Yeah Remembrance Day is solemn as gently caress here. Change of the guard, gun salute, minute of silence, wreath, aircraft salute pass, the whole shebang. So many poppies. It is not in any way a day to scam free food. I never got the impression it was a way to honour veterans so much as it is meant to honour dead people.

I hope to not get chewed out for this, since I never served, but I always thought that is how war memorials should be. A remembrance to the fallen in a war. To how tragic it is/was that we even had to fight one. As an American it weirds me out to no end how much we jerk off to the military but then not really give a single gently caress about veterans benefits, or the dead. Hell I can’t even go to a baseball game anymore without being subjected to what feels like 30mins of sucking off to our military-industrial complex. It’s why I prefer memorials. I remember being haunted by the WWII memorial in Normandy. Heck the one in DC is really tasteful too. I’ve never made it to Verdun, but I heard the memorial there is chilling.

I guess this is as good a time as any to plug hardcore history's WW1 series "blueprint for armageddon." It's still free on the website/itunes for now.

That is an excellent series. It still boggles my mind that during the Battle of the Frontiers the French Army lost 20,000 men dead in one day. Not wounded, missing, etc but straight up dead. And that was the first loving month.

Personal interview with Musk to the Times. Summary is that it's a 800 word piece that basically says "Feel bad for me, I really deserve it"  This would be strategy #1 were I a lawyer trying to establish a case that Musk wasn't aware of what he was doing during the long, drawn out period between the short seller comment, to the earnings call snap, to the tweet storms. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/16/business/elon-musk-interview-tesla.html Immanentized fucked around with this message at 13:05 on Aug 17, 2018 |

What the gently caress.  How did we not already invoke the 25th here? Imagine one of McNally's letters going to Omarosa or something.

Breakfast of Champions posted:I will come to a time in my backwards trip when November eleventh, accidentally my birthday, was a sacred day called Armistice Day. When I was a boy, all the people of all the nations which had fought in the First World War were silent during the eleventh minute of the eleventh hour of Armistice Day, which was the eleventh day of the eleventh month.
