This is like saying Betamax will dominate the home video market in 2007. Stupid to the point of being insulting. How dare you speak to me this way?

Joe Biden didn't break the rail strike. The Railway Labor Act broke the rail strike. It was passed and signed into law in the 1920s.

Joe Biden's admin DID pressure the freight lines into bargaining with the unions and they all made updated CBAs.

I wrote a boring paper about this.

DISCO ELYSIUM is PLANESCAPE: TORMENT for people who have not read a book in the last calendar year but have watched a series of 2 hour video essays on YouTube

I just saw someone wishing there was a fantasy DISCO ELYSIUM.

Reopen the schools

I feel like we get really hung up on "Was the Biden economy good for people or not" which I don't think is the right question. The real confounding thing that I have yet to see anyone have a good answer for was "Why did people think the Biden economy was worse than the Trump 1 economy?"

Some low-level maga influencer is currently raising money off the fact that a guy punched him after said maga influencer approached the guy and his husband and accused them of planning to molest their infant child bc they were gay. maga is completely degenerate

Talk shit, get hit, it’s the only language these animals can speak

The thing is you have a Secretary of Defense who quite literally does not think germs are real, he explicitly rejects germ theory

The question to ask isn't "why did pete do (x)," it's "why did roger wicker vote to confirm a guy who literally doesn't think germs are real"

A text message from God that says “Abraham!” and the reply “Here I am”

Donald Trump somehow found a guy to run the DOD who doesn't think it's important to the army to keep soldiers from getting sick.

Pedocon theory remains undefeated

But because there isn’t a civil war and both sides have an interest in pretending there’s no conflict at the time and never was one afterwards, and especially because Theo ultimately takes over the whole thing and leaves his kids in power, everything gets hushed up and we get the official story

Anyway my own theory of this (with a few but a minority of scholars) is that Theo wins a skirmish, seizes the moment to have his army acclaim him as emperor in the absence of an eastern ruler, and then dares Gratian to do anything about it, and Gratian fumes and sulks for a year before saying “FINE”

Later Gratian *does* acknowledge him. But it still appears very frosty, and with little cooperation.

And Theodosius’ own propaganda will claim that Gratian made him emperor but also weirdly downplays his role at the same time? It feels forced IMO

There are no contemporary records to fill in the blanks. But we do have sources from Gratian’s court the next year in 379 and they *completely* ignore the existence of Theodosius. No mention. Probably no coins. Silence, even in all the venues that normally acknowledge co-emperors

The story in our sources is:

August 378; Valens killed by Goths

Late 378: Theodosius, a completely undistinguished and only recently rehabilitated general of probably modest rank, is active near the front & wins a minor victory

January 379: Gratian makes Theodosius co-emperor

This is… weird
