It was never an "accident..."

I feel that what people fail to understand is that the way the certain characters are written in Hazbin or Helluva in a sexist or transphobia direction is a choice Vivziepop herself made, especially since it's so frequent and she hired someone who is clearly a bigoted person.

It's not an "accident" when you're transphobic on multiple occasions and even erase your own trans characters like this behind someone's back:

Hell! Charlie getting the least focus compared to Angel and constantly being fetishized for being a woman is a choice.

Charlie doesnt even get a birthday, only Angel does, and all that she gets is either fetish art or pinups with the occasional gif for ship bait or that one preview poster she had. But in the past years, that's it!

But you know who gets a anniversary/birthday, twice, and even an entire music video, and a comic, while Charlie's comic outright got cancelled mid production and is now lost content?

(Not joking. There used to be a Charlie Comic in production, but it was cancelled with explanation and all the material for it is now lost to time and will never be public because of the un-professional behavior Vivziepop had towards the comic production, it's so lost in fact, that there is very little evidence of it's existence online and you have to know that Faust exists in order to know that it exists at all, the information is that rare that you can use a simple "charlie comic" search for it anymore. The comic is now entirely lost as what was finished will never be made available to the public outside of a few production streams back when Faust was around.)

ANGEL DUST.

You know who's the main focus of the pilot's thumbnail?

ALASTOR.

You know who's sexualized the most while simainatainously not getting an actual chance to shine despite being the main character of the entire franchise, while every other female character, even in Helluva Boss, is treated the same way, meaninging that this is a "this is how I treat girl characters!" situation and not a "what show has the gender that's the most focused on when even the pilot of the "female focused show" is about Angel Dust and Alastor?

CHARLIE.

Even the ship merch is fetishized, when there's literally no reason for it to be?! Valentine's day doesnt have to be sexual, and this was just being used as yet another excuse to fetishize women again, while the only male characters here are one's that are the most feminine presenting as possible, so it's just fetishizing feminity as a whole, in EVERY SINGLE PIECE OF MERCH that is "pinup!"

The only exception being Ozzie, 99% likely as a failed attempt as a "GOTCHA!" moment, when Vivziepop literally called musclar men "DISGUSTING!" in one of her past streams.

Hell, at least Ozzie has an excuse here since he gets actual screen time. While the women are ignored, and to make it worse, are constantly sexualized in the most "90's" way possible.

This isnt even about the fictional character, it's about the depiction of something, or someone, from the writer and how that contributes to representation. That's it, it's really that simple! Especially when they erased a trans character just because "OOP! We've run out of room for trans characters, sorry! 😈" like- what?! It's so fucking degrading, the way the show presents women is so degrading and it's clearly obvious the moment you watch and episode and the moment you see the merchandisng that 90% of it is either yaoi fuel, the women being shoved in with the guys or next to them, and if the girls are the main focus.... they're fetishized for being lesbians or sexualized constantly just because they're women! Which makes all of this a CHOICE! A choice, that Vivienne continues to make, that's hurting people's representation, specifically for financial gain off of creeps who like to fetishize the hell out of people who are either trans women or cis women, as if women havent been constantly fetishized in media as it is since the 30s! The fetishization is a CHOICE!

The merch runs featuring mostly women always being sexualized to make you mostly focus on their bodies is a choice! It's a choice!

Oh yeah, and Angel Dust is constantly being fetishized for his boob fluff, which though subtle, is definitely coding for trans fetishization as well. Which is why im actually grateful that the design A24 appealed has a non-emphsized chest, just because it's was used to fetishize the concept of a man with boobs in a ton of merch back when he had his original design. To concerning extents.

Even with Alastor, he's legit WHITE in the merchandising, he's even lighter here than he is in canon. This is literal whitewashing.

