My dealer: got some straight gas 🔥😛 this strain is called "Vinesauce" 🍄 you'll be zonked out of your gourd 💯

Me: yeah whatever. I don't feel shit.

5 minutes later: dude I swear I just saw Gnorts in the bathroom

My buddy Joel pacing: chat is lying to us

“I have an eerie feeling that America will soon taste the same ashes that Rome did as it burned to the ground.”

uhhhhhhh ok, here's a fun fact:

The reason lead is marked with Pb in the periodic table is because in Latin it's called "plumbum"

Now, plumbum sounds a lot like plumbing, right?

That's because in ancient Rome lead was used for making pipes that delivered water trough out the major cities. One other thing is that ingesting lead causes lead poisoning, and one of the symptoms is insanity.

There for, one of the theories as to why the Roman empire fell apart is that the city folk, which is what all the generals and important government people were, got lead poisoning, lost their grips on reality and the empire fell apart.

The cycle continues, it might never stop

Kendall makes decisions that directly harm his children, partially out of spite, partially out of ego, just so he can keep the company, convincing himself that everything he's doing is for his kids in the end

Roman, at first , the one with the most humanity & gave the audience a sliver of hope because of the physical and emotional abuse he endured from logan, now takes on the same extreme bigoted ideologies and takes calls from the president

Shiv goes behind their backs after they go behind hers, doing the most to pass the merger, fighting on several fronts, and practically losing everything to a surprise element (bear hug anyone?)

They are all pieces of logan. None of them are logan enough. Their fatal flaw is that they keep trying anyway.

The Fall of Rome

(for Cyril Connolly)

The piers are pummelled by the waves; In a lonely field the rain Lashes an abandoned train; Outlaws fill the mountain caves.

Fantastic grow the evening gowns; Agents of the Fisc pursue Absconding tax-defaulters through The sewers of provincial towns.

Private rites of magic send The temple prostitutes to sleep; All the literati keep An imaginary friend.

Cerebrotonic Cato may Extol the Ancient Disciplines, But the muscle-bound Marines Mutiny for food and pay.

Caesar's double-bed is warm As an unimportant clerk Writes I DO NOT LIKE MY WORK On a pink official form.

Unendowed with wealth or pity, Little birds with scarlet legs, Sitting on their speckled eggs, Eye each flu-infected city.

Altogether elsewhere, vast Herds of reindeer move across Miles and miles of golden moss, Silently and very fast.

W.H. Auden

I just think that in a show about empire, you don't name a character "Roman" and not expect to see a fall.
