Payton Armstrong at MMFA:
Right-wing media figures are praising Oklahoma State Superintendent of Public Instruction Ryan Walters’ mandate that the state’s public schools teach the Bible, including declaring that the government needs to “impose Christian values on the pagans” and encouraging other states to follow Walters’ lead. Following his announcement of the new Bible mandate for Oklahoma's public schools, Walters has spoken with Fox News and other right-wing media to promote the policy, including appearing with a right-wing commentator and pastor who has promised to “embrace Christian Nationalism” and apparently “reached out” to Walters about mandating the Bible in schools. Notably, Walters has a history of taking education policy advice from right-wing media figures.
After issuing the mandate, Walters appeared on several right-wing media programs and said a far-right media figure and pastor had pitched the policy
During an appearance after issuing the mandate, Walters claimed that right-wing commentator and pastor Jackson Lahmeyer, who has promised to “embrace Christian nationalism” and previously ran for U.S. Senate in Oklahoma, encouraged him to implement such a policy last year. At Lahmeyer’s church, Walters claimed that the pastor had “documented this, he reached out, and we’ve been looking at it now for about a year,” arguing, “How do you teach history without the Bible? You can’t. It is academic malpractice.” Lahmeyer, who said in 2022 that he “will embrace Christian Nationalism,” praised Walters for issuing the mandate and suggested other states would follow his lead. [Broken Arrow Sentinel, 6/30/24; Media Matters, 6/5/24; Rolling Stone, 12/27/22; PR Newswire, 10/4/22]
Oklahoma Superintendent of Public Education Ryan Walters (R)’s plan to indoctrinate Sooner State students with Bible instruction came from Christian Nationalist pastor Jackson Lahmeyer.

Greg Owen at LGBTQ Nation:
The Right Squad, a collection of far-right homophobes on the Republican propaganda organ Newsmax, all agree that the new gay-friendly Disney+ series Agatha All Along from Disney’s Marvel Studios is a threat to children. “It’s a recruiting video,” claimed host Chris Plante. The stars of the hit Disney+ series are “flaunting and flailing with joy that the show is the gayest Marvel series ever,” Plante offered, thrilled “that the Marvel Universe isn’t just for straight men anymore.”
It’s evidence the show’s creators, and by extension Disney, are “targeting the kids.” “We’ve seen it in the schools and the books and the libraries and the genderqueer and the graphic novels,” Plante said of an alleged LGBTQ+ cabal preying on kids, “and it’s always the children.” Panelist Jason Nichols said he didn’t need to see gay people on screen to know they exist. In fact, he said he hadn’t even seen the show but opined that “it’s inappropriate for children” and that Disney “should make sure that people know that it’s inappropriate for children.” “You don’t have to act like they don’t exist in film,” Nichols said of gay people, referring to actor Joe Locke’s statements of support for Agatha All Along’s inclusiveness. “I don’t know exactly what they mean.”
The most revealing take came from Mercedes Schlapp, wife of alleged groper Matt Schlapp, whose once-powerful anti-LGBTQ+ advocacy group, the American Conservative Union, imploded last year after young male staffers assigned to Herschel Walker’s doomed Senate campaign came forward accusing the group’s chairman of fondling them. [...] Without a trace of irony, Mercedes Schlapp denounced Disney for “this obsession with sexuality and sex, just children in general, and then putting that in front of the children.” “I mean, it’s just sick,” she ranted. “Go back to storytelling, go back to the innocence of children. That’s really where they should focus on.” “Obviously, they’re more focused about men,” Schlapp added, sputtering, “and, you know, gay men and straight men.”  
Get over it, triggered right-wingers!

Life After "The Big Three" with Chris Plante
youtube
On this week's episode of Wavelengths I talked to Chris Plante of Polygon.com and The Besties about what it would take for a company to become a major player in the video game console market in 2023 and beyond.
This episode is audio only due to some logistical issues, but we'll be back with video for the next one. Thanks for understanding! 😘

Due to a long series of events, my friends and I are going to sell zombie-related stuff at our university, so I made these PvZ x RE stickers to sell! I thought I might share them with the world a bit! (I'll post some pictures of them once I print them)

To all my wildlife, ecology, biology, nature enthusiasts: if you haven't already checked it out, PLEASE check out The Wild with Chris Morgan. It's a fantastic podcast that I've been consuming voraciously these last few weeks. It touches on all kinds of animals, biomes and regions, and issues that impact conservation. He talks with experts as well as civilians that have a vested interest in each animal or plant and it's absolutely amazing to listen to. Cannot praise it highly enough.

Jacina Hollins-Borges at MMFA:
MAGA media figures are preparing their audiences to believe that the upcoming presidential debate on CNN will be unfairly biased against Donald Trump.  While Trump has already begun saying that the June 27 debate will be rigged against him, right-wing media attacks escalated this week after an interview with Trump campaign spokesperson Karoline Leavitt was cut off on CNN’s This Morning when she refused to stop attacking network anchor Jake Tapper. Right-wing media seized on the incident as supposed evidence that the CNN debate will be unfair, and some called for Trump to cancel the debate if the network does not officially apologize.
Right-wing media had a meltdown over CNN’s Kasie Hunt cutting off Trump spokesliar Karoline Leavitt on Monday’s edition of CNN This Morning.

A pretty much perfect afternoon. I prepared my roast (chicken this week) and while that was cooking I did some figure drawing and then some random quick portrait practice in neocolor crayon. And I listened to all the Led Zeppelin albums in order, as far as Physical Graffiti, serving up the meal to Kashmir. Nice.

I think Chris Cornell is my favourite. If you don't know his solo stuff, listen to Through the Window - it's lovely.

I would say it’s unrealistic to write a fic where Chris comes home after the summer only to find out Buck and Tommy have moved in but then I remembered Eddie canonically asked Marisol to move in within a week of Chris being out of town
