for all his infamous reputation and generally unpleasantness i don't think alastor is, naturally, a betrayer. we see how he handles his two canonical friends in the show ( rosie & mimzy ), who both have nothing but positive things to say, and not just miscellaneous good things, but stuff like “you love taking care of me” and “he's never steered me wrong before” ... mimzy literally puts alastor's life in danger with her problems and he never holds it against her, actively indulging this selfish behavior and seeing it as a point of pride. he allows the two a lot of leeway, a lot of touching, and isn't uncomfortable nor irritated about it. which isn't even mentioning how he clearly feels at home in cannibal town ; a place that's characterized by a rare sense of unity you hardly see in hell. where everyone helps each other and once charlie wins them over, they have no qualms giving her their loyalty and delivering on it. cannibals are the most loyal sort of demons we've seen so far! and alastor loves them, and loves it there with them. so i think he's much more loyal than he wants to be, but it's still inherently within him ( & is something he respects and likes ) regardless.
this doesn't mean he won't betray the hotel! because i think he will, and it'll be every bit as awful as it feels like it's going to be, except the point of it is less 'this is how alastor naturally is' and more so 'here is a man pushed to extremes from outside forces and inner turmoil he refuses to sort through, to the point he's doing things that he believes are something he'd do, when in fact the people who know him best will probably not understand him or his current actions' ... do you feel me!
#ooc.#alastor is bad in a lot of ways dgmw but i don't think betrayal is his style#especially since he's so picky and cautious with his friends to begin with. he won't trust someone unless he's certain of their motives#( or thinks he's certain! )#like to me alastor is in-between a rock and a hard place!#he cares for the hotel which is wrong. because he's forced to be there so how can he enjoy their miserable company??#he cares for this stupid project which is wrong. because that can't be true when alastor would never work with another ( unless forced! )#he almost died for his 'friends' because he genuinely wanted them to win and prevail? no! he was ... forced ...#man is using his deal as a crutch because he's changing and he Doesnt Like It#idk!! idk!!! just uh lots of thoughts on this freak obviously#to me he isn't a betrayer. but he Will Become One and he will think this is what the radio demon is#which is the tragedy ... </3#some people will destroy everything they care for just because they don't want to get a lobotomy. insane!#also i will never not go crazy over the fact that the one time alastor doesn't force his way into a song is when he's at cannibal town#and instead he literally uses HIS voice and vocals to back up rosie and charlie .... like the implications are INSANE there#he's working himself into the harmony he's not trying to change it or take charge of it he's just ... following#like ughhh </3 anyway imma try to work on drafts but i am sick over this please know

Intersectionality in Sense8
Intersectionality which is depicted in popular aspects of culture, like the Netflix series Sense8, is not only necessary but overtly appreciated from audience members. Intersectionality refers to those who obtain multiple marginalized identifications, such as being Black and being a woman. Representation of these variations of often misunderstood characteristics provides an outlet for audience members who can relate to the characters portrayed on the screen. Unfortunately, many people who obtain multiple stigmatized identifications are not represented on screen as often as white, straight characters, or those with one identity which does not align with characteristics normalized in society. Underrepresentation of these existing combinations of identifications is problematic when considering the prevalence of these characteristics off screen, and is instead making the assumption these combinations of characteristics do not exist by choosing to ignore their existence. Excluding combinations of marginalized identifications supports the inaccurate stereotypes by falsely guiding audience members into complete ignorance of the existence of someone with a variety of stigmatized characteristics, along with the unique experience of discrimination which follows. These people who identify as such are often persuaded to believe people who look like them, or obtain the same characteristics are either not as significant as the people usually on screen or believe they simply do not exist. However, Sense8 portrays a majority of the characters as obtaining a variety of marginalized identifications and utilizes such diverse storylines in a genuine and accurate way.  
Tumblr media
Netflix’s Sense8 portrays a variety of unique characters: including a Black man named Capheus who lives in Kenya; Lito, a gay, Spanish actor; a Korean woman named Sun; Will, a White Chicago police officer; Kala, a religious Indian pharmacist; Wolfgang, a German thief; Nomi, a trans-woman who lives in San Fransisco and is in an openly gay relationship with a Black woman named Amanita; and an Icelandic D.J. named Riley. 
youtube
Sense8 is a combination of genres in itself, including aspects of sci-fi and mystery, drama, romance, action, and melancholy. “Sense8 follows eight people from vastly different backgrounds all across the world whose lives begin to gradually intertwine when they discover that they can share a mental link with one another” (Seligson). The group of eight characters are able to share their thoughts, experiences, and skills with one another. Below is the official Netflix trailer of the third season, which was shortened into a movie after Netflix’s abrupt and controversial cancellation of the series;
youtube
The condensed movie was released on June 8th, 2018, and is almost three hours long. 
