The idea that non-white people are not simply culturally different, but a species unto themselves has been a powerful narrative which underlies racial and racist thinking.

It is also one hundred percent part of the American mythos about race.

Christopher Nolan controversy as director urged to shut down filming of Odyssey As Christopher Nolan is facing calls to stop the filming of his forthcoming action-fantasy The Odyssey due to concerns over the filming location, one historian has broken down the controversy.

I'm quoted extensively in this article about the occupation of Western Sahara where Christopher Nolan has been filming The Odyssey.

It's simply hypocritical, in my opinion, to spend like 20 minutes of show notes to talk about how much you hate Lovecraft, yet you don't turn the same critical lens on his contemporaries and your current authors.

You happily publish and laud Thomas Ligotti, but his single biggest influence is obviously Lovecraftβ€”does this stain his work?

Like you can whip Lovecraft all you want, and be right to do so, but you've published stories with overtly racist themes by contemporary authors within like the last year and you don't have the same lamentations over that.

Not to start the discourse but do we need to have a struggle session every time we talk about Lovecraft while giving his friends a pass?
Two weeks prior you published Robert Bloch, who definitely knew about HP's racism and was friends with the manβ€”yet there wasn't a struggle session over that, no?

"Its bad to platform Nazis," I say, while also posting screenshots of their accounts with their handles so people can find them and reposting the video I'm calling out for platforming Nazis.

The Hot Coffee Mississippi Waffle House would be home to the Secret Boss Fight Waffle House Line Cook. After defeating all the champions in Atlanta under a specific amount of time, you would be given a ticket to a special Greyhound bus.

AC is SO MUCH EASIER to decarbonize than heating...we're already like halfway to carbon free AC in the US, while heat is like 10% of the way there.

Two days ago the incorporated Twitter AI said that the world needed a new Hitler and they’re still writing this article

Yeah but if you ran a Democrat on this they'd never ever ever ever ever ever win.

it’s absurd that NYT forced him to delete these skeets, which … convey the factual information that Zohran Mamdani is, in fact, a man of South Asian descent who was born and raised in Africa, and that the pseudonymous source of the hacked material is a white supremacist eugenicist.

The thing is cotton gloves can absorb and trap the skin oils redepositing them later or in greater quantities, and other kinds of gloves can contaminate the pieces in other ways.

So thoroughly washing your hands prior to handling is the best method.

Idk man I’m just saying if my rep was a Democrat, a party that’s allegedly the β€œgood guys” according to some of you folks, I’d be asking them why they didn’t sign a letter against them to stop starvation and genocide? Seems like a low bar!

We've recovered from the Training Program & are ready to share Dr. Paige Ford's talk from the Training Program in Archeology that she, the ARAS, and the AAS hosted at and with Plum Bayou Mounds Arch State Park this summer. Check out what we learned on our YouTube Channel: youtu.be/23olL2Q_PPI

My favorite part of about the current arc of Swan Boy is how much Reese clearly loves giallo because no one who hasn't seen at least two dozen giallo films can come up with this many plausible parodies
