I’m really enjoying that they left the star wars galaxy. I agree that we maybe be moving to something different here, which is exciting. 

Western notions of race don’t universally apply. In this case, there is a American media company making a film about Cleopatra. Claims of arab identity or black identity are race based categories based on different readings of the historical record. If the “truth” of what happened is the ultimate factor in what’s the…

What a great idea! Why hadn’t any else thought to eliminate the troublesome aspects of the past? Eliminating Slytherin is definitely going to make the world a more just and equitable place. Right on!

I agree with this. I haven’t played the original game past the half way point, but I didn’t really get the impression that Joel was merely a protector, but also a kind of a terrorist

I do not know the “real” situation here but there have been many documented instances of Russian and Chinese Government efforts to stir controversy about American pop culture issues, a kind of long term strategy to sow dissent. I get that that is a kind of a bugaboo, the specter of foreign interference, but I read in…

That’s a bummer. I hope they can fix it. I’ve been absolutely loving nothing, forever. It’s the strangest thing and oddly captivating.

I had heard/read about the spear in other sources. And I don’t even really play videogames too much (I just like to read about them).

I stand with the writer.

That’s a pretty ahistorical take. Capitalism works by folks acquiring surplus in order to make money. The Western world has been doing this, in particular British colonialism in the 1800s and the US in the 1900s, for a long time. We could call this capitalism. In the present day, when China, India, and countries that…

Yes, it’s in season 3, episode 8

Because you personally don’t notice UI/UX doesn’t mean that a) it doesn’t matter, and b) that others don’t. If it doesn’t matter to you then maybe this conversation is not for you?

It’s too bad the Eastward didn’t take the correct view on bodies and queer coded men...sounds like it could have a been a good game. 

I’d also add, and from my understanding, Taiwan was taken by the Japanese in 1895 during the first sino-japanese war. So as, Taiwan was part of China previous to that date, and for the last 100 plus years its been seen as captured territory. Long story short, the “One China” policy is a reaction against the colonial…

While I have no doubt that you, Drips, are a stand up citizen, maybe it’s a bit irresponsible to accuse total strangers of sexual harassment based on what you read about them on the internet?

Maybe we shouldn’t be in the business of identifying suspects based on what they look/act like? I dunno. Seems like a slippery slope to me. 

This is a perfect example of the left eating its own. 

Why was Splinter closed? I’m just wondering. I enjoyed reading it. 

Brave truth teller Billy Haisley, perhaps you’d like to comment on Splinter’s sudden closing.

I’m so confused. What is the correct way to think about Ellen? 

I live in China. Folks love the NBA and basketball here. Like, a lot a lot. I’m very curious as to how this is going to play out. If the NBA really takes the kind of stand this letter asks them to take and further (down this slippery slope) basketball becomes a political issue such that playing or watching basketball o…
