I love the bit near the end of Thud! where, after the climactic battle an important item has gone missing in the confusion. Vimes thinks for a moment then realises, "hang on, Nobby Nobbs is here. Mystery solved."

I'm now amusing myself with a headcanon where John Brown read this editorial and immediately began planning the raid on Harper's Ferry.

The magical fusion drive in The Expanse which allows convenient brachistochronic space travel is called the Epstein Drive after its creator, Solomon Epstein.
It's very much a name that has aged like milk.

Yeah, and even if the ship is moving slowly, a vessel of that mass still has *a lot* of momentum.

I guess they *did* get away with murdering the Gracchi brothers, so that's two on the scoreboard.
Cicero did get shafted for executing Catalina's co-conspirators tho, despite holding dictatorial power at the time. But he did bounce back after a few years in exile, so I don't know if that one counts

Which death are you referring to? Cos Caesar's assassins very much received consequences. One of them even got his head cut off and used as a football.

The tricky part is getting through the jungle primary, but once you're through that, there is a path to victory. Especially since next year is going to see a lot of traditionally GOP seats in play.
I wouldn't wish the political limelight on my friends, but I don't know you, sooo :P

I dunno. Again, caveat that I am a random who doesn't live in your district, but I think a left-wing challenger could have a shot at ousting her in the primary.
From a cursory bit of reading, I get the impression there are a lot of attack lines from the left (PAC money, Gaza, trans rights, etc).

Have you considered running against her in the primary? I'm just some dickhead on the internet, so take my opinion for what it's worth, but I honestly think you'd be good.
I don't mean to come across as a naive wank, but good things only happen if people fight for them (signed, captain Obvious).

The other thing is that I don't think people believe GOPers anymore when they throw these accusations around. They've played the victim so much that a Dem candidate could literally be planning The Purge and nobody would believe the GOP when they shout about it.

They're in a bind. They need a lot of this material for the war against Ukraine, but they also need foreign currency to prop up their ailing economy, not to mention the prestige hit if they drop out of the arms trade entirely.
If other countries can't buy their arms from you, they'll go elsewhere.

There's a common understanding that a lot of Union soldiers signed up to preserve the Union rather than liberate slaves, and their attitudes shifted as they saw the brutality of slavery first-hand.
But there's also the factor that for 4 years, at least 10% of your comrades were vocally anti-slavery.

Excellent, I have discovered a new favourite song. Thanks for sharing these lyrics.
Also, I learned that approximately *10%* of the entire Union army during the US civil war was made up of German immigrants, most of them exiles from the failed revolutions of 1848.

Yeah, an ICE officer shot and hospitalised a woman who was following their vehicle to keep tabs on them. Had she died, would that have been enough to push people over into "bloody revolution" territory? Who knows.
As always, the tipping point will be invisible in advance and obvious in retrospect.

I dunno, but Galadriel and Celebrimbor were first cousins once removed I think, so Tolkien would probably count that as incestuous.

I don't know which shops you were getting your knives from, but my experience is that most big supermarkets in Scotland will have kitchen knives on display, but with security tags, and you just need to show ID at the till.
