You know the more I get into mythology the more I realize how tongue and cheek astronomy is

https://www.tumblr.com/generallemarc/746965719332290560/damnit-tzeentch

I get it because it state the world will end when Apep/Apophis devour the sun. But really nasa?

Also who was the cheeky bastards that decided to named Jupiter moons after it namesake god affairs/victims

The who decided to named the probe that orbit Jupiter after Juno? Like I get why, but seriously

Also found out that our moon proper name is Luna. The sun is called Helios right? Riiiight?

Ahhh NASA, rocket scientists are still nerds first and foremost.

You've also triggered my geek out reflex with this so I'll try to maintain control.

NASA's official deal about it NASA to Launch Sounding Rockets into Moon's Shadow

These are the rockets, they used the same ones in October for the same reason.

They avoid mentioning the inherent pun involved in the name this time, but well, not a secret.

NASA does this kinda often, like you said.

NASA just cracked a great nerd joke 400 years in the making

Also found out that our moon proper name is Luna. The sun is called Helios right? Riiiightt

Helios is the Greek name for the sun, Sol is the Latin, Luna is the Latin for the sun Selēnē is Greek.

Planets are officially named after Roman deities, they sneak some greek in here and there for stuff which is only fair since Rome stole the Greek pantheon, most polytheistic faiths borrowed from the others but not THAT much.

BONUS FUN

JPL in Pasadena, they're the folks that make all the probes and such, when New Horizons did it's flyby of Pluto they well

Informal Names for Features on Pluto

Got Pluto's moon Charon too

Bless the nerds.

I hope this was contained enough, I could punch out a couple hundred pages nerding out all this stuff but I maintained most of my cool.

Zoomer Huey, I tend to see people saying why Gen z don’t have sex much.

Holy

Fucking

Shits

These journalists surprisedly have WORSE self awareness than there boomer relatives

Here a hint https://x.com/swannmarcus89/status/1762582001507323991?s=46

And gender dynamics are…nuked in the fields they are surveying. Women and girls are told that all men are predators and misandry is left unchecked

Also, why Hollywood act surprised about the sex abuse?

We all heard about the casting coach, and how suspiciously people from working class backgrounds like Micheal Jackson (yes his dad had his music connections. But essentially mj was a slave and was arguably was the first black child star unless I’m missing someone) and Walt Disney (though not as bad) are painted as monsters while the actual monsters are protected for decades

I mean look at Judy Garland, she was a sweet person and she did help the LBGT in Hollywood and supported the civil rights movement

But her “crazy” behavior makes more sense because she was sexually abused at a extremely young age

And she not the only one, Shirley Temple, the boy who played at the first LA Dennis the Manis

Oh and the Peter Pan actor (a lot of people leave out the part where ALL of Hollywood basically says he can choke and die because he was “too” Disney)

But sorry about the Gen stuff, but the false rape accusations, maybe if you guys didn’t view men (especially white ones) the same way Nazis viewed the Jews while saying all the working class men were Weinstein.

My Gen would have more sex

Entertainment industry has been like that since the beginning of forever, probably less so when women weren't allowed to participate but still a thing I'm sure.

As for Judy Garland it was nice to see people come out swinging in her defense when someone tried to start shit over well

She was not in control of her carer, saying no was not an option for her with this, but dumbasses that can only think in terms of today's standards never think about that.

Jay North (Dennis the Menace) did ok, so did Shirley Temple, plenty of others not so much, more recently we can look at Drew Barrymore and RDJ who both had fairly public meltdowns and problems.

Drew was ruined since her first film was ET and Spielberg takes care of the kids on set, going beyond the legal requirements.

Bobby Driscol was the Peter Pan VA top of his Wiki article.

Robert "Bobby" Cletus Driscoll (March 3, 1937 – c. March 30, 1968) was an American actor who performed on film and television from 1943 to 1960. He starred in some of the Walt Disney Studios' best-known live-action pictures of that period: Song of the South (1946), So Dear to My Heart (1949), and Treasure Island (1950), as well as RKO's The Window (1949). He served as the animation model and provided the voice for the title role in Peter Pan (1953). He received an Academy Juvenile Award for outstanding performances in So Dear to My Heart and The Window.

He just fell into the child actor pit, where he wasn't "cute" anymore couldn't get gigs and couldn't adjust to not being in the spotlight, the way he went and nobody knowing is awful to think about still.

Jackie Coogan, on the other hand was a different story.

His parents sucked and as a result there's a series of laws named after him California's Coogan Law all about protecting the earnings of child actors from their parents. % goes into a trust iirc.

He ended up OK in the end though

The false accusation thing, #me too hurt women because #believe women was taken advantage of to such a degree that even this coming out to light

has still probably not cleared up for the trooper, and men are opting to not mentor women because of not wanting to risk a false accusation, everyone screams about how rare they are, to which I say so what, why should they assume the risk even if it's minor

Former VP Mike Pence came out and said he won't be alone with a woman that's not his wife in order to ensure that there is no possibility of someone making a claim of impropriety.

And he got this response

Why is anyone going to put their neck on the line when something like what he said is going to get this kind of response.

Maybe instead of crying about how rare false accusations are they should focus on shaming the people making them and coming up with solutions to keep them from happening.

You know instead of blaming the victims of the false accusations.

All this and so much more going on that isn't in this ask goes to the I don't blame people for not having as much sex, it's actually kinda nice too, fewer std's this way.

I went on a couple tangents, hope that's ok

“Anyone else remember when we had that massive blackout over most of the northeast US and a bunch of urbanites were freaking out about weird lights in the night sky because they didn't know what stars looked like.”

