This was a really great exhibition. I went three times to see it. The craftsmanship of these 3000+ year old artifacts was incredible.

Maybe the judge was living as a hermit for the past 6 years before returning to the bench. Only valid excuse really.

And it was planned for the 400 year anniversary, so it was pretty explicitly a reference to the explorer. Of course he was being celebrated in the context of the symbolism that the figure of Columbia is based on.

Plenty of people knew who Columbus was 100 years ago, come on. The 1893 Chicago World's Fair was called the Columbian Exhibition, ads had pictures of Columbus. I doubt people then reflected much on his mistreatment of the Native Americans at the time of course.

You'd think they would be AI winners. Cut most of their staff except for a couple dudes putting in the prompts. "Gemini, make a new AC game, this time set in....ancient mesopotamia". Would probably be indistinguishable from what they've been putting out for the last few years.

The Wolfman/Lamproid love story from Tales from Mos Eisley Cantina (Ed. Kevin J. Anderson) is a romance for the ages. We gotta bring back the classics.

I'd never bought gold until he was elected. Started last January and don't plan to stop until he's gone.

I just purchased after reading your review. Some of my favorite bits on ACOUP are when the celts/gauls get discussed so this seems perfect for me.

IMHO the reason he hasn't invoked it yet is because he doesn't trust he actually fully controls the military. He thinks he can count on ICE/CBP, maybe JSOC, to do illegal shit. He's unsure if regular army will do what he wants them to do. And with good reason.

He might even want it to be himself. In some sick way he might be trying to become horst wessel 2.

ICE has no scruples about killing innocent american citizens, but what about the enlisted marines and army who will have to be occupying all the other cities besides minneapolis? The number of them that refuse to fire on their fellow americans is what matters in the end.

Military archbishop: Troops could refuse orders on Greenland Speaking to Britain's Sunday program on BBC, Archbishop Timothy Broglio reiterated that conscience could permit refusal of an unjust military order.

It’s come to this: β€œCatholic members of the US armed forces could in good conscience consider disobeying orders to attack Greenland if such orders were issued, according to Archbishop Timothy Broglio, the bishop responsible for the pastoral care of US military personnel.”

Once the violence ramps up, as seems likely, people's daily lives around the country will start to be impacted. We're just speedrunning the 1850s right now.

From a classical perspective, I think something the greeks would be fine with, but the romans would think sucked. If they could get their minds around airplanes.

My guess is he is already in a red state. If he gets charged in Minnesota, R's will give him the Rittenhouse treatment, refuse to extradite him, escalate escalate escalate.
