I'm not denying that. Until this point it looked like it was a class thing, and now it's a political purge.

They cancelled their LA department and anyone designing games from there. So, California loses again.

Not when pumpkin spice flavoring is in the wind.

This is the summer of Geekstuff and we should all celebrate it.

I saw the parallels when teaching at a university. The women studies teachers all demanded the right colors be worn and told students about graffiti with their symbols. Since I had studied gang culture a while back, it was easy to spot.

This isn't about black kids, it's about being seen as smart even when you're not. There are parents that will force their kids into gifted programs even when the kid hasn't a clue. It muddies the waters for all the actual smart kids, and lets the teachers pretend everyone is faking it. Doogie Houser was a doctor by your age, this kid is in your advanced calc class and is ten years old, iron man anything, and then fake smart kid movies. The ones where the smart kid rises from poverty to prove to everyone how smart they are. That sounds great to non smart people who love movies, but not the actual smart kid.

It has all the hallmarks of people who want the kids to win based on desires not actual reality. If it sounds too much like a Hollywood movie script, it can't be real. Kids from the ghetto mumble rap to national debate win is exactly that.

It's not muddying the waters for black kids, it's making the smart kids look dumb.

It's a difficult subject. I know some people who really shouldn't have kids. At least one of them has been offered a fully paid sterility operation by her family. So, these people exist.

However, I also know the kids from these pieces of shit. I'm working to adopt one, and have had several others in my house as foster kids. If I say they need to cut the line, which kid would I choose to not exist so society is better? As a foster parent, that's a terrifying thought even though I agree with the sentiment.

Which is why I use thread reader, and then archive it.

That is very true. We should listen to the most respected because we put them there. But which We are we talking about?

It's not even a thing in academic circles. Harvard is the most respected, not the best. I had several ivy League profs in my university.

They all admitted my rink a dink school was better because we wanted to learn and not use our status to get good grades. A history prof pointed out the big names were more for building up a network, not the education or abilities made. This is why the history department started to work on creating networks for job placement outside of academia.

Want to know something annoying about this? The mob started Hollywood. It was a bunch of money laundering schemes with movies as cover. It's a well known fact in the business and talked about in books without actually saying it.

The mob came from immigrants who were basically illegal and used their own networks to get by. This is also well known, and talked about a ton. The fact that Jews were in those same neighborhoods and part of the mob is even talked about in Goodfellas. The main character is Jewish and based on a real guy.

There are museums dedicated to mob influence in all sorts of stuff. My favorite one is in Las Vegas Nevada. It talks about how the mob created Vegas casinos.

But mention that silicon valley, Hollywood today, or even General Electric are run by the mob and you are silenced. Mention the obvious signs, and that there are a lot of Jews in them and you are put down hard.

I don't think Jews are the source. It's a side bet that specific Jewish groups run the mob. Most Jewish people don't even know about it.

Most of the big names in the Justice League are that way. They're good by choice. Batman does dirty stuff, but always for the greater good. Superman respects him for that. It's how they choose to be good that's their differences.

There's a great comic called Huck. At first you think he's stupid until you realize his powers mean he doesn't see the world the same. He chooses to do good, and the entire town respects him for that.

He seems willing to do what is needed by the people. This scares those in charge.
