Nikola Tesla 2026
The weirdest thing in Fate to me is the fight between AC and DC. Not the fact that physics is a social construct. Not what Moriarty is now that we know what Sherlock is.
No.
It's that weird rivalry that's been so absolutely settled I keep finding myself wondering if Tesla is allowing Edison to keep it up because Tesla feels sorry for him.
SIX DEGREES OF STAN LEE
I haven’t posted one of these in a while - Six Degrees of Stan Lee - this time featuring “Current Wars” (insert Infinity War Joke here).
We have:
Benedict Cumberbatch (Dr. Strange) playing Thomas Edison
Michael (General Zod) playing George Westinghouse
Tom Holland (Spider-Man) playing somebody
Nicholas Hoult (X-man Beast) playing Nikola Tesla
(Get a load of Tom Holland’s hair! It looks like he forgot to wash out the web juice!)
Warfare and American foreign policy
We have had a lot of wars during the last twenty or more years. Several of these wars have special significance for us because the United States has participated in the conflict:
The Afghanistan war
The Iraq war
The Syrian war
The Libyan war
The Ukraine war
The Israeli war
Only the first one proceeds without U. S. participation now, due to our calamitous withdrawal from Afghanistan in summer of 2021. The other five continue with our close involvement. After the massacres in southern Israel on Saturday, one wants to ask, what is American foreign policy? Surely it is not Anthony Blinken's tweet to urge Hamas and Jerusalem to reach a cease fire as soon as possible.
Blinken deleted his tweet shortly after he posted it. Does that mean the United States does not have a foreign policy?
christ, Ben looks like young Colonel Sanders having a bad hair day and I’m still drooling
Organized Crime
This farcical theory of “American exceptionalism” was more accurately described by Robert Penn Warren as “moral narcissism” which is “a poor basis for national policy.” Nevertheless, it was the “justification” for “our crusades of 1917–1918 and 1941–1945 and our diplomacy of righteousness, with the slogan of unconditional surrender and universal spiritual rehabilitation for others” (emphasis added).
Posturing as The Most Moral Humans on Earth requires Americans to forget many facts about their own history—or more precisely, for the government-dominated school system to either eliminate these facts from the curriculum or to distort them beyond recognition.
