Happier every day that my kid is a girl and will not be tempted to play football.

Anyone who says “I’ve read dianetics and appreciate the merits of Study Tech” is a fucking scientologist, lets be real.

*Looks up from biography of John Hawkwood*
Ah, fuck.

There was a knight in the 12th century who’s helmet got so dented during a tournament melee that he had to have it hammered off while his head was still inside.

Not since I realized that everyone likes David Frum now.

You can be a rookie detective, but not a rookie AND a detective since it takes years to become a detective.

Well it worked, didn’t it? Whoever this person really is, they found a level of acceptance and friendship by doing this that I have to think was at least partly their goal all along.

Jesus

Personally I don’t think that’s the case. Pre-Christian societies also tended to keep women out of accounts of history.

I SPIT TEA

Well, if you ask me that’s sort of what they want, that iconoclastic pagan type of thing. I think in a lot of cases what it comes down to is where your exposure to this stuff comes from. Here in America, for instance, Norse neo-paganism is almost entirely contained to white supremacists. I think the reason for that is…

Honestly? I’m increasingly bored by them now that Alfred is gone and we’re kind of off in the woods of AS history. I haven’t watched much of the show yet but I like what I’ve seen and I’m excited about the possibility of Aethelfled showing up in pop culture

Thanks. I don’t remember having to do this the last time I was at a hotel (Disney last May) but honestly that’s probably just me as someone who doesn’t have to worry about this shit talking. I wouldn’t even think twice about showing my ID to a hotel.

What I don’t really understand is how they would know a person was undocumented just from the information required for getting a hotel room. Unless that’s changed a lot since the last time I was in one.

Boy I did my best to watch it frame by frame and see if he kinda prepares himself for it at all and I can’t. I’m sure he did, but he managed to keep it kayfabe pretty well

The Confederate States of America come to mind.

Well sure, as they are now, but the basic idea, if it could be applied in other ways, seems to have some potential.

This is the crazy thing. There’s literally no reason, whatever you think of this thing, for it to be marketed as making certain types of small business obsolete. What end does that serve? Maybe I’m dreaming considering what Amazon has done to brick and mortar bookstores (though there is some revival happening) but I…
