Lol, that’s some bullshit absolutism that doesn’t allow for shades of gray. Approrpiate that it’s coming from a child since putting the world into such black and white terms is childish

A big Lost Causer “historian” that had a huge say in shaping the narrative of Ken Burns’ touchstone Civil War and was one of the big talking heads in the doc. The documentary is dated and full of historical revisionism  and needs an update.

Oh for sure. That whole documentary needs to be remade or seriously edited with all Foote’s Confederacy fetishism. Hell, in the 1990s, Shelby said that he would have fought for the confederacy if he could. To give that abject racism such a prominent voice in one of the touchstone documentaries devalues the whole…

This seems to be a major misreading. Myles isn’t saying that Love Victor fails to represent every inch of the spectrum. It’s that this show is heavily sanitized for a world that doesn’t need to be and has had multiple other shows that have already handled what Love Victor does but better.

I love Looking, but Love…

The Golden Girls room felt like it was doing references, not jokes. Like “Remember this? Wasn’t this funny then? Doesn’t thinking about it make you laugh?”

Well... they couldn’t have picked a better title. Maybe “Pity and Privilege”?

Are they just going to ADR “Darkseid” whenever Steppenwolf is said?

Currently 100 pages from the end and have been reading for the past month. Skipped a chapter that wasn’t worth the trouble. I’ll stick to streams I’m used to, my Woolf

Well, other than Miz Cracker and Aquaria coming in with baked-in drama because of a yellow rain coat outfit or something. Also the season with The Vixen, so the producers already had their villain that season.

Ooh, nice! I’ll check it out. I read Chernow’s biography of Grant which, other than Wikipedia and random internet articles, has been my main source of post-shitty-high-school Reconstruction knowledge

True! But then later in life he tried to atone for it as President. Whether you believe that’s enough, YMMV.

If You See JK
Tell her she may

Grant is massively underrated as a President and a General. His alcoholism was only a problem in the army when he was bored and away from his wife. He had it control in actual battles and in later life. The Lost Causers denigrated him while sanctifying Lee. It’s all too transparent now.

I also would like a massive…

When was the last time you watched an American show that included lessons around unionizing

Because Mormon Nailer is a transphobic asshole that thinks trans men who still menstruate are “women”, so saying people is redundant.

Grifters playing both sides. Fuck them

omg, it’s just milkshake duck trying to revitalize his image. stay canceled, you proto-foie gras

Meghan McCain works perfectly here too, down to the performative LGBT support (performative because you can’t support LGBT people AND be married to a homo+transphobia propaganda peddler)

40% of Chicago’s budget goes to the police. 40 fucking%! And that’s in addition to the hundreds of millions of dollars in police brutality settlements. The city government shut down the entire CTA line during the day, they shut down food distribution for children, they declared curfews ten minutes before imposing…

Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney radicalized me (okay, not really, but still a great game told from a defense perspective in a super heavy prosecutorial state)
