as much as i enjoy seeing the class politics discussions around silco and his actions as a chembaron and a revolutionary, i do think that a lot of people condemning his actions (which we should condemn) miss the part where like.

it did work

like that was a pretty significant part of the show. it didnt pan out because he loved his daughter but silco's methods very much did get zaun as an independent nation, the real question is if it was worth it (which we'll never know bc jinx shot him)

Folks, may we present: trump tariffs

Like Mand’alor Din Djarin who is completely politically incompetent is very funny and good but what about Mand’alor Din Djarin who just comes out of nowhere and absolutely slaughters (metaphorical) these career politicians across the negotiating table bc he has 20 years of experience cutting contracts with the worst and most unbearable people in the galaxy. And he had to figure out ways to say I Am Not Fucking Doing That without ever technically breaking his code of honor by violating his contract or whatever.

sooooooo, are they gonna do something? why are we trading for defensive players? surely they know you have to score to win games, right? and surely they know that they haven't been doing it lately.

They also have to know that one of their star forwards is out for the season, right??? right???? And maybe we need to replace him, yeah???

Normally I try to speak about something that comes to mind once per day, a small commentary on the ways to the new era. But today the sun is warm, the wind is cool, and the birds sing proudly in the trees above the studio.

I'll instead take a moment today to tell you a story:

I was born in the mines, but I was one of the last people to remember childhood there. It's been a while since Sanjak has become free, and since then I have had the great joy to see children born and raised who have no knowledge of our time underground.

This is a source of great joy, but it is also a rift. They will come to me and they will ask me questions of what it was like when I was their age and I will tell them: I grew up in the mines. Things were different there.

They, too, learn history. They ask questions of the nobility that reveal a lack of understanding for the concept. The hierarchy of blood is foreign to them. To explain it is always an interesting trial with myself: I would deny none who seek knowledge the ability to find it, but to explain them faithfully is a trial against myself. (The noble would say they do not view themselves as better, merely suited for different things. But when the things they are suited to deserve luxury, and the things we are suited to are for the dirt, how is that not an assignment of value? This is not a nuance children foreign to the concept typically understand.)

Teaching the children of the mines is always a process. We tell them of the place we lived for so long, what it was like, the floods, the isolation, the denial of basic sunlight. One year, a group of children took it upon themselves to learn this trial by experience, and I remember holding a young child as they sobbed into my arms telling me of the horrors of the dark. "I know of this, dear." I said. "This is what we fought to save you from."

I do not blame them the curiosity but it is odd to feel such a combination of relief and horror. The children do not know of the mines, and this is the future we fought so hard to see. Because the children do not know but see the way it weighs on us, they sometimes take an empathetic leap in order to understand us better, and in the pain they experience at seeing a fraction of what we had to endure, I find myself drawn to tears about what was taken from me.

There many things to take away from this, I suppose. The first we did was to make it harder for them to access the old mineshafts. The rest I find myself thinking on on days like these, when the sun is warm and mild and the wind blows softly and the old horrors seem a distant nightmare.

i love 3gs but there are some things that are. missing. we heard the shimmer’s side of the story and pieces of 3gs’ side but we’ve never seen the full side of what happened BEFORE they broke through the shell.

we get an explanation from the prime shimmer but it feels like some details were skimmed over.

exactly WHAT happened before they broke through the shell?? HOW did they break through the shell???

i’m not saying that their spaceship COULDN’T have broke through if but i find it weird 3gs didn’t even mention it. i know story relevance n all that but i need to know the fill story. what the hell

If anyone's still like "Why should I have to do bullshit busywork writing assignments for class? Why shouldn't I use ChatGPT? I don't think my professor even reads the assignments, I'm certainly not getting usable feedback on them.", and your teacher has never made this clear to you: the reason for the writing assignments that are some variant of 'Explain this process' or 'Describe one of the reasons for this event' or 'Give two possible paths for this reaction' is to help you check your own understanding of the lectures and readings.

If you try to explain something, and you get to the third step and your brain goes ??? or 'And now we perform sorcerous incantations' or 'The British!', then you know there's a missed step in the reading and you need to go back and check on that. Or the assigned readings don't cover it, and you need to look something up. Or you're genuinely in the weeds about why this was such a big goddamned deal for everyone, and you need to have you hand up when the teacher says "Any questions about the readings?" at the beginning of class or whatever.

This is how we go from passively absorbing information to being able to retain it, understand what we've been told, and synthesize new ideas and theories from it. This is how we go from memorizing facts to understanding the underlying causes and effects of things.

i will say it: warlock would be the best class in real life hands fucking down. at second level you can get an invocation that lets you read every language. at third level you can get an invocation that lets you spend eight hours reading as an alternative to sleep. i don't care if my asexual ass has to suck off a shoggoth in a maccas parking lot if i could get all the benefits of sleep by going on a wikipedia binge it would solve literally all of my problems. y'ai yog-sothoth come get ya juice.
