Not everyone has the right radiation suit and breathing apparatus to enjoy life over there lol

right radiation suit and breathing apparatus

Not a problem. You can find these scattered throughout the political wastelands:

Apolitical confession - the forum’s new mobile site is driving me up the wall! Actually that is political. Viva la revolution! Make this forum great again!

[Dr_Do-Little (Від'їбись!)]

For some reason this remind me of the Talisman board game.
(The “space” expansion.)

[Arsonist (FOR WHAT!?!?!)]

Viva la revolution!

I welcome the revolution as long as it isn’t televised. Ill have none of that.

Ok I feel a little guilty about this because it was a bit of a provocation. But it was entertaining. I made a post asking for people’s views on marginalia on an appropriate subreddit and mentioned that I thought writing in library books isn’t the worst thing ever

Then I watched the fury roll in

I haven’t played Borderlands since around 2 months ago. I’m not totally excited for 3 at this point. May just be me, but it seems like a lot is gonna change and not for the more nuanced.

[Tracer (Teamwork is Powerful!)]

I always have trouble falling asleep on Christmas because I’m so excited.

I can’t believe no one’s done this but im a dog on the internet.

Today I discovered the existence of a scholar and poet called Friedrich Gundolf (born Friedrich Leopold Gundelfinger).

Which is all very well, and wikipedia even offers a picture, but when I read his name all that comes up is a mental image of Gandalf wielding semi-automatic weapons - or, even more so…

[Jefe (བར་དོ་ཐོས་གྲོལ)]

Gundelfinger

I went here :

Incidentally, that actor apparently had a hidden Nazi past :

James Bond: Goldfinger star’s NAZI past saw Sean Connery 007 movie BANNED in...

Probably bred werewolves.

Intriguing! The ban does seem a little overzealous given the more nuanced picture that even the Express seems to capture, heh

“Gundelfinger” does sound like a bad translation of Goldfinger into German, though I don’t think the two were related. Wikipedia tells me that Fleming stole the name from architect Ernő Goldfinger, who sued over it

[Jefe (བར་དོ་ཐོས་གྲོལ)]

Incidentally, this Gundolf fellow seems very much a product of the times (zeitgeist I suppose would be the obvious term) in Germany.

“Shakespeare and the German spirit” ( Shakespeare und der deutsche Geist, 1911)

Very Goethe, Steiner kinda stuff. Not that I actually read that - just enough to know the gist.
