This is also an important lesson of college football. "Time to put in the backups, we can't possibly do worse than six wins." Oh yes you can

Russia has been valiantly testing this theory for hundreds of years and continue working at it.

Someone mentioned earlier that their mother had referred to Musk as "Rasputin," which, oh my. (Yeah, yeah, twentieth century. But still!)

Ra Ra Elon Musk! doesn't have quite the same ring

I brought this up on a different thread and somebody tried to write some lyrics! I forget what they were.

I believe it involved "ketamine from dawn to dusk" lol.

God this is so accurate. Hopefully the Trump loyalists will get jealous of his influence and ACTUALLY OPEN A HISTORY BOOK.

Yeah, I mean it didn’t end well for Rasputin OR Nicholas. Don’t let unpopular weirdos into your inner circle.

“This czar wants to have some reforms” “don’t care gonna blow him up”

“Wait his son is an asshole?”

Don't forget the Czar himself:

"Sir, they just tried to assassinate you. Maybe we should get you to a safe location?"

"Don't care. Gonna inspect the bomb crater."

To be fair, Alexander II was going to help his wounded guards when he was hit by the second device.

Assassination of Alex II is definitely underrated on the list of Turning Points

edsbs.bsky.social•25 days ago

Honestly: still gonna blow him up

The important thing is to get out of your bomb proof carriage to inspect the bomb damage as soon as it happens. Bombs never strike the same place twice.
