Real media literacy is knowing that there is no correct, final, or definitive reading of a text. Any reading that can be backed up with the text is valid. If Maverick from"Top Gun" can have a queer reading, then "Judge Dread" can be viewed as unironic fascistic glorification. This Atlantic author's argument boils down to dueling book reports.

"multiple valid interpretations" =/= "all interpretations are equal"

To be clear: I'm talking about a possibility, not a prediction.

We've nothing to go on but incomplete and likely incorrect public information. It would be foolish of me to entrench around speculation.

These are not the same person. They fit the description, and where near the scene. Police would want to talk to both regardless.

Nevermind the Tax stuff. I was soooooo looking forward to his gun charge going to court.

if you don't know, he was charged with perjury because when you buy a gun you have to check a box that says you haven't abused drugs in 90 days or some shit. With this SCOUTS, it would be hard to imagine this provision surviving a challenge. After all, if we accept that buying a gun is a right, then some government agency can't deny you that with an arbitrary rule.

The gun nuts would be forced to choose between persecuting Trump's enemies and gun rights.

Superhero movies are big budget police procedurals where the goal of the heroes is always to protect the status quo.

It's obtuse to treat the bear metaphor as a math problem. It's doubly so to correct the work.

The first half of your comment is an acknowledgement that you don't understand American culture and the second half is you casting declarative judgement upon it.

I don't know which one of your minds to respond to.

This is shaping up to be the official first shit-show of Trump's second term. Remember, if Gaetz is only prominent in Washington and under the graces of Trump because he blew up the House to oust McCarthy.

Would anyone be surprised if McCarthy was whipping votes against Gaetz?

Say what you want about Google products, but they're all built to be functional without touchscreens or mice. I fucking love that.

I've been daily driving firefox since the early 2000s, but Mozilla is just about the worst offender, because keyboard options exist, but are obviously programing afterthoughts. In firefox settings, there are some "alt" letters (underlined letters that you can select by pressing alt+that letter) But some of those letters are capitalized, so now, you have to press shift+alt+letter. PAIN

Carrot browsing (navigate websites with the keyboard) can be activated with F7. A dialogue box pops up to confirm and it has the option "do not show this again", but that option is a checkbox only the mouse can check. (no tab over). RAGE

Using Linux is often about ethics, it just doesn't make you a good person.
