Just had a moment with my daughter about this. She's asking questions. I mentioned that James Madison (the school a LOT of Northern Virginia suburb kids go to) was kind of weirdly white for being the school all these kids go to. My wife and I remember that some parents were asking if they taught Critical Race Theory when we went to the parent orientation when my son was touring. She and I are just rolling our eyes and dying inside at this. Our overall observation is the school is like 60-40 female to male (at least) and about 85-15 white to non-white which was weird to us coming from MSU (her) and UM-dearborn (me). I actually think she might like going there but...that's weird to see in this day and age.

The race thing is weird. On my cul-de-sac there are multiple Indian families. They don't talk to each other because they are different castes. My son and daughter hang out with kids across the paper-bag darkness spectrum and since all the parents were middle-class nerds that was groovy. If for some reason they started to hang out with some kid whose parents were drinking in mid-day from a bottle-in-a-paper-bag whilst sitting on their porch, that would have been notable and cause for discussion.

Deep battle is critical to winning wars. Fighting on the front lines only is for barbarians and others of the fighter class. You need wizards and other spell casters to win. (edit: that got to be a riff from my Dungeons and Dragons days)

Oh, that's interesting And a good development.

welp

Yes

Its easy enough to see the benefits of Affirmative Action in hiring when I encounter AA individuals who are solid, crab-bucket clawing strivers who would not have had that chance to demonstrate that without certain opportunities. The US military has produced a lot of talent that wouldn't come forward without its merit-(ish) system. Plenty of racism in the US Mil still but A Colin Powell a Lloyd Austin don't emerge from normal processes. My son was in a social circle that was blessed with an economic class of parent cadres of educated, merit-conscious strivers. He'll be fine.

Welp...they decided. I'm torn. My son definitely faced weird discrimination against him in his attempt to get into certain schools on this basis. But, he got into a decent tier B B1G school and if he works hard he can overcome that.

I have seen a lot of arrests. They had a long way to go. But, they have the right recipe going now.

A good place to invest IF they have the ability to keep the corrupt Russian element at bay.

Yeah, he makes the case well.

I read this story on another platform yesterday. I'm more than a little bit interested in touring Ukraine with the family when the invaders are thrown out. This will make it more accessible. Imagine how it will be when they rebuild all the places that were destroyed by Putin?

One of Putin's doubles

Oh hmmm Modern warfare in the nuclear power era.

The lighting at these aaa games is bad

Colt Keith is off to a fantastic start at AAA

The mud hens score 8!

Symbolic tanks arrive.

I did a couple courses on content analysis. One of my thesis was to compare the writtings and statements of the author of the Turner Diaries (can't remember the schmuck's name), with UBL, with Shoko Asahara (the Japanese cult leader who unleashed the sarin attack on the Tokyo Subway). I had to sift through a lot of mental pollution, particularly the first case where it was all in original english.

Trump, already penalized for defaming E. Jean Carrol has decided to file a lawsuit for defamation against her. How the hell does that work? Also, threatening Jack Smith's family is not cool.

Holocaust denial is the worst

More coming out today about the depths of the mutiny.

huh

Yeah, she lost her job on Rosanne for some wacky stuff. That's pretty obnoxious.

There is this clip going around where she denies the Holocaust. The Red Pills And Rabbit Holes on Twitter: "👀Roseanne Barr Speaks On The Holocaust, Says the Holocaust never happened, "but should have" because "Jews cause all the problems in the world” She’s Jewish btw https://t.co/xJyDqNRCOr" / Twitter Its got a lot of people talking about how its out of context. Welp, they had better show how she was animated and that was all AI audio. I still don't see how the hell anyone can hold these views. i mean people who aren't damaged or willfully ignorant.