The characters depicted in Sense8 are unique from one another and vary from the usual main characters presented in series. The diverse characteristics between the characters allows for a diverse audience to relate to the specific characters they believe best represent them. The show not only provides physical representation of their unique characteristics, but also shares a personalized and genuine background of each of the characters. “I don’t want to reduce Sense8 to a single message, but I also want to applaud it for it’s progressivism. No other show on television comes close to the level of inclusion and representation it has, and it doesn’t get nearly enough credit for that” (Seligson). For instance, Nomi Marks is a political blogger who has a great amount of experience with online hacking. She is from San Francisco and is in an openly gay relationship with a woman named Amanita (Orley). “However, Nomi’s life is not as simple as we believe, but that she was born in the body of Michael” (Kevin). Nomi is a trans-woman and is played by Jamie Clayton, a trans-woman actor. The series provides the audience with the upsetting storyline of Nomi’s unaccepting mother who continues to call Nomi, Michael. 
Tumblr media
The next character, Lito, is a closeted gay Spanish actor in Mexico. He constantly pressures himself to appear straight to the public, although Lito is in love with a man Hernando who secretly lives with Lito. Lito is a determined actor who is continuously attempting to create a successful career. With support from Hernando and others, Lito decides to come out as gay to the audience (Orley). 
Tumblr media
Will Gorski is a Chicago police officer who obtains a major role in Sense8. Will and Riley meet in the beginning and discover they are falling in love with one another. The series shares a fight between Will and his dad who struggles with alcohol addiction and unfortunately dies after falling down a flight of stairs (Orley).
Tumblr media
RIley is originally from Iceland but ran away when she was younger and D.J.s in England. She had a troubled past and as a result is involved in the drug trade. She is in a relationship with Will (Orley).
Tumblr media
Wolfgang is from Germany and is a professional safe-cracker. He is constantly involved in world-class jewel heists with a close friend, as well as organized crime (Orley).
Tumblr media
Kala lives in India and is praised for studying medicine and pharmacy. Sense8 shares Kala’s life as religious and structured. During the beginning of season one, Kala struggles with the reality she is about to marry someone she does not love due to Kala’s dad’s arrangement. Kala and Wolfgang begin seeing each other often and consider being in a romantic relationship (Orley).
Tumblr media
Capheus is a bus driver and care-taker in Kenya. His mom is sick throughout the series, and Capheus is determined to receive the money needed to purchase medication. Capheus is a passionate, knowledgable character (Orley).
Tumblr media
The last main character of the eight is Sun, who is a Financial Officer in South Korea. Sun enjoys kickboxing, and is often helping the other seven use the strength and talent she obtains to get out of dangerous situations when needed. Additionally, Sun’s younger brother is caught in a work-related crime and Sun is challenged with the choices of listening to her diseased mother’s advice of always protecting family, or choosing not to make the ultimate sacrifice and instead allow herself to succeed (Orley).
Tumblr media
These diverse characters, “were born at the exact same moment on the exact same day, are physically connected, even as they live radically different lives” (Xiao). However, their unique experiences and intersecting, or not intersecting, identifications allow them to still exist as separate beings. As the audience is able to see throughout the series, these characters experience a variety of disadvantages or privileges solely because of their identifications. For instance, Nomi, the gay, trans-woman, is constantly verbally abused and maliciously misgendered by her own mother because Nomi is a trans-woman. Additionally, she is dating another woman, which Nomi’s mother disapproves of as well. The disadvantages of being both a trans-woman and identifying as gay are significantly different than another white woman identifying as gay, or solely being a trans-woman but being exclusively attracted to men. There are plenty of examples within Sense8 about intersectional experiences; including, Sun who is Korean and a woman who enjoys kickboxing. Sun lives in Korea, so she is not visibly discriminated against for being Korean, but she is often doubted for being a woman in a high-profile work setting in which the stereotypes are influenced by Korean culture. Additionally, Sun is strong and can arguably win in a majority of the kickboxing fights she participates in. When considering the expectations for women within Korea, being an outstanding kickboxer is definitely not considered “womanly.” Sun is often doubted while in the kickboxing range, and when she is at work she is seen as passive when considering Sun’s relationship with her younger brother.
