If They Want To Have An ONT, Let It Begin HereHowdy folks! Thursday night. Maybe it's time for a little history?
I'm Not Sure If We Nuked Them Too Much Or Not Enough I suppose the Japanese can be excused from knowing much about America in 1861, but how do they explain this?

Don't understand? Oh, well, I'll let the incomparable @DreadnoughtHoliday explain: Join us as we travel back to the Sino-Russian war, and listen spellbound to the saga of the Russian First and Second Pacific Fleets BTW, @DreadnoughtHoliday is one of the best accounts on Twitter. Funny as hell, and interesting, if you like naval stuff. Jesus Dies For This?
On Easter Sunday, after the services in the gorgeous Duomo are complete, a wooden tower covered in firecrackers is lit, producing a fountain of fireworks and sparks. It’s called the “Scoppio del Carro,” or the “Explosion of the Cart,” and it’s a custom that has its origins the 11th century. But let me back up a bit. During the First Crusade in 1097, a Florentine soldier was rewarded for his service with three flints from the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. He brought them back to his home city, and during Easter it became traditional to light torches with these flints to be paraded through Florence. Later, the torches were replaced with a large candle lit with that “holy fire” carried on a cart through the city. Today, those same flints are used to light coals carried on the cart. Loved Italy when we were there a few years back. We only did Rome, I want to go back and see the rest. If you get a chance, the BBC series James May: Our Man In Italy is excellent (as is the earlier Our Man In Japan)
How then can conservatives respond? To begin, the right needs to increase its menu of political options. Instead of staying on every 17, the right must prepare to double down on occasion, especially when the left least expects it. It must develop a bigger political bankroll, represented by the ability to utilize power at the local, state, and federal levels, as well as greater political capabilities, including peaceful protest and community organizing. The right must stop treating each political battle as a tabula rasa, unaffected by what happened before or what happens after. When the right is on a hot streak, it should keep pushing. Finally, the right should stop allowing the left to escalate without political cost. When leftists take to the streets, engage in legal extortion, commit economic blackmail, or otherwise disregard the boundaries of respectable civil politics, the right should not reward it in any way. Make it clear to the leftists that they have hit the table limit. Sounds good, but the problem as always is that the GOPe doesn't want to win anything. They'd be pleased as punch to be crotch sniffers of a leftist communist dictatorship, as long as they were allowed to be in DC to sniff. Less Popular Than A Prostitute With The Pox Bud Light: you can't GIVE it away OutKick founder Clay Travis did a bit of a social experiment at an event in Tennessee, and the results were hilarious. What, he wondered, would happen if you provided free beer to people and gave them a choice between 3 different brands, including Bud Light? The results were not good for Anheuser-Bush. Free beer. What red-blooded TN partygoer turns down free beer? Apparent every single one of them if they have to be seen with Dylan Mulvaney’s favorite brew. Nobody wants to touch the stuff, at least if others can see the can. I spent last weekend at our annual gathering of friends, about 90 of us, who get together each year to turn money into noise. After a long day of shooting everything from select fire ARs to short barrel semi-auto shotguns (that was fun for everything except my shoulder) to pistols of all types to .50cal Barretts, much beer is consumed. Everyone brings beer and dumps it into community coolers. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY brought any Bud Light. There were a couple of orphan cans left over at the venue, and that's it. I had one in a moment of questioning my masculinity for not putting more than a dozen rounds through the shot gun. Fun, but man did it kick.
Cook County prosecutor quits after 20 years And yet, I’m leaving. Why could that be? The simple fact is that this State and County have set themselves on a course to disaster. And the worst part is that the agency for whom I work has backed literally every policy change that had the predicable, and predicted, outcome of more crime and more people getting hurt. Related:
But boy, those so-called “urban food deserts” sure are a mystery, right? Must be racism.
This is not a fandom that I'm a part of, so I likely don't know the entire story, but I've seen enough outrage at Wizards of the Coast lately to know it should be concerning to the company. WOTC owns brands like D&D and Magic:The Gathering. Lately they have been downright hositile to their fanbase, from changing many of the open world rules that D&D has long cherished, to inserting all kinds of woke bullshit into their games to this.
Over the past week or so, a YouTuber known as oldschoolmtg has been uploading videos of himself opening packs of the new, unreleased Magic: The Gathering set: March of the Machine: The Aftermath. He uploaded three videos, which were widely shared on Reddit and MTG communities, even making headlines on IGN and other sites. He alleged to have 22 boxes, and uploaded multiple videos last week. It’s estimated that oldschoolmtg leaked about 75% of the entire set, or about 36 of the set’s 50 cards. The set is scheduled to be released in just a few weeks on May 12, with “official” reveals set to begin at the start of the month.