So in a big nutshell about what kind of person Vivziepop actually is:

Vivienne whitewashes her OWN poc characters, in the merch, fetishizes trans women, uses Angel Dust to fetishize the concept of a man having breasts, which is trans fetishization, supported a terf and lied about it, uses her only slightly plus sized character to body shame plus size people (a writer using their script to sugarcoat or encourage bigotry), mistreats her own studio by rushing her workers despite claiming that she "cares" about indie animations, has EVERY SINGLE POC character in her shows that are designed by her have light grey skin and straight hair, hired a man who had her character say the word "RETAR^D!" as a "joke!", not even having the tone show this as a "bad!" thing but as somehow "cute!" (ew...), supports proshippers, and even supports some much worse people as I am going to discuss in my Brandon Rodgers commentary.

Paul mccartney hulu documentary

#Paul mccartney hulu documentary series#

“McCartney 3,2,1” premieres July 16 on Hulu. Relatively small in scale, “McCartney 3,2,1” might not top that list, but for anyone who knows that it was Lennon who added “It can’t get no worse” to McCartney’s more upbeat lyrics on “Getting Better,” as times for musical nostalgia go, it doesn’t get much better than this. This has become a boom time for music documentaries, including the aforementioned Beatles project to come, Hulu’s recent “Summer of Soul” and Apple TV+’s “1971: The Year That Music Changed Everything.” “We all knew we had the freedom to goof around,” McCartney recalls, discussing the “great camaraderie” of musicians at the time, and issues like his reluctance to include Beatles songs in his stage shows, at first, after becoming a solo artist. Obviously, there’s not much place for modesty in this sort of exercise, and “McCartney 3,2,1” feels a bit arbitrary in the way that it dices up the episodes, strategically drawing from old rehearsal and performance footage to augment the artist’s recollections. Now 79, McCartney also exhibits an infectious sense of engagement listening to the work, grooving to one of his own early ballads before musing, “Pretty little song, he said modestly.” The whole exercise works in part because it’s structured less as an interview than a conversation, at times breaking down the music to its fundamental building blocks, like isolating the strings on “Yesterday” – and how producer George Martin slyly overcame McCartney’s resistance to including them. Pepper”) and the musicians that he got to see and know, from Roy Orbison to Jimi Hendrix, after the band made their triumphant arrival in the US.

#Paul mccartney hulu documentary series#

The six-episode music series event features intimate and revealing examinations of musical history from two living legends, Paul McCartney and super producer Rick Rubin, and hails from Endeavor Content. Still, the clarity of McCartney’s memories and the enduring power of the music makes this a treat for any Beatles aficionado, as McCartney holds forth on how he and John Lennon complemented each other, the band’s competition with the Beach Boys (an inspiration for the more experimental aspects of “Sgt. May 17, 2021, 10:32 pm Today, Hulu announced the Original documentary series McCartney 3,2,1. It would be hard to find a more no-frills production than this six-part docuseries, which largely consists of McCartney and music producer Rick Rubin (both producers on the project) sitting together and going through various songs, performing almost forensic analysis on how they were put together. Playing on Hulu, “McCartney 3,2,1” will soon have company from Peter Jackson’s Disney+ project, but like the man used to say, live and let live. The series will also be directed by Emmy Award-winning Zachary Heinzerling ( Cutie and the Boxer).“Senior citizen reminisces about music” – in black and white, no less – doesn’t sound like a classic elevator pitch, until you see that guy is Paul McCartney, leading a magical tour down memory lane for the Beatles, their influences and a whole lot else. McCartney and Rubin will also produce the series alongside Scott Rodger, Peter Berg, Matthew Goldberg, Brandon Carroll, Jeff Pollack, Frank Marshall and Ryan Suffern. It is an honor that Paul chose to return to Hulu to share this one-of-a-kind series,” said Craig Erwich, president, Hulu Originals and ABC Entertainment. The series is executive produced by McCartney, Rubin, Scott Rodger. To be an observer as Paul and Rick Rubin deconstruct how some of the biggest hits in music history came to be is truly enlightening. Today, Hulu announced the Original documentary series McCartney 3,2,1. “Never before have fans had the opportunity to hear Paul McCartney share, in such expansive, celebratory detail, the experience of creating his life’s work – more than 50 years of culture-defining music. 1 on the US Billboard Top Album Sales chart upon release in December 2020. His most recent album, McCartney III, was No. McCartney has had an impressive career that has spanned six decades which includes winning 18 Grammy awards and he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 1997 for his services to music. The one-on-one conversation will cover songwriting, influences and personal relationships that influenced the iconic songs. In the series, both McCartney and Rubin will sit down to discuss his history as a Beatle, his work with the 1970’s rock band Wings, and the singer’s solo career. The six-part series will focus on the former Beatles’ musical history. Hulu has announced a new documentary series featuring Paul McCartney and producer Rick Rubin titled “McCartney 3,2,1 ” which is coming to the streaming service on July 16. The six-part Hulu docuseries 'McCartney 3, 2, 1' features former Beatle Paul McCartney breaking down his work with Rick Rubin.