The representation of diverse identifications within Sense8 only increases a range of audience members by allowing more people to relate to unique experiences which commonly occur within marginalized communities. Though the series may have cancelled due to diversity and specific experiences not everyone is able to relate to, the show resonated and continues to empower particular groups of people (Aguado-Peláez). “The series has found a firm niche among primarily queer audiences largely due to its highly visible and progressive representations of gay, lesbian, trans, and otherwise-queer bodies, sexualities, and subjectivities. This might be one of the its most redeeming, or perhaps the most redeeming, aspects...Sense8 resonates with queer folx and people of colour...The representation of queerness in Sense8 is normalized, it never seeks to be assimilationist or heteronormative. Instead, it presents the queerness of its cluster in opposition to hetero-patriarchal and corporate agendas” (Elrod). The representation of stigmatized characteristics is significant when considering viewers who are searching for authentic, accurate experiences to relate to, especially younger audience members who may be desperate for a role model. 
youtube
Though Sense8 is obviously inclusive, critics discuss the problematic approach of understanding stigmatized characteristics to be true by stereotyping the characters within the show, and then attempting to argue these same stereotypes do not exist. “This kind of anti-stereotype criticism, though still important to undertake, often derives from and reaffirms the prevailing paradigm” (HSU). Therefore, critiques suggest Sense8 creators essentially believe the stereotypes as true. Additionally, some audience members believe the screen time of racially stigmatized groups in the show did not equate to the screen time given to white characters like Will or RIley. “The notion that having more diversity runs afoul of some sort of narrative economics is predicated on the idea that all characters need equal screen time” (Menken). Any piece of media can be improved in order to achieve a more inclusive character base, but Sense8 is arguably one of the most inclusive series on Netflix.

8 Famed Parties That History Got Almost Exactly Wrong
Look, it’s not our operation here to prove that record is bullshit. It’s precisely that what the hell are you memorize in institution tends to be boiled down to a few highlights that can be plowed through in one period, and what you read in movies is the product of some screenwriter pounding it out over a coke-fueled weekend. We change real human being into heroes, rogues, and crude stereotypes.
The truth is more complex, as proven by the fact that …
# 8. Mother Teresa Accepted Money From Criminals And Deliberately Neglected Patients
Is there anyone whose honour is more bulletproof than Mother Teresa? The Catholic nun dedicated their own lives to helping the impoverished in India, and her run not only prevailed her the Nobel Peace Prize but made her the fast track to legitimate sainthood. But some people have come out of the woodwork to question Teresa’s integrity, including atheist pot-stirrer Christopher Hitchens, who released a documentary about her provocatively entitled Hell’s Angel .
For those not very well known Hitchens, he’s that person you always find vaguely like an asshole for come to terms with .
Among the charges against Mother Teresa are that the conditions in her hospital were actually downright appalling, with some medical professionals likening it to a concentration camp. Since then former members of the religious order she founded have come forward to reveal that the money donated didn’t inevitably go toward the poor, and the people lives in horrifying provisions where nurses organized drug with their bare mitts and reused weaken needles, because apparently you can pray away cross-contamination.
Apparently, Mother Teresa wasn’t too concerned about the poor conditions in her infirmary because, according to her, suffering brought people closer to Jesus, and she avoided from expending anesthesia because alleviating people’s hurting was less important than proselytizing them to Christianity. Apparently that didn’t apply to Teresa, because when she fell ill herself, she tried care in a modern American hospital. But, hell, she already knew about Jesus.
“So how’s about we get a little less prophetic and a bit more anesthetic.”
But pundits also point out that Teresa wasn’t too concerned about who she took gifts from, and so she became a lightning rod for offenders and tyrants who wanted to represent themselves look better by being able to say that they donated to Mother Teresa. Among her top donors were Jean-Claude Duvalier, harsh dictator of Haiti, and banker Charles Keating, who was convicted in the 1990 s for cases of fraud and racketeering. On crown of everything else, in 1991 it was revealed that simply a small amount of the money donated to Mother Teresa’s organisation could be accounted for. The remain likely moved immediately into the Vatican’s bank vault, because if there’s anyone who needs money more than the poor people of India, it’s the pope.
# 7. Leonardo Da Vinci Was A Muscular Male Model
If Hollywood made a movie about Leonardo Da Vinci and cast, respond, The Rock in the lead role, you’d likely believe that this is amusing. After all, when you imagine Leonardo Da Vinci, you’re most likely picturing a wizened old bearded guy. While this is the epitome that has existed through the centuries, the truth is that, in his time, Da Vinci was in fact known for being less Dumbledore and more Dwayne Johnson.
And sometimes wore his dres backwards, apparently .
Multiple accountings from Leonardo’s time had people mentioning how taken aback they were by his good looks, with some describing him as “a man of great beauty.” In knowledge, it’s thought that his first teacher, Verrocchio, probably initially hired him as a simulation rather than a student.
