Who's the one Italian historical figure that could get John deported? Garibaldi?

Maybe there's some D'annunzio diehards who would dangle John by the ankles off the prow of the Puglia.

The landmines episode is great, but I kind of wish they'd done an interview for it.

I'm glad they didn't to be honest - Mark is a great interviewer but John can be horribly awkward (though 2v1 interviews can't be easy), and almost all their episodes lately have been interviews so it's a nice change of pace

i actually think that landmines are a specialised enough subject that they should've brought someone on to talk about it - they do the reading they can, but by their own admission the literature is quite sparse and just by virtue of having this as a special interest i noted some mild inaccuracies, specifically when they were talking about mine clearing technology

Like every other episode they joke about waffentwerpen and hardware fetishisation, this isn't that kind of show. They talk about hardware but usually only in broad strokes, and other topics like the politics of procurement and arms manufacturers are almost always the main focus

well, the issue is that a lot of the advances in mine clearing are not about hardware it's about how one organises grids and trains clearing teams etc., which really has changed quite a bit over the past couple of decades. how this stuff is organised on a higher level is also very interesting, because it's largely outsourced to NGOs as jobs for the more idealistic segment of ex-Troops

It would've been more dignified if he had killed himself. Also, it feels good to have never particularly cared to follow Taibbi because I never had the time for it, but I'll pretend it's because I could tell he was sus.

[druggy burnout voice] And now a word from our sponsor: Are you worried about your family’s spiritual power and it’s potency? according to studies by mr. Li Hongzhi, miscegenation is a leading cause of spiritual decline.

People took Starship Troopers at 100% face value and that's way more obviously a satire. And regardless of whether you blame 300 specifically, there's a definite strain of Spartan fetishization in a lot of pop culture