It was a good week to test your view of New York — the 1990s Bohemia  presented in Rent Live on Fox (which was largely Rent Recorded), or the grittier view expressed by the city’s teenagers in “Generation NYZ,” part of Ping Chong’s Undesirable Elements series at LaMaMa?  How about by the African-American playwrights of the Fire this Time Festival? The truth is, in some ways, all of these share the sardonic and romantic view of the city by Rodgers and Hart in the 1920s, as presented by Santino Fontana as part of the Lyrics and Lyricists series at the 92nd Street Y? (It’s very fancy on old Delancey Street, you know/The subway charms us so.)

  Week in New York Theater Reviews and Previews

Generation NYZ

To the seven young performers who tell the stories of their lives in “Generation NYZ,” New York means subways and pizza and opportunity, but also cops and catcalling and homelessness.

They are all New Yorkers, but — as they recount for us over the course of 70 increasingly engaging minutes — either they or their parents or grandparents came from somewhere else. They tell, in other words, the story of New York, and of America.

Rent Live

I had worried that, in Rent Live,  Fox television would ruin Jonathan Larson’s musical about bohemian life in the East Village of the 1980s by bowdlerizing it. I felt it worth watching anyway because its cast of celebrated young screen stars and recording artists would make the most of the catchy tunes.

As it turns out, it wasn’t the redacted content but rather a bad break and a series of poor choices that made “Rent” disappointing. And though the cast was clearly full of talent, only a few standouts brought it home in any memorable way. Brandon Victor Dixon, the one performer with the most live theater experience, floored us as Tom Collins,

We’ll Have Manhattan: Rodgers and Hart in New York

When at the age of 17 composer Richard Rodgers met 24-year-old lyricist Lorenz Hart in 1919, he instantly acquired “a career, a partner, a best friend and a source of permanent irritation.”

So Rodgers wrote, in one of the many tidbits Santino Fontana tells us in “We’ll Have Manhattan: Rodgers and Hart in New York,” Fontana’s celebration, as part of the 92ndStreet Y’s Lyrics & Lyricists series, of the hundredth anniversary of Rodgers and Hart’s partnership

    God Said This

Leah Nanako Winkler was sitting on the couch in her mother’s hospital room in Kentucky while her mother was undergoing chemotherapy for a form of cancer called carcinosarcoma, when the playwright started writing what became God Said This. “It just came out.”

The play, now on stage at the Cherry Lane Theater through February 15, revolves around Masako, a Japanese-born mother who is undergoing chemotherapy for carcinosarcoma, and explores the effect of her illness on her family.

The Fire This Time Festival

Over the past decade, the annual festival, created to showcase early-career playwrights of African and African-American descent, has presented some of the first New York plays of such now-celebrated writers as Katori Hall (known for such later works as The Mountaintop and Our Lady of Kibeho), Dominique Morisseau (Pipeline, Skeleton Crew  and the book for the forthcoming Broadway musical “Ain’t Too Proud”), and Jocelyn Bioh (School Girls or the African Mean Girls Play) .