But Da Vinci didn’t precisely have incredible cheekbones. His particular obsession with learning the male physique came in part from his own absurd level of fitness. Gentleman in those daylights had a hard time constructing large-scale gizmoes by hand without the help of machinery, and Da Vinci’s reputation for being a master make starts with the fact that he himself was improved like a brick shithouse. It’s said that he was able to impress people at parties by stooping horseshoes with one hand.
A stunt this sauntering gym membership ad of a gentleman requirement both hands and a fair chip of grunting to pull off .
All this time, we’ve been doing Leonardo’s memory a disservice by envisioning him as an eccentric age-old tinkerer, when in reality he was like someone made the brain of Bruce Banner in their own bodies of The Hulk.
# 6. Punk Star Johnny Ramone Was A Staunch Conservative
Johnny Ramone was the guitarist for The Ramones, one of the most influential bandings in its own history of punk. Punk, of course, has been the category of alternative for left-wing revolutionaries for decades, so it ruffled a few feathers when The Ramones were inaugurated into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 2002, and Johnny took to the podium to answer, “God bless President Bush, and god bless America.” You could just about hear the record scratch resemble through the hall.
Not that there’s anything unseemly about has become a Republican, necessarily — it’s only that you don’t learn a lot of spiked collars and mohawks at a Ted Cruz rally. There’s not much overlap on that particular Venn diagram. Still, it genuinely shouldn’t have been too stunning for devotees who had followed their profession, because although his bandmates leaned to the left politically, Johnny had always been staunchly republican, a Republican voter, and an NRA member.
Despite looking like someone they are able to hunt for sport when big game got too suffering .
According to band members Joey and Marky Ramone( the surname is phony; none of the musicians were actually referred ), Johnny had considered that Ronald Reagan was the greatest president in American record and was even right-wing enough that he was one of the dozen or so beings in the two countries who guessed Richard Nixon got a raw deal.
Johnny died from cancer shortly after his Dormitory Of Fame appearance, but it had the effect of inspiring other republican punk love to come out to the world. Because, really, what could be more rebellious than standing in that crowd, raising a fist in the air, and screaming for lower capital increases taxes?
“HEY! HO! LET’S GO-P! ”
Meanwhile …
# 5. Karl Marx Mooched Off His Wealthy Friends
Karl Marx is perhaps the most influential political philosopher of all time, if you consider communism to be a big deal. For someone with such a famed enmity against capitalism, you’d likely premise he had some ghastly boss in his time, sufficient to build Dilbert and Office Space mixed look like a revelry of the free market. In actuality, Marx never held down a chore. But that didn’t signify he lived the humble, impoverished life of the proletariat, either — he actually experienced an extravagant lifestyle, mooching off his aristocratic partner, whose upper-class background he often boasted about, and sending his their children to expensive private schools.
Maintenance on that beard alone cost more than most working proles acquired in a month .
But his wife’s old money wasn’t his biggest source of income. A full-time life-style of philosophizing about financial was expensive to conserve, along with the vintage wines and bathtubs full of cocaine it probably involved, so its tremendous welfare checks were cut by his significantly richer friend, Friedrich Engels, who you might recognize as the lesser co-author of The Communist Manifesto , even though he did most of the work.
Marx did eventually get a job as a reporter for the New York Daily Tribune, but he couldn’t actually speak much English, which was OK because he never actually intended to write for them — what happened was Engels wrote essays for the working paper under Marx’s name, with the checks going to Marx. It was a win-win plan, because Marx get pay money doing good-for-nothing, while Engels … got to practice his English grammar, we suspect?
“I can’t facilitate but appear I’ve recognized a mistake in your beliefs, Karl.”
That wasn’t the only scam that Marx and Engels ran together with 100 percent of potential benefits going to Marx. Engels also embezzled money from his father’s company to give to Marx, at great risk to his own career and family. Maybe Engels’ biggest one-sided advantage was after Marx knocked up his housemaid and Engels claimed himself the parent to shunned his friend standing embarrassment. All thoughts considered, Engels was probably the world’s best friend that the world’s worst sidekick was possible to have.
# 4. Charles Dickens Was Kind Of A Dick
For a scribe who is best known for romances about assholes reading the error of their roads and becoming “peoples lives” around to act the best interests of humanity, follower was Charles Dickens himself a bigger shit than any attribute he was never wrote.
According to one biography, Dickens liked to entertain himself by bothering the inferno out of parties, like your worst acquaintance in college. He would walk up to beings in wall street and irk them with absurdity pranks, and would obnoxiously hit on women in ways that would have gotten him pepper-sprayed nowadays. On one reason, he picked a woman up without her permission and carried her down the beach, insinuating that he was going to kill her. This was all great recreation for Dickens, but less recreation for his wife.
