Crucible [he/him, comrade/them]

I think about the Romans a lot, but I think about Egypt and the Ottomans too. I just like Mediterranean history. I was clearly a member of the Sea People in a past life.

A crown that says ‘make history’ atop a skull and vultures, the cliffnotes version of Ozymandias

Delayed til 1 minute after the market closes on Friday

You support overthrowing the government because the US state dept says it’s bad

I support overthrowing the government as the first step of reviving Manichaeism.

We are not the same

They would keep saying he’s a gay puppet controlled by Putin and even as they were firing the nukes the libs would say ‘he’s doing this because Putin wants to kill Americans and Trump will do anything his lover, who he is gay with, says’

There are definitely major breaking points which really make things hard to predict what comes after, we won’t revert to a priomordial ooze any time soon but they will make life on Earth dramatically different and worse by most mammals’ standards for everyone still alive on it.

Over ~32 degrees C yields drop on all C4 pathway plants because they stop absorbing CO2. Wheat, sugar, and corn are C4 pathway plants, iirc ~8% of all plants on Earth use it. 32+ summers are expected already in most of the wheat belts around the world, this isn’t even factoring in that many of those wheat belts are fed water (and therefore cooled as well as hydrated) by disappearing mountain glaciers like the Rockies and the Himalayas.

Desalination of the oceans will also dramatically alter the movement of the ocean which will alter the weather worldwide as well as killing many of the things living in it.

We can’t predict the knock-on effects of even one species being wiped out, and a lot of species are going to be wiped out.

I’m proud of you all for the number of these that are just ‘they’re mean to me :(’

It would be very funny to me if they were in a military stand off while still buying weapons from the Americans

It really explains why Naomi Klein wrote a book about what a nightmare it is to be confused for this person

It was good to wipe it out because they had done ‘Palpatine actually had good motivations actually’ by establishing that he was militarizing the galaxy to defend against the coming Yuuzhan Vong invasion

Also Abeloth stunk

One of the first things did was an agreement with all the delivery apps to blacklist ‘illegal’ migrants who tried to work for them, so they are absolutely in cahoots

The western outlets are all so busy jerking off to a burning mosque it’s hard to find any information about it. A church burning down would at least have a paragraph about how long it had been there, who the community leaders are, how big the congregation is, if it was a real fancy building the architect or something special like that would be mentioned

It’s the weekend, gotta get our biggest escalations out of the way before the markets open on Monday

Pauly Shore voice: Tasin’ ma gooch

This guy seems like he likes special effects, I wonder if he ever made a movie with some

The fitness requirements were intended to screen out all women because the people making it up fully believe women are literally inferior, when that didn’t work they need to go further and just reintroduce the explicit gender bias. The grunts who think they’re actually Rambo want a man to be there to ‘have their back’ aka personally see their feats of violence, while a woman is a prize to be taken as a reward for doing that violence

In fairness the thou shalt not kill/steal stuff is established while Moses and co. are already on their way to Canaan to kill them and steal their stuff

Actually he was no angel 'cause he caused a lot of trouble for the burgher class and they were just simple small business owners
