Authenticity/Timeliness: 1/4

Emotionality: 2/4

Other: Joke (J+)

Total: 3/12 (J+) Information Quality: Poor Consideration: Likely disinformation from an AI regurgitating an Onion article. This post is clearly satire.

Explanation: The information provided is likely from this Onion article. Despite the evident satire, it appears that cultural consumption of different kinds of earth is not unheard of (1; 2). The first citation states that people may eat rocks because of anemia, GI distress, or cravings. However, health consequences of this behaviour are not well known.

Lower scores do not necessarily indicate mis- or disinformation, only that the way the information is provided should be considered critically. Always maintain skepticism and complete further research in all cases. Visit this blog for further details on rating system. I may make mistakes sometimes.

they told me not to eat rocks but google has my back

Broke: vampires are vulnerable to the trappings of Christianity only, particularly Catholicism, no matter how dubiously applied. (See: Van Helsing's Communion wafer grouting).

Woke: vampires are vulnerable to sincere faith of all kinds, and atheist vampire-hunters need to believe very strongly in the Power of Friendship or their love of Star Trek to get by.

Bespoke: vampires are vulnerable to the faith that they followed when they were alive, and hunters tracking down an ancient vampire are obliged to learn about Neo-Babylonian theology or Middle Palaeolithic bear cults.

An archaeological look at the history of games through East Asia

As an archaeologist and historian of gameplay and material culture, I’d be delighted to provide you with a brief overview of the history of games in East Asia and beyond the Western canon. Games have been an integral part of human culture for centuries, serving as a source of entertainment, education, and social interaction. Let’s dive into the rich gaming traditions of East Asia and explore some…

I think Aventio and Screwtio shippers shouldn't fight. After all, Ratio has two hands!

That's right. Two hands.

One for his chalk.

One for his codex.

Both of which he's holding in an embarrassed death grip as they chat away with each other about him.

I like to think that when they got along, Brissot and Camille sang Revolution Songs together (they're not drunk, they're just...Brissot and Camille together in a room).

Also, the song is VERY loosely translated from this song, made in 1791. Robespierre was featured in songs as far back as that! Because the song seems to pursue rhyming over other elements, I also chose rhyming over a more direct translation.

Another also: thank you @anotherhumaninthisworld for several posts and links, which helped me figure out Brissot more easily, alongside discovering that he's like *ridiculously* short lol

Okay but what if Bucky gets found out by HYDRA and Zola after capture because Dugan and Gabe are always ushering him to the back away from possible notice, to the point it backfires and draws suspicion. When they pick him out HYDRA orders him to recite the Lord's Prayer and Bucky recites what he always remembers Steve saying. The Prayer he made sure to remember before he was shipped out just in case something like this happened.

Only... Steve is Catholic. The Prayer that Bucky's heard Steve and some of his fellow soldiers recite is different from the one a Protestant would recite and his dog tags say he's a Protestant. He didn't even know they said the Prayer differently.

Homosocial – homoromantic – homoerotic – homosexual

A lot of people who talk about 18th century queerness treat these concepts as existing on a linear scale of "straight" to "gay", or as a progression of increasing queerness.

But that kind of framing isn't accurate. There's no line that we can draw here beyond which things become definitively queer. There were homosexual acts that had very little queerness to them, and homoromantic relationships that were fundamentally queer without ever (to our knowledge) straying beyond the emotional.

I actually think it was Rashid who put those Fred Stein photos in the file he's sick of their shit

can we all remember to just say 'oh no thank you, i dont like that kind of food' but apply that logic and rules to shipping and letting other people ship again

While personally the way the game presents non-binary people is not the way I would do it—I wouldn't go so far as use this terminology in a fantasy setting, but it's also NOT unplausible—I WILL defend it with my life. Including a non-binary character who hasn't figured themself out before being presented to the audience will always be jarring in this political climate, I doubt you can present it in a "delicate" way that wouldn't be "too much in your face."

Second Ides of March post! Do y'all ever think about how during/after the Battle of Yorktown, McHenry rushed to Laurens and said:

"Here is Caesar but where is Alexander?"

To which Laurens replied "He is safe."

in regards to hamilton being a drama queen and telling jefferson that caesar was the greatest man, i saw someone speculate that he might've been thinking of john (if we assume they jokingly called him caesar more than once). not sure how likely it is but it still breaks my heart.

my boys. my dead gay sons. obsessed with their classical references of course.

out of context over here but this make me laugh everytime i think of it so im posting it lmao

That Maxime is in a world of his own, for sure. (I give you under the cut, my personal theory as to why Robespierre never married...he only ever had one true love in his life lol)

you ever open a book and start reading and immediately think thaaaat sounds like bullshit
