health insurance is $120 a month on average
- Prescriptions are like $15
- Everyone is super friendly
- They would be the 51st ranked state in GDP (right behind Mississippi)
Absolutely psyopped by the BBC. Rabid and vitriolic in their delusion.