No no no no

No no

No no no no no noo

NO NO NO, NU UH, NEIN NEIN NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIN

Urbanites must known what stars are from family road trips like I do. Or from movies, or understand that city pollution covers the stars

If this true, no wonder screenwriting is shit especially in fantasy.

Source on the LA one, r/AskHistorians

Did people actually call 911 or an observatory upon seeing the Milky Way due to the power outage that followed the Northridge Earthquake?

So foreign are the real night skies to Los Angeles that in 1994, after the Northridge earthquake jostled Angelenos awake at 4:31 a.m., the observatory received many calls asking about "the strange sky they had seen after the earthquake."

Yes they did, no 911 just local observatories. Griffith Park observatory I'd guess

The confluence of Jupiter and Venus also managed to get some calls.

_________________________

I'm willing to cut people a little slack on this one because it is abnormal, those are going to be two of the brightest objects in the night sky and if you have no clue what they are other than bright spots I can understand the concern. _____________

Oh let me explain the Templars and Assassins, in ac lore both groups were once the historical Hassassin order and Knight Templars, but they reform themselves into the shadows. But in this historical fiction they are order than their crusaders incarnations though only recently they learn the true history of their precursors

But there the batshit reason why ac can hop around history

https://youtu.be/mLSiKSrmLic?si=wR5TI_b0KTPAsQzY

Actually ac2 explained the whole Templars thing as the mc pointed out that he was taught the Templars were purged yet his brothers and father murderer and the pazzai conspirators were all Templars

Ac unity plays with that as the Templar historical purge and the French Revolution are connected in this game

https://youtu.be/sK0qr675wno?si=2KP7EyyaUHG1Ao4Q

They used the historical fact that Jacques de Maloy wanted to reform the order. Though in ac lore he wanted the Templars to return to the shadows

The assassins initated the infamous Templar purge manipulating the French king. Jacques allowed himself to be killed so his 9 most trusted agents could secretly rebuilt the Templar order in his image. Establishing the modern secret war the two orders are in

And for the Freemasons, it was established in ac2 they had pieces of Eden, and they shipped a apple of Eden to George Washington which each President had until “Jack” angered the Templars

Yes Dallas was a inside job and I give you 5 guesses which historical figure was a Templar in that mess

But ac writers stated the Freemasons were mainly a group of old guys, basically a third party. Both assassins and Templars joined the group too

Actually wasn’t a Benjamin Franklin a Freemason too? He had no idea of the secret conflict but was  acquaintance with people from both orders

I know it historical fiction, but it open my eyes to stuff I didn’t know

Like how Edison and Morgan purposefully fucked over Telsa

Or how Edison and ford knew each other…all my life I thought they were like century apart. Until in a old discord server people showed me a picture of them together

And I realize that the writers used the historical fact that Ford used to work under Edison and the two became close friends hence why ford a Templar

I’m surprised there isn’t a movie-oooh right Ford’s antisemitism

Was there a spike in midwestern kool aid? Did Kanye get some of that too?!

Just saw this because tumblr is a functional website

This is a bit longer than I have time for

Skipping round looks cool tho

Actually ac2 explained the whole Templars thing as the mc pointed out that he was taught the Templars were purged yet his brothers and father murderer and the pazzai conspirators were all Templars Ac unity plays with that as the Templar historical purge and the French Revolution are connected in this game

Considering it was a French kind that got them hunted down (he owed them money and saying they worshiped the devil was cheaper) that works.

The assassins initated the infamous Templar purge manipulating the French king. Jacques allowed himself to be killed so his 9 most trusted agents could secretly rebuilt the Templar order in his image. Establishing the modern secret war the two orders are in And for the Freemasons, it was established in ac2 they had pieces of Eden, and they shipped a apple of Eden to George Washington which each President had until “Jack” angered the Templars

Jack Ruby??????? (guy that shot oswald)

Both assassins and Templars joined the group too Actually wasn’t a Benjamin Franklin a Freemason too? He had no idea of the secret conflict but was acquaintance with people from both orders

Ahh Jackie Mason, makes sense with all the "to the moon" stuff, (jokes)

Or how Edison and ford knew each other…all my life I thought they were like century apart. Until in a old discord server people showed me a picture of them together And I realize that the writers used the historical fact that Ford used to work under Edison and the two became close friends hence why ford a Templar

You remember Cudjoe Lewis, last surviving victim (in the US) of the dahomey and the atlantic slave trade that could remember what home was like, ya he lived to see the start of nazi germany dying in 1935.

Wyatt Earp consulted on early western films and gave tips to a young John Wayne, dying in 1929. Wild west hero got to live to see airplanes become a thing.

History is both longer and shorter than it seems at times.

I’m surprised there isn’t a movie-oooh right Ford’s antisemitism

Who Henry Ford never, next you'll tell me Charles Lindbergh promoted and endorsed nazi propaganda (he did)

Was there a spike in midwestern kool aid? Did Kanye get some of that too?!

not that it's an excuse of any sort but he is bipolar which could be the reason he keeps doing that shit, he's one I'm just done with everything but memeing them

He and candace owens can start something up, they're perfect for each other.

And y’all wondering why people will say to this day that Killmonger is right

Seriously sorry Nunya

Is there ANY reason why so many progressives millennials and zoomers think committing GENOCIDE is good?

“They oppressed us so revenge!” Strange how no one with abusive female relatives can do the same to women (obviously it still bad)

No wonder pop culture stuff is shit, we got irl villains running the scene

Why am I more mentally mature than these people? I got autism and depression

Average Five Enjoyer must be new

Is there ANY reason why so many progressives millennials and zoomers think committing GENOCIDE is good?

