Eh, can't find any sources that aren't blatantly biased. The only thing I could find from the excerpt is this: https://www.slj.com/?detailStory=weeding-out-racisms-invisible-roots-rethinking-childrens-classics-libraries-diverse-books "I’m not advocating we ban classics. Or erase the past. Classics are undoubtedly examples of excellent writing, or they wouldn’t have survived the test of time. I’m just suggesting we study classics in social studies classrooms, where inherent ideas of inequity are exposed and examined; where Huckleberry Finn may be viewed as an example of literature that showcases the white lens. Delay the study of classics until readers are mature enough to question, debate, and defy subtle assertions. Dissect classics in college by setting aside time to delve into both literary merits and problematic assumptions. Redefine parochial notions of what “well-read” means; after all, British children are unaware of many celebrated American authors." Seems to be fairly uncontroversial, but I'm not enough of a hackpundit to write for WSJ or THE BLAZE so what do I know?

Something we've all done. I finished Seeing like a State last night. Will probably end up starting Against the Grain sometime this week.

I didn't really play too many video games this year. I finished Pathfinder Kingmaker after dropping it a few times over the last couple of years. It's good for a D&D "totally not D&D with a kitchen sink thrown in" romp, but you can ignore much of the story and not really miss anything. I played a **** load of Smash Brothers Ultimate. Probably one of the better fighting games out there. I played a coop DOS2 with my fiance and she ended up killing me to become a god. Finally got around to Vampyr. Was pretty good but controls are funky.

My signature can change on a daily basis due to poor writing, so not a good thing. Of course the idea behind a lot of this stuff is to invalidate votes so I guess it works for that.

The most important thing is you do what's fun, if you aren't enjoying the game then I don't see the point of playing it. Toning down the difficulty for a difficult fight is something I would definitely do if trying to slog through it on higher difficulty was tedious or boring. Well it is called "Insane" after all.

If the shrimp want to survive they should simply stop being eaten and move to an area that isn't in danger of pollution.

I think Trump wants to be seen as the guy who got $2k in people's pockets going out the door when others wanted to settle for $600 in order to gild an otherwise horrible legacy. Biden will probably not get much done over the next few years, both because of Mitch's strategy and his own position as a centrist, so in the fairly likely event Trump runs again and we have some economic problems it's a good image to project.

I guess the McConsole is now inevitable.

You're overthinking space wizards and pew-pew fights my dude.

I got more of a godzilla enemy vibe from the big monster. Not enough overemphasis on madness. Ma Rainey's Black Bottom. Solid movie, but it felt short and you could tell it was a play adaptation. Will be weird if this is Chadwick Boseman's last performance.

I'm not even that old but my muscles feel uncomfortably stiff in the cold.

I dunno, it seems kinda cussed that the folks rulingrepresenting us can potentially profit from say a plague that has seen a lot of people driven to destitution and 300000 corpses with information the lowly peasants ain't privy to. Looking it up congresscritters are already getting over twice the median income so I don't really have much sympathy for investment woes of some rich folks when people I know barely can afford rent and are on the gofundme healthcare plan.

Yakuza.

The age gap is half a century so unless they're going Mr. House it's practically certain.

-2 years.

Maybe it'll be good if they give it the Mandalorian and/or jettison the Whedon style, but it seems that everything that dude touches is boring and cringe.

What I've heard is the game doesn't let you kill cops because there is no driving AI and has a couple of bits that could be references to white nationalist (or worse, reddit) memes, which is pretty ****. Wish there was more of that instead of just 20 minutes of ****ting on people who need to defend corporations tbh, but it wasn't bad.

Honestly it's too tiresome to keep up with anymore. It will never be over, Trump will keep this up until he dies or gets back in and his cult will continue after his death.

It's always good to wake up to alternative law & order in the morning. https://religionnews.com/2020/12/13/proud-boys-burn-black-lives-matter-signs-at-churches-in-washington/ “It pained me especially to see our name, Asbury, in flames,” she said. “For me it was reminiscent of cross burnings.”

The real achievement is watching something after it stopped being cool.

It tracks with the rest of her history on lbgt stuff and shouldn't be surprising unless you bought into some hype. You mean Caster Semenya? There was a rule change requiring athletes competing in 400m to 1500m races with disorders of sex development to take medication to lower testosterone. Given the narrow scope of the requirements, it was alleged that the rule was specifically aimed at Semenya. In other news Proud Boys vandalized a couple of black churches in DC and their leader was invited by Trump to tour the white house as a reward. Even with Trump's coup faltering, it looks like he's going to end up cultivating a right-wing street movement that will end up killing some people.

Everything I hear about this game makes me want to wait until it's bundled with dlc and $20.

This is really the dumbest timeline.

It's probably worse.

Not to me. I understand I'm at least a decade younger than you (in all likelihood closer to 2), but since I was a kid all I've really seen from the Republicans is shady dealings, authoritarianism, and increasingly deranged conspiracy theories with a thin veneer of platitudes invoking freedom that would set off anyone's bull**** detector. Trump isn't so much a departure from the Republican party as it has existed for at least two decades as he is representative of the conclusions of the strategies and policies it had been using to govern and win elections.
