"Pepe the Frog cartoonist forces withdrawal of 'alt-right' children's book"
https://www.theguardian.com/books/2017/aug/30/pepe-the-frog-cartoonist-forces-withdrawal-of-alt-right-childrens-book

quote:


Furie’s lawyers have also successfully stopped the distribution of Eric Hauser’s children’s book The Adventures of Pepe and Pede. According to the Washington Post, the book sees Pepe and “his best friend Centipede” – centipede is a term for Trump supporters – as they attempt to “bring freedom back to Wishington Farm”, battling an alligator named “Alkah” with buds from “the honesty tree”. Hauser was an assistant principal at a Texas middle school until details of the book became public.

Hauser, who subsequently resigned, told the Dallas Morning News that he had been unaware of Pepe the Frog’s association with the white supremacist movement until he published the book, believing him instead to be a conservative meme. He told the Dallas Observer that the book was was not intended to be racist.

But WilmerHale, the law firm representing Furie, said the book “espoused racist, Islamophobic and hate-filled themes, included allusions to the alt-right movement and was deliberately targeted at children”. The firm said that when Hauser was threatened with litigation he admitted infringement, and agreed to stop distribution of the book in all forms. It is no longer for sale on Amazon.

The grocery store I go to in South Jersey has had a sign up for a few months saying that some produce has been in short supply due to weather conditions, I wonder how much of that is actually due to weather and how much is due to our impending immigrant farm labor problem?

Probably 50/50. The weather's been weird in the South this summer. It would go weeks without raining and then we'd get a downpour that lasts all night. My Trump voting relatives all do sustenance farming and it killed half their crops.

So let me get this straight. metaphorically you decided the Titanic had too few lifeboats, but no one would listen. so you stole the lookout's binoculars so they couldn't see the iceberg, let the ship ram it and now are watching 1500 other people die so some assholes might see the error of their ways and you gloat about this and think yourself someone a step above shitbag?
Congrats on being dumber than a Trump voter. You knew better and did it anyways. And then ran away from your actions. You are the lowest type of shitbag.

Nah, there's no way I can take your twisted metaphor and apply it to what I actually did, and moreover, you're just making GBS threads up EHF's thread. You want some long-winded explanation, you can either read my entire post history starting about 2015, or you can PM me if you really care.

you could be born into a well off Roman family in 390 or so and learn to write and give the proper speeches to get ahead in the imperial civil service and by the end of your life you're living in a wood-and-mud hut and scratching letters into an old shard of broken pottery because there hasn't been parchment for decades and you can only use pottery shards to write on because that amphora finally broke irreparably because you'd repaired it so many times because the local pottery industry also collapsed decades ago

This seems to contradict the article? Like, Japanese buildings have been built too weak for the earthquakes we now know they can face, a lot of west coast cities aren't even designed for earthquakes in the first place. As for not having a big one for over a century, they had one in 1923, the previous one being two centuries earlier. Meanwhile, the Pacific north west is nearing a century of overshoot compared to the average time between massive earthquakes. Or is the article wrong?

Isn't this a major exaggeration of the actual day-to-day effect of the end of the Roman Empire? Sure, the empire lost the ability to kick everyone's asses, but the above seems to basically assume that the former Roman Empire became more primitive than the barbarians that brought it down.

i can only speak for CA but we take earthquakes very loving seriously here and probably have the most robust earthquake building codes for the types of quakes we will see

also, a lot of the "built buildings too weak for the earthquakes they can face" stuff is because we now know there are several different types of shaking during an earthquake instead of the one type most everything was built to

the good news is that outside of some very rare earthquakes most stuff will still survive now and those rare types aren't really known for being "big" here but there is still a small chance for one which is where you'll get headlines about buildings not being ready for the next big one

The article is about the cities outside CA, where earthquakes aren't taken seriously at all from the sound of it, and where the potential earthquakes are quite a bit stronger too. As the article points out, the idea of "the big one" in California is something that people are actually aware off the world over, while the population of Portland probably doesn't realize that it could be the epicenter of a natural disaster that kills three times as many people in the city alone as all natural disasters in the US since 1900.

From the article it seems to be a straight up "underestimated the potential energy released" kinda deal, as opposed to the buildings not being built to survive earth quakes releasing more of their energy into a specific type of shaking.
