The podcast is interesting btw. I covers a huge range of people, events and places. I highly recommend.

I agree, but I find the idea that not knowing about this event equals all around ignorance and stupidity, when it doesn't necessarily. Everyone has an intellectual blind spot somewhere.

You can find out about anything, but that doesn't make everything interesting, relevant, or significant to you. I LOVE history, but Ive had the Caroline Herschel:Astronomy's Cinderella episode of the Stuff You Missed In History Class podcast loaded on my phone for days without listening because I think astronomy is…

What TV channels talk about the Challenger Explosion nonstop? When I was young even the history channel was all Hitler all the time, and now it's Pawn Stars and dumb reality shows about logging.

It's also school history books, edited for kids. Learning about the challenger in school, they had pictures of everyone alive and well. No explosions, no clouds in the books. Further research would have brought it up, definitely, but as recent America-centric history is not where my interest lies, and science and…

It's not even about naming an event that happened. It's about seeing an out of context photo of an event and being able to name it. I fully agree that the poster should've done their research before sharing the image, but the outrage over not immediately seeing that photo and knowing it was that Challenger disaster is…

So do, I which is why I made it clear that I could see myself posting this on a private in-office mood board, and not a public company account. That requires more due diligence.

I recognize the Hindenburg disaster images and the Kent State images- the challenger I know of, but I haven't seen ( I've seen photos of the crew in training, and of the teacher that trained, but not the explosion). I'm also a huge history nerd, but I admittedly have my own biases as to which segments of history I…

This. If you're publicly sharing something on behalf of your company, it's your responsibility to find sources. Even if you weren't looking for context, you still need to find out who made the image. I can fully understand not recognizing the photo, but you can't just go around reblogging everything in your company's…

They say it's an international employee as well, which explains it more. Also, millennials still know about history, but you have to remember as more time goes on and more and more events pile up, things that were a BIG deal at the time often become a blip on the historical radar later, and niche history for people…

Dang. 1991 here, and I could see myself doing the same thing. I know OF the challenger disaster, but I've never seen photos or footage. I wouldn't post it publicly - you've always got to check sources and photo credits to post publicly- but I could totally see me printing out a pic for my company's in office…

I don't even fully like Donald Glover, but come on! Don Glover should be playing Richard Pryor.

It was banned at first but they eventually showed it in the Us, maybe 2 or 3 years after it aired in Canada. It involved Craig wanting to keep the baby, Manny asking Spike for advice because Spike was a teen mom, Emma freaking out because Spike could've aborted her so she's against abortion, and eventually Manny's…

In Detroit, we used to go into our basement every July 4 and New Years. It took years for me to realize it was a defensive measure and not just a normal tradition.

I understand the Brits not learning about US independence in detail- they're a much older place with a longer recorded history and a HUGE empire. But not knowing what a colony is? I don't believe that they never taught that in school. Thar person is just a dummy.

Travel companies always jack up the price on holiday weekends. That's just a known quantity.

I'll admit that Ken can rock a lavender mesh top, sure.

Downside- Barbie chooses all of his outfits, AND he has to go along with whatever she's into, even if it makes him look like a total idiot.

That's how having a sibling works. It's like getting an extra memory. Any time you forget something stupid you did, they're right there to remind you.

It's sad to say it, but circulating an email is progress from lynching. That people even try to code their racism gives me hope because it makes it that much harder for the next generation to learn it. It's a process almost as slow as evolution itself, but we are changing as a society, and it's a visible change since…
