You have to goon your shit to the orange tijuana bible in the dune era because they destroyed internet porn in the smutlerian jihad

To my knowledge there is yet to be any depictions found of male rulers in Minoan Crete. The assumption that there must have been a male power structure that left no evidence of itself but which did leave evidence of female rulers seems unfounded to me

Minoan Crete probably was but that’s the only one there’s any real evidence for

My good friend Stevie, he’s in the GOP…

ANNOUNCER:
in the first round, the Greater Los Angeles Area Cuddle selects…

Lilly Demonia (It/they) from Santa Cruz state!

ETHEREAL NONBINARY IN AN ILL FITTING ROSS SUIT, WEARING AN LA NEW ERA HAT, PEAKING THE PODIUM MIC:

It’s an honor to be here, and I’m excited to take my talents to SoCal

“Jail-No-Bail” was literally the policy of SNCC and the Freedom Riders, who resisted state violence way more effectively than any contemporary activists

The day someone served me soup without mentioning they’d gotten the ingredients out of a dumpster was the day I stopped being an anarchist

Theresa the Mid Bohemian Queen from Kingdom Come: Deliverance

She’ll never be her

Princess first for ease, then Sam in the stocks

Ouppies

Yeah it’s the guy who made the original tweet

I just eat little spoonfuls of the weed oil straight out of the jar

The other name for the Lingua Franca was Sabir which meant something like “Known”

Oh I was referring to the massacre at Schletz, which the article says only involved two close relatives. If you can find a full version of the Nature article I’d love to see it, because how related the victims were obviously implies a lot

How do you even find 200 unrelated individuals to behead in 5000 BC Austria?

Executive authority, get to reap the benefits of handling relatively small crises, playing to a smaller audience

The downhill bike race sequence is sublime

Whole grain bread-based diets would’ve also pushed the limits of human tolerance for insoluble fiber

Maybe the best version of the Oversexed Psycho archetype. Also I started barking when she gained weight in season 2

Actually, the overarching theme of the Grobusverse seems to be that euhumans are far crueler than their posthuman peers…

Based on “The Envoy and The Warrior” it’s like a 50/50 chance they do

I never would’ve thought of the Nitrogen Blockade or astronauts shooting each other with piezoelectric spring guns, or half the other things in All Errors Are My Own

It’s a bunch of really really good ideas attached to a totally unplayable game and I’m pretty happy that I bought all the books

I mean they did, we know they did, that’s why armies during the 30 Years War were an order of magnitude larger than they were during the Middle Ages

It’s not effortless but it’s something every state figured out. By contrast, supplying soldiers in the field by means other than foraging was physically impossible prior to the invention of the locomotive. This was baked into the pre-19th century understanding of warfare

The answer is that you lie about paying them and don’t even bother trying to feed them

Calling out large numbers of soldiers is an easy first step for a developing state, producing enough cash to pay them and supplies to feed them are exponentially more difficult but that doesn’t stop anyone
