One day maybe we’ll get a Kingdom Come adaptation faithful to the artwork.

They do and I wish they’d stop trying to chat me up at the water cooler.

I’m unconvinced the stock market as a whole knows fuck-all about preparing for coming shifts in the auto industry.

You’re falling behind. Purple monkey dishwasher is the new autonomous cloud.

This is more than a ploy to get votes, though it does help with that.

If it had gone the way he’d intended, the front end would have come around immediately and he’d be headed down the street.

Maybe there’s an answer to be found in working the other side of the problem — replacing “white.” Though I suppose that’s been done with “privileged” and the problem is its antonyms remain problematic.

I believe Chevy first put that in the C7 Corvette. Which I haven’t checked out in person for a few reasons, but I think once saved it’s selected by a detent on a physical dial, isn’t it? That seems a pretty good way to go. I’m a fan of simple physical interfaces to manage situational / “mood” changes; I always laugh…

And what’s meant is privileged vs marginalized. (I started to type “disadvantaged” but to me that term has been turned by deliberate use to allow the privileged to distance and disclaim responsibility by passive voice — it’s about misfortune, as if it’s no one’s fault but perhaps your own. Part of personal…

I think 2044 is just general population, not voters. Consider practical disenfranchisement (gerrymandering, discriminatory access) as well as legal disenfranchisement (felony conviction) and the tipping point might never come.

Is “marginalized” then a better term going forward than “minority?” If the former sounds more negative, is that just because we’re accustomed to using the latter as a euphemism to avoid “color” and its distasteful “ed” form?

This language is specific to the overwhelmingly dominant cultural issue of the effects of racism by whites on ... what, do you rattle off a list a mile long here? If you say “everyone else” is that better than non-white or people of color or insert-your-term-here? If you don’t have a term to describe the forest, then…

I’m hopeful this kind of grouping is just a transitional period in the industry.

If you’re having a conversation about the American (Western European?) cultural issue of discrimination or oppression on the basis of race, shouldn’t there be a term to describe (and unite) the people being subjected to that discrimination or oppression? One that doesn’t have the idea of “victim” baked into the name?

Some of it reliving the election, because any criticism of 45 is heard as “this is another reason you should have voted for Clinton,” i.e. sour grapes.

I think the term is problematic and we don’t need to try to reclaim it.

America’s Sweetheart seems like a stifling title, a piece of patriarchal baggage.

2040's a long way off. The urban/rural graph’s 27 years old. The 538 article predates a certain real estate swindler running for President, and we’ve lost count of the number of universal truths he’s bent over and had his way with. Not sure what the relevance of the education graph is. What I see in the religion graph…

“Now that you’ve denied my right to fully participate in government, I will throw myself into activism and become a public champion, speaking for the men afraid to speak out against the overreaching oppression of modern feminism and political correctness.”

For anyone who can’t quite get there with overalls, try cargo/contractor pants. Not the cheap slim-cut slip-of-paper pocketed cargo pants that were popular years ago, but the garments blue-collar pros wear.