This year’s offerings are not particularly political, although they do touch (often obliquely) on issues as varied as gentrification, immigration, protest, feminism, homophobia, and affirmative action.

Ruthie Ann Miles as Immigration Judge Craig Zerbe

The Courtroom

Elizabeth Keathley moved to the United State from the Philippines, married an American, and three years later registered to vote, even though she was not yet a citizen. As a result, the government ordered her deported.

“The Courtroom”is a re-enactment by Waterwell theater company of her deportation proceedings,  using the transcript as edited by Arian Moayed, directed by Waterwell’s artistic director Lee Sunday Evans, with Ruthie Ann Miles as Immigration Judge Craig Zerbe, and Kathleen Chalfant as Chief Judge Frank H. Easterbrook for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. The play is being presented for free through February 1 in a series of court-like settings

Red State Blue State

Near the end of Colin Quinn’s stand-up comedy, which promises to “lay bare the absurdities…on both sides of the political divide,” the Saturday Night Live alumnus manages to insult every single state of the union…It’s a baffling routine, almost tedious and even tacky…emblematic of Quinn’s enterprise….hit or miss and a missed opportunity.

What Should We Do About Scandalous Artists? Accusations of misconduct against beloved creators are changing the way we think about genius

today as in the past, one of the most visible ways that our culture negotiates changing ideas about morality is by thinking about art and artists. Is an artist’s work tainted by his personal wrongdoing? Should we give honor and respect to people who excel in their art but are deficient in what we consider ordinary morality? These questions have been at the heart of modern thinking about art since the 19th century; but since the advent of the #MeToo movement, they have begun to receive new kinds of answers.

if Oscar Wilde’s case were being tried today, he might once again be widely scorned—not because the prostitutes he patronized were male, but because they were young, poor and powerless. The hostile gossip that surrounded him at the time, English critic Kate Hext writes, “would be nothing compared to the long lenses and comments section of Daily Mail Online, or the verdicts of social media.”

'Resignation rumor' Solskjaer's successor has been decided?... Rogers, Manchester United 'positive'

토토 사이트, 카지노 사이트, 파워볼 사이트, 온라인 카지노, 토토먹튀,파워볼먹튀,카지노먹튀 

 Manager Brandon Rogers is positive about a move to Manchester United.

British '90min' reported on the 18th (Korean time), "If Ole Gunnar Solskjaer leaves Manchester United, it is more likely that Rogers will take over than former Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) manager Mauricio Pochettino. With the change of manager in progress, Rogers is known to be positive for Manchester United."

Manchester United are in crisis. This summer, the Manchester United board fully supported Solskjaer, who finished second in the English Premier League (EPL) and runner-up in the UEFA Europa League (UEL) last season. When the squad was properly strengthened by signing Cristiano Ronaldo, Jaden Sancho and Rafael Varane, manager Solskjaer's expectations for Manchester United were very high.

However, both the content and results of the game were the worst. The Solskjaer, who had escaped the crisis dramatically with Ronaldo's theater goal, recently sank after losing to 'rivals' Liverpool and Manchester City in a row in a row. When there was no room for improvement, public opinion was gathered for a sacking. Local media have reported that the Manchester United board still trusts Solskjaer, but it seems that they are considering a change of manager now.

Rodgers, along with Zidane and Pochettino, are on the list. Rogers began his professional managerial career at Watford, where he took Swansea City to full swing and brought him to the spotlight. Based on that, he was brought to Liverpool where he almost led the team to a league title, but slipped at the last minute and failed to lift the title. He was sacked after poor performances at Liverpool, but was revived by winning numerous trophies at his next destination, Celtic.

