I think my final disillusionment with the Glorious Violent Revolution (not that I was ever fond of it to begin with) was when the right wing tried it on January 6th and failed miserably, only to switch tactics to boring old electoralism and succeed.

I don't like wearing electrodes all day everyday for my recovery so I've decided it's an experimental cure by Frankenstein and he's in love with me because he's never met someone who trusts or is able to take so much SCIENCE before.

I'm gonna be honest 'cowboys were a sort of itinerant warrior class common in meiji-era texas' always annoys me a bit because it's a funny post but also No They Weren't. They were an itinerant pastoralist class common in Meiji-era Texas. And indeed the wider western region of post-Risorgimento America

I think there should be a production of the Edwin Drood musical that's all female, including in-universe as an all female music hall with the men done as trouser roles. Historically dubious but fun.

Prince George patronizing Jane Austen against her will should have been an episode of Blackadder III.

Edwin Drood has some chutzpah, planning to court Helena while being so racist to her brother. Charitably, I could call him an idiot.

boys will be boys?????

I sure hope Edwin Drood doesn't end up being my favorite Dickens novel, because I'm in for a real bout of frustration when Dickens dies and it abruptly cuts off.
