Two historical connections worth pointing out here:

1) Charlie Beresford (the one surviving member of the naval detachment) ends up being an important admiral, most notably as Mr Dreadnought Jackie Fisher’s main antagonist.

2) The Mahdi’s descendants include Siddig el Fadl, aka Dr Bashir on DS9

There are some operational advantages to modern diesel AIP subs, but they’re a *very* different animal than WW2 diesel tubs

Honestly, a lot of the itinerant Chinese philosophers had that dawg in them. Mencius? Had the guramba of a True Poaster

I can easily imagine Martin Luther posting his theses on Twitter instead of a church door, 1/99 style

I submit to you that Diogenes of Sinope was the first True Poaster

Again, patriotism isn’t about loving America as is, it’s about believing it can be something better. Also, anyone who says my grandfather fought in a segregated unit at Normandy for fascism can take a hike.

In 1993, my buddy *earned* enough Camel Cash to get the dart board. I remember throwing darts and listening to Siamese Dream around a keg of something awful. Us dudes really used to rock.

Which is why it’s weird no one feted it as a solution for the student loan forgiveness crisis!

That said, it is strange that no one tried to make the Granger “inflation is good for borrowers, actually” point in the last couple of years

Not necessarily! Tommy Wiseau and Doug Walker very much exist, just to name a few

A back and forth between Isaac Chotiner and Captain Janeway made to look like a screenshot from The New Yorker.

Or the Jose character. He's almost entirely inconsequential to the actual proceedings. But! You can't cut him because he's the Jacob stand-in and the Team Jacob people will revolt if you do.

Oh very much so! Apparently, the later movies are *even more uncomfortable*, in no small measure due to the author exerting psychotic amounts of creative control over the later adaptations.

He puts it down to 3 related issues: 1) the first movie's director is a woman where the second is a man, and 2) movie 1's director is a film director and not a TV director (film directors have a lot of creative control) and 3) the 2nd movie's director is EL James' husband