Rogers, who was also aiming for a comeback in the English Premier League (EPL), was appointed to Leicester during the 2018-19 season. He raised Leicester, who had suffered ups and downs, to the top spot, and in the 2019-20 season, completely transformed it into a goblin team that threatened the fourth place. His performance last season was also excellent. A shaky part was pointed out at the end, but the overall evaluation was close to a passing score. This season has been disappointing with a starting line injury, but the ratings for Rogers are still good.

'90min' said, "Rogers is very interested in Manchester United. Manchester United know that the fans will backlash because he has managed Liverpool, but they want Rogers. "If Rogers comes, the timing of his appointment is key. The Manchester United board is very concerned about whether to give Solskjaer a chance for the first season or let him go now and bring him in."

-and before people say:

"WHAT IF THIS WAS AN ANIMATION ERROR?!"

Just know, that they would have to draw the horns- LINE BY LINE!

Even the eyelashes (the feminine aspect) was taken away.

All of the feminine or female (the horns) parts were taken away and they made the character entirely cis passing, and in order for the episode to come out- Vivziepop would have had to examine almost every shot to make sure things went smoothly.

Even other comments just outright said "DID SHE KEEP HER DICK- OR NAH?!" Like- it's so creepy?!

I get being attracted to a trans girl, but when it comes to the point where she's constantly sexualized by the staff and fans alike. -and the fact that Vivziepop supported a transphobe willingly but then lied about it in her apology, even after mentioning the tweets that she apparently "didnt" see, but did, as shown here:

When she did- she DID see the tweets that she's pretending that she didnt see, and just to make it worse- she defended the tweets and called transphobia a "IMPORTANT POLITICAL DISCUSSION!" and "not" something that shouldnt exist in the first place-

Which is TRANSPHOBIA!

-and racism! Something Vivziepop was very much familiar with at the time, but excused anyway behind the scenes by saying that stereotypes (including black ones!) were just "hyperbole!" and "not" something that could legitamately cause someone harm.

-and these comments are far from outdated, since she hired Brandon Rodgers, a influencer who thrives off of anti black and fatphobic content. Each of his videos, either mentioning how "GROSS" someone is for being plus sized, or some black stereotype of some kind EVERY SINGLE time he has a black actress in the video.

The women in his videos that arent played by him arent even given any actual roles most of the time- they're just objectifed are used to represent women in the most degrading ways possible!

Look at the difference: Look at the fucking difference.

So clearly, Vivziepop very much is still ok with stereotypes when she hires people, for her "progressive brownie points!" show that also thrive off of anti blackness and fatphobic stereotypes!

IT'S AWFUL!

