The crux of TLG is that both Ilya and Shane are desperately alone in crowded rooms. Shane is alone among men who should see him as a brother but he inherently knows will turn on him if he’s not perfect. Ilya is surrounded by people who would support him but he can’t say anything.
This article really pisses me off because, if you read it, you can tell right off the bat that the only reason the cops were ever called on this woman in the first place is some male community security guard told her that she broke an HOA rule and she had the audacity to be a knowledgeable woman who told him he was mistaken as to the scope of his authority, and then escalated by conceding it was not an HOA bylaw and called the cops on her.
I think that's what missing from the posts that I see discussing this. Sure, the criminalization of childhood independence is bleak, but what is replete throughout every article I have read about Ms. Parkinson is that she is obviously a well-educated woman who not only specializes in the law, but also childhood development, and she is continually penalized by male authority for not ceding to their unearned and mistaken sense that they know better than her.
I really hope she succeeds in her appeal and sues the state for malicious prosecution, or whatever similar cause she can.
If the band members need to wear hearing protection. And the crew need to wear hearing protection. And the people in the crowd need to wear hearing protection. And the venue staff need to wear hearing protection. You see where I'm fucking going with this, yes?
Btw "systemic racism" doesn't mean "lots of racists in the system". It means that even if there were *zero* "racists" present, the system would still disproportionately harm people of certain races. It's baffling that lots of educated folks don't understand this concept.
This was a rare insightful Reddit post that explains what would have realistically happened with Langdon and his diversion. I like how they’re handling it in the show, but the Physician Health Program is much deeper than it’s portrayed.
Cannot stress how important it is to ignore these polls and work like El-Sayed is down by 10. The GOP is about to come at AES with Trump's entire war chest + every ounce of racism they can muster, and it does not appear the DNC will be doing anything to stand in their way
Oh crap
Wait
"So you hate pancakes?"/ "No, did you read the words I actually wrote? Why are you guessing totally separate and distinct sentences rather than just reading what I wrote?"
Is it possible the answer is "Because I was systematically taught to do that?"
It’s comically obvious from Jefferson’s political writings and life that he damn well knew slavery was wrong. He was a moral coward who couldn’t take the extra step of betraying his material self interest for the fulfillment of his ideological vision. Hardly an unusual archetype.
Let's play a game. What if I stood on the street outside his home, documented his comings and goings, and sold those records for money... how long until I’m arrested? And how are my actions materially different than the intended function of his product?
Actually, I think they did. What they didn't anticipate was that Congress would choose not to jealously guard its powers and would subsume itself into being a sideline player to presidential authority.
