You know in movies where they kinda wipe their hand gently over the face of a dead guy and it closes their eyes. It would be a good gag if they did that on a guy with glasses. Either his eyes close or the glasses turn into sunglasses.

I mean before it even starts getting really weird in the second paragraph he opens with "a friend told me race is just people's brains making patterns out of a collection of random traits they see but that's stupid because I can easily find patterns in random traits I see"

I'm going to tell my favorite story again about reflecting the certainty of beliefs back at people who don't expect it.
A friend was one of the few Jews on faculty at a North Dakota University. Every year, his colleague in religious studies would invite him to come to his religious studies class...

Perform empathy. Please. Perform the fuck out of it. It's so good to act with kindness. I hope it penetrates to a place where you feel it, too, but if you must act some way, act the right way. I'm not here to judge your authenticity, I just want you to be kind, thoughtful, and mortified by meanness.

I feel like the persistence of this point (despite backlash in the discourse) is that we only seem to talk about it to say how little we talk about it. Boosters seem to take this as evidence of significance, but I think Noah's comparison to The Big Bang Theory is apt (GoT might be better comparison)
avatar remains an odd phenomenon; a very successful major big budget franchise that has somehow very little cultural footprint. tons of people see it; very little discussion of it. 1

I had no idea this is how the NORAD Santa tracker got started! www.npr.org/2014/12/19/3...
NORAD's Santa Tracker began with a typo and a good sport
It all started in 1955 with a misprint in a Colorado newspaper and a call to Col. Harry Shoup's secret military hotline. Shoup played along with the tiny voice who called, and a tradition was born.

I'm old enough to remember when they started playing commercials before trailers in theaters. People older than me were offended by it, I didn't think it was a big deal, but I should have listened. We should have held the line. I should have listened.
