... the Elle article on Swift’s place shows a picture labelled as “the library”... is that what they’re calling it, or what Swift’s calling it? It seems a bit grandiose to say that a few filled bookshelves turns a room into a “library”- it would mean my apartment counts as a “library”... if, er, I bothered to get…

“No, he doesn’t get to revise his own history.”
I often kinda wish celebrities would talk *less* about politics - simply due to the fact that your typical celebrity... like, a musician, actor, athlete? There is no specific reason why these sorts of people should have any more influence on our political thoughts and feelings than Bob or Sue down the street. Plenty…
I don’t know *precisely* about the motivation for the smiling, but the “WHY” to the ad for rewards for runaway slaves...
I had never heard of El Mozote before - looked it up as you mentioned it. Thanks for cluing us in about it - hideous : (
Cherith Cutestory’s posts match up with what I’ve read, personally. Had the British won the war, they surely would not have forced Americans to give up slavery, as slavery was certainly still legal in broader Britain for some time. It IS perhaps the case that slavery may have been ended sooner had the American…
Anarchist? Anarchists advocate for a society with no class or caste divisions, an end to racism/patriarchy/etc, with as direct of a democracy as possible.
It’s perfectly possible it was just a random act of desecration - whoever did it may not even have known it was a Jewish cemetery, they could’ve just popped in one night to act like shitheads.
Trump fulfils promises he made! Well good for him. He’s probably going to have one of the highest ever “promise kept” percentages on politifact.com in the end, which would USUALLY be a wonderful thing if not for that everything Trump promised he’d do was absolutely brain-dead awful. And simultaneously he’ll end up…
You *can*, but you shouldn’t. Truth, when matters of politics are concerned, is extremely important, and the public ought to have as clear a view of what’s happening as is possible. If it’s not someone’s fault for something, then it should not be blamed on them - even if it is someone as hateful as Trump. All it…
I wouldn’t be surprised if you’re on to something, but that might not be the whole picture, because...
This will be answered in a future Genji sound clip.
I’m not sure if you’re kidding or not : P But all the Amazon names came to us through Greeks, and, as we’ve not actually found an “Amazon” language for certain, all of the names (as well as I know) are actually Greek names. Possibly Hellenised names from another language (the Greeks picked up the word “Amazon” from…
I’d just like to point out that the name of the woman involved was “Deianeira” - Deianeira was the name of an Amazon, and it meant “Man Destroyer”.
The article never said that handcuffs and firecrackers were weapons, from what I read. It said he had weapons, and some other odd things. The knife and the garrote are certainly weapons.
Since 2016 was the year that all the useful people died, maybe 2017 will be the year all the old evil Sith will die, hopefully?
Oh bloody hell, yes, this. When I had just entered high school, there was a student council election... there were two groups. I forget what the one’s talking points were, but they seemed mature (for their age, anyway), serious, and had sensible ideas - they were a bit boring, though. The other group was just…
A whole lot of these weren’t what I was hoping to see - more-so hoping to see people go and say things like “holy crap, I can’t believe I got caught up in that xenophobia and hatred and voted for him - from what I’ve heard, sounds like Trump’s going to be a disaster... maybe he wasn’t right about Muslims and Mexicans”…