They're only talking about the mass death of the bad™ people, so all they have to do is convince themselves that X group is irredeemably bad and then the only solution is the obvious one, massacre and genocide till all the bad people are gone

damn kulaks had the audacity to have 2 whole cows, off to the gulag with you

Why am I more mentally mature than these people? I got autism and depression

That may be working in your favor.

If sociologists learned anything from the covid pandemic I hope it's that there's a whole lot of people out there dedicated to preformative actions who's only goal is to make themselves look good by exploiting the misery of others.

The "Herman Cain awards" subreddit would be a good place to start the cataloguing of cases of people like that, the week or so after that one was on various news reports where you'd get the occasional comment from someone who would say something along the lines of 'I miss my empathy' will make for a good reinforcement of the main point because if you were going through it then it was still glaringly obvious that the people dancing on the graves of the deceased were still only looking for ways to make them look better than others.

The people making cracks about possible vaccine related deaths are just as bad too.

The people seeking some kind of absolution for being jackasses can still go sit in a corner and think about what they did for a while longer.

That's fine, but you shouldn't cheer death even if it means you were right. Doesn't do anyone any good other than a momentary flash of self satisfaction.

Extra shock Nikki is a Indian name

Ugh I hate identity politics, hmm sorry, another one points out a huge issue soon

We've been at a stage for a while now where people see fit to tell people of a particular culture that they're wrong about how their culture should be handled and such.

One of my fav examples.

Then we get.

Stupid question really, we all know why and it's not the bullshit "appreciation" some people tried to claim, not with everything else that's been called out over the cultural appropriation nonsense.

Double standard is pretty consistent, it's how trudeau managed to keep his job after all his blackface and weird dress up stuff.

Short answer yes, the Japanese love seeing it so unless you want to talk over the people you claim to be protecting shut up.

Also I traced the kimono back across time and continents and amazingly enough it's a item of clothing that's evolved and been adapted by different people and cultures all over the world and they all have their own take on it.

Nobody owns it

Sorry, for these constant ranting about African and black American culture

It just sucks look at history as a black American at times. There no ancient kingdom or empire, like Han, Gupta, and Roman to call back to. No Mythos with great epics like Hellenism or Hinduism where I can see myself in.

No great warriors that might have shared your face and people use as inspiration in media. No great battle like the battle of Thermopylae for people recreate again and again

No great leaders like Alexander the Great, Ashoka the Great, Julius and Augustus Caesar that change the course of history

As soon as January and February ends, seemly everyone forgot your people history.

Will we be remember when mankind enter interstellar?

Sorry maybe my borderline suicidal depression kicking in. Despite all the diversity push, has black Americans done anything beyond fighting slavery and racism? So we still have to hijack other people history and pop culture? Are any of our stories worth being told by media?

Or are we nothing but a sad pitiful group? Ugh sorry for making you my therapist

It just sucks look at history as a black American at times. There no ancient kingdom or empire, like Han, Gupta, and Roman to call back to. No Mythos with great epics like Hellenism or Hinduism where I can see myself in.

Check the Nubians and southern kingdom of Egypt there were black Pharaohs and dynasties those are recorded and attested by non Egyptian sources.

As for the Mythos Rome took a bunch of them from conquered lands, much like Greece did, like Babylon and Assyria did, Egypt too, oh and Hindus did the same thing. Easier to keep a population happy if you point out how our gods and your gods are the same guys just with different names.

No great leaders like Alexander the Great, Ashoka the Great, Julius and Augustus Caesar that change the course of history.

They existed, we just don't have any records of who they were, nothing concrete at least, gotta decide for yourself how faithful the oral tradition is.

Or you can treat it like folklore, doesn't mean there's not some truth to it, exaggerated is all.

As soon as January and February ends, seemly everyone forgot your people history. Will we be remember when mankind enter interstellar?

No need to keep them separate, just because a skin colour isn't the focus doesn't mean people forget, stuff like the 'black national anthem' is divisive, it's bringing back segregation saying we have a different national anthem than you. No if you're Americans you've got the one, go start your own country if you want a different one.

Haiti looks like it's about to reset try there.

If you want some heroes that look like you, meet the Harlem Hellfighters

To our eternal shame the US wasn't in the business of giving medals to black soldiers in WW1 not so much in 2 either, France however was.

Sergent Johnson here managed a Coup De Gras for valor in the battle that got him named "The Black Death" it's always the black something isn't it, we back home finally rectified the travesty that had him overlooked for the Medal of Honor in 2015, he more than earned it, wish he could know how many people look up to him now.

I do hope he saw this after he got home at least, I'd have that on my wall lmao.

Legacy section of his Wikipedia page has lots of things on it, but this I think would be the thing I would be proudest of,

In 1919, co-founder of the American Legion Theodore Roosevelt Jr., son of former United States President Theodore Roosevelt, referred to Johnson as one of the "five bravest Americans" to have served in World War I.

One of the good Roosevelt's, and I'm gonna guess this got to him too, since he was still around.

You need a warrior here's one, he led and sacrificed, he's a good one to look up to, refused to let his buddy be taken captive at great personal risk after they'd fought of 12 Germans.

Need another group of warriors, we've got the Tuskegee Airmen.

Made a lot of white (fighter) pilots mad because they were that good at their job, white bomber crews loved them they saw the red taifin on the P-51 their hope for surviving the mission went way up, because they were that good at their job.

