Mayors are universally the most insane people on the planet. I’m obsessed with learning about them and their bizarre fiefdoms

maybe it’s just my toxic trait but it is genuinely really satisfying learning about people I disagree with. most recently felt this while visiting la conciergerie and seeing the section on Robespierre last week. obviously, the French ppl were right to overthrow the monarch, and I also feel like American text books never get into the fact that this revolution was really two revolutions within a few years, because the first revolutionary government was crazy. Robespierre was in charge of propagand, and his work (guillotining people) was an act of national security and public health.
I think he genuinely viewed terror as necessary for good, which is just so fascimating. I disagree a lot, but it’s so much fun to daydream about what an Interview may have been like.

It's for my dnd campaign lol but now I can't stop learning about ancient civilizations and how those cultures would've evolved without colonial interferences (More specifically Mayan Futurism)
Seriously though getting sucked into random subjects and choosing to jump into the rabbit hole is a special experience

Nothing is a better reset than sitting alone with the ocean. Growing up on islands gave me a love for the choppy waters that were never more than a few minutes away, and as an adult I’ve rediscovered the companionship that they provide. Sneaking to the beach on the way home from work or on a lunch break feels like getting away with something in the best way. The worse the weather and the rockier the beach, the better time you’ll have–especially if you have a warm car to retreat to.
