Robert Pattinson on how he landed roles in both ‘THE ODYSSEY’ and ‘DUNE: PART THREE’:
"It’s just always different. I mean, with Chris [Nolan], he basically said, “I’m doing The Odyssey.” And I’m like, “Okay, cool. I want to do it.” And then Denis [Villeneuve] was like, “Do you want to do Dune?” And I went, “Yeah.”"

Very funny that the routine line about the Treaty of Westphalia being the beginning of a "modern state system based on sovereignty" was apparently just anti-Habsburg propaganda, useful to nationalists across Europe, which 20th century scholars happily endorsed.

this is like the old Soviet joke about a man who works at a factory making vacuum cleaners, and whose wife wants a vacuum cleaner, and so he sneaks parts out one at a time, but no matter how he puts the parts together, the only thing he can create from them is a Kalashnikov

The convicted Bosnian Serb genocidaire Ratko Mladic has died in a prison cell. He has died in a prison cell, while despite all of his murderous efforts little Bosniak girls and little Bosniak boys are again being born all across Bosnia and Herzegovina.
You lost, Ratko.
