focusing human history around war isn't just really boring, but a really pessimistic view of what humans do

Disney-styled racism, US his
Disney's attempt at an "America-land" just outside DC was some real haunting shit. From big name historians taking sides in a nationally-covered court battle to absolutely slimy Southern governors. But more than anything, it's about how profoundly American Disney is, and vice versa
*CW* racism and Disney-washing, especially slavery, Indigenous genocide, immigration
Watch "Defunctland: The War for Disney's America" on YouTube

Broke: Parents are forcing their tomboys to transition and be trans
Woke: Parents are forcing their trans kids to NOT transition and be tomboys
misgendering
I was a tomboy growing up, except that I had no interest in sports or being rowdy, and cried a lot. But I sure hated wearing dresses and being called a girl!!!!
A US general named Westmoreland? Sounds fake.
Actually, I kind of hate "gender nonconforming" because it sounds like cop-speak. It's such an outsider's view of a person's personal expression. When I was 19 and wearing baggy dad jeans to class was that gender nonconformity? No, fuck you, I was conforming to my gender of dad.
transphobia
On the HDTGM episode on "Hackers," they spend an extended amount of time expressing sheer cis befuddlement that hackers would wear gender nonconforming clothing, and I think that's beautiful
Slavery
One of my favorite moments in "Harriet" was when the white woman slaveowner was just crying and losing her shit over being the real victim in the situation when a bunch of crackers got mad at her family for letting their slaves run away
Hot atomic take
I can barely hear the difference between the "right" way and the "wrong" way to say "nuclear".

@root it's because dwarf fortress doesn't have scripting for dogs.
every single creature in dwarf fortress is implemented using the same system. even wagons. wagons can die of fright.
here's all the code that dwarf fortress has for dogs: https://github.com/BenLubar/raws/blob/v0.44.12/objects/creature_domestic.txt#L5-L123 more than half of that code is setting up fur colors.
everything in dwarf fortress is even weirder than you expect, even when taking this rule into account. I highly recommend jumping into this rabbit hole, because it's fascinating.

[shoves being trans in your face by talking about my personal life]

Hell yeah, can't wait to see this opera about the life of Julie D'Aubigny, the 17th century sword-fighting opera singer who burnt down a nunnery so she could run away with her girlfriend: https://www.newcamerataopera.org/events/julie
