there is not a single role chris pratt does that jack black couldn’t do better
at the people saying jack black couldn’t play star lord: why? no really, go ahead and tell me. I think I know the answer but I want to hear you say it.
people always talk about how the masses used to watch gladiator fights or public executions for fun, but we rarely discuss how people also went to human medical surgery’s for sport and entertainment, just showed up in a big tent and watched official operations, sometimes a flutist played music in the corner for it
like, “I’m not not dying of some random disease or having to work a 50 hour work day today, better go watch some dude get his leg sawed off in a science tent.”
what I’m saying is that it’s good we invented tv

The internet is a great way for young people interested in political activism to burn themselves out and become disillusionned with the left without ever actually contributing to anything that really exists. The woke online zone has all the downsides of real activism (constantly dealing with obnoxious pedants, the endless stream of people who have no actual investment in achieving left wing goals but stick around for the social aspect/access to young women, constant ideological disputes) with none of the benefits (actually helping anyone in any way whatsoever)

A great example of how complicated the repatriation issue can be for museums is the mummy in the collections of the science museum I worked for. He came to the museum in the early 20th century, because a rich local couple thought it would legitimize their local museum for it to have a mummy, bought one while on vacation in Egypt, and donated him. Now, of course, the ethics of having a mummy in collections and particularly on display are much more of a discussion than they were then, because the museum field has evolved so much. But because of the way he was acquired, when the museum spoke to representatives in Egypt about returning him, they declined – apparently they were only interested in taking back mummies that have historical or identifying information attached, and this mummy, purchased as a literal tourist souvenir, came to the museum with no archaeological history whatsoever.
At that point, what do you do with the mummy? I don’t think it needs to be said that it would obviously be horrible to destroy him, but since he can’t be returned, that means he has to remain in the museum collections. Even though his acquisition is a relic of colonialist attitudes and the museum is working hard to rid itself of those, that doesn’t change the fact that he was acquired in the first place. And so the mummy stays. The decision to have him on display is a different one, but part of the museum’s logic is that presenting an exhibit with such a complicated narrative helps teach people about the ethical discussions museums need to have. In the same room where he is found, they also display letters from community members voicing their own opinions, as well as the information they were told by the people in Egypt who they originally contacted about returning him. I attended a special training about how we should talk to visitors about the mummy in order to be as respectful as possible – using he/him pronouns instead of “it” ones, being given the full narrative of his acquisition so that we could be honest about the terrible attitudes that lead to him being there in the first place, and etc. I have some of my own qualms and disagreements about the situation, but that doesn’t change the fact that a lot more is going on than simply seeing an American museum that won’t give back an Egyptian mummy.
Museums have a lot on their shoulders, and while some are absolutely not doing enough and need to address that, the flip side of accountability is also understanding the things that other museums are doing. If we are going to make appropriate demands about the actions these places need to take, we also need to understand the circumstances they’re in, as well as the things they’ve already done. It’s not a pretty, easy picture, but it’s the reality of the situation, and in the same way we don’t expect most things to be resolved overnight, it’s a dialogue that will take time. That’s why communication about these things is so important.
Leslie Feinberg on trans exclusion in feminist spaces.
“We’re in danger of losing what the entire second wave of feminism, what the entire second wave of women’s liberation was built on, and that was ‘Biology is not destiny’. ‘One is not born a woman,’ Simone de Beauvoir said, ‘one becomes one’. Now there’s some place where transsexual women and other women intersect. Biological determinism has been used for centuries as a weapon against women, in order to justify a second-class and oppressed status. How on Earth, then, are you going to pick up the weapon of biological determinism and use it to liberate yourself? It’s a reactionary tool.”
From TransSisters: The Journal of Transsexual Feminism, issue 7, volume 1. 1995.
THIS SHOW IS SO PURE!
It’s worth noting that Kenneth spent the entire episode making the game (and the subsequent fight) as inclusive as possible for JJ and his disabled friends (all of whom were played by disabled actors/actresses).

Of course I had to show the best part:
“I don’t know who needs to hear this but you are not a capitalist. You are a salaried employee working in an industry owned by an actual capitalist. People keep confusing simple commerce– which has always existed–with capitalism, a specific type of economy. 1/
Folks swear up and down they are capitalists and don’t actually own anything. The people who have the power to repossess your belongings if you miss a payment are the true capitalist. You are a worker and a consumer trying to be in false class solidarity w/ billionaires. 2/2″

The fact that Dante created the most popular image of the afterlife with absolutely no theological basis for it will still be the funniest thing to me
The Emmy’s snubbing the amazingly talented trans women and non-binary actors on Pose ....... a show about trans people... and only nominating a cis man from the show just doesn’t sit right.
THEY DESERVE RECOGNITION FOR THEIR TALENT
