Kunming for the Flying Tigers. Something to represent US involvement in East Asia

I finished Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 last night and I’m already having that post-finishing-a-story nostalgia you get after reading a good book.

long stretch of worked roman stone on Hadrian's Wall.

If you ask someone today to name the builder of Hadrian's Wall, they would give you a funny look. But historical memory is odd, and right up to the 1800s we forgot who built it.

Until in 1840 John Hodgson, an obscure Northumbrian clergyman, published the LONGEST footnote in history... 1/22

The second is only incompatible with impermanent pardons if the people rigging the sham elections get outplayed and lose power

Barry Zuckerkorn type argument

What scared me is I assume they’re not thinking about fair and free elections

I really hope there is another chance for that choice to be made

How will the administration react to other countries using this as an invitation to play ball?

That this is how the richest people in the world live their lives is an overpowering argument for a structuralist view of the world

This was not the point of Ordinary Men ffs

Where are Kubiš and Gabčík when you need them?

That’s funny because I read his book while I was at UT Austin. The professor who assigned it has since moved on to run a program in Florida that promotes “Western civilization and values” and all I can assume that entails.

Oh my god I didnt realize he was part of the that joke of a university. What else did I expect from Mr “the worst part of anti-communist death squads murdering people was that they didn’t give the murdered people a chance to realize communism was wrong”

I was assigned a few chapters from his crappy book about the world wars being one war in grad school and I hate-read the whole thing because I couldn’t believe I was assigned a book that defended imperialism that lazily. No surprise this is where he’s putting his efforts now

I’m also very amused by the parade of Kuttenberg NPCs without beds who walk off the map together every day at dusk.

I’m 40 hours in to #KCD2 and I just made it to Kutná Hora. I will compile my thoughts about this game eventually, but generally I think it’s an improvement on the first in every conceivable way. And I’m impressed they approached building a historical world in such a healthier way this time around.

Is this a hint that a Morrowind video is in the works?

Video obtained by CNN shows the rear landing gear of the jet buckling and the right wing shearing away in a fireball after the plane landed hard on the runway.

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

Czech far-right leader stripped of immunity over racist posters He could now face up to three years in prison.

This is an appropriate response, which also seems to imply that your politics can be as racist as you like, you just need to be polite about it.

Matt Walsh tweet: Bizarre decision by the NFL to have some guy come out and lethargically mumble a bunch of songs that 90 percent of the NFL audience has never heard

they can take over the entire country but they can never actually be cool and it will eat at them forever

“Appeasement is not a solution”

I guess its time to dig this one out again

I know they don’t know Dr Seuss in Italy because this could have been avoided

Okay, who had "The actual fucking Pope shows up" on their #Sanremo bingo card?

January was a movie-light and Sopranos-heavy month, so there is still a christmas movie hanging out here. The Cremator/Spalovač mrtvol exceeded all expectations
