Saying Juneteenth is divisive is basically the same as saying V-E day is divisive (which makes sense, since I bet a lot of people against recognizing Juneteenth have at best mixed feelings on V-E day).

Yeah this would be pretty funny delivered deadpan. "How did we survive as a species?" would be the kind of line Stewart Lee might pull off as a deadpan deconstruction of Gammon-think on Covid, which makes me suspect Hurst is being just a little bit ironic there. But the rest of his feed? Pure brain-worms. Sucks that that genially sometimes-sorta-funnyish guy who was all over daytime TV 20 years ago went off the rails like that.

Is this the thread where an idiot in a screengrab claimed that the death penalty is volountary? Because, ironically Rouseau in his Social Contract wrestled with the completely opposite dilemma, i.e. if human beings are forbidden to kill or to take their own lives how can they institute a death penalty. I think his argument is that society implements the death penalty purely as a defensive measure and if any of the citizens fall on the wrong side of the measure they have imposed it's a consequence of their own wrong action and not a consenting to kill or be killed. Or something like that! It's been a while since I read any Rousseau.

The Black Death was endemic in europe for almost 400 years. And I don't mean just part of the background, part of everyday mortality along with all the other causes of death. Literally 'Killed a million' people in country x, killed half the population of city y, type outbreaks as well. Frequently. From a historian of the Early Modern. quote:I have never read a full set of Renaissance letters which didn’t mention plague outbreaks and plague deaths, and Renaissance letters from mothers to their traveling sons regularly include, along with advice on etiquette and eating enough fennel, a list of which towns to avoid this season because there’s plague there. Carlo Cipolla (in the fascinating yet tediously titled Before the Industrial Revolution) collected great data for the two centuries after 1348, in which Venice had major plague bursts 7% of years, Florence 14% of years, Paris 9% of years, Barcelona 13% of years, and England (usually London) 22% in the earlier period spiking to 50% in the later 1500s, when England saw plague in 26 out of 50 years between 1543 and 1593. Excluding tiny villages with little traffic, losing a friend or sibling to plague was a universal experience from 1348 clear to the 1720s, when plague finally diminished in Europe.

There’s a hypothesis that the plague caused natural selection for extremely aggressive immune response and that that’s why people of European descent have higher rates of autoimmune diseases.

There's a new He-Man series coming out on Netflix and nerds are predictably buttmad because apparently they made Teela too 'butch' and there's a whole lot of people going on about how it's actually sexist to imply a woman can't be a hyperfeminine badass. These are the same crowd that predictably had very strong opinions about the She-Ra cartoon that came out a few years back. https://youtu.be/8byZ4vbjo_w I liked the He-Man reboot that had come out in the early 2000s and from the previews the upcoming one looks interesting enough to me.

I wonder why all these media companies whose literal job is to identify and chase emerging social trends keep moving in the direction of inclusiveness and norm-breaking and subversion of stereotypes, and not a single one sees a profitable avenue in making traditionalist throwback media, oh well it must all just be pink-haired screeching psychos in the boardroom, go woke go broke

The weird thing is that if you look at the picture of Teela, she isn't this hypermasculine gorilla they try to make her out to be. She's got muscular arms and an undercut and boobs that aren't spherical beach balls but apparently that is just too much for them. In contrast to HeMan she's still very feminine regardless. There's a black woman standing next to her in one of the images and they were flipping out that it was going to be her girlfriend /wife/whatever because she obviously wasn't one of the masters of the universe. It's such a hilarious over reaction and the second this YouTube He Man nerd started going off on She Ra's recent cartoon I knew where it was headed.

The best/worst part of the She-Ra "controversy" was that none of the complainers admitted to being fans of the original show, because confessing that they liked a cartoon for girls would've destroyed their masculine image or whatever. So they weren't even playing the "true fans" card like they usually do - their culture war grifter bullshit was even more obvious than it usually is.

Well hell, between that and the awesome buff female character designs, I'm suddenly interested.

I'm assuming she's "too masculine" because she (a warrior) has visible arm muscles, short hair, and a chest plate that doesn't have separate boob chambers. Oh also she appears to be wearing pants now instead of a just a leotard that exposed her entire legs. Pants are for men! You don't see the men in this series sporting clothes that expose their legs like that!
