PEMDAS -- 11•19•20

Welcome to the new PEMDAS Blog! My work on PEMDAS keeps expanding each week so it needs a bigger home. She loves The Overwhelm.

My main goal is to have a one glance spot for all things news/entertainment. I want it to contain as much detail as possible without being too cluttered. Striking the balance is hard. If you have feedback, please share it with me.

Open below for PEMDAS!

POLITICS/NEWS

U.S. Coronavirus Numbers

More than 11,695,500 people in the United States have been infected with the coronavirus and at least 251,100 have died.

The number of people who have died from Coronavirus in the U.S. is equivalent to 84 times the number of U.S. citizens who died in the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. It is 56 times the number of U.S. soldiers who died in the war against Iraq. It is 7 times the number of U.S. citizens who died from the flu last year.

On Nov. 18: 1,923 deaths (+52% 14-day change), 172,391 infections (+77% 14-day change)

The rates of infection and death remain disproportionately high in the Native American communities across the country. Just last weekend, 600 Native people died on the Navajo reservation.

Sen. Chuck Grassley from Iowa has contracted coronavirus. The nation mourns :-(

Global Coronavirus Numbers

The coronavirus pandemic has sickened more than 56,661,800 people, according to official counts. As of Thursday afternoon, at least 1,355,100 people have died.

On Nov. 18: 11,133 deaths (+13% 14-day change), 598,877 infections (+25% 14-day change)

Election 2020

President-Elect Biden claims that Trump’s refusal to concede the election is preventing him from accessing critical data about the U.S. outbreak and that this could slow the vaccine distribution process.

President-Elect Biden names Cecilia Muñoz as part of his transition team. Muñoz served as a top immigration advisor for Obama, justifying harsh immigration policies, including the deportation of thousands of Central American children and the killing of an executive order that would have halted deportations.

Nancy Pelosi is re-elected as Speaker of the House.

World News

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo toured an illegal Israeli settlement and said he has plans to tour another in the occupied Golan Heights. This violates multiple U.N. resolutions and the Geneva Conventions. He also labelled the B.D.S. movement “anti-Semitic.”

In Central America, at least 30 people have died from Hurricane Iota. About 160,000 Nicaraguans and 70,000 Hondurans were forced to flee from their homes.

The head of the Australian military has apologized to the people of Afghanistan after Australian special forces committed war crimes by killing 39 noncombatants in Afghanistan over the past 4 years.

A nearly three-decade-old ceasefire has ended in occupied Western Sahara — what many consider to be Africa’s last colony. Fighting has broken out in several areas between the Moroccan military and the Polisario Front, the Sahrawi liberation movement seeking independence, after the Moroccan military broke into a no-go buffer zone in southern Western Sahara.

EDUCATION — Topic: this Candace Owens tweet

“There is no society that can survive without strong men. The East knows this.“

Both of these sentences separately are not true; both of them together are not true.

Here is an article about a village in China (”the East”) with women running the show.

Here is a list of several others, mostly in “the East.”

“In the west, the steady feminization of our men at the same time that Marxism is being taught to our children is not a coincidence.“

First of all, Marx has not been an outright advocate for a gender-queer society.

Second of all, I think she’s right. Socialism and gender/queer theory are intertwined in so many ways.

“It is an outright attack.“

And I think she’s right about this, too. Socialism and gender/queer theory all are an attack on the cis-hetero white supremacist capitalist patriarchy.

“Bring back manly men.“

Okay, this is where I think she’s wrong again.

1) "Manly men” haven’t gone anywhere...

2) Is she basically arguing that a couple of men wearing dresses means every man is no longer “manly?” This makes no sense.

3) In a society, “manly men” can coexist with “feminized” men. There is enough room for everyone. And there will always be men who want to take up the “manly” MANtle. And there will be queer/trans masc people who will want to do the same, though I’m sure Candace would hate that.

Legends of Tomorrow - S5 E1 - Meet the Legends

(Sigh)... Yeah, I'm so bored, I'm going to watch Legends.......(sigh) Wait, the Legends saved the world and warmed up everyone to demons and metas and whatever; so why was the Time Bureau shut down? And why the fuck would the Wave Rider be at risk of being impounded? What, did Sara take out a mortgage on their time machine or some bullshit? Why the fuck does congress from the 21st century have any authority over a time machine from the future patrolling time? Also, if they want oversight, why the fuck would you shut down the Time Bureau??? Why have they managed to annoy me this much less than a minute into the first fucking episode of the season?