49ers depth chart: Jordan Reed active for today’s game against Green Bay Packers SANTA CLARA — Chaos swept through the 49ers (4-4) this week with the combination of more injuries and COVID-19 precautions. Today’s 5:20 p.m. game against the Green Bay Packers (5-2) is still on, however.The 49ers received no positive tests today, per a league source. However, because Kendrick Bourne tested positive Wednesday, he and three high-risk contacts (Brandon Aiyuk, Deebo Samuel, Trent Williams) remain out this game, per NFL and NFL Players Association protocol.Tight end Jordan Reed has been activated off Injured Reserve, and six players were elevated from the practice squad, including running back Austin Walter and wide receivers Kevin White and River Cracraft.Who’s left to play? Let us help paint the picture (and we’ll supply jersey numbers that may be unfamiliar to many, with starters with a mostly befitting asterisk):OFFENSEQUARTERBACK*Nick Mullens (4), C.J. Beathard (3)Jimmy Garoppolo is out indefinitely after a worse high ankle sprain last game that was worse than his Week 2 wreck. This is Mullens’ third start this season, and it comes two years after his starting debut in a Thursday night rout of the Raiders.RUNNING BACK*Jerick McKinnon (28), JaMycal Hasty (38), Austin Walter (48), FB Kyle Juszczyk (44)McKinnon might receive a ceremonial-type start based on his experience, but he’ll likely be used more as a third-down back. This is more likely Hasty’s time to shine, or at least rebound from last game, when he had a career-low 2.4 yards per carry (12 attempts, 29 yards) after preceding games in which he ran for 37 yards and 57 yards on nine carries in each. Austin Walter got activated today from the practice squad for his 49ers debut.Tevin Coleman aggravated his knee sprain Sunday so he’s out. Raheem Mostert, the Packers’ foil in the NFC title game, is eligible to come off injured reserve next week if his ankle injury allows; Jeff Wilson (ankle) is on IR through the Nov. 15 game at New Orleans.WIDE RECEIVER*Trent Taylor (15), *Richie James Jr. (13), Kevin White (14), River Cracraft (86)The 49ers will miss their top three wide receivers because of Kendrick Bourne’s positive COVID-19 test Tuesday, with Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel deemed high-risk contacts and put on the NFL’s COVID-19 reserve list with him. Samuel’s hamstring injury already ruled him out a second straight game. With Dante Pettis waived Monday, the 49ers procured reinforcements from their practice squad.TIGHT END*Jordan Reed (81), *Ross Dwelley (82), Charlie Woerner (89), Daniel Helm (88)Jordan Reed came off injured reserve today and will play for the first time since a Week 3 knee sprain. That comeback is perfectly timed to help offset the loss of George Kittle to a possible season-ending foot fracture; former NFL team doctor David Chao said Kittle’s cuboid bone could heal without surgery and have him available next month if the 49ers are in playoff contention. Dwelley could surpass his season totals (six catches, 71 yards, one touchdown) tonight. Woerner has not been targeted his rookie year as he’s been primarily a blocker. Helm got promoted from the practiceOFFENSIVE LINE*LT Justin Skule (67), *LG Laken Tomlinson (75), *C Hroniss Grasu (50), *RG Daniel Brunskill (60), *RT Mike McGlinchey (69), Colton McKivitz (68), Tom Compton (66), Tony Bergstrom (TBA)Justin Skule, an eight-game starter as a rookie, returns to the lineup to replace Williams, who misses his first start as a 49er because of COVID-19 protocol as a close contact to Bourne. Compton and McKivitz are on deck if anyone gets hurt.DEFENSIVE LINE*Arik Armstead (91), *D.J. Jones (93), *Javon Kinlaw (99), *Kerry Hyder (92), Dion Jordan (96), Jordan Willis (78), Kevin Givens (90), Kentavius Street (95)This unit probably could use Nick Bosa, Dee Ford, Ziggy Ansah and Solomon Thomas to rattle Aaron Rodgers. The 49ers’ pass rush is not getting sacks but ample pressure helped down the Rams’ Jared Goff and the Patriots’ Cam Newton. Rodgers falls more into the MVP-caliber range with Russell Wilson, who threw four TD passes Sunday on the 49ers.LINEBACKER*Fred Warner (54), *Dre Greenlaw (57), *Azeez Al-Shaair (51), Joe Walker (59)This unit must overcome the emotional exit of “Hot Boyzz” ringleader Kwon Alexander (traded Tuesday to New Orleans).  Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles is out with a hamstring injury.CORNERBACK*Jason Verrett (22), *Emmanuel Moseley (41), K’Waun Williams (24), Ahkello Witherspoon (23), Dontae Johnson (27), Jamar Taylor (47), Ken Webster (40)Verrett and Moseley must not let Davante Adams excel the way the Arizona Cardinals’ DeAndre Hopkins and the Seattle Seahawks’ D.K. Metcalf did. Richard Sherman will apparently stay on Injured Reserve through the Week 11 bye.SAFETIES*Jimmie Ward (20), *Marcell Harris (36), Tarvarius Moore (33), Jaquiski Tartt (29; injured), Johnathan Cyprien (32)Tartt is questionable to return from a groin injury, so Harris again is slotted in his place, even though the 49ers should consider pairing Ward with Moore, the latter of whom had no defensive snaps Sunday.สล็อตออนไลน์

Hamilton Goes to High School (EducationNext):

[. . .] Miranda knew how empowering it feels for a young person to create his own artistic project; indeed, that’s how he got his start in musical theater. He wrote three original songs when he was in 8th grade to help teach classmates the content of The Chosen, a novel by Chaim Potok set in 1940s Brooklyn. “My first musical I ever wrote was a class assignment,” Miranda revealed to Arrive magazine.

