Rewatching this with my daughter and I know most Discworld fans hated it (including Rhianna Pratchett) but we loved it. It nails Carrot, the relationship of the group, and the humor. Totally worth seeing if you're a fan. #discworld

Well, I guess I won't have to wonder anymore if a news article mentions "MTG" if it is about a collectible card game or a politician.

An absolutely huge week of #comics this coming Wednesday on my pull list @zeuscomics.bsky.social . I'm a little sad to see Batman: Dark Patterns end. And why did no one tell me Peter Milligan had a new comic coming out?!

Listening to the newly remastered and re-released "Son of Sam I Am" by Too Much Joy and realized they totally nailed "performative masculinity" thirty-five years ago with these lyrics:

"Guys quote Michael Stipe in bars / to pick up girls who own their cars"

As an educator, this chilling effect will have ramifications for generations. And the focus on civics specifically is ultimately anti-democratic. (Gift link to article below)

History lessons are being wiped from the internet, and California is retreating from ethnic studies, as education swings away from curriculums that are seen as too progressive.
