    The Ottomans, the Mamluks, and the Battle for the Muslim World: While the Ottoman Empire expanding into Christian Europe, it also faced east, toward the vast, wealthy, and dynamic Muslim world. That made a clash with the Mamluks of Egypt inevitable.

  3. The American political system bears an increasing resemblance to an unserviced Porta Potty. These things always stink - we expect a certain odor - but they don't have to be covered in shit

  4. Defensive players of the year shouldn’t get routinely roasted by a guy who literally can’t jump, Preseason Zion, Jusuf Nurkic, and anybody else with a few moves

  5. My hottest take, regardless of topic, is that Rudy Gobert is insanely defensively overrated and gets cooked by every skilled and/or athletic big man he matches up with

  6. Political systems are built on trust. If you have to think about the mechanics of complex systems all the time, it's absolutely paralyzing.

  7. My Iowa take: it's not really any more screwed up than usual, but events of the past few years have, for a variety of reasons, reduced overall confidence in various aspects of the political system. It's harder for folks to take things on trust.

  10. The Warhammer and Warhammer 40k universes are incredible fun, I love them dearly, and I want more of them

  11. All I want right now is Total War: Warhammer 3, is that so much to ask

  12. I was about twelve rows up from the end zone at the 2006 National Championship game when Young dashed in for that last touchdown, and his performance that day was the craziest thing I've ever seen in sports. Just superhuman.

  15. In conclusion Americans should spend a little more time thinking about politics in the rest of the world, in the past, or literally anything to broaden their frame of reference from ignorant exceptionalism

  16. Oligarchs are often really good at convincing the broader public that they deserve to be in charge, that they’re more virtuous, capable, qualified, or favored by the divine; it’s all ideology, and it works great. Bloomberg!

  17. Throw some cash at a worthy cause or two, fund some temples and churches and festivals, and in return you get to run shit. That’s been a viable model for durable oligarchy for a long time, the United States isn’t special

  18. Oligarchs often do things that are in a broader public interest or for the benefit of a broader public; that was, quite literally, the basis of the social contract for urban government in the Roman world

  19. We’ve had lots of oligarchic political structures and figures even within theoretically republican or democratic forms of government

  20. Not sure why this is even a discussion but by any reasonable historical or comparative standard Michael Bloomberg is literally the definition of an oligarch
