actually it is a failure of a date for the venue to be a graveyard and the content not getting drunk on fortified wine in that graveyard. if Jeremy can't be antisocial correctly i don't think we're cut out for it

that would be an idea if they were bombing combatants. 99% of 'tracks' they'd actually get from bombsites would be civilians and aid workers
the allegation that this same evidence of enriched uranium has been found in kosovo and fallujah, rather than buttressing this argument, makes it very suspect.
scenario a) Israel is using janky, badly depleted uranium or some secret neutron bombs---somewhat believable
scenario b) the US & Israel have been using novel nuclear weaponry in multiple wars for over 20 years without bragging, disclosing, leaking, or any other scientists bringing attention to it. in a world where DU munitions are known and quite passively acquiesced by nuclear safety/proliferation agencies, why would similarly low-scale devices imagined by this investigation need to be secret?
i'm more amenable to this indicating a misinterpretation of evidence of DU weaponry or even under-studied effects of extreme bomb saturation & destruction in modern urban areas. I assume "natural" measurements for amounts of background uranium were not taken in places where the soil & buildings are turned out and blasted into the air very often

DEATH to "switserland" poncy fuckers putting 'BE' for Bern on their fucking license plates when that should CLEARLY mean BELGIUM. very funny the indoor yurt was featured too
i object to "building" a hierarchical system but not any existing hierarchies like an apartheid colony or cishet patriarchy
why didn't the aus/nz copies of Taskmaster just do 6 contestants for even teams? also another professional funnyperson on stage would compensate for the lack of greg davies. these stand-in blokes don't have an eighth of that welshman's power and stamina
mine does this quite often, the fan needs to realign after inactivity i guess. i'm not worried about it, when my old fan broke it was whirring loudly all the time before falling off entirely

AHAHAHAHAHA
that depends how far you're taking it, simply making the head of government appointed by congress wouldn't do anything. fix apportionment & the electoral process and you'd start shifting things, more or less just to a more efficient democrat dictatorship in the short term, basically any act to make the electoral process more equal benefits them.
some third parties could sneak in if all the election bribes were dispensed with as well
and you should provide me with a good one to read! I've always thought it was weird a conductor was viewed as in 'charge' of people who are all using sheet music but I also know that a central coordinator that tells everyone to start and shit is probably important
how much influence does a conductor have? how do they interact with the other artists artistically and economically? i would love to peer into this a little bit
true archvillainy requires the wisdom of volcel juche
hoping for some basic, short answers from the socialist perspective before i have to look at big books like literally called "The National Question in Yugoslavia"
for context i understand basically nothing about post-ottoman developments in the balkans, so feel free to start with what the fuck a 'Yugoslavia' was supposed to be before socialism too.
thanks in advance you wise Hexbeariens
Pantjikent is in the Zeravshan valley, and served as a capital for sogdiana at a few points. notice the elements of buddhist, iranian, and turkic/chinese influence
look at my recommends dawg why do i even bother going onto that site
i really hoped it was exaggerated but damn, comrades. this a british movie with british sympathies and unforgivably british casting
these fuckers didn't even try! yankee accents standing in for the french, i could accept, so long as they were different from the motherfucking english. but HALF of the french characters are fucking british?!?!?!
under spoilers for space, there is not anything to be 'spoiled' from this:

comically miscast historical personages who we've got dozens of portraits of:
Alexander of Russia, unaccountably not bald
Francis of Austria, unaccountably fat
Robespierre played by a man who was made to look exactly like Danton???
and the salt in the wound is of course, The Duellists. a film of infinitely superior historical calibre and consistency from the SAME fucking director.
character assassination of the ComitΓ© de Salut Public (typical of a fucking englishman)
caricature of both Thermidor and Brumaire, which you wouldn't think is possible as they were of utterly separate political persuasions, but of course they did that
a calculated removal of the Revolutionary Calendar
no effort whatsoever, in fact intentional mystification around the nature and sympathies of the imperial nobility, trying to play it like it was a return of the Ancien Regime
i did like that Talleyrand was shown to be a devil on the shoulder, but it was not treated with that he was a traitorous sleaze
finally, things i liked:
1792 issue french uniforms appeared in limited edition at Toulon
1798 issue austrian did as well, though apparently only for voltiguers/jaegers at austerlitz?
Thomas-Alexandre Dumas appeared in multiple scenes, but was not named which is super fucking awful
Josephine had a prominent role. and yes, we could do a whole additional post about how anachronistic the women's costumes were, but she generally looked very cute and i'm grasping at straws for things to appreciate here
we stan a volcel queen so dedicated to her oath she physically beat up every potential suitor
just as it should be. even if Marx ain't a relation i'm sure he's a bit thirsty down there
