“Reading Rainbow” sounds like something the right would have an aneurysm over now lol
Damn, you are dead on. If this show came out today there would be hell. “Reading?” “Rainbows!” And it’s a dei hire!?!?!
The three spikes of the woke trident
My FIL just said about the team name change from the “Redskins” to the “Chiefs”: “the team name got dei’d”. This is shortly after making a big deal that our straws from the restaurant we were at were still plastic.
For fuck’s sake, I hadn’t heard about this yet. These educational bookshops in occupied East Jerusalem are super famous and one of the only places you can get good quality international books and academic journals in Palestine. Their customers are mostly foreign scholars and students. This is yet another proof point that Israel is proudly genocidal.
When Odeh requested to know the titles of the seized books and the names of their authors, Malka responded: “I cannot answer. We will confront [the Munas] with the books when I receive authorization … It will take time to go through them, which is why we are here requesting a several-day extension of the [Munas’] detention … Most of the books are in Arabic, some are in English, and some in German. I can’t go through them one by one.”
They don’t even know what the books are about yet but they’re more than happy to bust down a business’ doors and arrest the owners because some books have a palestinian flag. I swear to god I hope these people experience only misery for the rest of their, hopefully short, lives.
Tell it, Geordi.
Levar Burton: The Hero we need!
is that person AI gennerated? if yes why?
God this comment makes me feel old…
My first thought was that it’s an AI generated photo of LeVar Burton. The comment didn’t seem like “who is that”, more of a “why is this AI?”
The people who banned Mein Kampf were
Edit: I’ve since reevaluated what good guys means and now disagree with my own statement
Nah, actual good guys don’t ban it, they annotate it before publishing it so we can see how dumb its original author was.
There is absolutely no reason to ban Mein Kampf. If anything is truly shows how unhinged he was and perhaps gives the reader an insight into what to look for before voting for another fascist dictator… Well, maybe next time.
Edit: just realised the meme called all book banners not good guys instead of bad guys. And I agree the Bavarian government are definitely not good guys. Still left the original reply for ceomleteness’ sake even though it’s based on a wrong premise.
I agree that it should not be banned. However this one mistake isn’t enough to label the people who banned it as bad guys. Overall the people who banned it, namely the Bavarian government, did an OK job at managing their state. They are conservative to be sure and passed a bunch of other bad legislation but not enough to make them bad guys. I associate bad guys with movie villains and while there are governments around the world that are on that level the Bavarian government isn’t amongst them.