Look them up too if you haven't before, check out the movie "Red Tails" Black writers adapted a story by one of them about a damn fine group of pilots, I enjoyed the movie watched it a bunch of time when I was living in Florida because it was on one of the movie channels the hotel I was living in carried.

You've got warriors who fought great battles that you can look up to though, even more so because they knew what life was like back home and how they were treated and would be on their return, and they fought anyhow.

Admirable men worthy of being looked up to by anyone really. At least for this service which is what counts for me right now.

Will we be remember when mankind enter interstellar?

How could humanity forget these men, and so many other incredible human beings that worked for the betterment of humankind in their own ways? __________

As a aside, Max Brooks got together with a artist named Caanan White who I don't know anything about but they did a fictional graphic novel about the Harlem Hellfighters and it looks pretty dang cool, so you may want to look into that at some point too.

Oh I mean when I say do leftists see history as a Disney cartoon because how they talk about people

“Indigenous people wouldn’t do that to their native lands!” Well that because most tribes learn from the mistakes of their ancestors, like modern American farming-

Holy shit Dave is right that they never left their metropolis area

But there this complaints how geeks spaces don’t want black people in it

Black activists: Why don’t white people want us in it?!

Me: Every since we somehow switch from racial equality to black supremacy

Hmm what we done in media? Oh yeah let start in black Panther where

1. They made a oversized shantytown with different African cultures, many of which hate each other guts

2. Expect to believe that everyone with sympathies with the main antagonist, now the movie did point out Killmonger was a hypocrite because he took a mask that didn’t belong to wakandans because he felt like it. And did the exact things he bitch about white colonizers to Wakanda

Though the irony is that Killmonger represents a lot of bitter black supremacists with a pan Africa fetish

Oh oh fantasy, my Indian friend pointed out that the issued with modern fantasy is that they are using a post mayflower American structure vs any form of feudalism

Because my chimera republic made realize it more easier to create black fantasy characters in a colonial and beyond world like ones based off George Carver or Bass Revees

Also like that black elf in rings of power and black Aragon, the problem to me that they look like larpers especially the black elf

Pssst modern Hollywood hairstylists, the fade was a post ww2 thing black men started after vets return from duty, so it automatically stick out for most black people

Also if you want to use Middle Ages hairstyles for black characters. Just go to the tribes that exist as many hairstyles we use today are thousands of years old and if you stretch it to the 13 century you have enough resources for reference

Actually someone pointed out that lot of fantasy places have LA demographic structure, this got me thinking and I’m paraphrasing

Who more bigoted?

My countryhick West Virginia friend who gave me a lot of insight on American history including my people and you who help me try to research west African cultures like the Yoruba?

Or the colored hair, glasses, usually upper middle class feminists that rarely interact with non whites unless they’re genetrifed and lived in gated communities?

Keep in mind a lot of them write or influence current fantasy stuff

Oh I mean when I say do leftists see history as a Disney cartoon because how they talk about people “Indigenous people wouldn’t do that to their native lands!” Well that because most tribes learn from the mistakes of their ancestors, like modern American farming- Holy shit Dave is right that they never left their metropolis area

Not all of them, but for the most part ya, it's respect for the land created after generations of learning that it's important to respect the land, with a additional healthy sized dose of religion and remembering to thank the land and everything else that provides for their needs.

"Noble Savage" is the term you're looking for there, "soft bigotry of lowered expectations" is another one you'll see a lot and not just for natives.

Low hanging fruit in Berkeley talking about why voter ID laws are bad and racist because black people may not know how to get one, or be able to afford one, or even get to the dmv.

Forever funny

But there this complaints how geeks spaces don’t want black people in it

Geek spaces are welcoming and inclusive, they just want you to geek out with them and not start trying to force changes, I honestly don't blame some people for gatekeeping their hobbies. People are coming in and demanding changes to fit their sensibilities and what not and when they're done the 'space' completely different.

That and all the other stuff you mentioned as well.

The question to ask is, why are you in this particular fan space if you are going to change 80% of it, can you maybe just make your own instead?

Oh oh fantasy, my Indian friend pointed out that the issued with modern fantasy is that they are using a post mayflower American structure vs any form of feudalism Because my chimera republic made realize it more easier to create black fantasy characters in a colonial and beyond world like ones based off George Carver or Bass Revees

Look up the show Firefly, if you don't already know about it. There's two really good SciFi western tv shows and neither of them are Westworld, the one besides Firefly is The Adventures of Briscoe County Jr. and it's there in my list because it stars Bruce Campbell.

Which actually you might give that one a look too,

Keep forgetting how much of a giant Julius Carry was, it's got a lot of steampunk elements and it's funny as heck.

Mentioning Bass Reeves made me think of that.

Also like that black elf in rings of power and black Aragon, the problem to me that they look like larpers especially the black elf ECT

Never saw the show, but everything I did see told me they had zero respect for the source material so I didn't expect respect for anything else to appear.

Hair thing we have current year references that since as you said, they haven't really changed them up much in the last few thousand years.

Who more bigoted? My countryhick West Virginia friend who gave me a lot of insight on American history including my people and you who help me try to research west African cultures like the Yoruba? Or the colored hair, glasses, usually upper middle class feminists that rarely interact with non whites unless they’re genetrifed and lived in gated communities?

I'm sure you already know the answer. As a generalization at least.

The joke about internet racists being a tolerant group of people, 'they don't care what race you are so long as you're racist' actually pans out to be fairly true a lot of the time.

Granted a lot of them aren't actually terribly racist, they just like to be able to rip on each other and like doing it Eric Cartman style, le edgy people.

