The fact that many of the items come from people’s homes make this museum sound just that much more interesting. I’ve come to the conclusion that most history buffs are by nature inquisitive (i.e. nosy).

One of the weirdest things about moving to Toronto was feeling like I lived in a movie all the time. My workplace was a common filming location; the street I lived on, also a common filming location. I knew about neither before I got there. Having my commute fucked up by trailers got old really fast.

Stargate SG-1, every planet was somewhere in British Columbia.

I knew Canada was huge, but that’s The Doctors telephonebox huge.

As a foreigner, I’ve learned that all of the USA is in Vancouver. Like when Mulder and Scully traveled all around Vancouver, or when the San Diego coastline was really in Vancouver in Psych.

I miss the days when the whole world, nay the hole universe in various series was basically represent by wooded area somewhere in Vancouver.

Scene: Nebraska

She has a blender and plenty of silly straws

Here. For. It! Anything she touches turns to gold.

Yeah, the presence of two planes in close proximity and low-visibility in close airspace was definitely the highest danger-factor for the pilots.

Cavazos, the A-10 pilot, who was later awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for valor, told me what happened next.

There’s no such thing as a left wing fascist. Left wing is inherently anti-fascist.

Oh FFS, here we go again with the “Democrats were opposed to civil rights” bullshit. Don’t you people get tired of repeating the same crap over and over? Yes, Southern Democrats opposed the Civil Rights Act, which is why they became Republicans after Nixon invited them into the party, a.k.a. the “Southern Strategy.”…

Same deal but school textbooks promoting Christian, Conservative, Creationist, Southern ideals style viewpoint. Slavery was downplayed and slavers were basically referred to as “workers coming to the US”. This was 2015.

Wait, you covered the same history in 5th and 6th grade? Or are you saying you can just somehow tell that one historical period was being covered more fairly than another? And this is somehow tied into a larger national trend and not just some arbitrary decisions made by an overworked school board?

Too bad the only history we Americans ever pick up comes from what’s etched at the base of a statue...

Too obvious, too cartoonish. Better luck next time. Next.

Ah, you mean the whole thing with school books in Texas?

Do you not understand the difference between celebrating someone by placing their statute in a public square and remembering history in a museum or at a battlefield? Many of the confederate statues were placed as a symbol of white supremacy, which is evidenced by inscriptions in the statutes and contemporary news…

Nah, the only piece of shit I’ve seen in this article so far is you, buddy.
