This is percentage change in applications, which is a bit hard to understand. Would the straight number if applications show this trend too?

Hopefully because soldiers killing each other is better than soldiers killing civilians. Unfortunately, many wars aren’t fought to prevent civilians from being killed.

The Hobbit wasn’t originally set in middle earth. He started working on the Silmarillion in 1914 at 22, but didn’t start Lord of the Rings till much later. I don’t know if he began to set the Hobbit in middle earth before or after starting on Lord of the Rings.

I wonder what that red spot in Russia is

You using private capital as synonymous with powerful people? Rich people to tend to be powerful, but they’re not the only ones.

And are you saying the treaty of versailles and it’s fallout were part of the conditions for fascism, and were capitalist in nature?

Whether a king is above the law or not is the difference between a democratic or absolute monarchy. He thinks he’s above the law, so I guess he’s shooting for absolute monarchy.

Wouldn’t it be a derivative of oligarchy? Fascism doesn’t care about the free market, only the well being of those at the top. You could argue oligarchy is a derivative of capitalism, but I don’t think they’re synonymous.

Is that a real trump tweet? That’s scary.

You’d need a world wide government to tax and distribute for that, right? So that government would need to have control of every over country, like the EU on a larger scale. That seems unlikely to happen without violence, but I guess it would work if every worker in the world was suddenly in support of it.

Phase 1 vs phase 2 armor

These look like Gen 2 clone troopers right? The eyes are still connected, whereas stormtroopers have individual eyes. But they’re not Gen 1 since they don’t have the long crest on their helmets. Also, it looks like they’re in imperial style architecture, so that’s confusing.

This was 19 September to 11 October 1957

Widor Toccata! I love it when the pedal comes back in, always makes me smile.

Sorry for the very different style

Is this showing 4k77?

Edit: no, looks like they’re showing the technicolor film directly from the BFI National Archive. Similar to the one 4k77 was scanned from.

Nice, I haven’t seen this template with Matt Parker before!

Probably to support racism. Like the black people crime statistics.

Maybe the image is mirrored?

The scary thing is we have no clue. But they do seem to be racist in their targeting, so if you look white, I’d imagine you’d have a much lower risk.

This is one of the reasons cars have such a chokehold, kids don’t bike places as often because of safety concerns.

Nobody should be preventing you from running around with a good stick!
