For me, it was a twitter meltdown he had when called on his lovely centrist logic on something I can only vaguely remember- think it was something like having friends from lots of political persuasions and the importance of discussion etc and someone rather kindly asked him if that would include fash. all his pretensions of eloquence and inteligence collapsed entirely, like a flipped switch. I would look for it, but I got blocked by him for laughing at his strop. It's a shame cause I didn't mind some of his science outreach stuff (even if he did sound like a muppet on a heroic mdma dose) and it tainted it. 125 AD- the Pantheon is constructed in Rome by Hadrian. The Greeks knew, and had responded accordingly, but Ghandi was 2 turns off completing it and now will hold a grudge for the rest of the game DesperateDan fucked around with this message at 08:38 on Apr 8, 2019 |

Brian Cox is totally unaware of or at least unwilling to examine his own substantial privilege, and very much embodies the 'smart academic who assumes all his non-academic opinions must be enlightened' trope.

Cosmologists seem to tend towards either socialism or nihilism. "We're lost in the endless void and our petty posturings are absurd, let's work together to create some meaning at least" or "nothing matters lol"

Happy morning fellow subjects. Today's Brexit is forecast to be glorious! Ah what greatness lies ahead I was thinking, if I could talk to Lady Britannia, the personification of this fine country, I would offer her these words of advice: And forever shall you wear this shame As a garment, as a garment And as a garment shall you be thrown Into judgment, into judgment Happy thoughts!

Flipswitch posted:I've been tempted to pick this up. How does it play? It's...ok. I think the gameplay is a bit hamstrung by the luck of the draw, especially since the game resolves over 3-4 Rounds, so there is little time to recover from an unlucky activation draw. In our game the Revolutionaries were able to deploy more units in more strategic points in the second Round and that gave them enough manpower to crush the Provisional government forces even if they had managed to preserve the Favor of the People for most of the game. Just like in real life, at the end of October the Bolsheviks simply had more Victory Points. E: and no it wasn't in Glasgow!

Just received an interesting email from my CLP about newsletters, there's some concern that we need to get them delivered asap so that their cost isn't rolled into any potential forthcoming election.

His articles are usually okay though.

But he predicted Brexit long before the polling shifted by looking through the desolated areas outside London that formed the backbone of Leave pushing over the edge.

Also the complete collapse of Scottish Labour prior to 2015 by going to "Safe" Labour seats and seeing just how weak the party structure had gotten. He did more than just talk to the five people the local MP had lined up to speak to him, but spent some time pushing a bit deeper, talking to people when they weren't being watched over by minders, going to see the operation of the other candidate etc. . That was the first time I really noticed him and I was impressed.
