nice work @lucavi.bsky.social

Dr. Olivet saying, "That's the typical response for a family annihilator."

They use the term "family annihilator" a lot in this episode and I kept imagining a twitter poster with the handle "Tha Family Annihilator".

Jack McCoy from the back. Subtitle "Right. Hang 'Em High McCoy."

The old man from the I Think You Should Leave car focus group saying, "Oh, my God, he admit it!"

Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.

In fact the people who would have benefited from hindsight are Franz von Papen and Paul von Hindenburg!!

I mean it helps a little in that the action itself becomes clearer. Sometimes the weapons move so quickly it's difficult to understand when a touch has occurred.

All Olympic fencing is nonsense, combat-wise. They're sport events and like all sports they have a bunch of quasi-sensible but ultimately arbitrary rules.

Yeah the various HEMA weapons are very interesting but I'm more into cycling and weightlifting now.

Then you can fence épée, which has no right of way and is much more conservative/slower because of double touches.

It's reinforcing the idea that landing a counter-attack isn't particularly wise if the attack already in motion against you is still going to hit (and potentially kill) you.

Yeah when I started (sabre) fencing I had very fast hands and my instinct was always to counter-attack. I kept losing points (and matches) because even though my attack landed first, I didn't initiate first.

BTW this is why directing sabre and foil requires you to have the sense of The Flash and you can direct épée while watching reels on Insty.

Realized this isn't technically true because if you successfully counter-attack and the initial attack is subsequently defeated or abandoned, you can still score. But in a situation where the attack and counter-attack both land, the attack has right of way even if the counter-attack landed first.

I have not been able to fence in over 10 years due to annihilating all the cartilage in my right knee with years of balestra lunges so now I can just be an Appreciator.

Right of Way in Foil Fencing YouTube video by ExpertVillage Leaf Group

Right of way is used in sabre and foil, but not in épée.

Right of way determines attack priority in fencing. The principle is that once an attack starts, that attack has right of way until it is defeated (by missing, abandonment, by being parried, or by "tempo"). If the opponent initiates a counter-attack before the attack is defeated, they cannot score.

BTW my lady got me tickets to the Men's Sabre Final in '28 and I'm ready to freak tf out.

"The LA Olympics are bad and the tickets are outrageously expensive." Yeah they're bad but Americans don't give a shit about fencing so finals tickets are are comparable to a popular Live Nation show.

This is cool and good but it will not help people understand right of way.

There's a lot to criticize in how the SPD and KPD behaved during Weimar, but both parties were very aware of what the NSDAP and Hitler were about. The NSDAP never formed (or were part of) a coalition because even if they had allies in other parties, they never had the support of the SPD & KPD.

While you don't "gotta hand it" to the SPD, they didn't vote for the Enabling Act and the Reichstag President, Hermann Göring, hand-waved the pesky requirement of 2/3 quorum to pass constitutional amendments. Kind of hard to call it a failure of the legislature when the body was entirely undermined.
