Women are wonderful animals, they should be making music and writing novels about having a complex relationship with your mother.

Even if it was for the purpose of mockery, you are a bad person for spreading that.

flipped cars are such an everyday occurrence in new orleans that taking pictures of them and posting them to facebook or the new orleans subreddit or whatever is just seen as this lovely catchphrase

which tbf is in and of itself p funny. after moving away, it took me awhile to notice that people don't normally flip their cars



just a single car crash, resulting in an upside-down car nbd

it's not even a matter of "deserved" or not. you gotta get rid of the whole dynasty when ending a monarchy or they'll keep coming back like bedbugs.

i always have wondered if the story of one of the romanovs having so many jewels sewn into their clothes that they survived the first firing squad volley because it was mildly bullet proof was true

none of the would-be romanov impostors over the years has amounted to anything, so i'd say the purge worked quite nicely.

Puyi loved to tell passerbys "hey I'm the emperor, I just got back to Beijing and it seems I can't find my way back home." while he was out street sweeping. And he like to go to the forbidden city and ask people if he could be their tour guide. He liked to tell waitresses "I wish I could serve you instead" and wait to be the last one to get on the bus. Maybe some of that is apocrypha, but I think he really enjoyed going from being told he was a god and abusing his power in very sick ways as a child, to being a tightly controlled puppet, to being a good person, or trying to be. Supposedly he wrote to Zhou Enlai saying he wanted to make sure his relatives who escaped to help imperial Japan would not be allowed to return to China and Zhou wrote back saying, basically, "relax bro".

He ended up also getting a job as an editor at the literary department of one of China's political bodies after being a street sweeper for about a year.

Monarchists were a small faction in the broader white movement, albeit a fairly vocal one. People forget for some reason that monarchy was abolished in Russia during the February Revolution. The October Revolution that ultimately resulted in the civil war was to overthrow the largely socialist Provisional Government. The war had very little to do with reinstating Romanovs, and continued for four more years after their execution.

I was not familiar with the life story of Puyi and now I am completely absorbed in his Wikipedia page. What's the best biography of this guy? I'm totally fascinated.

Eh, kerensky had definitely pulled the SRs to the right making them an effectively social democratic government, the provisional government intended to consolidate into a liberal republic which is why many left SRs sided with the bolsheviks
