Though I suppose Alexandria actually had some good reads.
What life lessons? How to be a fucking loser?

It’s Feng Shui: Modern Guide for Creating Abundance in your Holistic Home with Feng Shui for Mind (Feng Shui Guidelines that makes sense easy ways on your greens indoor) by Heather Davis
Walking into most bookstores is a quick trip to jokerification
I’m not sure which is worse, a centrist liberal bookstore or a right wing book store. I suppose the latter can be kind of funny when you read something truly insane, like idk, a book about Stalin being related to Pontius Pilate and therefore communism = satan. At least that is creative, like flat earth conspiracy theories.
Endless books endorsed by Michelle Obama, or with Bill Maher on the cover
are just tiring.
‘“Why I’m Right And You Dipshits Should Buy My Slop” by Prominent Liberal Figure’ is such an infuriating yet common category of literature
The funniest thing is that almost everybody in that world understands that it’s just some bullshit move for publicity, and that if you’re a halfway recognizable person you’re gonna get at least one book deal, no matter the quality of it.
The only people who care about these hagiographies are clueless libs.
A lot of the time it makes me go from zero to “Some book bannings/burnings are good, actually.”
It just makes me think of all the wasted resources that goes into what is essentially
or
manifest.
I guess one small comfort is that low-quality AI slop can absolutely handle those authors’ jobs now.
the first and most tragic story is October 7
October 7 was neither the first nor the most tragic.
October 7th was deserved and if 10,000 more happened it still would not be worse. Settlers are not civilians
Yeah I’m punching this person right in the mouth of I ever see them in public.
I didn’t realize it wasn’t in the text, but it’s KKKamala “Holocaust” Harris answering a reporter who asked “could the Gaza genocide cause you to lose” or something similar, I’ll find the exact question and source hold on. I’ll edit them into the image comment above
Did I stutter? Motherfuckers are gonna get bean’d right in the face.
Fierce GIRLBOSS Kamala SHREDS starving Palestinian who interrupts her epic speech on civility: “The adults are speaking”.
Look at the second spine from the right - a feng shui ‘abundance’ book by someone with an extremely Anglo name.
Things I’ll see piles of at Goodwill in six months…
I was really happy when I found a stack of maga hats in a goodwill after Trump lost in '20. I’ll be a lot happier when I start to see Kamala’s shit.
The DNC will have shipped them all to third world countries where they will be worn by the victims of U.S. imperialism and they will pat themselves on the back for it
is one of the lessons about how that moment played a significant role in her losing?
put a FREE PALESTINE sticker on the inside front page
That’s probably over
level of hubris and contempt given the context.
Why a goth?
Well can you really call yourself a Goth if you didn’t sack Alexandria.
The Library was burned (accidentally) by Caesar when the city was under siege. The city itself was sacked by a crusade in the 1300s, led by Cypriots. I don’t think the Goths were ever really involved as they were too far north. The Visigoths (an offshoot of the Goths) sacked Rome, which is probably what you’re thinking of.
The library was sadly plagued with misfortunes from Caesar’s little fumble onward and lost chunks of the collection in fires after earthquakes. Europeans would emphasize one particular fire as ‘destroying’ the library there during the Muslim conquest from the Byzantines as a way to slander them. The Library of Baghdad was actually larger and more useful for scholars for a longer time, and was destroyed all at once, and people apparently mashed the two (600 years apart) events together. When the Mongols destroyed the library in Baghdad they threw the texts into the river and it turned black from all the ink in the water
That the library at Baghdad doesn’t get the love from historians of the library at Alexandria is probably an exercise is racism.
No! Evul masonist babylonian papist empire destroyed alexandria because they didn’t want free energy to become global knowledge!!!1!!1
Ah, thank you for educating me. A bunch of half-remembered stuff and Ren Faire costumes.
username checks out
I guess no one was a Goth then, because the Goths never sacked Alexandria.
You can’t say I’m not a real Goth I didn’t buy my makeup from Hot Topic because that’s for poser Emos and I’m not fucking Emo
The Vandals did sack Carthage tho. Why is it the Romans can do that and they’re not considered thieves but the Vandals are smh
#antigermanicracism
Akshually the vandals had partially alan ancestry so they were a POC culture.
The Alans are from the Caucases. Checkmate silly atheist