The wife who accepted she was about to be abducted and murdered likely wasn’t tittering either .
Oh yes, he was married at the time. And his wife suffered from his assholery more than anyone. From referring to her as a “donkey, ” to smacking on teenage daughters in plain sight, he was emotionally abusive enough that he’d be right at home in a Charles Dickens fiction. But, like “theyre saying”, the best writers write what they know.
Probably this symbolize he made her sweep chimneys and live on exclusively portioned gruel .
The worst chapter in their nightmare wedding was when Dickens, aged 45 and with nine teenagers, started having an occasion with 18 -year-old actress Ellen Ternan. Dickens deterred the occasion secret for fear that it would destroy his reputation. This became more difficult as time went on, due to complications such as them designing a child together.
Eventually, the deceit became too spending for him, but rather than purpose the circumstance, he divorced his wife, leaving her with a generous alimony but forbidding her access to their nine offsprings. He then spent the rest of his life talking to anyone who would listen about what a crappy mom she had been and how she was perhaps lunatic, just so he could keep the truth about his infidelity under wraps. All that is something that takes the punch out of the moral to A Christmas Carol .
# 3. Queen Victoria Was Just A Gigantic Person
It’s no secret that Queen Victoria was a little on the chubby side. But while nothing was ever for the purposes of the illusion that she could be mistaken for an Olsen twin, facts have recently come to light about just how big she was. Those facts involve the 2014 auction of her 52 -inch-waist underwear, who was allegedly can fit three parties comfortably.
We don’t just knowing that kind of parties were willing to shell out cold, hard cash — over $4,000, in fact — for Queen Victoria’s underthings. The purchasers opted to remain anonymous, but let’s just say that they’re now in control of a very large conversation piece or a cozy silk bed sheet.
Nothing like compensating the cost of a put-upon vehicle for captured farts from the 1860 s .
The auctioneer finely has pointed out that, by this object in her life, the queen “had eaten a lot more than most people could render to.” Apparently, the underwear was donated to her servants in her will, which is the least she could do to thank the team of people who likely had to help her into them every morning. Now your boss’ crappy Christmas cards don’t search so bad. Or they examine worse; we’re not sure.
And while we’re grossly body-shaming the monstrous of biography …
# 2. Napoleon Was A Normal-Sized Person, But He Had A Tiny Penis
We’ve already exposed that the idea of French despot Napoleon being really short is a demonstrably untrue superstition. He was actually somewhat above median in meridian and exactly took a cluster of photos alongside freakishly towering sentries that gave rise to the illusion. However, there may be another reason why Napoleon could have had a so-called “Napoleon complex.”
The artifact finely identified “Napoleon’s Item” was removed during his autopsy back in 1821 and hindered preserved by a clergyman until “its been” placed on display by the Museum Of French Art in 1927. In instance you don’t know what we’re speak about, it’s his dick. This enter is about Napoleon’s dick.
“My forwards artillery is none of your business.”
His minuscule dick, as it turns out. The British Tv line Dead Famous DNA started in search of the cherished artifact in 2014 and obtained it in New Jersey of all places, in the home of a private collector who is apparently unwilling to show it to exactly anyone, for reasonableness most people can probably understand.
Analysis of the item reveals that it is just under two inches in section. The owner admits that it is “very small” but also says that it is “perfect structurally, ” as if that’s any relief. The takeaway is that the dude was just jam-pack plural inches. No amazement he was angry all the time.
Who would’ve suspected he was trying to compensate for something .
To be fair to Mr. Bonaparte, most dicks get reasonably underwhelming on a cold day, so we can only imagine what happens after you lop them off and store them in a cup for nearly two centuries.
# 1. King Tut Was Highly Deformed Due To Inbreeding
Tutankhamun, affectionately nicknamed King Tut, is possibly the only Egyptian pharaoh other than Cleopatra that it is able to refer on a pop quiz. Even so, you probably only think of him as a person with a serpent on his hat who did The Bangles’ Egyptian tread. Tut wasn’t actually that important a figure in ancient Egyptian biography, and there are really simply two things we know about his life — he died young, likely a teenager, and he was incredibly deformed. These two facts are likely related.
Upon the uncovering of Tutankhamun’s tomb and mummy in 1922, it was noticed that all the decorates of the pharaoh pictured him carrying a stick. Although some represented him expending it as a weapon, so it was theorized at the time that he just liked making people with remains. Maybe he was just a dick that way.
Seems to fit with our experiences with busters who wander around uncovering their abs all day .
But further analysis of his body showed that he probably necessary a walking stick to get around at all, because he stood just about every physical deformity you can imagine.
