But the reason why nothing was purchased must not be of the economic variety. It’s like attempted murder— in your mind, you wanted to do it but failed because of some unfavourable circumstances.

The content creators! I might not have been prepared or motivated to start reading all the Tolkien books I can find (especially The Silmarillion) without the lore videos, the guides, the memes and jokes, the fan art, the appreciation posts &c.

Currently reading War and Peace one chapter at a time so that is definitely an apposite message for me lol

“I want you to understand, if you kill Gwenpool, the REAL Gwenpool […]”

Oh my goodness 🤣

What I mean is that the people in charge should work towards an economic situation wherein consumers have the disposable income required to buy luxuries, because that’s what advanced healthy economies look like. Of course, the current American government is doing the exact opposite.

The economy is based on people buying things, from essentials to the latest iPhone. Low consumption is bad for everyone

Oof I literally just finished reading Gareth Russell’s book on the topic lol
(The Countess of Rothes is a badass)

The poor woman has retired and been fired so many times lol

Why would any billionaire care about RoP? 🤨 I doubt even the guy who owns it cares lol

This is Mando S1, for comparison

A true man of the (uneducated) people…

And then it’s not surprising that there are so many sexual assault/rape cases at FOX. They purposely employ the sorts of “manly men” who are very likely to take advantage of women and the sorts of women who are intentionally most likely to attract these predators…

Well, 77.3 million

Why do all the women on Fox News look and dress alike? Republicans prefer blondes From pundits like Ann Coulter to Kellyanne Conway, American rightwingers are a uniform vision of don’t scare-the-horses dressing

Oh my god that sounds so much like what my parents told me Communist Romania was like in the 1970s and 1980s
“Patriotic” shit all day lol

It took me a moment to realise Jassy is Iași 😅
It is always so disturbing to learn about how the Romanian government (with enthusiastic popular support) massacred hundreds of thousands of the nation’s own sons and daughters, or otherwise forced them to seek refuge somewhere else…

You should relabel the “far-left” as “centre-left.” Because the far-left is more like “fuck your rights, what’s yours is mine and if you disagree you go to the gulag”

I’m fine with that, but I’d really love a second season of BoBF (preferably with no weird tangents lol)

See the landmark US Supreme Court case National Socialist Party of America v. Village of Skokie, 432 U.S. 43 (1977)

Idk the difference between comics and graphic novels so idk if this counts but I recently picked up Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi. It should offer a valuable perspective of the Iranian Revolution, which has started to become an interest for me.
