Reply to comment by Billypisschips in TIL Winston Churchill opposed the American use of napalm during the Korean war but still allowed Americans to publish claims of British support for American napalm attacks. by jamescookenotthatone
He was also responding to the Amritsar massacre where British troops opened up with machine guns on protesters killing like 300 people. I’m sure using tear gas is lame to all of us in 2022, but tear gas instead of machine guns sounds downright progressive for something that happened 100 years ago

Reply to comment by Radiobandit in TIL Stan Lee made the X-Men mutants because he didn't want to come up with a reason for their super powers, instead they were just born with them. Additionally the 1963 comic was initially a flop until the 1975 reboot by Len Wein and Dave Cockrum. by jamescookenotthatone
Good thing I like Black Forest cake