The "Anti-racists" are the ones to watch out for, that's the people from berkeley in that video up there.

It's performative for them, look at how tolerant and accepting I am.

Like this.

I know it's what you want there my whatever you are, but there's a multitude of reasons why this

won't be happening, but I'm sure you've managed to take great strides in the effort to eradicate racism and didn't just totally become a joke for millions of people of all colours.

Except maybe this creature

I love how that's become a insult to people for some reason, she just called him a individual thinker and is mad because he doesn't support the hive mind.

Granted any positive accomplishment in the black community is greeted with several different cheers about how they all share in that accomplishment, but when bad shit happens all of a sudden we're not a monolith.

That's human psychology tho so not much more to expect from that honestly.

Multimillionaire tv host saying she's oppressed and that black people can't make it in the US will forever be funny to me, also sad because that sentiment is holding people back by saying things like that, since it's discouraging, why should I try if I've got no chance to make it anyhow.

May as well just get mine any way I can or maybe lay down and give up.

Hey I been thinking like how the Native Americans had slaves (okay not all), how black peoples are shocked to have slave owner ancestry, or how in Canada, they were surprised that a tribe who got their land back decided to make condos on it

Wait did they check the economic backgrounds? I sure hope the leftists don’t think that the natives never had any form of economy/ holy shit

Dear god ac3 and prey 2020 represented native Americans better leftists mindset?

But do leftists think that history is like a Disney cartoon?

Like we must abolish the electoral college because it was created during the time of slavery

Because leftists never show how out of they are

You probably seen it, but people say we should treat shit like DoorDash like vaccines….

Would like a slice of Antonine cake?(yes I know that propaganda) no wait the nobles would treat me better that these Americans aristocrats

Also this https://x.com/fuckkoroks/status/1773690311341986038?s=46

So as you know Shogun take place in the Tokugawa era. And funny enough, I suspect the reason why Yasuke will help unify Japan so the Japanese won’t be at the mercy of the growing European colonial empires in ac red

I’m just wondering how many college educated people have the mentality that they learned the bad stuff white people did in middle school?

But dear white people I don’t hate you…probably because of my dysfunctional white stepfamily and the trainwreck of my stepmom

But this tweet https://x.com/thestrxggler/status/1773497095774974416?s=46

Okay I grew up in the 00’s and 10’s and fortunate to have a black family that value academics

But when you say liking sci-fi, fantasy, speaking proper English, like animation, or preferring to have good grades is talking/acting “white”

You doomed yourselves trying to put me into tribalism bullshit.

Hey I been thinking like how the Native Americans had slaves (okay not all), how black peoples are shocked to have slave owner ancestry, or how in Canada, they were surprised that a tribe who got their land back decided to make condos on it

One of if not the first person to gain lifetime bondage of another human being in the land that would become the United States was a black man.

Not many cultures in the world that did not practice some form of slavery. You win a war you have your choice of, POW's which need to be fed and housed so now they need to earn their keep, crippling the opposing army like they did with the Bulgarian army when they blinded 99 out of every 100 men and the 1 only got to keep one eye, hostages which whatever counts as nobles or their family members, there's the mass slaughter method which was Vlad Tepes fav he was a hostage so he got 2 of those.

Because you ain't just going to let your defeated foes walk home, unless it's the US civil war, and they even got to keep their guns because 2A is for everyone USA USA USA.

But do leftists think that history is like a Disney cartoon?

Lord no, you should see what they say about Pocahontas, lol.

Like we must abolish the electoral college because it was created during the time of slavery

3/5 compromise, ya south wanted to inflate it's population with people it didn't consider human so, to put it crassly and bluntly, they fought for the right for their farm equipment to be counted as people, but just for the numbers to increase their representation.

Illegals being counted on the census accomplish the same end.

This'll go right up there next to Russia wasn't an empire because it shared land borders with the territories it conquered.

Maybe Jacobin would also like to discuss the Ainu and see how that works out in terms of colonization. Granted both groups have been there for so long there's not really much to say about colonization likely more just human migration to the same place.

So as you know Shogun take place in the Tokugawa era. And funny enough, I suspect the reason why Yasuke will help unify Japan so the Japanese won’t be at the mercy of the growing European colonial empires in ac red

Haven't seen the new one, love the one from the 80's one of the best ways to start to learn Japanese imho, since a fair chunk of the dialogue is in Japanese. 10 of 10 highly recommend watching the whole 8+ hours of it, fairly historically accurate even down to the pederasty being a thing.

I’m just wondering how many college educated people have the mentality that they learned the bad stuff white people did in middle school? But dear white people I don’t hate you…probably because of my dysfunctional white stepfamily and the trainwreck of my stepmom

Likely a fair number, as for the dear white people you have self awareness and can differentiate between a individual and a group

Oh that's gonna hurt some feelings, lol.

Be interesting to get the response to, stop acting white, to be a accusation of racism, especially when it's things like doing well in school and speaking in standard english.

Okay I grew up in the 00’s and 10’s and fortunate to have a black family that value academics But when you say liking sci-fi, fantasy, speaking proper English, like animation, or preferring to have good grades is talking/acting “white” You doomed yourselves trying to put me into tribalism bullshit.

See comment above this section for my response,

and good timing finished just as I need to leave for Good Friday service.

