I think part of the rules of war stuff is so that the enemy doesn’t do the same to you.

Presumably, he’ll be deploying the army to prevent America’s pending defeat at the Ryder Cup, at this stage.

Catholics used to wait hundreds of years before making saints. That ensured that there was no one left alive to remember that the real guy was actually a prick. Ah, the good old days.

And of course everything pumped through that foreign company will be captured by homeland security. There is no reason not to capture that data about future foreign leaders and what they have written. Nothing about which to be concerned there!

From the same people who brought you Pope Trump.

Friends who study all things demonic: For the CHA this coming June at UPEI, my colleagues and I are arranging sessions that explore aspects of devil belief & their consequences in any historical period, w/ any geographical focus. Please get in touch with @devilprof.bsky.social if you have questions!

Could have hired a humanities graduate. They can write all by themselves

Have been talking about a satanic renaissance with @mikkibrock.bsky.social and @vetur.bsky.social but not quite the same

Yeah. Perhaps history will have its revenge. But so what? He’ll remain chief until weeks before his death, staggeringly wealthy and ruining people’s lives. And nothing will happen. Nothing.

This’ll spark a terrorist attack in the US and then everyone will forget that the US provoked the attack. It’ll be that Reichstag moment

But this isn’t what it’s about. It’s about seeing how far American troops are prepared to go. It’s a potential Reichstag fire moment.

Thank you for your kind words. Too long in the making but it has arrived. None of the three of us have seen it yetβ€”but we have read it a few times!

So much of what administrators and other outsiders think we do is modelled on introductory classes in the sciences where students only need to commit certain bits of information to memoryβ€”so of course they think that everyone else do the same so it can all be do e by AI