Wait, Nate was raised from the dead....? I guess that's something that sounds vaguely familiar; I'm completely out of fucks for this show to keep track of that shit.... Augh, because they had to make Super-Bro Nate more obnoxious for some reason... Cool, so Charlie's going to get the universe's first TTUI? This is where we find out that she crashes the jumpship, which causes the extinction of the dinosaurs, right? Is Mickey being the author of these romance novels a secret at this point? He's gone to book signings. He was at one during fucking Crisis! (Sigh) Fucking Gary..... So they're just going to gloss over there being two Supermen? I mean, I kind of get not going into so much detail as to bring up the fact that one of them looked like Ray, which only leads to more questions, but still... It took me a minute, but I take it the guy yelling, "I'm still outside, I'm still outside, don't leave me!" was the camera man shooting the exterior of the ship? Yeah, I guess that was reasonably funny. Jeez Gideon, this is why you never log onto the internet with protection; you know where that networks been. Are you at least using a firewall? But seriously, where the fuck does a sentient AI from the future pick up a computer virus that actually manages to cripple its systems? Is this a byproduct of Zari's timeline changing? Remember back in the day when doing a time jump everyone aboard had to get buckled in; and upon arrival almost everyone felt queasy or disoriented? No? Yeah, neither do the writers. I get that we wouldn't get to see what Constantine and Gary were doing otherwise, on account of the documentary conceit, but seriously, why the fuck would the camera crew be following these guys who are not presently involved with whatever the Wave Rider crew are doing? Also, so does being a Fairy God Mother mean you can negate free will? Because how did Gary wish for something that required Constantine's consent and Nora just grant it without John having a say? Good thing Gary didn't wish to have sex with John, so far as we know... (Sigh) Fucking Ava..... This just further supports my theory that Gideon is actually a super villain who's been getting in the heads of all the heroes and personnel who come aboard the Wave Rider and makes them stupid, in order to carry out some grand scheme. Who the fuck would be the oblivious as to write a condolence card like that? (Sigh).... Fucking Atom-cam..... seriously? And yeah, at least this instance Ava has it right; if you're a time traveling superhero and some creep in the past who supposed to be dead is suddenly not dead, you don't dick around, you put him in the ground. Is it too much to hope for the other morons to get caught in the crossfire? Nothing fatal, per se, but just like, "oh no, Nate accidentally caught a bullet in the leg and he forgot to list all the medicines he's allergic to, so the sedative they gave him at the hospital caused a bad reaction and he's lapsed into a coma for the next 50 years...." The real question that Ava should be asking is, will a bullet even do the trick if Rasputin managed to come back from everything else; especially if his return was supernatural? Seriously, how is Nate and the camera crew not dead? Also, why the fuck aren't the camera crew disguised and concealing their method of recording? This shit is why I didn't want to watch this fucking episode. I didn't know exactly what was coming, but I'm not surprised... How the fuck is Nate in Ava's shot, when he's easily 4'-5' away from Rasputin and she's even further back and like 15' up above them? I have a hard time believing she doesn't have a clear line of sight. Come on Ava, would it really be so bad to fire, even if Ray and Nate were in between you and the target? History is on the line after all..... Wait, what did happen to Ray? How did she fire while he was still in the barrel only for his to still be in the barrel....? God damn this series... Ray: "Nate, I'm coming for you buddy!"

How can a fucking sentient time machine AI not be able to process two conflicting timelines? Wouldn't that be, I don't know, a design flaw? Particularly considering that it was designed to travel through time and correct these sort of problems and has been used by the fucking "legends" for years? They've broken time so much worse than this before. In season 1 they started getting erased from history. Are we sure the writers haven't gotten into whats-his-name's stash? They left the director behind.... 🤦‍��️ It's convenient that Not-Zari, while being mind controlled by Rasputin, doesn't have the level of self-awareness to use his powers against Sara; she'd probably be pretty fucked against a guy who can control the air. Wait, they went to the trouble of having Mick shove a camera out of the way and the lens of the camera; then cut to a camera that isn't shattered - how many cameras are on the scene exactly? Seems like they left more than just the director behind. I mean, why not just use that infinite shrinking thing they used on the Anti-Monitor on Rasputin? Even if he can't die, he's got to be less powerful than the fucking Anti-Monitor. You probably don't even need him to be perpetually shrinking, just shrink him to a size where he can't effect anything anymore; he'd be essentially dead at that point. Or, you know, blow him up from the inside out.... God, Sara and Ava are fucking boring. You know, I know they had Jim Carey's character in The Truman Show do the whole thing of reconstructing the face of a woman using cut-outs from a magazine, but when Nate does it it's creepy as fuck. Although to be honest, in hindsight, it was kind of weird and creepy when Truman did it too.... How exactly does this documentary or screening it to an audience who gives them a standing ovation address any of the very legitimate concerns congress had about the time ship Lolipop and its crew? I mean....how does an audience that large go into a screening of a movie, a purported documentary about fucking time travel and sit through it with such absolute certainty that it's all real that they all lose their collective shit like this when the so-called stars tell them it's not? Don't get me wrong, the premise of them taking the piss out of some of the things, like Rasputin speaking English, was kind of funny; up to Mona talking about the effects looking bad, because then it just seemed obvious they were trying to pick it apart and discredit it. The whole thing would have made a lot more sense had they played it straight, like they were really just actors in this sci-fi time travel mockumentary; and they wouldn't just start ripping on it during a Q&A panel. How does this affect Hayeworld though and the positive impact it had on demon/human relationship and whatever other bullshit they said it did? If they're not walking back the idea that this lot travels through time, doesn't also undermine all the other wild things they claimed as fact recently? Oh, and now Ava says that Hayworld was fake - so fuck that change to history, apparently, right? All that good will, etc., down the drain? Yet again, how does a team aboard a self-suficient, advanced time machine that has the resources the provide anything the crew needs or wants, have money problems??