This might be a short one today

But…I think my community, black Americans, are trying to find a Jerusalem in Africa

This short because I’m tired

But since Wakanda became mainstream …I think Black Americans wanted a Jerusalem, a holy place where all “blacks” can call home much like what Jerusalem is to Jewish people

And I’m not being disrespectful to Jewish people. But during our time of slavery, we often used the Jewish plight as comfort for a better future. Hence why we call Harriet Tubman “Moses”

Growing up I always saw Wakanda as a African Atlantis

But thinking how people treats it….Black Americans want a Jerusalem to go home to…but that an illusion as there is no Jerusalem in Africa. And Wakanda became my people False Jerusalem

Overthinking, or am I on to something?

I don't think you're too far off when it comes to the diaspora.

There's some kind of longing there, monkey wrench shows up when you get the folks that immigrated here post slavery looking for that too, but I don't know how much of a issue that is overall since I couldn't guess at the status of individual and when their families came over.

But it feels like it could be a thing that could fit to a point.

Would take someone with more than just life training and a knack fro reading people to get a real answer I'm thinking though.

Oh I actually it confirm that the Yoruba were the primary victims of the Dahomey as 64% of African Americans slave ancestry is Yoruba https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2812948/

Which explains why I see Central African pictures and go “You look so familiar but I don’t know why”

Also about most slaves going to SA, well the thing is Afro Latino don’t go “ WAAAAAAAAAAH! SLAVERY RUINED MY LIFE! WAAAAAAAH!” Every 5 GODDAMN seconds like African Americans do

They also don’t have the racial politics as us…but that another story

And the Louisiana thing is interesting since it was a FRENCH colony, I mean even to this day Louisiana feel so different from the rest of us.

And I been check the wiki (of course I’m going to get a better source) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoruba_people

But wow look they had urbanized cities and fortress in precolonial times. Maybe we should-

Damnit they had slaves too, ugh maybe let not glorify it

I just wondering how a white chick in Hollywood that it would be good to glorify the Dahomey when people pointed out their true connection to Americans.

I’m do in my free time and these fuckers who make more than me can’t do the research

Oh right the anti white thing I might say in another anon…

Also about most slaves going to SA, well the thing is Afro Latino don’t go “ WAAAAAAAAAAH! SLAVERY RUINED MY LIFE! WAAAAAAAH!” Every 5 GODDAMN seconds like African Americans do

That and a lot of them were literally worked to death, you wanted to get bought by an American, if slavery was in your future at least, kept it going 20+ years past the US there too.

But wow look they had urbanized cities and fortress in precolonial times. Maybe we should- Damnit they had slaves too, ugh maybe let not glorify it

Everyone had slavery, if you had a war and took captives they became slaves because it's not like you could just keep them in a prison of some sort without having them earn their keep in some way and if you didn't want to just kill them or even worse let them go so they can come back and fight you again your options became limited.

You could also do this

15,000 men, which this was probably easier than enslaving them Czar of Bulgaria's problem now, new Czar that is.

(Random historical tangent over)

But ya everyone had slaves, in all honesty the practice was on the verge of dying in the western world when the civil war happened. War accelerated it but it was on its way out.

Not that it should have kept going till that happened.

I just wondering how a white chick in Hollywood that it would be good to glorify the Dahomey when people pointed out their true connection to Americans.

Girl Power, they can do anything a man can do and do it while bleeding even taking collecting slaves to sell to the Europeans.

I honestly don't think she thought that far ahead, Viola Davis on the other hand.........

Really most of the cast if they had looked into it should have walked imho, but dolla dolla bills y'all.

and I look forward to the 'anti white' one, I may sit on it till tomorrow if it comes tonight tho, depending on how long it is

Okay am I the only Gen z who got the messages of hunger games and Percy Jackson?

The pjo books pointed out how the Titan Kronos exploited the shitty system the main 12 Olympians created and the much needed reformation the Greco-Roman pantheon needed in their treatments of lesser gods and demigods

The hunger games pointed out how BOTH sides exploit people like Katniss and was as bloodthirsty the capitol leaders.

Y’all remember how district 13 hides bombs in packages which lead to the death of innocent CHILDREN including Katniss sister prim right

Oh and the revolutionaries were planning on doing another hunger games with capitol kids as revenge.

Almost like revolutionaries are as shitty as the oppressors?

*cough* Killmonger *cough*

I mean PJO and Hunger Games gave as much nuance as they could while being published under Disney Hyperion and Scholastic .

But y’all didn’t get the memos

Oh right right my family issues so that why I got it.

Also another thing, the majority of enemies Percy Jackson and other demigods are monsters and gods going like “Your godly parent did something terrible to me so I’m going to take it out on you!”

Just like how for some goddamn reason, a poor white trailer boy is responsible for the evil shit the pilgrims did

But the Benin and Muslim people are A okay despite being the direct descendants of the Dahomey and

*check wiki*

Hmm, the Kashmir genocide, 9/11, the on going rampant killing of Nigerian Christian children by Muslim extremists

Obviously not all of them, but a lot of Gen z doing understand they have the mentality of VILLAINS rather than good people

Oh and my generation saying Osama Bin Laden was right. As a military brat and if I was heard someone say that in public

I will make the hunchback of Norte dome look like Prince Charming after the face rearranging I would do to those wokies

I never read any of those and only saw the first movies of the series's so I can't comment much on that.

With the not all of them, yes you're 100% right it's a oddity we get people online making 30 tweet threads about how black Americans are not a monolith but individuals each one being the sum of their own lived experiences which are different from each others.

And then Simone Biles smashes through the record books again (girl is unreal, just wow) and all of a sudden it's melanin power and all that jazz firing right back up. Or god forbid Tim Scott says something

the root: we don't do the HN shame

Also the root: but......

