@jaredwhite @ct_bergstrom And reading any of its books is a game of "spot the whole-cloth fabrications spanning the full gamut of plausibility"
@jaredwhite @ct_bergstrom Imagine a printing press that can only print mashups of books that already exist...
@bkahn @scottsantens The cost of infrastructure maintenance doesn't look good on executive resumes the way "I lowered costs" does.
@TootUncommon@mstdn.party @Lady_Star_Gem I know what it means. How you imagine it applies here isn't even interesting.
@NatalieDavis For hell's sake, Norman Rockwell even did a painting about it. Imagine being so far right that you think Norman Rockwell is "woke".

Meanwhile, in Florida...
"The Disney movie “Ruby Bridges,” which tells the tale of a 6-year-old who integrated New Orleans schools in the 1960s, has been a staple of Pinellas County Black History Month lessons for years.
(...)
A North Shore Elementary parent who would not allow her child to watch the film when it was shown in early March later complained that it wasn’t appropriate for second graders. In a formal challenge dated March 6, Emily Conklin wrote that the use of racial slurs and scenes of white people threatening Ruby as she entered a school might result in students learning that white people hate Black people.
Pinellas school officials responded by banning the movie from use by all students at the St. Petersburg school until a review committee can assess it."
I have no words for this bullsh*t. Hiding "uncomfortable" history from children is how we end up with ignorant adults.
@JohnShirley2023 It's possible Tarzan is indeed near-immortal if Philip Jose Farmer's Wold Newton hypothesis is correct.

@pieist Yes true. It was publicity for the overall effort. If we can make obsolete even a substantial portion of the land we're misusing to raise beef, and the slaughterhouses, why that'll be a fine thing indeed.
@JohnShirley2023 Huge supporter of meat replacement, but I shudder at the symbolism of using the flesh of a sapient being almost certainly helped to extinction by man for the purpose. (They even spliced in elephant DNA. Elephants are kind, compassionate and intelligent. They're people if anyone is.)
@JohnShirley2023 My oh-so-clever take on really mindblowingly improbable coincidences is that we don't take any notice of the countless trillions of incredibly unlikely things that *aren't* happening any given moment.

@rudytheelder Take that, doubters. "Thor" is just science.
@scottsantens Don't be so sure. You might want to go back and read Winsor McCay's turn of the century strip "Dream of the Rarebit Fiend" again.
Still, it's only fair that people seeking asylum in Britain should be shown just what really it is they're seeking. The hotel thing was rather a bait-and-switch. For maximum verisimilitude, the utility company should break in without a warrant and shut off their power.

Nikki Haley: “We need to acknowledge the whole issue. And the whole issue is [the shooter in Nashville] was struggling and there was nobody there to help her.”'
Wow, tell me the shooter was white without telling me the shooter was white. i don''t recall her ever mentioning that George Floyd was struggling and there was nobody there to help him. And he wasn't murdering schoolchildren.

@pieist @pebonilla “Graduation requirements include ten units of history, ten units of biology or anatomy, at least one foreign language, and at least one year throwing sharp pieces of metal at mentally ill people.”
@pebonilla @Popehat Like the rest of them, that story doesn't say whether Wayne State University is endowed by Batman. Just bad journalism.
@RollingStone “We need to acknowledge the whole issue. And the whole issue is [the shooter in Nashville] was struggling and there was nobody there to help her.”'

Never really understood why nobody ever wanted to come over and play Manholes of Venus™️ until I stumbled on this historic document just now.
