Derek Trucks would like a word.

Generally, but I think it is slightly different. You said above that people demanding a company not publish an author made you uncomfortable. What makes me uncomfortable is the publisher caving.

I think it is not a problem if S&S refuses to publish Milo, or if people demand that they don't publish him. What would really be bad is if S&S always caved to such demands, which would result in controversial or minority opinions being easily silenced (which in another era would have included Gay's).

Don't fuck with the NPS, Donny. More people went to National Parks in 2015 than voted for you.

It was actually not a huge hit. It made a profit but not a huge one. Either way, that doesn't change the fact that it was, and still is, regarded by many critics as racist.

Westminster Bridge isn't all that hight off the water. The clearance below it is 18', so it would probably be a 25' drop or so. You'd be fine so long as you can swim.

I haven't seen any of it since I was little, and even then, I probably only saw the part with Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah. But its Wikipedia page suggests it faced a lot of criticism for being racist even when it was released in 1946.

I think I found it!

That would make sense. The Tempest is one of my Shakespeare blind spots.

Honestly, Steve Buscemi is a celebrity that Clinton should have gotten to campaign for her instead of Lena Dunham. The dude was an NYC firefighter who volunteered with his old engine company in the aftermath of 9/11, he's pretty much universally respected, and can actually relate regular people.

*struggles to hold on to 400 floppy disks*

There were oblique Moby Dick references throughout the episode, sometimes via Jaws, the "call me Ishmael" was just the least ambiguous. 1984 was also repeatedly referenced in the Miserable Mill episodes. I can't figure out what the first two are, but I think that there is one literary work that is repeatedly…

With all due respect, that's nonsense. Foreign policy absolutely is related to defense and domestic policy, and vice-versa, and UN-related organizations, like the WHO, IMF, UNESCO, and the UNFCCC are important both in the US and abroad.

It had about 250,000 every year between '03 and '09. The 650,000 figure only applies to the 2013 march, and was reported by the local paper of Monroe County Michigan, and why the hell would they have the most accurate numbers of a march on the national mall?

That is a very narrow, and inaccurate, definition of politics. The UN is absolutely a global political organization.

He also said the layers were all different flavors, implying that they were all food.

I'm really glad they are well organized and attracted so many people, because I think this will make it easier for the organizations involved to accomplish policy goals and resist Trump's policies for the next several years. But the goals of this particular march are so diffuse that it's kind of like trying to chop…

I know I'm late to this party, but it seems to me that the "nations" in "First Nations" implies a type of social organization and cultural unity that was not necessarily true of the indigenous peoples of the Americas, and is generally misleading. The Maya and Inca, for example were both composed of multiple…