Still doing better than ol’ Bonaparte, at the least .
See, the Egyptian royal family had kind of a predilection toward marrying their own siblings in order to keep the bloodline pure. This attire have all contributed to genetic deformities, and in Tutankhamun’s regrettable lawsuit, he fell out of the incest tree and slam every diverge on the way down. Studies present that he had: an extreme overbite, a club paw, a skeletal deformity announced Kohler disease, and exceptionally wide-eyed hips. On surface of that, he suffered a separated leg at some extent and contracted malaria.
No wonder his tomb contained an unusual number of statues intended as servants to help the pharaoh in the afterlife. He probably needed a dozen beings to help him get out of berth in the morning, and that was when his legs were still alive.

A stunt this sauntering gym membership ad of a gentleman requirement both hands and a fair chip of grunting to pull off .
All this time, we’ve been doing Leonardo’s memory a disservice by envisioning him as an eccentric age-old tinkerer, when in reality he was like someone made the brain of Bruce Banner in their own bodies of The Hulk.
# 6. Punk Star Johnny Ramone Was A Staunch Conservative
Johnny Ramone was the guitarist for The Ramones, one of the most influential bandings in its own history of punk. Punk, of course, has been the category of alternative for left-wing revolutionaries for decades, so it ruffled a few feathers when The Ramones were inaugurated into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 2002, and Johnny took to the podium to answer, “God bless President Bush, and god bless America.” You could just about hear the record scratch resemble through the hall.
Not that there’s anything unseemly about has become a Republican, necessarily — it’s only that you don’t learn a lot of spiked collars and mohawks at a Ted Cruz rally. There’s not much overlap on that particular Venn diagram. Still, it genuinely shouldn’t have been too stunning for devotees who had followed their profession, because although his bandmates leaned to the left politically, Johnny had always been staunchly republican, a Republican voter, and an NRA member.
Despite looking like someone they are able to hunt for sport when big game got too suffering .
According to band members Joey and Marky Ramone( the surname is phony; none of the musicians were actually referred ), Johnny had considered that Ronald Reagan was the greatest president in American record and was even right-wing enough that he was one of the dozen or so beings in the two countries who guessed Richard Nixon got a raw deal.
Johnny died from cancer shortly after his Dormitory Of Fame appearance, but it had the effect of inspiring other republican punk love to come out to the world. Because, really, what could be more rebellious than standing in that crowd, raising a fist in the air, and screaming for lower capital increases taxes?
“HEY! HO! LET’S GO-P! ”
Meanwhile …
# 5. Karl Marx Mooched Off His Wealthy Friends
Karl Marx is perhaps the most influential political philosopher of all time, if you consider communism to be a big deal. For someone with such a famed enmity against capitalism, you’d likely premise he had some ghastly boss in his time, sufficient to build Dilbert and Office Space mixed look like a revelry of the free market. In actuality, Marx never held down a chore. But that didn’t signify he lived the humble, impoverished life of the proletariat, either — he actually experienced an extravagant lifestyle, mooching off his aristocratic partner, whose upper-class background he often boasted about, and sending his their children to expensive private schools.
Maintenance on that beard alone cost more than most working proles acquired in a month .
But his wife’s old money wasn’t his biggest source of income. A full-time life-style of philosophizing about financial was expensive to conserve, along with the vintage wines and bathtubs full of cocaine it probably involved, so its tremendous welfare checks were cut by his significantly richer friend, Friedrich Engels, who you might recognize as the lesser co-author of The Communist Manifesto , even though he did most of the work.
Marx did eventually get a job as a reporter for the New York Daily Tribune, but he couldn’t actually speak much English, which was OK because he never actually intended to write for them — what happened was Engels wrote essays for the working paper under Marx’s name, with the checks going to Marx. It was a win-win plan, because Marx get pay money doing good-for-nothing, while Engels … got to practice his English grammar, we suspect?
“I can’t facilitate but appear I’ve recognized a mistake in your beliefs, Karl.”
That wasn’t the only scam that Marx and Engels ran together with 100 percent of potential benefits going to Marx. Engels also embezzled money from his father’s company to give to Marx, at great risk to his own career and family. Maybe Engels’ biggest one-sided advantage was after Marx knocked up his housemaid and Engels claimed himself the parent to shunned his friend standing embarrassment. All thoughts considered, Engels was probably the world’s best friend that the world’s worst sidekick was possible to have.
# 4. Charles Dickens Was Kind Of A Dick
For a scribe who is best known for romances about assholes reading the error of their roads and becoming “peoples lives” around to act the best interests of humanity, follower was Charles Dickens himself a bigger shit than any attribute he was never wrote.
