Nothus posted:What starts as academic make-work eventually filters out into greater professional-class society as students graduate and move on. It would be so immensely more productive to put all these academics to work digging through archives to build an international, standardised. free and searchable online database of every piece of equipment designed, built and shipped around during WW2. Then just continue with units and formations and other wars when work starts winding down. Heck of a lot of drudgework but it would provide steady employment and some actual value for society (for me).

The literal loving Harry Potter sneetches at the end loving killed me Yeah that was bad but at least kind of fun bad. Book six where he writes himself into the book and then kills off a main character saving him from the guy who irl hit him with a van, who he writes as a pathetic drug addicted alcoholic loser, is absolutely peak wtf are you even doing Steve

Son of Thunderbeast posted:People say this kind of thing but never explain it. Trotsky was bad because he murdered a bunch of communists at Krondstad, oh wait no I'm being told killing communists is good if they object to secret police and mass arrests. Oh that's right Trotsky was bad because he opposed Hitler before Operation Barbarossa

I used to really love the guy when I was a kid and in a fit of nostalgia I asked for some suggestions of more recent works and out of the four ‘really good ones’ people suggested all four were poo poo he figured out from the Richard Bachman thing that all he needs to do is have the Stephen King name on it to sell so why bother with the story part

Jon posted:democratic control and transparency, insular and exclusionary organizing, specialized oppression in their own organizations has kept the left from uniting for a century and a half. It's never the case that this is due to the oppressed objecting to their oppression- it is *always* the fault of the oppressors and their apologists.  anarchism

I got recommended 11/22/63 (bad), fairy tale (really horrendously bad), dr sleep (not great but kind of ok), and duma key (not really what I was looking for out of king but I guess the least bad of the four, by virtue of the inner monologue being someone of the same general generation as king and so at least plausibly believable)RandolphCarter posted:read revival, one of the rare king books with a good ending. or don’t, I have trash taste. If I get the urge again I’ll try but honestly I think I’ve had my fill of the dude after those four

Pet Semetary was King's last good horror novel before he bloated out of control and got silly, and Skeleton Crew was his last decent batch of short stories. The Stand sucks rear end and "It" needs to be cut down by at least 50% including That Scene

The Stand sucks rear end and "It" needs to be cut down by at least 50% including That Scene You’re probably right about It and I keep meaning to go back and reread it one of these days to find out but as a kid who had a pretty rough childhood and lost a sibling pretty young it really resonated with me at age 13 in a way that few novels have, sorry for the over share I guess but that’s my truth

lmao, the succers are now praising biden's restraint for not wanting to bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb iran. https://twitter.com/ChrisDJackson/status/1779292381080129741 I will say that biden not taking netanyahu's bait for going to war against iran is one of the few good things he's done (or rather not done) as president.
