20 years ago I read an article in the Atlantic or New Yorker or salon or something good and it was a Japanese American author talking about going home over Thanksgiving and how her family and relatives were super gung-ho about the, then new, anti-arab, thinly veiled “anti-terrorist” initiatives that Shrub’s administration was ratcheting up after successfully getting the left to support The Patriot Act, which enshrined surveillance at a level that had never been tried before.

Anyway, the author then revealed that her grandmother had been sent to Internment camps in the 1940s in the US and her dad had been born there.

TLDR;racism overrides all rationality. If Japanese Americans who were interned as villains during WWII 100% due to pure racism can’t understand that scapegoating a minority group only leads to bad things, then the broader public has no hope.

You can’t triple stamp a double stamp.

Yeah, but what about the promotional and kick back opportunities lost? You have to think about profits…

Artists, unfortunately, are all too familiar with this arrangement dating back millenia. “Commissioned” works that pay vs. passion projects that may not be economically in demand is the crux of the artist’s dilemma. Artists of any media make this decision regularly, seems like a big “duh”?

The government has been conditioned to give away control so much due to decades of corporate lobbying, spectacular they make a jump probably for social reasons without understanding the technological and economic underlying drivers. I’m sure a $500/HR big 4 consultant will provide them a slide on it in 20 years.

This next two years of “FO” realizations for the FA crowd will bring me no pleasure. Unfortunately we’re past the point of return now in participative democracy due to a menially literate population that has had the capacity for rational and forethought drowned out for 3+ generations.

Time, yet again history, to teach people lessons the same, hard way. 😔

Shirley it’s redundant when they have the blind US Justice system™ to hold all accountable equally

Watch cruise in Magnolia too. I get what you’re saying and you’re generally right and I’m not much of a fan of his “cruise” films but the dude can act.

You’re always gonna have problems lifting a body in one piece. Apparently the best thing to do is cut up a corpse into six pieces and pile it all together.

And when you got your six pieces, you gotta get rid of them, because it’s no good leaving it in the deep freeze for your mum to discover, now is it? Then I hear the best thing to do is feed them to pigs. You got to starve the pigs for a few days, then the sight of a chopped-up body will look like curry to a pisshead. You gotta shave the heads of your victims, and pull the teeth out for the sake of the piggies’ digestion. You could do this afterwards, of course, but you don’t want to go sievin’ through pig shit, now do you? They will go through bone like butter. You need at least sixteen pigs to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm. They will go through a body that weighs 200 pounds in about eight minutes. That means that a single pig can consume two pounds of uncooked flesh every minute. Hence the expression, “as greedy as a pig”.

Privatize education. Get stock in some for-profits your shit friends own like devos, declare everyone else terrorist or on your watch listz watch “woke” chaos, award your new for profits gov contracts. And that’s just education.

Planned parenthood? Immigrant support orgs? The “wrong” religious orgs(while you conveniently get kick backs from those allowed to be in favor)…

It’s not that hard to solve the equation here, it’s simple corruption, destruction of opposition targets, retribution, and delivering your masses the lion matinee they voted for. Like every authoritarian ever.

Screw indeed

Bought airport food? Didn’t have free corporate airline lounge meal as high-margin customer? Peasant.

Not knowing poster, is anyone sure this isn’t ironic usage of “peasant” before the pitchforks are distributed?

“breaking news” 😞

Narrator: No one ever asked for it or is using it already.

Playing it as a bounce pass, with the ball moving up when received allows some of the inertial energy that is bouncing up rather than just laterally to be used by the receiving player to take it up for the layup or dunk rather than have to corral that portion of the lateral energy in and still finish. Basically it’s the best way to move the ball as quickly to get it to that spot before defender notices and potentially intercepts it. Being a bounce pass also lowers the chance of control being lost as the lateral force is too great to handle quickly while also recipient is at speed.

Complex reasons why it was the perfect pass; doncic didn’t think about it, at this level it’s just intuitive that a chest pass is less ideal for a recipient on this cut. You see le ron make chest passes like this while misdirecting his eyes but those are often when the recipient is already on the block or more open.

How players pass in sports is often one of the best indicators of their skill: it can show not only awareness of the passer but when it’s perfect for the recipient it shows complete empathy and understanding of the recipient’s situation and takes it into account. E.g. in soccer, when an offensive player checks back/shows for the ball they often have their back to a defender coming at them; the passer however can often see the coming defender, and if there is a high level of trust and competency between passer and recipient, the passer will tell the recipient which way to turn their body when they receive the pass to avoid the defender’s tackle–simply by which foot/side of the body of the recipient the passer puts the ball on. There is not time for much verbal exchange and is all on trustz timing and feel, the advantage gained can be enormous for the attacking team and can lead to easily spinning around a defender for the pass recipient when executed–or a trip to the hospital if you’re an amateur. Passing matters.

Anything from Machinariun. One of my favorite games ever; art style, problem solving, homage to video games, but the music ties it all together in such a beautiful way. One of the outside problems involves helping a group of musicians get their stolen instruments back who then play a different rhythm and melody for you when you pass through.

Unless you have a legal team, you’re powerless and it’s CYA. I wonder who that structure benefits, possibly those with money and access to legal teams?
