I asked the Milhist Discord to track this reference down. This refers to a statement made on the Senate floor by Senator James Eastland of Mississippi on June 29, 1945. In this, he is massively critical of the 92nd Infantry Division (which was the only African American unit to be deployed into combat), claiming that the men of this unit "had no initiative, no sense of responsibility, very low intelligence, and were a failure". This was the least pleasant portion of this statement - he later goes on to claim that the residents of Normandy suffered less under the German occupation than under American black support units. He later became known as one of the leading opponents of the Civil Rights Act, was a vocal supporter of Rhodesia, and played a significant role in the anti-communist witch hunts of the 50s.

"Utterly soulless" Axa you.. You do realise they're bugs, don't you? They're really big, yes, but they're still bugs. Classic Kevin & Kell (February 26 - March 4, 2001)        Right around now, we're in the middle of the Dot-Com Bubble bursting. To make a long story very short, in the late '90s The Internet was seen as The New Hotness, and lots of companies purpoting to make money off of it sprung up. Most of them didn't have a viable business plan beyond "internet," but investors didn't care, and kept pumping money into the dot-com market. In March 2000, the bubble reached its peak and burst: lots of companies went belly-up, lots of people lost their jobs, and many investors lost quite a bit of money. (I don't really care about venture capitalists, they can go and get hosed, but among those investors were also common people who lost their lives' savings on the illusion of easy money, usually spurred on by financial promoters of dubious morality.) tl;dr of the Dot-Com Bubble: STONKS, until NOT STONKS.

Evil Mastermind posted:Man, Jack was totally out of his league, wasn't he? In over his head strikes me as the more appropriate expression here. Out of his league implies that Shauna and her family are highly desirable, when he sees them more as eccentric and is only comforted when he realizes that the family doesn't understand Shauna's brutalism obsession either.

I was watching through an old photo album last week that my uncle compiled. Don't know most of the people, hardly any of us do. It told me you should write down this stuff while you're still alive because your descendants won't know who most of these people are. Some had info though, like "cousins sons in america", all of them emigrated. Did get a cool photo of my granddad at work though from the 60s. He only lived to be 69 (smoking and asbestos exposure), got outlived by his own dad who died 4 years later, then only a few months from 102. Born in 1888 and died in 1990, helluva run. I believe he also went to america, but went back, and brought back an indian motorcycle, like one of the very first models made, sits in a museum now I am told.

The archives where I work has hundreds of thousands of photos and almost 250 photo albums, and only a few of them have any kind of identification. fondue posted:So, does she actually have any powers other than being able to hibernate perfectly for a couple millennia? I'm kind of disappointed there's no Stardust-level lunacy. Sorry for the letdown, but as far as I've seen, Deer has no mystical powers other than being royal and pretty. And having a well-trained falcon buddy, who we'll be seeing a bit more of soon.

Haifisch posted:2017 RRONGK? When this storyline started, I sure wasn't expecting it to swerve into the Hulk wrestling an alligator. Newspaper Spider-Man is such a treasure. "Even though she's not a rat" is such a lovely thing to think about Angelique. It's jarring to compare how Bruno being trans gets treated with respect compared to how Angelique being a rat never stops being a source of jokes.

There are uncountable stories that have been purposefully erased or just neglected. Know many hispanic WW2 veterans and one I talked to at the VFW my grandfather frequented told me how in the Pacific theatre the white GIs would ask if he was Japanese and if he was Black also cause his smaller size and skin tone. He wasn't the only one and there was a lot of violence that went along with it as well. MariusLecter fucked around with this message at 14:47 on May 6, 2021 |

Breaking Cat News Phoebe and Her Unicorn  Wallace the Brave  Bibliotechno Music posted:I don't know if this is right-- I think Black children can't really escape knowing that the "state's rights (to own slaves)" line of thinking is complete bunk, and as a white person in a white school district with the only Black history teacher for miles around, I'm lucky that I learned about the horrors of slavery at all. Considering Billingsley's amazing art for key aspects of Blackness (like the church hats and Kwanzaa stories), I'd guess it's about 50/50 if he addresses it (because, for all his talents, the man is a lackluster storyteller and may have just thrown it out with no intention of following up) Vargo posted:There is zero chance this gets mentioned tomorrow.

Pastry of the Year posted:Arlo and Janis The summer between high school and college, I was working to wrap up my Eagle Scout service project. I'd purchased a then very cutting-edge digital camera with my graduation money and was snapping photos\videos of the guys in my troop working on the recycling bins we were building for a local non-profit. One guy criticized my choice of going digital - "They're temporary. I used a film camera to document my project, and I'll always have the physical photos I can show my family later." "Well, I'll always have these photos, too. I'll be able to make infinite copies of them. AND I've got video." I don't know if that guy still has his photos tucked away in an album somewhere, but I definitely lost all those digital photos (and all my highly touted backup copies,) probably within five years of taking them. The upshot here is that I 100% do not care that they're gone. What really mattered is that the old guys on the Eagle Council were very impressed by my Powerpoint presentation and a 640x480 video of my friend throwing up sparks with an angle grinder. A little early 00's tech gave a lot of weight to what was otherwise a very mediocre project.

I really can't stress enough, make a photo book every year. Go through your cloud storage, download anything that catches your eye, throw it on Snapfish or Walgreens or whatever and just pay the $50 and have them send you an album. The whole process takes less than an hour.

RoboRodent posted:loving vultures. Ugh, when my grandmother died, my mom was the one who had been visiting the most (despite living a 3 hour plane ride away while her brother lived in the same city as Granny). My mom also managed all of the hospice care, funeral arrangements, and was executor of her will. While everything was being sorted after her death, everyone in the family was just kind of in and out of Granny’s apartment as it was more or less the base of operations. At one point, my mom and I returned to the apartment from running an errand, and found that my uncles had not-so-sneakily gone through the apartment and put tape with their names on the backs/bottoms of all the art and furniture. Adult siblings get so weird about their parents’ mortality and get in some kind of weird competition over stuff. It’s gross and I hate it. My uncles are just assholes in general, though, so YMMV.
