The infanticide was historically accurate - although probably at a scale less than the movie implies. But it is in sources.

But yeah - the way that the film portrays the treatment of disabled people is especially gross. Pay attention to who is in the court of Xerxes - the acceptance of disabled bodies is presented as akin to the sort of “decadence” of these evil Persians. (If a necromancer brought Edward Said back to life to watch 300, it would probably kill him again.)

The movie is basically a Triumph of the Will for Spartans and torture for anyone who’s actually researched Greek history (Leonidus calling the Athenians “boy lovers” is teeth gritting, part of a Spartan education was getting fucked by older men…)

Did anyone walk away from that movie thinking “this is an unreliable narrator story and we shouldn’t take the fash-y elements at face value” or was it “damn the Spartans were bad ass”?

Do you know any kids who have been married at age 12? I do. And guess what? They're still married.

Republican Mike Moon

And John Rose met his wife judging a 4H contest.

(Fun fact: you can’t file for divorce as a minor)

Also as a mandatory reporter in the state of Oklahoma… hahhahahahahahah. I just wrote an affidavit about how seriously CPS takes shit.

Benny (“having a wet pussy is a sign of an infection, according to my doctor wife”) is just jealous of anyone who can pull off an acting career.

On the Synder track, 300 is just a really uncomfortable movie. It’s a propaganda movie for a hell-state.

There was a “code blue” in Oklahoma and Texas today because someone shot a cop at a detention facility. People are doing shit, the media isn’t covering it.

Alex Jones just had a caller that was asking how to get his undocumented wife on the list of the “good ones.”

Yeah, not all isosceles (two sides are congruent/same, one side different) triangles are right. The comment only works if it’s a 45-45-90 isosceles triangle.

Any isoceles right triangle is going to have a hypotenuse \sqrt{2} times whatever the congruent sides are. But a non-right triangle is always a little more complicated to deal with.

There don’t seem to be any good math pages on Facebook. I’d like some sort of “daily brain teaser” but it’s all ambiguously written arithmetic problems with parentheses and division, or shit like using “e” as a variable to be obnoxious.

$$ \sqrt{\sec(\theta)-1} $$

I also usually really want people to know that, but it’s not “completing the square” or “wffence of txsquare.”

 

The more I look at it, the more I feel like my brain is being hacked.

 

The staff were pretty kind all around, facility was clean.

The dystopian aspect was how many people I saw denied, because they had donated yesterday. You can give twice a week, but have to wait a day in between. I saw at least four or five people get turned away, and they were all pretty upset. The line was extremely long - there are tons of people desperate enough to wait in line for hours to go through the painful process of having their blood sapped out.

I also got a preloaded card as my payment, which has a ton of fees associated with it - I’ll get charged if I use it at an atm or check the balance. I know these cash cards are often also used to pay people who work at like McDonald’s - it just seems like so much of the US is designed to nickel and dime the shit out of the poor.

 

This is the “Emergency Certified” Teacher Facebook group.

These people possibly have bachelor’s degrees, but in subjects completely unrelated to the subjects they will be teaching.

Common complaints are about the tests being too hard (they aren’t, you can memorize the questions on fucking quizlet).

My first year teaching I was pulled aside and told by my principal, “you actually have a degree in this, you’ll have to step in to help your team” - because the other science teachers were a Physical Education teacher and the schools secretary.

But no f-ggots allowed! Being a drag queen on the weekends disqualifies you to be a school principal now, no matter how good you were at it.

 

A lovely book of retro shitposts/meme-ery.

 

inb4 the inevitable jokes, this is a genuine question.

I’m learning to juggle, I’ve got a lot of experience doing different kinds of presentations for children, I thrifted a guide to making balloon animals and will buy supplies to practice if I end up winning an Amazon gift card at work.

The other things I imagine I would need are getting the make up down. I’d love to go to Mooseburger, but financially not in the cards.

How does one start doing festivals? Making money would be nice, but I’d be happy to do things like kids hospitals for free.

 
 
 

I’ve been trying to get the sexual and physical abuse of children at a “hospital” investigated for more than a year now. I told OCCY that all they would need to do is go in and look at the camera footage, they told me that I should break in and get it myself.

In the year since I’ve started trying to get an investigation started, another child has died. (OCCY refuses to comply with Open Records Act requests on why a child died there in 2003… almost like they’re covering up something.)

What a great state! Imagine That!

 

The paint is about a centimeter thick. Going to cut it and make “fordite” if I can manage to thrift a rock tumbler.
