I had a dream last night that I was watching election returns come in on CNN, and they were using all these super cool looking data visualizations that made absolutely no sense whatsoever, and I couldn't tell what was actually happening. ...I just felt like sharing that.

Koalas March posted:Idk if you do screenwriting my boss is helping me start my own production company and I'd love to showcase black people in Victorian Literature and sci-fi either in short films or webseries. We'd be working on a micro budget but hey, it's something. You're probably aware of it, but there's a twitter account I should mention: @medievalpoc The curator is a grad student I think, and most of what's posted is prominent poc in paintings but a lot of the retweets and some of the asks are good resources for scholarly writings on poc in the past. Obviously the focus is on pre-victorian times but they could probably get you in contact with cool people to speak with.

Yinlock posted:Your points are valid, but they can also be explained by the very fact they bring to light: Paul Ryan is also very stupid. Well that's a truism obviously  Mike Murphy of all people on Radio Free GOP put this well. If you mean to get off the Trump Train, you need to do it yesterday if you want to gain anything from it. No one will give you credit for doing it when it's October and you're down by ten points in your race. Ryan's incentive at this stage is to keep the floor from falling off because if Trump is polling sub-30, even the R base won't turn out and they're going to get eaten alive in Congress races.

Antti posted:Mike Murphy of all people on Radio Free GOP I listened to this podcast on the drive to work this morning based on the thread's recommendation, and thought it was excellent. The whole 40s radio announcer schtick is going to get old by the 3rd episode or so I just know it, but the discussion he had with the Democratic pollster was really insightful, and the blood sample analogy was bang-on. I think I'm going to add this to my regular listening cycle alongside Keepin' It 1600

I don't think that would go well. Trunp would thrive in the chaos of two white dudes trying to talk over a woman. And if Trump were to drop out of the debates and leave Johnson, he would basically be a Generic Republican and we'd be unlikely to see any crazy chaos dunks destroying internet Libertarianism for all of time.

I take the opposite tack: putting Gary Johnson on the debate stage would make that lovely ideology seem a lot more legitimate than it should be, and gives Trump a chance to look better simply by dividing attention between more people.

Lightning Knight posted:So I have to ask, on a semi-related note. Tyler Perry movies. I only really see it in the form of ads on TV, but I read an article once on Tyler Perry and how he's apparently sexist in some of his movies. And I know he's apparently popular, or at least makes movies that are popular, among the black community. I don't know a lot about him or his movies and perceived, from ads, that he basically makes low budget sequel strings as simple comedy entertainment. But the article I had read was talking about some deep seated misogynist and religious undertones in his more serious films that I found troubling. Tyler Perry movies are popular because outside of whatever absurd gimmick Madea has in the movie. Or even in his non Madea stuff. They often portray the messy part of the black family, black relationships, which is something that was rare as poo poo. Like in the 80s 90s and early 00s almost every show or movie about the black family or black relationships was sanitised to all hell to a point where it would be acceptable to white people. They occasionally would have the "Carlton has a gun" one off episode but other than that it was rare to see a black family who's default state was having problems and having to work through those problems as the main thrust of the show or movie. That being said I'm not a fan of his stuff. It's unfunny and can occasionally glorify the worst practices that people still hold corporal punishment, and a whole bunch of problematic stuff about gender roles. Tangentially related, check out this article about the Cosby show. It's pretty good. http://sevenscribes.com/content-cousin-pams-character/

I seem to recall it being brought up in the context of some, hm, shaky historiography, but it's been a while and I don't remember which is which and how well cited everything was.

I agree. Libertarianism is one of those ideologies that sounds great in very quick soundbites but totally falls apart when any sort of actual thought is put into it. Johnson and Trump would pretty much be tag teaming Hillary and neither of them would be getting the responses they deserve. On top of that like you say it would legitimize libertarianism like Trump is currently legitimizing white supremacy by having the media treat it like a Serious Position that warrants debate.

Clinton plans to discuss the Trump campaign's ties to the alt-right in a speech in Reno, NV on Thursday. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/08/23/clinton-plans-thursday-address-in-nevada-on-trump-and-the-alt-right/ This could be good. Looking forward to a week of Trump "just responding. I'm just responding, okay?!" e: OMG. http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/08/23/steve-bannon-donald-trump-s-campaign-ceo-once-wrote-a-rap-musical.html quote:Steve Bannon may have run a race-baiting, alt-right mess of a website, but he also once wrote a rap musical about the 1992 L.A. riots. quote:Agrippa fires back, and in doing so commands the crowd’s attention. emdash fucked around with this message at 13:18 on Aug 23, 2016 |

I heard this mentioned on the Dutch radio yesterday, and they said that he'd get a position in Trump's cabinet should he get elected. They presented it as fact, which kind of surprised me considering I hadn't read anything here about it. Then again, I've been kind of out of the loop the last couple of days. So what's the deal?

That's interesting. He does serious movies too, right? But still, that makes sense and I see how that would be appealing regardless of whether or not he's funny. I will read this article before I pass out. Thanks for the response! I don't feel like Hillary Clinton, one of the most serious of Serious Opinion Havers, should legitimize the alt-right by addressing them directly in anyway. But she is also a more Serious Opinion Haver than me, with well-paid and smart staff people, so I will hope they believe it is a sound move.

Sounds like some local expert spitballing. We have those in Finland. Most of the time they're on point but sometimes they just parrot talking points from CNN or they say something incredibly weird or dumb.

My dream is that she addresses the issue of "alt-right" being a "politically correct" term for neo-nazis and white supremacists.

Like I would be so down for her just straight up calling Trump and his supporters out for being the racist fools they are, but it would galvanize his base and the news would be attracted to it like a lightning rod, it would end up looking terrible for her. On the flip side of that, if she legitimizes them with the term alt-right and addresses them as anything other than what they are, white supremacists, it makes them into a valid political position in the American political discourse, which is unacceptable. I dunno. I don't like it. But I'll wait and see I guess.

When I opened my dash I realized/saw a black flashlight and nearly lost my poo poo. That's horrifying and I don't know what else to say other than sorry. I feel anxiety towards the police but I can't imagine that level of fear.  Dexo, this article on The Cosby Show is very interesting, especially in light of what we now know about him. It feels weird to read because I've never watched the show (I was born a few years after it finished), so I'm somewhat removed, but it's quite interesting.

Guys, we're hosed; he's pivoting: To talking about MSNBC talk show hosts and co-hosts. That's right! One of the front runners for President of the United States is making headlines for talking about morning show anchors.

Just an idea for the future I just thought of, but what if you stored your insurance and registration in the driver's side mirror? You probably never use it otherwise, and can get something from it quickly. I'm probably going to start storing mine there now that I think about it. If you use it for blocking the sun often, you could use a couple of clips to hold the papers there
