Doctor Jeff Hawn 🌻🇬🇧🇺🇸🇺🇦

i’ve said this before, but when i’m writing and it really starts to flow, it feels like i’m playing piano. human writers don’t simply put words together—we allow intellect and inspiration to collide. a machine will never be inspired.

It’s a great piece mate really enjoyed it

Kinda like Lubbock Texas

He said he was scared of big gay people? Dude come on bears are super sweet and chill generally.

YouTube video by Tribunate Class & Sexuality in Ancient Rome Part 1: Gay Relationships

There is a significant body of work that looks at the power dynamics of various sexual dynamics. @gaius.bsky.social documentary on what the Romans considered heteronormative is very interesting. Basically it was more about power than orientation youtu.be/d9y-thVnwKg?...

😳 well well well what have we here?

I guess some things never change

But the serious question here. Was the medieval clinic as much a center of gossip as its Long Island salon counterpart? 🤔 (tone humorous good natured)

oh yes indeed recalling. Early Soviet beauty being closely linked with longevity theories and other weird stuff

Cosmetic treatments are a universal constant

Have you no decency Madam?

I wasn’t going to say it….but I can’t really disagree with it

Dam it such a cool dude. I got familiar with him through Burn Notice such a funny talented guy

Someone sold them on the idea blow up the top guy the people will rise up. Doesn’t seem to be working very well

Telling the Vicar of Christ, Archbishope of Rome to stay out of secular matters is somthing we have been arguing about since the 800s. I am not sure Madam is aware of this.

Everyone needs a hobby. Mine is researching lunatics secular and otherwise.

As I understand it and granted this is really more of a hobby research he would fit neatly into Anglican teritory as the Anglicans were fairly anti-Calvin/Baptist much more high church types.

Are we on Gulf War 3 or 4?

I’m remembering SA bomb in the basement strategy. I think a good number can rig at least a dirty bomb and an artillery shell.

That is a eeirly accurate assessment chum

Reform win a seat: The true Volk have spoken and we all must listen.

Greens win a seat: Early reports that Muslims may have ‘voted’ (an ancient Islamic practice designed to steal elections). How severely should the franchise be limited in response?

That consensus began to collapse with the culture wars and has only been supercharged with the consolidation of the media market

If you read the state department records from the 1950s, there’s a huge emphasis on the distribution of factual information and scrutiny of government policy as a means to counter Soviet propaganda. Of course, this did not always live up to the ideal, but I do think there was a cultural consensus

I think we are seeing a cultural reversion to the pre-WWI era of journalism where the focus is heavily on profit. 1920ish to 1990ish I think there was much more of a consensus that the role of journalism was there too inform the public, especially in light of the emergence of propaganda and Cold War

Is there something to be said about Denmark being more culturally homogeneous and having a more fragmented political landscape as driving the precipitation these policies were winners

UK Labor appears to be learning the wrong lessons

Venezuela increaseingly looks like he got played to support a internal coup

I’m teaching about Cuban Missile crisis tomorrow and the risk of escalation. Please stop making my job more relevant and easier please

How Yeltsin really paved the way for Putin – Riddle Russia Jeff Hawn sees Boris Yeltsin as a deliberate gravedigger of Russian democracy rather than its beleaguered protector

It was so close. So so god dam close. My book will have more details but here is the thrust of it ridl.io/how-yeltsin-...

It’s squares with Kennans own analysis