According to one biography, Dickens liked to entertain himself by bothering the inferno out of parties, like your worst acquaintance in college. He would walk up to beings in wall street and irk them with absurdity pranks, and would obnoxiously hit on women in ways that would have gotten him pepper-sprayed nowadays. On one reason, he picked a woman up without her permission and carried her down the beach, insinuating that he was going to kill her. This was all great recreation for Dickens, but less recreation for his wife.
The wife who accepted she was about to be abducted and murdered likely wasn’t tittering either .
Oh yes, he was married at the time. And his wife suffered from his assholery more than anyone. From referring to her as a “donkey, ” to smacking on teenage daughters in plain sight, he was emotionally abusive enough that he’d be right at home in a Charles Dickens fiction. But, like “theyre saying”, the best writers write what they know.
Probably this symbolize he made her sweep chimneys and live on exclusively portioned gruel .
The worst chapter in their nightmare wedding was when Dickens, aged 45 and with nine teenagers, started having an occasion with 18 -year-old actress Ellen Ternan. Dickens deterred the occasion secret for fear that it would destroy his reputation. This became more difficult as time went on, due to complications such as them designing a child together.
Eventually, the deceit became too spending for him, but rather than purpose the circumstance, he divorced his wife, leaving her with a generous alimony but forbidding her access to their nine offsprings. He then spent the rest of his life talking to anyone who would listen about what a crappy mom she had been and how she was perhaps lunatic, just so he could keep the truth about his infidelity under wraps. All that is something that takes the punch out of the moral to A Christmas Carol .
# 3. Queen Victoria Was Just A Gigantic Person
It’s no secret that Queen Victoria was a little on the chubby side. But while nothing was ever for the purposes of the illusion that she could be mistaken for an Olsen twin, facts have recently come to light about just how big she was. Those facts involve the 2014 auction of her 52 -inch-waist underwear, who was allegedly can fit three parties comfortably.
We don’t just knowing that kind of parties were willing to shell out cold, hard cash — over $4,000, in fact — for Queen Victoria’s underthings. The purchasers opted to remain anonymous, but let’s just say that they’re now in control of a very large conversation piece or a cozy silk bed sheet.
Nothing like compensating the cost of a put-upon vehicle for captured farts from the 1860 s .
The auctioneer finely has pointed out that, by this object in her life, the queen “had eaten a lot more than most people could render to.” Apparently, the underwear was donated to her servants in her will, which is the least she could do to thank the team of people who likely had to help her into them every morning. Now your boss’ crappy Christmas cards don’t search so bad. Or they examine worse; we’re not sure.
And while we’re grossly body-shaming the monstrous of biography …
# 2. Napoleon Was A Normal-Sized Person, But He Had A Tiny Penis
We’ve already exposed that the idea of French despot Napoleon being really short is a demonstrably untrue superstition. He was actually somewhat above median in meridian and exactly took a cluster of photos alongside freakishly towering sentries that gave rise to the illusion. However, there may be another reason why Napoleon could have had a so-called “Napoleon complex.”
The artifact finely identified “Napoleon’s Item” was removed during his autopsy back in 1821 and hindered preserved by a clergyman until “its been” placed on display by the Museum Of French Art in 1927. In instance you don’t know what we’re speak about, it’s his dick. This enter is about Napoleon’s dick.
“My forwards artillery is none of your business.”
His minuscule dick, as it turns out. The British Tv line Dead Famous DNA started in search of the cherished artifact in 2014 and obtained it in New Jersey of all places, in the home of a private collector who is apparently unwilling to show it to exactly anyone, for reasonableness most people can probably understand.
Analysis of the item reveals that it is just under two inches in section. The owner admits that it is “very small” but also says that it is “perfect structurally, ” as if that’s any relief. The takeaway is that the dude was just jam-pack plural inches. No amazement he was angry all the time.
Who would’ve suspected he was trying to compensate for something .
To be fair to Mr. Bonaparte, most dicks get reasonably underwhelming on a cold day, so we can only imagine what happens after you lop them off and store them in a cup for nearly two centuries.
# 1. King Tut Was Highly Deformed Due To Inbreeding
Tutankhamun, affectionately nicknamed King Tut, is possibly the only Egyptian pharaoh other than Cleopatra that it is able to refer on a pop quiz. Even so, you probably only think of him as a person with a serpent on his hat who did The Bangles’ Egyptian tread. Tut wasn’t actually that important a figure in ancient Egyptian biography, and there are really simply two things we know about his life — he died young, likely a teenager, and he was incredibly deformed. These two facts are likely related.
