Watching the first season rn and I thought it was more established that she started it after seeing it repeated by fans. But so far its not holding up imo. For example, dialogue between Cornwell and Lorca when they're rescuing Sarek implies that the belief that she started the war is not universal

Ive been watching the Expanse season 5 and MRW

I'm still sad that Andromeda did not get any dlc or sequels bc I needed more of her. She was my favorite companion besides Drack and was my favorite romance.

By bombing Iran, the US continues to make the world safe for war Netanyahu is thrilled by Trump’s attacks on Iran, as will be the arms manufacturers who used to love the shah of Iran.

"In Netanyahu’s words, Trump’s action will “change history” – as though making the world safe for more war is anything new."

‘Patently illegal’: Critics dispute legality of Trump’s Iran strikes Democrats stress that only US Congress – not the president – has the authority to take the country to war.

You have more in common with the average Iranian citizen than you do with the people that run this country

We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. All planes are now outside of Iran air space. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home. Congratulations to our great American Warriors. There is not another military in the World that could have done this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

US imperialism is the biggest threat to humanity.

Crusader Kings 2, Total War: Rome 2, and Skyrim. I probably have more than 600 hours in each of those games. CK2 is over 900 and Skyrim across all the platforms that I've played is probably about the same

I'm not saying don't criticize Christianity as western branches of the religion have much to be criticized for from the Crusades to the support of Colonialism and Imperialism; rather we should be accurate and try not to spread misconceptions of the past 10/10

Often in medieval Europe it was Christian institutions that helped preserve, transmit and expand human knowledge, with one of the most notable intuitions being monasteries. Christians and the Church in Europe did not hinder knowledge but helped foster it because it was a way to understand God 9/10

These mediecal facilities were often a part of religious buildings and isntituitons. The most famous eastern Roman hospital, the Pantokrator hospitak was attached to the the Monastery of Christ Pantokrator during the reign of the emperor John II Komnenos (r. 1118-1143 CE). 8/10

The eastern Roman Empire also saw advances in the medicinal fields of urology, and surgery. The medieval Romans even had civilian hosptials that were staffed by nurses, orderlies, diagnoticians and surgeons. Timothy S. Miller considers them to be the precursor to the modern hospital 7/10

They saw the creation of simple automata. In Constantinople there were bronze automata, one of a tree with mechanical birds that would sing and a couple of bronze lions that would stamp their feet and roar. These were made by Leo the Mathematician, the Metropolitian of Thessalonica 6/10

The idea that Christianity is anti-science and held back human knowledge is a false one. Within the eastern Roman Empire which was devoutly Christian in the Medieval period (and was wracked by a number of theological crisises during this time) saw a number of scientific advances. 5/10

Within the Islamicate world there was a hadith attributed to Muhammad during the Middle Ages that stated "Seek knowledge even in China, for seeking knowledge is an obligation upon every Muslim." Their faith did not hinder or stop the pursuit of knowledge and neither did Christianity in Europe 4/10

For example, Islamic and Arabic speaking scholars confirmed the circumference of the Earth, invented algebra, spread Arabic-Hindu numeral system, and expanded the corpus of Greco-Roman wisdom. And their faiths were not incidental to their pursuit of knowledge but a fundamental aspect to it 3/10

This image ignores the scientific and technological strides that people all around the world making. And many of the people who contributed to it were devout. The Middle Ages saw the Islamic Golden Age, and the Tang and Song dynasties in China where many advances in knowledge were made. 2/10

This is an extremely bad take for a number of reasons. First of all it's Eurocentricity as it assumes that all technological and scientific advances would come from Christian Europe and that it's the Church who stopped this. The rest of the world is a part of the history of human knowledge 1/10

to push w/e is popular instead of trying to popularize justice is to admit you lack moral leadership

Ngl but my favorite genre of posts will always be women gushing about their girlfriends or wives. Like hell yeah queen, love this for you!

If youre looking for an action rpg the Fable series is good imo and theres Kingdom Come Deliverance. But if you want a crpg Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, or Rogue Trader are good options. And there's also fun narrative and text based rpgs like Pentiment or The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante

It's so nice outside right now. I wish it was like this all the time

Playing it just reminds me how much stuff like the Indiana Jones movies and Gladiator helped me fall in love with history.

I've been playing the new Indiana Jones game and I gotta say I'm having a blast. It's fun, campy and looks amazing. Honestly one of my favorite games that I played this year
