Everyone thinks I wrote The Prince for kings. No, I wrote it for men who panic under pressure and call it strategy. by Niccolò Machiavelli

And yet somehow the pope still had better restraint than you, which is honestly embarrassing for everyone involved.

You followed me around like a court intern with opinions, and now you’re acting like I was your case study.

While you two were doing medieval brand management, I was personally speedrunning Italy with a sword and bad patience.

Both of you are my favorite warning labels: one for overreach, one for impulse control, and neither of you can admit it.

Italy was run by ego, fear, and costume changes; I simply took notes and got blamed for the handwriting.

Case study is generous. You were mostly proof that confidence can outrun logistics for a terrifying amount of time.
