Everyone who makes podcasts is incurably diseased, and being a podcaster is like a kind of societal quarantine to keep them away from normal people.

The pistols were only good in the first Peloponnesian war, they got nerfed from the second one onwards

In a cultural ouroboros, the movie version of Watchmen has the documentary that inspired Frank Miller to write 300 playing on one of Ozymandias' big wall of TVs.

Had "The Battle of Mice and Frogs" already been written by then? Was Alexander making a pop culture reference like the woke zoomer he was?

"Nuh uh everything woke is just the translators" guys just cannot stop losing, can they?

No, people have actually seen this

But if you meant for like horny fanfic reasons then sure, it's like Ram Ranch in there

I mean realistically all the hero kids have seen each other naked what with showers and etc

They just almost certainly stop giving a shit after a point because if you're all in the showers together it's right after All Might collapsed a building on you or something. Bigger things to worry about.

"Assigned Victim At Birth"

I'm going to take this opportunity to shout out the Museum of London Docklands which has fully like half a floor about the slave trade and London's driving role in it.

How do they have enough hours in the day?

I think Ob Nixilis is the bad guy in every single fantasy novel ever published

Except for the Chronicles of Amber, where his name is Corwin and he's the main character instead

Man back in the day someone did an edit Star Trek where it's that text in the classic TNG blue credits font over a shot of the Enterprise-D, that ruled.

I think Iran's probably the one they have shortlisted for that, but yeah possibly

Oh I'm well aware the odds are in China's favour in most conventional scenarios for that war. The US will do very well for the first phase of it, but once they've lost too many ships and planes they just don't have the industrial capacity to replace them quickly like they did in WW2. China does.

Demented Mongol rides again!

"Talk shit get hit" remains a fundamental fact of life

Anime boy holding a book says "What a powerful dialectic!"

In the event that the big one kicks off between the USA and China, which feels disturbingly possible in the near future, the current US govt will blame EVERYTHING bad that happens in the US on the war with China. They'll shoot your neighbour and tell you it's China's fault.

I'm aware "ICE are acting like fascists" is a played out talking point but I do think it's valuable to look at specific ways the two are very similar.

It's more than just godwin's law, sometimes there is a real point to it and this is one of those times.

Similarly if you could ask a German in 1942 why people were starving in prison camps it would be "we can't get supplies because of the British blockade" or "railway lines are being damaged by allied bombing", they'd never admit that starvation was the goal

The purpose of a system is what it does.

Fics where the 1-A dorm take turns doing the grocery shopping, and when it's Todoroki's week he's literally never been in a supermarket before! Like it's an alien environment to him, he's wandering around BAFFLED at the sorts of things you can buy!

MHA fandom has missed out for years on culture clash with Momo, Tenya and Todoroki all being upper class dipshits

Give me fics where Momo doesn't know how the washing machine in the dorm works because that's for servants! Give me Jirou having dinner with her, but she doesn't know which fork to use!

In the distant spacefuture, when we've got cities on there and met the aliens and things of this nature, that's going to be our gimmick.

"Oh, humans? Yeah, those are the guys who turned their moon into like, a whole second planet. They got theme parks there and everything."

No, all the bosses in the other games at least have enough agency to tell you "Hello I am Grenade Crow, here is my trauma" but when he wanted the bosses to all be women for 4 he had to have there be a man who tells you their life story instead.

Always a good day for a fascist to get his ass beat

"Real people who you could just put in a Warhammer book and nobody would notice" is one of my favourite genres of historical photo

The Stand name for Tetris has to be "Another Brick in the Wall", right?

This guy and the original sicko doing the predator handshake
