Watch the Last Kingdom on Netflix. It centers around a fictional Saxon character raised by Vikings, but it’s about this time period and these battles and Alfred is an important character.

The Last Kingdom tv series isn’t primarily about Alfred, but he is a huge part of it. :-)

Damn, gettin’ all smart and stuff. You know we can’t have that (I’d watch your movie. But I’m a nerd).

Oh that sounds like a great update. I’m going to watch this because I loved the original film.

It really does go too far. Because only one of them is assured of health insurance in the event.

How can someone be so thirsty with so much water around?

It’s like an adorable little makeup compact come to life.

You don’t know me, but I care about you. Please talk with me or with the suicide hotline. They’ve helped me a lot in the past. You aren’t alone in being terrified of this. You aren’t alone at all. It’s hard to remember that, but we need you.

Please don’t kill yourself. The national suicide hotline number is 1-800-273-8255, if you need to talk this over with someone. But please don’t kill yourself. You matter, not just to your mom. I promise.

Numerous reporters spotted carts of Bud Light being rolled into the Capitol in preparation for a GOP House celebration.

Well, that’s why I was asking.

My country was invaded by both Nazis and Soviets in WWII. I can assure you Nazis treated my people 200% better. Fuck russians.

I don’t really think Russian interference is mostly fueled so much by ideological “war with the West” as it is geopolitics factors and actually old Enlightenment ideals like ideology of empire. Putin’s Russian exceptionalism is fueled mostly by an Eurasianism, which can be seen in his push into Georgia, Ukraine and…

Correction to my earlier statement. Mexican “repatriation” was during the Great Depression.

You’ve expressed my thoughts so much better than I could do myself. Couldn’t agree more.

About the same as we ever have. I mean during WWII the US interned pretty much all Japanese Americans and quite a few German-Americans. We also kicked out a whole lot of Mexicans and Mexican-Americans who were all here legally (the Mexican citizens I mean clearly the Mexican-Americans had citizenship). And after WWII…

Not necessarily (the game over portion). An end to the EU would be financially disastrous for many European countries (most especially smaller ones). But even Le Penn and some others like Trump winning won’t end western democracies in most cases necessarily. Most of these countries have constitutions that would…

Hey now, Putin and his cohorts may be scumbags, authoritarian(The USSR already tried totalitarianism which turned out to be too much paranoia, fear, spying, paperwork, bureaucracy)but don’t dare call them “no talent”. We have an Orange Goblin as president thanks to them. This French election is looking grim af.

That’s like asking if Somalia or Nicaragua were ever anything other than a hell holes. The answer yes but not recently. Under some of it’s rulers Russia was in line with the rest of Europe. Mostly they are on par with most other countries. As part of the Soviet Union they were ahead of the US in some ways and behind…
