Formerly DT: COVID-19 - Featuring Lots of Politics, now CR because political talk not going away
I teach history to 8th and 11th graders and I've been using online teaching resources a lot anyway so the transition really isn't too bad for them.

Tiger King
Or the white version of Proposition Joe from the Wire.

Tiger King
Two things: I love it how that one chick got her arm eaten off and just comes back to work five days later and there's so many crazier things that happened that we barely even mention it. And the fact that Joe's former husband is in prison for murder and it's pretty much no big deal and never brought up.

The Civil War
I'm reading A Stillness at Appomattox right now. Just got done with The Fiery Trial: Abraham Lincoln and American Slavery by Eric Foner. It was really really good. Probably reread Battle Cry of Freedom next.

Greatest TV show other than the Big 3?
Six Feet Under is really underrated on these lists. Totally unique and terrific drama. The Leftovers was a masterpiece. Mad Men was terrific for four seasons and then was not near as good for the last three. The Americans absolutely belongs. Great from start to finish.

Below Deck
I don't know if Kate is a terrible person per se. She's just very good at her job and doesn't take bullshit from them.

Below Deck
Been plowing through Below Deck Med and their version of Kate is worse in a lot of ways but hot as shit. And Sandy is way too involved in the day to day operations of the crew rather than allowing them to run it.

Bachelor/Bachelorette/Paradise Catch-All
So are we talking bout Netflix's "Love is blind" as well on here? Cause Jessica is absolute batshit and Tank girl is fine af but also completely crazy and gold digging.

Super Bowl Discussion - Kanas City Vs. San Francisco
Mahomes is like if Michael Jordan was a quarterback. With Reid I believe they'll make several deep playoff runs together and he'll only get better. Who knows if they'll win another SB but I wouldn't count them out.

Super Bowl Discussion - Kanas City Vs. San Francisco
I can't believe everyone is talking about the 49ers defense but the Chiefs D has been better the last 8 games. They're playing outstanding football.

PSA-- don't tell people you want to dine with Hitler
Hitler loved American football wtf are you talking about? They had their own team there at Berchtesgaden called the Bavarian Brown Shirts.

I agree, both Vienna and Budapest are grandiose and absolutely stunning architecturally. And Vienna is just a great place to be both visiting and living. Berlin is a cultural, artistic and historical mecca and I absolutely love the people and culture there.

Uh, it depends on what you love about cities. I love Vienna and Berlin almost equally for very different reasons.

PSA-- don't tell people you want to dine with Hitler
One of the first things he mentions in Mein Kampf is the unification of Germany and Austria. It was one of his main goals as pan-Germanism was a leit motif of the times and had been for a while. Hitler being Austrian is rather irrelevant other than to the elitist Prussian Aristocracy who constantly underestimated him and his appeal.

He didn't like to share his goodies.

They're more aligned with Bavarians than with other parts of Germany.

Rommel's way overrated and Schlieffen's a dumbass that didn't understand modern technology.

PSA-- don't tell people you want to dine with Hitler
Why doesn't anyone want to have dinner with Stalin? At least he fucking ate meat. You're stuck with some vegetarian nonsense with Hitler and no alcohol.

Mizzou athletics struggling financially
This video coupled with then losing to a 15 seed in the first round of the tournament began their downfall. You hate to see it.
