It felt like the pilot for a spinoff show. You know some of the characters, but the setting and the plot are something new. And I’m okay with that. Looks like they’ve dropped the timeline baggage, since everything seemed to happen 3 months later (TBD on Maeve’s storyline, I suppose).

I’ve got no scruples and a WaPo subscription, so here ya go:

the Post is paywalled, so they probably don’t want to directly repost it here. It’s at the link so if you’re not “out of free articles” you can get it.

“LIVE FREE OR DIAL.”

Personally I think it’s a bit of a superiority complex, exhibiting itself as “well we’d never be so stupid”, as though the Germans are a special case in regards to militarism and authoritarianism. It allows people who don’t want to actually examine the past an easy get out, bit like blaming various Presidents’ worst…

But unfortunately that nuanced and more importantly truthful depiction of Germans in The War doesn’t sit well with a public and critics who since kids have watched entertainment that featured one-dimensional drawings of all Germans as evil robots out to kill everyone, which is why any game, TV show, or film with said…

And yet another hot take of why JoJo is meh because “it’s not that good a Holocaust film” when it’s not trying to be a Holocaust film.

I wish I could say I endured, but no, after 3 episodes I could not longer watch it. Hoping to find some magic The Simpsons and Futurama delivered, I watched those episodes, but damn are they boring. I think I smiled one or two times but it felt as if the series was a drama show instead of a comedy one. Too bad because…

I have to second Matt Berry’s casting as the younger brother and basically playing his character from The IT Crowd was magical. The moment I heard his voice I knew the character was going to be great and I was right. There is something about the cadence of his voice that lends itself so well to upper class buffoonery.…

Because the world isn’t designed for us wheelchair users.
I had a discussion recently with my partner who is a trained architect, she told me she was never taught to design for the disabled because able bodied people don’t think about it.
She only thought about it when she had to design a hospital space.
Since being…

Any part of an accessible route with a slope greater than 1:20 shall be considered a ramp and shall comply with 4.8. The least possible slope shall be used for any ramp. The maximum slope of a ramp in new construction shall be 1:12. The maximum rise for any run shall be 30 in (760 mm).

Yeah that is a little baffling, as a disabled person myself I picture that in science fiction they dealt with these issues. Maybe a sort of nanobots that dealt with the cancer without resorting to amputation. Or maybe some box they put over an amputated limb and it builds the person a new limb. Or simply prosthetics…

There’s actually a specific slope and rise for ramps in order to be ADA compliant. Falcon’s is way too steep/short. 

She was originally supposed to be a regular.

Disability is a problem that should be solved though. It’s not “ableist opinion” to prefer having body parts that function and to cure those that don’t.

Seriously, and every time it’s dumber than the last. I remember being stunned by the gentryfying idiot calling the cops on a damn ice cream van, but now that seems like one of the more pedestrian calls. It feels a lot like “black in public” is going from just, the real reason that fucker called, to an actual crime…

Can we talk for a moment about how Janelle Bynum has a Bachelor’s in Electrical Engineering, an MBA from Michigan, runs four restaurants as a small business owner, and has four children? She won her seat because she campaigns on a positive message of funding education, supporting small business, and fairness for all…

Wow! That’s some class on Bynum’s part. Love how she spun that into a campaign ad :-) I would have been so scared! Maybe Bynum should run for the National House in 2020!

SHUT UP VAN JONES! SHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUP!!!
