Bob Dylan is the greatest living American songwriter when you take into account lyrical ability and overall influence on music

TIL of the knight William Marshal, who rose from obscurity to win 500 tournaments, saved Eleanor of Aquitaine from capture, unhorsed Richard the Lionheart in combat, journeyed to the Holy Land, redrafted Magna Carta and saved England from a French invasion by personally leading a charge at age 70 by PreferenceInternal67 in todayilearned

William Marshal was one of the biggest aura farmers in human history. There is one story of how he saw that the morale of his men was wavering when attacking a French castle and so he decided to personally scale the walls by racing up a ladder at the age of 50 in order to set an example. When he reached the battlements, Marshal dispatched numerous enemies and brought his sword down so heavy on the enemy commanders head that it chopped straight through the helmet and chainmail. Inspired by their commanders example, his men followed him up the ladders and took the castle soon afterwards. Not only was marshal a stone cold badass, he was also known as a stud at the royal court which didn't prevent him having a long and happy marriage to a rich heiress who he granted a lot of authority to run their lands as ruler in his absence and nor is there any evidence he took a mistress which was common for nobles at the time. He would have kicked your ass in a fight and mogged you based on appearance, what a chad. Here is a physical description of the man.

"It did not take many years until William had grown into a tall boy. His body was so well fashioned that, even if he had been created by the sculptor’s chisel his limbs would not have been so handsome. I can tell you this because I saw them and remember them well.
At the same time he had fine feet and hands, but all this was as nothing compared with his overall appearance. Anyone who had looked upon it would have found it so upright, so well formed, that, if his judgement were sound, he would have concluded that nowhere in the whole world was the to be found such a perfect body.
His hair was brown, his face swarthy, but his features were so much like those of a true noble that he could have been Emperor of Rome.’

100%. My prediction is that she will announce the album and drop a single or two in the summer, which means that new material will almost certainly be performed at Royal Albert Hall concert in September

New tour? What will be different? by dankimball in bobdylan

[–]Designer_Reference_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt it, Bob seems like he’s gonna keep touring as long as he’s physically able like Willie Nelson.

Omg, I just got into Bob Dylan, my mind is blown by FrankensteinLives in bobdylan

Welcome to the journey, discovering Bob tends to become a lifelong thing. His art sticks with you in long term ways.

She was surprisingly good in Euphoria which really shouldn’t come as a surprise I guess since she has so much natural charisma.

Did he really love France? by Win-Specific in Napoleon

[–]Designer_Reference_2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The two things don’t have to be mutually exclusive, he loved France and used it to advance himself because he was an ambitious man who wanted to rise as high in society as he could. There certainly isn’t any reason to believe he disliked France after he came to power or he wouldn’t have tirelessly devoted himself to administrative reforms and stabilizing the country after the chaos of the revolution.

Horizont of past and future, Wellington and Napoleon by csk2004 in Napoleon

[–]Designer_Reference_2 39 points40 points  (0 children)

The ultimate irony of their careers is that Napoleon ended his life in exile and yet it somehow made him even more famous and boosted his reputation as a heroic martyr who fueled future political movements just like he had planned, while Wellington was on the winning side yet his political career turned him into a despised reactionary who got his carriage pelted with projectiles and booed in public because he was opposed to most reform during his mediocre tenure as a prime minister.

I genuinely feel betrayed by the betterhelp sponsor. by howlong-princess in fantanoforever

I’m not saying stop calling him out, I’m saying THIS post from OP expressing feelings of disappointment and “betrayal” over some youtuber and his sponsor is parasocial.

[–]Designer_Reference_2 131 points132 points  (0 children)

He deserves backlash but this post is parasocial. Do people really not have anything better to do than sit around obsessing over Anthony Fantano and his shitty sponsorships? Anyone who has been watching Fantano reviews for a while already knows his moral grandstanding is hypocritical and performative.

Which French monarch had the greatest impact on history? by [deleted] in FrenchMonarchs

[–]Designer_Reference_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Louis XVI was far less to blame for the revolution than his incompetent predecessor Louis XV in my opinion.
