Having Diocletian harassing them really made it more difficult for the various sects to kill each other over the finer points of dogmatic interpretation.

Nero was literally the antichrist in Revelation, he probably had him beat.

Whatever you say, LadyGreyEternal.

Wow, yet again.

Are you that Brit that interviewed Jordan Peterson?

How so? My understanding was that it was the old school variety but with a Neo-Platonic spin on account he got initiated in Athens.

I think I just answered my own question.

Eh, Gore Vidal had an interesting perspective on him as dying light of Greco-Roman civilization.

Not sure how true that was - the novel was great when I was fifteen but it’s embarrassing now. And the attempted conquest of Persia that ended his reign was undeniably madness.

Wow. I wasn’t even trying to gaslight, honest to gosh.

You keep right on flaming like a candle at both ends, all the way through the night. To friends and foes alike it’s such a lovely light.

Zero evidence? All I know is what I read in the papers, same as most people.

If only a loon would question the official 9/11 narrative, I suppose that would make 2/3 of the world population including hundreds of first responders who were present for the event loons.

It’s cool - Russians believe their media when it tells them their president is a hockey pro, North Koreans believe theirs assures…

I specified that it was idle speculation. The man had been getting away with his behavior for years and years before he angered someone who came very close to becoming the most powerful elected official on the planet, I couldn’t say how the machinations involved would work but the possibility that there might be a…

Nothing better to do now than settle old scores I suppose.

I really had to wonder if Lauer’s fall from grace had anything to do with the presidential debate he moderated the year prior - apparently she was furious with him for asking a question she didn’t have screened beforehand.

“It’d be very unlikely for us to do a Bobby Ewing thing where you see him get shot at the end of one season and see him in the shower at the beginning of the next season. We just don’t tell stories that way. Reach your own conclusion from all of that.”

That would seem to address the possibility the finale of BB was…

He has been known to misdirect in a whimsical sort of fashion - when asked about Jesse’s arc in BB S4 he said it would be a “romance in the criminal underworld” referring to his mentorship under Ehrmantraut.

Opiate addiction just makes so much sense, especially given it’s topicality.

Thin ray of hope being that hometown reveal as being near Omaha and Jimmy’s collapse suggest we could see her again. Who else could he have listed as his emergency contact?

Mom is really mad that I killed Uncle Ackbar last week but i’m not sorry

Wait, they were written by a woman?

Full 180! Let her do her thing!

“O Brother Where Art Thou” came out on DVD divided into 24 chapters while I was trying to do that, I found it helped out a lot.
