A lot of the early (1789) revolutionaries were from the nobility and even the clergy. Many of the reactionaries were up and coming bourgeois who were about to make their way into the nobility. Sorry Marx, you got a few things right, but that one was an oversimplification.

The vast majority of the victims of the reign of terror were commoners. The nobility were underrepresented at the guillotine, besides a few obvious high-profile cases.

It appears as though Robespierre legitimately lost his mind at some point. He attempted to introduce a “cult of the supreme being” with himself as high priest that focused on adhering to his own idea of virtue. Anyone not virtuous enough, which was effectively literally everyone else, was liable to be executed.

Early in the revolutionary wars, the revolutionaries had arrested so many people that the Paris jails were super overcrowded. Some people didn’t want the armies to leave Paris for the front lines because maybe all those jailed people would break out and cause trouble. So Marat proposed that they reduce the incarcerated population… by killing them all. September 1789 was a bad month to have been a petty thief in Paris.

So many of the popular notions about the revolution are distorted or just ass-backwards.

This sounds great! Except nowhere do they say how much one will cost, they’re currently in the “drive demand before campaign launch” phase.

I bet it’s gonna be like five hundred bucks. That’ll suck.

1) I’m really curious about the smoldering interstage 2) Recovery isn’t reuse (yet) but is a good start 3) Catching it with basically ropes and pins and stuff is probably a lot easier than the Starship chopsticks

Gamerant and all of its sister sites are just the worst writing on the internet. Shitty takes and shitty business practices.

These double-lobed asteroids always look so cool. Like, not that long ago if this image was in a science fiction movie I would have said ehhhh unlikely but here we are looking at them

Oil refineries in space. Oh yeah, big brain time.

Ah uh the fact that our government is currently bad does not make their government good.

You can get a lot done when you turn your country into a slave state.

Ohio and Idaho, wtf is wrong with you?

“The thing that celebrity said is racist, but here’s my interpretation of how it’s not racist, and anyone disagreeing with me is woke and gay”

The real problem is that if he claims the election is a fraud, it just gives his moron followers a false justification to go ahead and rig the elections next time because “they did it first”

There are people (not naming names) that, if assassinated, would be much more powerful in death than in life. I mean, one in particular is more powerful for what he represents to morons than what he actually is already.

In that case, it would be better for them to pass naturally, in public, because of their own decisions. Maybe by giving a record-setting delirious rambling speech in the July heat and finally letting one of those blood clots cut loose? One can dream.

Yep, serious. Superman is woke now, say the loud internet morons.

polarizing

He’s a solar powered immigrant who overcomes his parents’ bigotry. I can’t believe a certain segment of the population would think it was targeting their culture.

Thoughts and prayers

Cowabummer.

Apparently I can’t read any better than Alito can lol

5-4 6-3 for what it explicitly states in the constitution.

Impeach these motherfuckers.

When I worked at a kilo-scale chemical manufacturing job, some of our labs weren’t really air conditioned and/or were partially outside. It got up to 110F in the summer. The trick was to drop a little chunk of dry ice in each of your lab coat pockets. Kept me alive, at least.

Well, unfortunately the only real test to treat AD is in a phase 3 human trial. We have animal models but the correlation to humans is, so far, very bad. Every time we’ve cured it in a mouse it hasn’t worked in people.