Hamilton producer Jeffrey Seller himself has a history of bringing Broadway to high school students. He created an educational program for the 1990s musical Rent, his first theatrical success.

And Gilder Lehrman has a long track record of developing history programs that benefit schools. Indeed, two-thirds of the students who take AP U.S. History visit the institute’s web site, and its total traffic jumped to 10 million visitors last year, up from fewer than 2 million two years ago. So when Seller and Miranda’s father, Luis Miranda Jr., visited Gilder Lehrman’s 45th Street office last summer, the institute’s director of education, Tim Bailey, showed them a recent curriculum program he had written called Vietnam in Verse. The lesson plan used poetry and music from the 1960s and ’70s to address the issues of that era. Seller was impressed: “You’re in,” he told Bailey. A partnership was born.

Working through the finances to create the education program was a complicated task. The first hurdle was to get the production to discount all seats for the student matinees. About 1,100 of the Richard Rodgers Theatre’s 1,321 seats cost between $179 and $199 apiece for a performance of Hamilton. The 200 or so center-orchestra seats fetch $849, by far the highest ticket price on Broadway. The play, which nets close to $2 million per week, is sold out until November 2017. The play’s principals agreed to sell the tickets for student matinees for $70, essentially the breakeven price point.

In October 2015, the Rockefeller Foundation put up $1.5 million to pay for Gilder Lehrman to create the curriculum and to subsidize $60 of each student ticket. Students pay the remaining $10 (a “Hamilton”) for each ticket, so they’re invested (except in San Francisco, where students attended for free because of a strict state law that prohibits them from paying for any educational experiences).

“Works like this don’t come around very often, and when they do we must make every effort to maximize their reach,” says Judith Rodin, former president of the Rockefeller Foundation. “Here’s a story that talks about American history and the ideals of American democracy . . . in a vernacular that speaks to young people, written by a product of New York public education,” Rodin told the New York Times. “Could there possibly be a better combination in terms of speaking to students?”

In June 2016 the foundation upped its commitment to $6 million to fund year two of EduHam in New York City and extend it to Chicago and the touring company.

[. . .]

The Curriculum

When Gilder Lehrman’s Tim Bailey started working on the Hamilton Project in late 2015, he knew he wanted to have students deal directly with primary sources. Gilder Lehrman owns 60,000 documents from American history, and Bailey recognized the value of reading and responding to these original materials. Secondary sources that merely summarize such documents and the events behind them tend to simplify the subject and rob students of the opportunity to analyze and interpret them for themselves. And the Common Core State Standards call for increased use of primary documents. But Bailey knew that asking students to read documents written more than 200 years ago could prompt lots of eye rolling.

Gilder Lehrman’s Basker puts it more succinctly: teaching the founding of the country can be the “castor oil of education,” he quips.

Bailey says that to capture kids’ interest in primary materials, “We have to teach the students the skills to unlock those sources. We provide enough structure so that students won’t freak out.”

[. . .]

Multimedia Materials

While Bailey worked on the classroom materials, colleagues set up a private Web portal where students could see excerpts from five songs performed during the show. The play’s creators insisted on limiting how much of the piece they would expose, for fear of diluting the play’s potential earnings on tour. Still, says Bailey, “We have amazing access to the show. It’s unprecedented.”

On the web site, students can view nine video interviews created exclusively for them. The videos feature Miranda explaining how Hamilton was different from other Founding Fathers, Chernow discussing the artistic license used in nonfiction writing, and actors reading from original documents of the period.

