funny the Hapsburgs were the most powerful dynasty for centuries, had the first truly global empire, acquired untold weath and power and the only thing they’re popularly known for now is inbreeding. Not to do the “Avatar has no memes” take but this is a hilariously shitty legacy

It is interesting watching those who agree with Chris Rufo on everything but don’t scream it, for social reasons, try to square DeSantis with their desire to be all things to all people. Here is Nellie Bowles saying book bans don’t matter because kids don’t read in school anyway.

The aim of this kind of contrarianism is to trick people into thinking there is some greater meaning to draw from something as banal as police brutality. Who’s saying they know “exactly why” police beat a man to death? It doesn’t matter

This is more or less how the influenza pandemic ended… a combo of herd immunity and countries just not talking about it anymore to avoid damaging the war effort. Plus an absolutely devastating and probably still-undercounted death toll
