    Most Americans have their talking points ready to go around certain topics: healthcare, guns etc. But if you get anything that attacks the capitalism, building the country off of slave labor, or the country being the product of a genocide, that’s when the propaganda really kicks in.

    Oh and if you call it propaganda, then the denialism gets even stronger.





  • I don’t know why I’m here commenting about this, but I love type, so:

    Hyphen (-): the short one, used for hyphenated words. fire-eaters. Close-up.

    en-dash (–): slightly longer, traditionally the length of a lowercase"n" in the typeface. Used between for things like a timeframe. 10–11:30, August–October

    em-dash (—): the longest of the three, and the length of a lowercase “m”. Used as a punctuation mark to denote a side comment or to abruptly cut off a sentence. “It’s a great punctuation mark—in fact I overuse it—but it’s still useful.” “Hey where are you going with that giant—”

    I didn’t bother to double check the definitions, so there might be more specific rules, but these are my rules of thumb.

    I absolutely agree, I think you ahem that lead actress should win an Oscar.

    But I think it’s important that we don’t let enjoying things become synonymous with liking (mindless purchasing) the corporate products that are being sold to us at a breakneck pace.

    What ways do we have to still create our own ways to have fun? How can we make our own “weird barbies”?