Not so bad as Atlanta Black Star can be but still. ______________

the people cheering on the various Islamic groups confuse the shit out of me, if they think white Europeans were harsh with them they should look up slavery in the middle east.

there were some bright spots yes, but mostly it was slave labor till you could labor no more and then you get left to die

Last place to make slavery illegal was Mauritania in 1982, it was lip service though since having slaves wasn't actually criminalized till 2007.

Still "bonded" servants there too, fancy name for slave/indentured servant for those that may not know that one.

Ah thank you, sorry I just saw the statement going around on Twitter and wanted to know if you could back that statement up

Whaaat? Sesame Street was meant to show that everyone can be equal hence why multiple celebrities from different walks of life like Ice Cube to Lucy Liu made appearances on the show and Liu herself said thank you to Sesame Street as it help her learn English?

It not like it supposed to be in New York

A very diverse place

Seriously where the Flying FUCK is Sesame Street in NYC? Must I take a magical portal to go there?

But yeah, Sesame is supposed to be like that. Then race obsessed late Gen x and millennials came along and murder fuck anything

Seriously I grew up in the 00’s, you know when a fuckton of diversity was in kids media?

Now the majority of diversity comes from people who never left their metropolitan areas.

Words can’t not describe the downgrades black cartoon characters got.

Whaaat? Sesame Street was meant to show that everyone can be equal

Here's 2 of the people that had some of the biggest impact on how I am today.

Don't think I saw Carol Spiney's face till sometime in the last 10 years or less, he was just Big Bird.

Did someone say Diversity

Down below we have the 80-81 cast, there's Mr Hooper in front of Big Bird, I don't think there's a show on today that could touch this. Could have used someone from the MENA region and India and Asia but in the mid 70's and even today this is huge.

Look it's Gordon and Susan, and their 'adopted' son Miles.

The introduction of Miles allowed the show to tackle the topic of adoption. Roscoe Orman originally suggested that Gordon and Susan have a child when he first joined the show in 1974. At the time, the producers felt that it was too complicated to cast a baby to play the part.

Ten years later, when Orman's son Miles was a year old, he revisited the idea. Orman remembers, "Caroll Spinney offhandedly said one day, 'That son of yours is so cute -- he's such a great kid -- we should bring him on the show and let him be your son.' I said that I had suggested something like that years ago but it was shot down. And he said, 'Well, you know, you could even adopt him.' That really started my wheels turning and I mentioned it to [Executive Producer] Dulcy Singer." The producers were intrigued by the adoption angle, and cast Miles Orman in the role. "The idea is that he'll grow up on the show -- for as long as he wants to," Roscoe Orman said.

They were there day 1 and through my whole childhood and beyond. Occasionally shifting performers.

Anything you could want to teach a person about being a good, kind, and accepting person you could teach them by putting on a Sesame Street + Mr Rogers Neighborhood marathon.

I'm glad Mr Rogers is free to watch on PBS kids, sometimes I need to just have that perfectly measured voice there cutting through the din of the day telling me the day was better because he got to spend it with me.

Grateful he's still around even if he isn't.

But that's not Sesame Street.

Seriously where the Flying FUCK is Sesame Street in NYC? Must I take a magical portal to go there?

It's there, it's in your neighborhood too. You just have to find some people willing to help make it appear is all.

We're surrounded by legions of good, kind, and giving people. We just need to do some of the leg work it takes to bring them together is all.

Oh I’m so pissed off at Africa that I want to say shit so vile that all kkk members blushed to my words

I’m confused why you care about me so much. I only see this compassion towards fictional black male characters. Am I real to you or a fiction? My depression can’t tell anymore

You're real, and you're a fellow human being worthy of respect and all that other good stuff.

You may occasionally see me on here when folks say to turn anon off say I can't do that because someone may need my inbox as a place to vent anonymously or to just come and see if they can get a view of the world that isn't terrible.

I'm going to provide that, I'm not good at a lot of things but I can listen and maybe try and pass on a little of what I know and have learned from experience.

Person I'm closest to in the world now started out anoning me, not saying that's the goal.

@the-scungles-of-crungles didn't even have a account when she started sending me asks, telling me about her old cat Sully who managed to outlive all expectations.

@libertarianblue who I miss like hell still, be 2 years in April, started out sending me asks, helped him pick out a car and looked over the house he eventually bought before he even had an account, lmao. He hated his Subaru and wanted a Charger which I thought was a bad choice for where he lived too much power for snow.

He was a good friend.

Got a few other people that have been popping in over the years here and there, they need someone to vent to or prayers, pick my brain for information or suggestions about what to do next or whatever.

I will be here for that because everyone has value and they need to know that, so I'll do my best to show them.

That includes you, you're important and I care about your well being.

Hi, trying to make these one short…but in problem lying 🤡

But this thread

https://x.com/sophianarwitz/status/1772283920249167939?s=46

Also this whole “black people be can’t be in fantasy because of racism!” Is more because a lot of black kids were bullied the living fuck of for liking stuff kind fantasy because it was “white people shit” so they lost passion thus they never desire to go into that stuff to bring more rep

Of course a lot of white kids were bullied too

But the thing is you guys can call out your bullies without being called a coon or race traitor

Actually a lot of women here who were in geek culture often pointed out modern feminists were their childhood bullies

And tbh if this panel accurate…

https://youtu.be/JHgpHfrULHc?si=oJQcSWyPac1bCFZG

And that the thing about black stuff like in gaming or in current fantasy

It made be people who have surface levels of understanding of eras

“The Middle Ages were actually diverse!” The Europeans did established trade routes with the rest of world. Buuuut it was also common to stop or ended trades if Islam wanted to try another jihad again and the internal conflict

But about ac stuff and why I’m defending Yasuke as a second playable character

So when ac Japan was announced I decided to look into what time span they will use. So in ac Japan lore was explored here and there in books and other app. But they keep it light

Now a Chinese assassin Shao Jun acolyte Kotetsu went back home to establish his own assassins branch in Japan.

