It’s called “The Last of Us” because it’s about…
*drum rolls*
…the last of us. As in the people that survived, it’s right there in the title Ben.

If you think The Last of Us is about zombies then you're as brain dead as one. It's always been a story about love under circumstances that push people to the brink, about the extremes of light and dark humanity is capable of. Then again what would this chode know about love?

In case you missed it, you can trick people into believing anything if you frame your claims as hidden, suppressed knowledge. Few people are aware that claims are more attractive if they’re presented as something few are aware of. I’ve been attacked and censored for saying this.

All a man wants is to come home from a long day at work to a grateful wife and children who are glad to see him, and dinner cooking on the stove. This is literally all it takes to make a man happy. We are simple. Give us this and you will have given us nearly everything we need.

The delightful surprise of Teen Vogue isn't that they have a liberal bent, it's that they go head on and hard at primarily political targets. Shame on me for thinking of it as "just" a fashion mag but the revelation is how unapologetic and direct they are!

Great article via and on the Reconstruction Era, and the ongoing attack by American school districts (mainly in the south) to hide such a transformative and emancipatory moment in United States history.

Despite the fact that Reconstruction is an important, influential chapter in American history — and that we are still dealing with the fallout of its end

“The Dunning School peddled in this ‘lost cause’ narrative that made the South seem like a noble cause, as if they were fighting for tradition rather than fighting to maintain human bondage... a narrative that weaved itself into corporate textbooks all over the country...”
