Bread and circuses.

Though that’s a little antiquated, so now it’s “high fructose corn syrup and superbowl”.

First you cut the tree down, then you cut it up.

It’s a work of art.

A simple tropey story to hang some amazing visual and aural art off.

I watch it often.

What could be more majestic than acting like His Majesty and committing genocide?

Prisons serve to remove a person from society (in the civilised world).

Removing a person from society has two subtly different justifications:

1. Prevention: their offence against society is such that society must be protected from them.

Consider the difference between violent crimes (1) and nonviolent crimes (2).

Note that some societies expand (2) to include more punishment than just separation from society.

Men got the credit for them, no matter who actually did the work.

It’s not convenient, it’s survivor bias.
