Paul & I were at a family member's church for a christening. The pastor gave a sermon about how tithing is super important & praised a church who took all their tithes & built a bigger church . . . during the great depression.

So two of my students were talking about seeing Black Phone 2 and when I told them the writer of both films @crobertcargill.bsky.social was from Austin their eyes lit up. Very much a "wait people from here can make it" moment.

This is why I hate when people say "we're cooked." Like that is black pill shit. Shit sucks, but giving up is just letting them win.

It just hit me, that if the Dems were halfway competent they would have reposted that Halo Trump image with-

"We agree"
with an attached footage of BJ killing Nazis in Wolfenstein.

"Let them eat cake" was never said by Marie Antoinette, but it became synonymous with her because revolutionaries were smart enough to push the lie to change public opinion.

So 'couch fucker' this thing dumb asses, take the orange out of context to make the average common person (more) pissed

I constantly heard folks say "I don't care that they tore down the east wing" which is a glaring example of how folks on the left awful at big picture strat.

He is literally building a gilded ballroom which will likely cost half a billion dollars, while actively gloating about cutting food aid.

Oooh, a local indie horror film. Is it going to be in local theaters as well?

This is the brilliant indie Jess and I Executive Produced. A truly Austin production. Hope you love it!

If you want to know good parallels to today, look up the origins of the Russian Revolution. The fall of the Tsars isn't a 1-1 parallel but it has a lot of themes you find today, plus it took place only a little over 100 years ago.

No problem, just remember that this is basically the first time we can see it, minute by minute, and can read everything in real time. We just are exposed to it now compared to even 20 years ago.

To answer your question, as a Historian with a degree in History, we have always been this stupid. This is why people got rid of Kings and Lords because, dear god, can people be dumb as hell.

When I post the Q&A sections of The Captain's Table, someone inevitably comments something like "Why didn't you chapter every second of this video?"

Brother, I make almost no money off the podcast. I have other things to do. I'm not gonna label 50 Qs in a 1 hour 30 min vid.

Today is my one remote day a week & I am enjoying the little things like . . .

Responding to the youtube drama like they're my bestie ("she said WHAT?!")

Not wearing socks or shoes

Sneaking cheese slices from the fridge

Loudly announcing that I have to use the bathroom

Petting the kitties ๐Ÿ’—

At least going back to stylized low-poly means I don't have to spend two days in Adobe Substance making PBR and Normal Maps for the big tank parts lol.

I didn't think he'd be so stupid as to literally build Versailles while starving the people, but here we are.

Fallout: Timeline To The Apocalypse
YouTube video by Acceptable Losses Podcast Fallout: Timeline To The Apocalypse

Watching @kirioth.bsky.social and @dkdiamantes.bsky.social talk Fallout Lore, when they get to US ANNEX CANADA is really funny to find out how very parallel that time line is with our modern one. (Without the cool power armor)

Jesus Christ, do people really not understand that "Uncles" and "Aunts" aren't always biological? I had like 3 "Uncles" who were my dads best friends and might as well be his brothers.

This is the thinnest thread in the history of threads.