So the Japanese assassins were established in mid 16 century 1549-50 as that when Templars came to Japan

Now this story was told in a manga when it very like the ac red story being develop so they made sure not step on each other shoes

Then a iirc 2021-22 ac book centered around two Japanese assassins siblings during the Meiji period. It was noted the Templar didn’t gain a presence in Japan again until the American navy thus confirm the Tokugawa era was an assassin control one.

So when the leaks drop that Yasuke will be a second playable character. I figured out through research that the game will focus on the final sengoku civil war.

Now when ac3 did the American civil war in the pov of a Native American. It took a few hours in game and hell years in the story to explain why

Now I hope Yasuke can be handle in similar ways to why he want to help unify Japan in these story

But beyond that, feel like a lot of modern creators REFUSE to acknowledge the modern black American only exists in history during colonial and forward times. Hence my chimera republic idea

There a plenty of African kingdoms to use, but are you guys mentally stuck at 15 or something?

Representation matters. Exclusivity is not the same as racism.

She's correct, where it crosses the line into racism is the opening tweet where she's making a big deal out of it. Make your game and then if people bitch about it not containing white men you can point the finger at them.

Same outcome except you don't look like self hating racist, still are one but at least you can play dumb.

Also this whole “black people be can’t be in fantasy because of racism!”.........ect

Ya, that or they were told so many time that it's not something they do that it sapped their will to do it, that crosses over into a lot of things. When I see someone saying that women have to work 10 times as hard as men to get into STEM fields I ask them who told you that, and make sure they give a name instead of "society" because 98% of the time it was another woman that said it, same with the black community except it's white people instead of men.

Oh just a few seconds in and it looks fun, cackling woman is likely to be the kind of person who will try and claim that the oppression olympics isn't real moments after making a statement like her first one.

And that the thing about black stuff like in gaming or in current fantasy It made be people who have surface levels of understanding of eras “The Middle Ages were actually diverse!” The Europeans did established trade routes with the rest of world. Buuuut it was also common to stop or ended trades if Islam wanted to try another jihad again and the internal conflict

Alexander the Great's empire extended into India, not sure how far down into Africa but at least as far as northern Kush

But about ac stuff and why I’m defending Yasuke as a second playable character So when ac Japan was announced I decided to look into what time span they will use. So in ac Japan lore was explored here and there in books and other app. But they keep it light .........

You have absolutely done your homework on all of this, good to have a focus, nice.

Now when ac3 did the American civil war in the pov of a Native American. It took a few hours in game and hell years in the story to explain why Now I hope Yasuke can be handle in similar ways to why he want to help unify Japan in these story

I think historically at this point he's well enough known, legend or reality is going to be the issue, have fun with the story for sure, hopefully people don't take artistic license for fact (they will) and just enjoy the story, maybe take some time and put in some effort to do the reading like you've done.

But beyond that, feel like a lot of modern creators REFUSE to acknowledge the modern black American only exists in history during colonial and forward times. Hence my chimera republic idea There a plenty of African kingdoms to use, but are you guys mentally stuck at 15 or something?

Money. Also could you imagine the outcry if some company got Bantu knots confused with Dreadlocks.

You may have missed all the dreadlock discourse, that was just pathetic and whiny and good lord are there not better things to throw a hissy fit about.

Not really much in the way of records of SubSaharan Africa before the 7th century when some folks came a conquering, they wasn't white or Christian either, and setting up kingdoms and what not. At least for kingdoms that weren't bordering seas or oceans, those got to be older.

are you guys mentally stuck at 15 or something?

Yes, many of them are.

Sorry for blaming Gen x as a whole, yes boomers caused a fuckton of problems, the problem is they have about a decade or two left of life

These progressives on the other hand…

Also zoomer men going right, hmm, could it be that since the 2020’s feminists publicly stated they see males as fictional villains and treat boys as such?

Or the fact poor white males are livid to hear how privileged they are from upper middle class cunts with multiple degrees and lives in gated communities?

I would rather eat cake from Marie Attonitee than hear feminists saying now hard their lives is

Also a lot of progress think because they say “Black Lives Matter!” presume I can’t see passed they’d bigotry

When I reality they are terrified of the black man. Ugh do get me started on the demasculinity

I probably going to make a part 2, but holy shit were feminists always this out of touch?

no worries on that, we're notoriously chill Gen-X. Had the progs even in gen-x they're always there, moral busybodies and holier than thous aren't generation specific, just got the internet now.

As for the rest of that, ya you're pretty spot on ,

Also a lot of progress think because they say “Black Lives Matter!” presume I can’t see passed they’d bigotry

don't forget lowered standards being offered, which honestly help nobody. White saviour complex is wild leads to a white dude yelling black lives matter while punching a black dude that's going to a free speech event.

That may have been a antifa douche, but either way they're the abusive person that knocks your teeth out and says they're doing it for your own good.

When I reality they are terrified of the black man. Ugh do get me started on the demasculinity

I'm assuming you meant "don't" but check these guys out. Art of Manliness, website is great.

It's just really nice well written things about self improvement or life in general geared towards guys and what guys like, there's complaints from the regular crowd about the place and when you read them it's pretty obvious they have either never been on the site or hate men regardless so they're not worth your time.
