"narco-terrorist" as a phrase is so phenomenal. combining the two biggest, decades-long foreign policy failures since the end of the cold war. i'm sure it'll work.

saw Heathers a few days ago and going in, i had this awful fear that this show that i loved as a kid, that i knew more from YouTube animatics than its actual staging, would be much less than i remembered
but nope! still had a blast. cast is great. songs great. audience excitement through the roof.

very tight script that has a lot of fun playing with the conventions of a Predator film. i think my biggest complaint is that the heavy use of CGI often leaves scenes looking pretty flat. very little pops out of the frame.

pretty close to canon for me. RFK leaves Vietnam, passes a supercharged version of Unruh's FAP while doing integration, and then just obliterates Reagan and Rockefeller as political forces. Entire Dixiecrat movement rendered pointless when George Wallace finishes third in his home state of Alabama.

![one of her guests had wondered whether the statue "could be offered to [Idi] Amin, the president of Uganda, who currently wants to erect a Hitler monument in Kampala. Although he is black, he is an ardent admirer of Hitler and it seems to me that one should not have any scruples about selling to a Negro when one is not blessed with worldly goods. . . . We thought it a very good idea and it will not cost anything to try."36 There is no direct evidence that roost sold Amin the work, although the file she kept on the sculpture contains the business card of Gerhard Engel, Hitler's former army adjutant and Wehrmacht lieutenant general; Engel was then the head of a company selling German arms abroad, including to Africa, suggesting that she planned to make inquiries through him.37 Over the years, Troost sold other artifacts she owned from the Third Reich period, including letters from Hitler and Göring 138](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4xwxmnh6mu62j322mglp7tt6/bafkreigonko3lkj4voxi5qlia5xpsuntwj5cccrpb4qsgkxbu6vkz23hfq@jpeg)

despite being wholly unrepentant and ensconced in hitler’s inner circle, troost received a slap on the wrist
she was able to produce records that she helped a few jewish ppl she was personally friendly with, even as she used that same influence to ruin and terrorize others, particularly competitors
