The Confederates were bogged down badly. But as Heth's division streamed in, Buford became more aware that he must be reinforced or retire. This is the moment immortalized in the film with the "high ground" line. There is no indication that Buford ever said anything like this, it's just using Sam Elliot to explain the context.

A Ukrainian soldier tells a Vice reporter that it seems like his government’s plan is the deliberate eradication of its own population: “I don’t know what the government’s plans are, but it feels like the extermination of its own population. Like of the combat-ready and working-age population."

Science has become corrupted and untrustworthy.

Welcome to pharma, tech bro

"Writing 101, never use time travel. Not unless you are incredibly smart and autistically detail-oriented. If it’s a one-way trip, you might get away with it but otherwise, every midwit on Earth is going to spot the paradoxes you accidentally setup. LucasFilm does not employ any writer that smart. Worse still this thing clearly and obviously went through the Disney scrapbooking process of editing excellence through data-driven audience feedback. A time travel story written by retards and the choose-your-own-adventure Disney editing “process” resulted in complete narrative incoherence. Exactly what I was expecting it to be. The new LucasFilm never disappoints."

"Why do they cost anyway? Scientists do the writing, giving it free to the journals, who then charge for it. Scientists sign away their copyright to a publisher who squeeze scientists (through their employers) to read what they wrote! It’s even more bizarre when you consider the papers were almost all funded on the public dime. Academic journal publishing is a brilliantly evil system."

Does anybody remember this thread from May 20th?

Professional idiot James Lindsay warned that if conservatives didn’t immediately embrace homosexuals and disavow Christian Nationalism that there would be a “Charlottesville 2.0” that would destroy the American Right.

Not only did that not happen but if anything this was the first pride month in recent memory that LGBT unequivocally LOST.

Someone purchased a bootleg Backer's Limited Special Edition copy of the Wise of Heart for $250 on Amazon. So now, it's a limited edition of 101, not 100.

Patience. Soon the Backers' copies will be fulfilled and The Wise of Heart will be generally available.

Cars... And freedom.

"Fothergill, from Windermere, Cumbria, typed out his views on transgender ideology to the building society on June 18. He responded to a monthly email he gets from YBS asking for his feedback, after noticing that it was displaying support for Pride month on its website. The minister, who no longer has his own parish but founded the Filling Station evangelical network, wrote out “a couple of paragraphs” about how he did not agree with trans ideology — or the idea that you can have alternative genders — being pushed on children.

"Fothergill said: “I was polite all the way through. I was pointing out that they are a financial house – surely they should just be worrying about financial issues.”

"On June 22 he received a letter from YBS about his “views regarding LGBTQIA+”. It said the comments he made were “not tolerable” and the building society had a “zero tolerance approach to discrimination”.

3 July 1863: Confederate General Lewis Armistead leading his men forward during Pickett's Charge on the third day of the Battle of Gettysburg, which would become known as the "High Water Mark of the Confederacy". This battle involved the largest number of casualties of the entire war.

What's a couple of days between friends and fellow patriots?
