Comedy routine still needs some work.
A comedy routing is something a comedian has worked out over a period of time, that is crafted and often in preparation for a filmed special or recorded album. I think this would be more accurately defined as a joke.

And jokes are funny. Things that are funny are not usually considered work, so I think what you actually meant was probably that your joke needs to be re-written.

just by chance, the wife and i decided to rewatch Amistad recently. i don’t think i’d seen it since it originally came out

coincidentally, there is currently a renewed push (led by a group of black scuba divers associated with NatGeo) to find as many sunken slave ships as possible (likely more than 1,000) and tell their stories and the stories of their captives

this is the group that recently discovered the slave ship Clotilda in Alabama’s Mobile River, which is believed to be the last such ship to have illegally transported slaves to the US

This Woman Saved the Americas From the Nazis

Pioneering codebreaker Elizebeth Friedman, a poet and mother of two, smashed spy rings by solving secret messages.

...

...Although she put gangsters behind bars and smashed Nazi spy rings in South America, Friedman’s name has been forgotten. Her work remained classified for decades, and others took credit for her achievements...

fucking Hoover…smfh

Conservatives are so cute. CRT is very much a right side of history issue. All they are doing is delaying the inevitable.

the inevitability, imo, is that this country continues to become less white and more multi-cultural

the right stomping their feet about faux CRT teaching is indicative of their fear of a stasis that is disappearing. if there is one guarantee in this life, it’s change

Seahawk or Japhy posted a wonderful analogy of this scenario several months ago.

About idealistic America, where you went to Church on Sunday and came home to watch your favorite Andy Griffith show while eating fried chicken…

South Park has a great take on it with the member berries.

So many Mericans long for some rosy sentimental days of yore that never actually existed, and sucked either way for anyone who wasn’t a white straight Christian male.

Q longs for those days too.

How nostalgic!

… What is school for? This is the kind of foundational question that arises when a crisis shakes the public’s faith in an essential institution. “The original thinkers about public education were concerned almost to a point of paranoia about creating self-governing citizens,” Robert Pondiscio, a former fifth-grade teacher in the South Bronx and a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, told me. “Horace Mann went to his grave having never once uttered the phrase college- and career-ready. We’ve become more accustomed to thinking about the private ends of education. We’ve completely lost the habit of thinking about education as citizen-making.”…
