Between the ticket prices and the, ah, challenging political climate in the US, I am really curious what game attendance will be.

Stats are valid when they are used in the proper context and are not being misrepresented. For example, Black and Native American people account for a disproportionate number of drowning deaths in the US. But it would be irresponsible to simply conclude that those groups are inherently bad swimmers. Just like the way the 13/50 trope is irresponsibly used to imply non-whites are inherently more prone to criminal behavior.

All that aside, this meme isn’t attacking men. It’s attacking sexist tropes used against women.

Quoting crime statistics based on race, like the old “13/50” trope, is often used to enforce racist notions that minority groups are inherently bad people. It’s punching down at marginalized people.

This meme, at least as I see it, is the opposite. It’s satirizing the usual crap from the anti-feminist crowd claiming that women are inherently inferior. It’s punching up at sexist men.

Mine is a video. In my memory it’s a well-produced, fast-paced, choreographed fight scene featuring the Power Rangers battling a band of generic goons for possession of some MacGuffin: a crystal or orb or whatever. The twist is, the whole thing is set to the song Run by Ghostface Killah. Every few years I look for it, and always come up empty-handed.

One sneeze and there will be a lot of other things in his heart, too.

Know when the museums have free or discounted events for the locals.

Know that the library probably has free passes to the museums, too!

And if you’re in a city with a decent sized college, there are lots of cheap or free interesting things to do related to it: public lectures, music performances, theater, sports…

I missed that, my bad.

This also occurred in the middle of the Great Vowel Shift, a period when spoken English pronunciation was changing significantly.

I don’t even try to hide it anymore. My manager and I send each other memes during the work day.

I wish you could send some of your snow over here. I love the stuff, and I usually have to drive to the mountains to get to it.
