It's wild. Both times I rode it I greyed-out at the bottom of the first hill. Also as I was walking towards the exit the train zoomed by overhead and someone's car keys came out and slammed into the grass not 20 feet from the pedestrian path. We were sufficiently intimidated.

Well that perspective might make sense. There was a story here a week or two ago that something like 90% or more of cases for expulsion were overruled by the school board. If principals, who are on the ground dealing with these problems are having their judgements overruled in nearly all cases, maybe it's best if they have a bit more leverage in such matters.

So then black Africans aren't Black. They're just black. Yes?

There's no logical basis for black to be a proper noun but white not be one. The logic from the AP is ridiculous:

>For many people, Black reflects a shared sense of identity and community

A black guy from Richmond and a black guy from Equatorial Guinea don't share a sense of identity and community any more than a white guy from Richmond and a white guy from Latvia.

The terms describe race, not culture. There isn't any good reason for them to have different grammar.

It's an adjective that describes a person's race. Same as black.

"That white guy" or "That black guy" - They're used in exactly the same way. They should follow the same rules of grammar.

>After all, she pointed out, “We already capitalize Asian, Hispanic, African American and Native American.”

Then the obvious move is to capitalize White as well.

>capitalizing the word in this context risks following the lead of white supremacists.

Nonsense. White supremacists drink water too, but that doesn't mean water consumption risks following their lead.

Those were the days!

From reading the comments you would think there was some conspiracy of silence surrounding this tidbit. The truth is that it's simply not the important part of the story upon which history did or did not turn.

The failed English expedition wasn't a part of a larger invasion of Spain that presented an existential threat to the Spanish governing apparatus.

The status of the new church in England was far from a settled question at the time of the SA. This represented a real potential turning point or historical counterfactual had the monarchy been placed back in the hands of a Catholic. There was no such tension underpinning the English counter-raid.

Your history teachers didn't hide this from you. They curated the curriculum to fit highlight the more important bits because there's only so many hours in a school day.

Erosion will destroy tangiers long before rising seas.

Well they've been charged with murder, so that's exactly what should happen when there's been a murder.

I don't think so. It happened in Memphis. But apparently we're about to see a bunch of cops straight up beat a guy to death, and there is a lot of concern that it might get wild once the video goes public.

The History of Ancient Greece podcast just released their most recent episode about Xenophon and the Anabasis. Gives you the whole thing in about 2 hours if anyone's interested.

Trey in a suit is a bit bizarre.

>Climate Change bill that includes provisions for mental health

Man, I wish we could pass specific bills one at a time rather than 500 unrelated things crammed into one massive bill.

Don't forget Homer. They loved Homer.

I've got a surefire system!

Kind of silly to assert that Jesus doesn't hate sin:

>And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from within, and defile the man. Mark 7, 20-23

Yeah, didn't Jimmy John's close after less than a year or two?

"Oh, Michael you should have way more fears than that."

He probably will

My polling place always has the same two people handing out sample ballots for their respective parties. They don't annoy anyone. They even seem to get along with each other from what I can see.

Yes, it's wrong to blame publicly held companies for trying to be as profitable as they can. That's quite literally their obligation to their shareholders. They're not running a charity.

Because it's not alarming or particularly unexpected? Energy companies make more when energy prices increase. When energy prices come back down, so will Shell's profits. Broadly speaking, Shell is more at the mercy of these global market forces than they are in control of them. I'm sure XOM and CVX are also doing quite well this year.

Any news on the 4th of July?

Not really. It was about political power more than anything. Catholic France sided with the Protestants.
