Anyone else starting to get annoyed they keep calling what's clearly a revival a "reboot"

If it's continuing from the previous era, and nothing's starting over, and most or all of the previous cast are coming back, it is DEFINITIONALLY a revival not a reboot

A Thread: So, I been thinking about Othello and the Alt-right, and I have a thesis. May be me being overly analytical, but here it is. Iago hates Othello, not just because he's a Moor, but because both of them are unhappy, but Iago feels he (Iago) is ENTITLED to be happy.

Remember: The buying of News media by large corporations and billionaires is an effort to prevent muckraking endeavors into their own business affairs.

It's a tactic to delay information of their own wicked deeds

“Theirs is a logic of destruction. It is very hard to create a large, legitimate, functioning government. The oligarchs have no plan to govern. They will take what they can, and disable the rest. The destruction is the point.”
Sometimes self-government just means elections. And sometimes it means recognizing the deeper dignity and meaning of what it means to be a people. That means speaking up, standing out, and protesting. We can only be free together.

I appreciate the effort to sound the alarm and identify historic echoes—and many are making this analogy—but Hirschfeld’s Institute for Sexual Science, unlike the NIH et al., was not a government agency. Worse, the book burnings of 1933 did not involve the Institute setting its own records on fire.
