Who is your favorite historical figure and why?

interesting question....

Hmm If I were to think about historical figures only in India, I would gravitate towards Rani Laxmibai or Netaji Subhash Chandra bose. Rani Laxmibai because of her courage perseverance and the sheer abundance of strength and resilience she possessed. And Netaji because well, not only did he give rise to the Indian Army, he was a valiant figure and I believe in him more than I do in Gandhi, and also because well, ami bangali. We've just got that radical streak in our genes.

And If I were to think of any other historical figure who I find to be interesting(not favourite per se because like, I was never there, to have a favourite I should be either a part of the culture they influenced or be connected to the culture in some way, which I'm not by a long shot)

Marie Antoinette, a few months back I watched a video dispelling not just the rumour about the "let them eat cake" but also provided several other highly debated but pretty interesting points. I think she was pretty misunderstood which, as she was a woman, was not entirely surprising. She's not my favourite, but she is definitely someone I would like to further study if given the chance.

I'll link the video here.

it's extremely critical that you see the photo of the perp walk for luigi mangione as being propaganda. i've seen so many people wave it off and instead fawn over his looks. and trust me, i know it ended up being kind of pathetic and weird - but please don't brush it off as a "modelling opportunity" for him. it's a fucking terrifying message the police are sending.

i want to make a few comparisons here, in case you're not from the US or familiar with why the perp walk thing is something to pay attention to. just to set the groundwork for why this is a purposeful, unusual, and cruel act by the nyc police - for why this is not a common occurrence and for why that matters.

the prosecution alleges the show of force is due to the charge of "terrorism." for comparison, in june 2015, tsarnaev was found guilty for the boston marathon bombing, which killed 3 people and injured hundreds. his actions are considered to be an act of domestic terrorism. i have spent the last hour looking through google for pictures of similar to mangione's perp walk - and so far, i have found zero. i also just do not personally remember a moment like that, despite living in boston at the time.

they allege that luigi is a stone-cold killer who carried out a longterm plan, making him particularly dangerous. again for comparison: in nyc, recently cory martin was found guilty of the killing of brandy odom. the murder was planned and premeditated to steal insurance money. and yet no staged perp walk. why didn't her life matter enough for a "show of force"?

but mangione gets paraded by a veritable army of police officers as if he is a rabid animal. for a single citizen who allegedly killed one other single citizen, the "largest perp walk ever" occurs.

so what is the "strong message" that the mayor and the police were trying to send here? the mayor speaks as if mangione is already convicted of terrorism. there is a very thin number of people who feel threatened by the CEO's death. none of us felt like mangione needs to be under massive armed guard.

the message is that you shouldn't resist. they are trying to "make an example" of him - that if you behave badly and kill a single rich person, you'll be treated as if you killed hundreds of people. you will be treated worse than a man who was found guilty of terrorism. you will be considered guilty without trial. the message is that the rich are a protected class, and you cannot touch them without massive punishment. they are trying to prevent a revolution by showing dominance and force against you.

the message is that the police are a puppet of the wealthy and that the law is not equally applied across class disparity. it is "some are more equal than others." it is "one life is more precious than another."

the show of force wasn't for luigi. it was for us. it was a warning. they are trying to remind us who is really in control.

It was a while back, but the bees were in defensive mode. When we entered the old place, they literally swarmed us. I think my index finger got stung by a bee.

have you ever been stung by a bee?

I FORGOT HOW UNCOMFORTABLE THE SWORD CARD EPISODE IS.

Oh God how is this dub going to handle the Illusion vs Possessed Rika? I mean as awful as that one dub was, at least it changed the script to say Illusion showed Rika what she feared to paralyze Rika, vs the original "true love stopped the Sword".

I mean if it was a one sided puppy love crush thing on Rika's part, but I'm starting to remember a vague scene in the manga that implies it might not have been one sided if my memory is right.