Upon the uncovering of Tutankhamun’s tomb and mummy in 1922, it was noticed that all the decorates of the pharaoh pictured him carrying a stick. Although some represented him expending it as a weapon, so it was theorized at the time that he just liked making people with remains. Maybe he was just a dick that way.
Seems to fit with our experiences with busters who wander around uncovering their abs all day .
But further analysis of his body showed that he probably necessary a walking stick to get around at all, because he stood just about every physical deformity you can imagine.
Still doing better than ol’ Bonaparte, at the least .
See, the Egyptian royal family had kind of a predilection toward marrying their own siblings in order to keep the bloodline pure. This attire have all contributed to genetic deformities, and in Tutankhamun’s regrettable lawsuit, he fell out of the incest tree and slam every diverge on the way down. Studies present that he had: an extreme overbite, a club paw, a skeletal deformity announced Kohler disease, and exceptionally wide-eyed hips. On surface of that, he suffered a separated leg at some extent and contracted malaria.
No wonder his tomb contained an unusual number of statues intended as servants to help the pharaoh in the afterlife. He probably needed a dozen beings to help him get out of berth in the morning, and that was when his legs were still alive.

8 Famed Parties That History Got Almost Exactly Wrong
Look, it’s not our operation here to prove that record is bullshit. It’s precisely that what the hell are you memorize in institution tends to be boiled down to a few highlights that can be plowed through in one period, and what you read in movies is the product of some screenwriter pounding it out over a coke-fueled weekend. We change real human being into heroes, rogues, and crude stereotypes.
The truth is more complex, as proven by the fact that …
# 8. Mother Teresa Accepted Money From Criminals And Deliberately Neglected Patients
Is there anyone whose honour is more bulletproof than Mother Teresa? The Catholic nun dedicated their own lives to helping the impoverished in India, and her run not only prevailed her the Nobel Peace Prize but made her the fast track to legitimate sainthood. But some people have come out of the woodwork to question Teresa’s integrity, including atheist pot-stirrer Christopher Hitchens, who released a documentary about her provocatively entitled Hell’s Angel .
For those not very well known Hitchens, he’s that person you always find vaguely like an asshole for come to terms with .
Among the charges against Mother Teresa are that the conditions in her hospital were actually downright appalling, with some medical professionals likening it to a concentration camp. Since then former members of the religious order she founded have come forward to reveal that the money donated didn’t inevitably go toward the poor, and the people lives in horrifying provisions where nurses organized drug with their bare mitts and reused weaken needles, because apparently you can pray away cross-contamination.
Apparently, Mother Teresa wasn’t too concerned about the poor conditions in her infirmary because, according to her, suffering brought people closer to Jesus, and she avoided from expending anesthesia because alleviating people’s hurting was less important than proselytizing them to Christianity. Apparently that didn’t apply to Teresa, because when she fell ill herself, she tried care in a modern American hospital. But, hell, she already knew about Jesus.
“So how’s about we get a little less prophetic and a bit more anesthetic.”
But pundits also point out that Teresa wasn’t too concerned about who she took gifts from, and so she became a lightning rod for offenders and tyrants who wanted to represent themselves look better by being able to say that they donated to Mother Teresa. Among her top donors were Jean-Claude Duvalier, harsh dictator of Haiti, and banker Charles Keating, who was convicted in the 1990 s for cases of fraud and racketeering. On crown of everything else, in 1991 it was revealed that simply a small amount of the money donated to Mother Teresa’s organisation could be accounted for. The remain likely moved immediately into the Vatican’s bank vault, because if there’s anyone who needs money more than the poor people of India, it’s the pope.
# 7. Leonardo Da Vinci Was A Muscular Male Model
If Hollywood made a movie about Leonardo Da Vinci and cast, respond, The Rock in the lead role, you’d likely believe that this is amusing. After all, when you imagine Leonardo Da Vinci, you’re most likely picturing a wizened old bearded guy. While this is the epitome that has existed through the centuries, the truth is that, in his time, Da Vinci was in fact known for being less Dumbledore and more Dwayne Johnson.
And sometimes wore his dres backwards, apparently .
Multiple accountings from Leonardo’s time had people mentioning how taken aback they were by his good looks, with some describing him as “a man of great beauty.” In knowledge, it’s thought that his first teacher, Verrocchio, probably initially hired him as a simulation rather than a student.
But Da Vinci didn’t precisely have incredible cheekbones. His particular obsession with learning the male physique came in part from his own absurd level of fitness. Gentleman in those daylights had a hard time constructing large-scale gizmoes by hand without the help of machinery, and Da Vinci’s reputation for being a master make starts with the fact that he himself was improved like a brick shithouse. It’s said that he was able to impress people at parties by stooping horseshoes with one hand.
