Claire seems resolved to just go with the status quo and only speak up when it’s convenient for her, when the stakes are low.

While correct, this is the dullest of takes.

The Reign of Terror was in 1793-94. It wasn’t the entirety of the French Revolution, just the only part Americans know anything about. Whereas the mob violence of the Patriots against the Loyalists is glossed over - tar and feathering was a real thing, and much worse than it sounds - thus creating the impression of a…

Not sure if we had this in high school World History, but there’s college classes and then there’s just being moderately well read.

“a film about a French-Jewish soldier who was wrongly accused of espionage in the 1890s and vindicated after five years in a penal colony.”

That TOTALLY sounds like post-hoc naming of an element that should have been on the original periodic table. 🤔

I am sad. Some squirrel is starving to death this winter.

I don’t know where you’re getting your ideas about how mean dealt with parenting almost seventy years ago. If they were unable to afford boarding school or nannies, they either quickly remarried to foist the kids on the next warm body, shipped the kid off to live with relatives or even just gave their kids up for…

It’s funny when the American click bait media decides to cover something international, there always has to be an angle for the useful idiots to shriek about.

Huh, I thought it meant white boy.

The writers need to let the Lexa thing go. Giving her this gravitas, this weight over the whole series is ridiculous. How she became more important than Lincoln this season is mind-boggling. Her and Clarke did not also have this great love — they were prickly, complicated, inconvenient — sandpapering that diminishes…

“Octavia didn’t tell you about the hydro farm working again!”
“No more bloodreina!”
*Octavia burns hydro farm, removing their only food source*

First the kobolds came in 275, then the hill giants in 348, followed by a massive army of mind flayers in 433, and things only got worse from there. You don’t understand, man! You weren’t there!

I did my fair share of hating Deadspin through this World Cup but credit where credit’s due. Thanks Chris, for a nice recap and for noticing the fans who gave the standing ovation. I don’t even mind the blatant anti-Russia bias.

First, let me say this as a Russian, Croatian team deserves all the respect they can get.…

Do you want 1982?  Because this is how you get the 1982 World Cup.  (It’s what they did, except that the last four teams standing did play knockout. It was so bad they haven’t tried it again.)

So, the dogged Danes weren’t great?
