you should read theory to learn cool new words like "scrunt." thank you, Friend Bishop.
does anyone know more about the Bishop/Coard divide that lead to the assassination of Bishop and thus the instability used as justification for the US invasion?
e: Coard gave an interview post jail time here. it seems like he and the military wanted more power with a "joint leadership" with Coard and Bishop equally in charge but Bishop (and, as the military saw it, his Cuban influencers) thought there should be one leader. this lead to Bishop's arrest. protests broke out and seemed to have freed Bishop and gotten into an army barracks. then the Coard faction responded by overtaking the protesters, captured Bishop and cabinet members and then executed them.
damn.
im sure it's being picked up now by right wing activists but from the kym article about it the beginning of it was a steam-chud made a curator page to just "not recommend" any game he found that SBI worked on and a SBI employee found it and posted about it on x/twitter. they claimed that steam should remove it for harassment. i can't read the proof and the poster is private now.

warren buffet also reportedly eats mcdonalds for breakfast. or did. this may have been a idea but it's like a pro-consumerist perversion. they're doing their part perpetuating the most successful, awful slop we have to offer. buffet in a calculated penny-pinching manner while trump does his thing.
I finished a book this morning! Washington Black - Esi Edugyan. Would recommend, gonna look for more from her.
And I have like 20 pages in another one i've been trying to finish for months now (The Hundred Years' War on Palestine: A History of Settler Colonialism and Resistance - Rashid Khalidi) that I want to finish by today. I'm annoyed at how long it's taken me already.
been reading a lot in my period of unemployment
like 10 years ago i said something to my dad about our family "getting away from the british" during the famine and he had no idea what i was talking about. like i was crazy conspiratorial or something.
Has Chapo ever talked about "Confederacy of Dunces"? I listened to the audiobook in December (a couple of times) and for the first time in a while I wanted to hear the gang's opinion on Ignatius J. Riley and his hijinks.
It's so embarrassing being addicted to this hobby with these people.
the entire subreddit is crying that the hardest difficulty is too hard! it's supposed to be!
so x/twitter is now nuking accounts that mention Hans Kristian Graebener is stonetoss/red panels? that's great.
