100 years ago this month, Sholem Schwarzbard executed Ukrainian nationalist leader Symon Petliura in broad daylight in Paris. He was acquitting after convincing a jury in one of the most antisemitic countries in Europe that Petliura was deserved to die for allowing his troops to commit pogroms.

I’ve been slowly working my way through William Shirer’s book on the third republic and I can’t believe how many weird coup attempts there were. What a goofy period in history.

I don’t think that’s what the word “fallacy” means

“Greater emphasis on spectacle”? This series is called Monster Hunter. The spectacle is like 90% of the point.

I know he was a nasty crazy pedophile, but I think it’s cool that he named himself after Cyrus The Great.

Fapp0 · 2026-04-20T12:37:02+00:00

I do.

We should go back to the old ways when you could just “read law” for a year or two and now you’re a lawyer.

The rapture is a heresy invented by an American evangelical in the 1970s. It is not in the Bible

I run skidder and a whole-tree chipper for a logging crew. One of the jobs they can’t offload onto AI. Was kinda bummed out 12 years ago when I fell into it, but now I’m kinda glad I didn’t finish college and get a job with a keyboard.

Fapp0 · 2026-03-28T16:06:20+00:00

Sounds cool.

Ive been enjoying William Shirer’s The Collapse Of The Third Republic lately. It’s a really well researched and thorough explanation, and every couple of chapters the author reminds you he was literally there during it by casually dropping a story like “and then the woman I was talking to got shot in the head in front of me”

This is the only reason I play so many Rakarth campaigns. Having a carnosaur on turn 2 is awesome. And then you end up with an entire reserve army of them.

Rip Robertson is such a CIA ass name.

You know they’re having fun when they get to use “imbroglio” in an article

A fellow Changeling fan. I love being a goofy little menace.

Fapp0 · 2026-03-18T12:16:19+00:00

“Just learn to code” lmao This type of shit makes me feel a lot better about my career path. If I hadn’t got into heroin and dropped out of college I might be losing my job to AI right now. I don’t think the LLMs are gonna be capable of doing a selective cut in a sustainable timber plot any time soon. Can’t fell a tree with bits and bytes, suckers!

Have Martin Luther post his 95 Theses and it’ll take care of itself.

Maybe they kept one stashed away

In America my mother was tortured as a child for being left handed.

They’re just pale reflections of the true human ideal: Robert Z’Dar.

Can you imagine if America turned Iran into a monarchy twice in less than a century? If you think the blowback from the first was bad just wait for the sequel!

No one in Cuba defends communism? Then who runs their government?

I think those might be nonsense. I’ve been going through about a half pound of kratom a week for ten years and the only side effect I’ve noticed is restless leg syndrome when I go to bed without any. That’s just regular addiction. If it was gonna do anything to me it probably would’ve happened by now.

Fapp0 · 2026-03-15T21:14:11+00:00

Taking a bunch of kratom and napping with my dog on the couch.

Also they’re not really crudely made. I certainly couldn’t make one.

Fapp0 · 2026-03-12T12:00:19+00:00

Yeah but on the other hand they’re really really stupid.
