Evergreen Race S___show

Yesterday, I reported that there were riots going on at TESC, due to one professor questioning unrealistic demands made by the student body.

Today, TESC has been shut down for the weekend.

The Associated Press has published an article about the shutdown, providing an analysis of what led up to the closure (including a phone call made by an as-of-now anonymous person):


In addition, the Seattle Times released a copy of a 911 call about the college via Soundcloud, featuring a person announcing their plan to kill so-called "communist scumbags" (NSFW):

So now, it's a shitshow on both sides. As a result of (essentially pointless) riots over outlandish demands made by Cooper Point Journal writers, as well as an extremist threatening to murder people with a weapon, TESC has devolved into a state of chaos.

Way to go. Because the best way to argue is to riot and threaten death, right?

Yes, The Confederate Flag Is Racist

Image
While sifting through various, less-than-enlightened corners of the internet, I've heard people claim that what the Battle Flag of the Army of Northern Virginia symbolizes is not reprehensible ("Heritage, not Hate", as those folks might say").

First off, let's look at the definition of "Heritage" (courtesy of Dictionary.com):
Something that is handed down from the past, as a tradition.Second off, let's look at the definition of  "Hate" (also courtesy of Dictionary.com):


Intense dislike; extreme aversion or hostility.

The meaning of the flag of the Confederate States of America was described by William Thompson (quote in the caption under the flag). In short, the Confederate Flag symbolized hate, and belongs in a museum (instead of on public monuments and such).

Glovannas Is Missing!

Note: The title of this post if based off of the name of the classic Super Mario game Mario Is Missing!
The day is 14 July 2017. I, for the first time, set up my computer in my new house, plugging in all the cords and extension outlets.
Upon getting connected to the internet, I went to glovannas.deviantart.com (the now-former profile page for James Glovannas, a popular DeviantArtist). To my horror, I discovered that he had left this note: I left DeviantArt because I'm never on here and I hate it here. Please don't ask me for my Instagram unless you already follow me. Boom. Just like that, three years' worth of user history was gone. Glovannas had deleted everything they've ever submitted to DeviantArt, as well as every journal post he's made (strangely, his favorites gallery still exists).

Glovannas had nearly 555K pageviews before he vanished, and was popular among other DeviantArtists:

Dutch General Election 2017

CJ-Moki here. A post about the General Election yesterday in the Netherlands:

Yesterday, all the way East in the Netherlands, an election to elect all 150 members to the Dutch House of Representatives has held yesterday. Thankfully, despite various predictions in the wake of right-wing victories such as Brexit and the Trump election, Geert Wilders' far-right Party for Freedom lost in the election. Bigly, as President Trump would put it. I am glad that the primary right-wing extremist force in the Netherlands failed to gain much power in last night's election. Here is a link to a BBC story about the election.

 CJ-Moki, signing off. The next notable election in the western world will be Bulgaria's National Assembly election on the 26th.
