i think im just utterly overwhelmed by the constant deluge. once its over and done with itll be extremely interesting to look back and see where the pieces fall.

i will read as many volumes of game change as it takes to cover this poo poo

part of the trump strategy was to make it a referendum on the media.

this is so dumb but he talked about in art of the deal. you release contradictory information all at once and people spend so much time hashing out what happened that they lose the actual content.

It's brilliant and cynical and perfectly positioned to take advantage of our political system.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

Is that like the term "Byzantine", one tacked on later to indicate a break between classical Sumerian and the later Babylonian period?

the akkadian linguistic/ethnic identity and the akkadian empire are extremely different things and talking about Akkadia before the latter exists is extremely dumb

im actually thinking that the preferred term is akkadian empire, not akkadia, so dr p has me dead to rights on all accounts

Neal Stephenson is an autist

I read through the Baroque Cycle in basically one sitting, it's the driest fiction that I have actually sat through and read, but it actually owns because of all the research he did on the Royal Society members and other natural philosophers of the time

You know he wrote it out by hand? They showed the first drafts at some fiction display a few years back, a stack of notebooks several feet high.

trump's getting his poo poo wrecked super hard, we're in the republican schadenfreude portion of the election.

Trump isn't what's keeping me up. It's he's been making GBS threads on veterans in the worst way for more than a year. The GOP has been loving over veterans with budget cut after budget cut and I have to sit down with flag officers and puzzle out why more than 50% of veterans would be just happy throwing muslims and other minorities in camps. What the gently caress do you say to a retired black marine general whose almost in tears because he literally cannot talk to any of his old friends without being called a traitor because he supports a democrat. Women who endured multiple instances of sexual harassment being told they deserved it by people they used to look up to. The Kahns are the tip of the iceberg; when the polls dropped that it was okay to attack them because they were muslim democrats it woke a massive amount of people up and every single minority veteran is knocking the campaigns door down to help.

That loving military forum. Sitting there watching the fascist cheeto blob monster spout nonsense. He took a wet poo poo in the mouth of veterans and white dudes could not trip over themselves to talk about how amazing it tasted.

Unsurprisingly none of the WW2 veterans support Trump; but according to the fuckface shorts up to his nipples army captain that harassed my family at Hofstra, those people are traitors because they aren't voting R this year.

hey so like we minorities have known our entire lives that there are a shitton, like an absolute enormous amount of straight up racist white supremacists in this country. Like we knew that most white males were racist as poo poo. It's sort of surreal seeing the proof here, and it really sucks and it's pretty scary. This election is stressing me the gently caress out and I have to take copious amounts of drugs and alcohol just to dwi. There's no way that the political landscape isn't perma-hosed by this series of events. Also it's great watching all of these "progressive" friends value their moral high horse over voting against actual literal fascism, it's good to have a reminder that white males are always gonna put white males first, to keep everything in perspective. You can't forget. But they don't give a flying poo poo about us, it's been lip service this whole time. I have more words about this but they leaked out of my ears

his prose is incomprehensible technobabble that people think is smart because if they dont understand it, pretending to do so makes them feel smarter than other people.
