also always deeply funny that every sci-fi video game from 1999-2014 was trying to be Aliens, and copied everything except the...working class woman protagonist
Everyone imitates Tolkien all the time except when it comes to the one way it would really matter: making the protagonist of your novel for children a short, fat, 50-year-old man who doesn't want to do anything.

What's funny to me is that it's proof gender is a construct because whether a gingerbread person is a gingerbread man or gingerbread woman comes solely down to what icing decorations you put on them. Bow tie? Gingerbread man. Hair bow? Gingerbread woman.
I'd pay good money just to see her argument for these biscuits being "biologically male"

Nintendo can brick your Switch 2, if they for some reason don't like what you are doing with it. You don't own your hardware anymore. It owns you. It plays ads, is stuffed with AI, is expensive...
Is it much of a suprise people buy old tech from a time when it was still made to serve the user?

UPDATE: Another Chicago-area church has put up an immigration-themed Nativity scene.
A church member at Urban Village Church sent this one along, where Mary, Joseph and Jesus are gone and replaced with a sign that reads: “Due to ICE activity in our community, the Holy Family is in hiding.”

The most realistic scene in DS9 is when Gul Dukat whined about how the Bajorans never erected a statue in his honor. A prophetic text.

This is also why several western states are the shapes they are - There was a fight prior to the Civil War where both pro- and anti-slavery sides were adding new states to the Union in equal numbers (to keep the Senate balanced), so sliced up territories to fit the compromise lines they'd made up.

The thing you have to understand about Columbine is that Klebold and Harris were in tune with the White Nationalist 'Militia Movement' sweeping the nation in the 1990s (they were common, garden neonazis masquerading as Freedom Seekers, much like the Red Magas of today).
They were blamed for Columbine, because the shooters liked the band. Blaming artists for “inciting violence” is a game the authorities have been playing for as long as societies have existed.
