If there were an actual 'Leopards Eating People's Faces Party', I would vote for them. That sounds pretty cool, tbh.

This is why disasters overwhelm hospitals.
Hospitals, like armies, need to have "too many" people. Because when the shit hits the fan you need every possible amount of slack which comes of having "excess" staffing.
You aren't training/paying privates for peacetime.

Systems need redundancy. Making a system too lean is starving it. A lean system is a fragile system, a brittle system, one that can’t recover when it is dealt a blow.

An Irish proverb about groupthink is nuair a chacann gé, cacann siad go léir. It means “when one goose shits, they all do”

It actually is very important that you do things that you take pleasure in, regularly. That is part of how you survive the things that feel like they are going to destroy you.

And yeah if you're interested the Roman salute was not used by the Romans, it was invented by artists depicting classical scenes, was adopted by the Italian fascists (who themselves had a very poor grasp of history) and went via them into use by the Nazis. So it's all the same thing.

For the avoidance of any doubt, a Roman salute and a Nazi salute are the exact same thing and anyone arguing over nomenclature is either doing it in bad faith or high ignorant

Look a reality where the most miniscule Palestinian symbol is virulent antisemitism but a full on Nazi salute at the inauguration is an awkward gesture is just not fucking tenable

Under the July Column at Bastille is a crypt, and in that crypt are the remains of a bunch of 1830 revolutionaries AND EGYPTIAN MUMMIES... It turns out, during construction, someone accidentally tossed some mummies from Napoleon's looting in Egypt into the mix.

Oh and btw the solution to "not everyone has the time to dedicate to art, you classist" is not "AUTOMATE ALL THE THINGS AND DON'T PAY ARTISTS" it's "VALUE ALL LABOR SO THAT PEOPLE ARE PAID FAIRLY AND CAN LIVE AND MAKE ART IF THEY WANT YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE"
