[duetsolodancers]

just heard the commentators say on the one hand spain hasn't dropped a lead this whole game but on the other argentina's scored more goals this cup in the last 15 minutes than any team in history that is so fun

let's all have a fun time looking up new words when we encounter them to see what they mean before incorporating them into our vocabularies

letting family members sit in for dead senators is just monarchy logic im appalled that this has even happened before

[sugoiney-weaver]

Each state gets to decide how their state is represented in Congress

This has been a common method for a long time in some states

The idea is that a Senator's sibling/spouse/parent/child knows their intentions and policies better than a political rival or a random person would. It's a pretty good way to prevent political assassinations tbh

[pseudomasochist]

To be clear:

It is still monarchy logic.

You are still advocating for monarchy logic.

It also does not prevent political assassinations, At All, because what you are describing is a hereditary oligarchy which has historically actually led to MORE assassinations, since now the assassins know exactly who will be getting into power which gives them the opportunity to groom a replacement and then assassinate the current guy.

That is the Literal Exact Motivation for almost all political assassinations in the previous 12,000 years of post-Neolithic Revolution societies. You have precisely identified the most potent, reliable motivator for political assassination. It's actually driving me insane how specifically accurate that is.

i saw a tumblr post a while ago that implied that the purpose of book reviews is to help the author get better at their craft by evaluating the book and pointing out its strengths and weaknesses, and i disagree with that so strongly. a book review is not for the author of the book you’re writing about. it’s for potential readers, and readers who want to see someone else’s thoughts on the book. and on a more personal level, it’s for you, the reviewer, to bring your own analysis and your unique perspective to the review. a book review is about the book you’re reviewing, obviously, but it’s also about you, and what that book meant to you, and why it affected you the way it did. a book review can and should discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the book, but not for the purpose of instructing the writer how to improve their craft. that’s not your job. the author of the book may read your review, but if you have the idea that you’re writing for them, that you’re their editor or pr manager, then you misunderstand the purpose of a book review, and your review will suffer for it.