In one video, Miranda holds an actual love letter from Hamilton to his future wife Eliza and reads: “You not only employ my mind all day; but you intrude upon my sleep. I meet you in every dream and when I wake, I cannot close my eyes again for ruminating on your sweetness.” He looks up and tells students, “This puts whatever R&B song you’re listening to right now to shame.”

The web site also features information on 30 different historical figures, ranging from Martha Washington to Hercules Mulligan, the tailor who used his access to British troops to spy for the patriots. The site highlights 14 key events from the era, as well as 20-plus documents, including The Federalist Papers and Thomas Paine’s Common Sense.

While EduHam’s materials are robust, the program requires only two to three class periods to complete, Bailey says. Most of the student work, such as the suggested three hours of rehearsal, takes place outside the classroom. The program includes an 11-page teacher guide that discusses objectives, procedures, and the four Common Core standards the lessons align with. There is also a rubric to guide teachers in assessing student work.

Students are given wide latitude as to what, and how, they perform in EduHam. They can present a rap, song, poem, monologue, or scene. And while their performance must represent the Revolutionary War era, they can choose from key people, events, or documents, even if they aren’t in the play. During the November 2016 performances, one group of students compared the struggle between America and Britain to the Crips–Bloods gang battles in California. Students’ reactions were so enthusiastic it was hard to hear the end of the performance. One girl recited poetry about the African American poet Phillis Wheatley, who isn’t in the play, and another reworked the rapper Drake’s piece “5AM in Toronto” to depict the Boston Massacre.

[. . .]

Including Controversy

Of course, not all the drama around Hamilton has occurred onstage. At a performance in late November 2016, the cast addressed Vice President Elect Mike Pence, who was in the audience.

Actor Brandon Victor Dixon, who played Aaron Burr in that performance, told Pence: “We, sir, are the diverse America who are alarmed and anxious that your new administration will not protect us, our planet, our children, our parents, or defend us and uphold our inalienable rights. We truly hope that this show has inspired you to uphold our American values and to work on behalf of all of us.”

Miranda, who is prolific on Twitter, is not shy about trumpeting his political views, which lean decisively to the left.

When asked if this controversy would make schools less likely to use the play as a learning tool, Lawrence Paska says: “That’s going to depend on local school curriculum choices and planning. Some teachers and schools may use recent events as a way to highlight the intersection of history, art, and current events. Others may choose not to use works like Hamilton because they want to focus on historical events and not on recent activism.”

[. . .]

As Miranda tells students when they come to see the play, the big question is, “What kind of world do we want to create? It’s no less than that. What kind of world are you going to create when you grow up?”

Fantasy Football Headset 2020; What I'd Do (Cluckin Turducken)

[12 team league, 25 man rosters, 5 taxi spots, start 1QB, 2RB, 3WR, 1TE, 2Flex, 1DST, 1K]

I don't know that there's ever a perfect fantasy football team but this last stretch of teams area tier above the rest. In fact, for the last three teams in the team take over it's not unfamiliar territory for them as they've regularly been at the top of the league.

This team has regularly run its division in the five seasons the Dynasty League has been going BUT had a very tough adjustment to staying in contention. Trading a 1st round pick for Devonta Freeman hasn't worked out and David Johnson looked worthless in the off season so it was no surprise to see this team flip Le'Veon Bell to recoup a 1st round pick. However, this team has been one of the most aggressive so away went D.J. Chark and in came Melvin Gordon.

Aaron Jones led the RB room, hopefully Green Bay continues to let him be a fantasy stud, but the room got a boost from David Johnson seeming to find relevance again, Gordon and the big trade for the Leonard Fournette. Six 1st round picks have been traded in the weeks leading up to the start of the season, including two for Fournette. The Tampa backfield is a little messy but conventional wisdom is Fournette will be the guy. Cluckin Turducken has to hope those four make it through the season and are studs because behind them are Freeman, Cordarelle Patterson and rookies Lynn Bowden and A.J. Dillion.

At WR rookies Brandon Aiyuk and John Hightower were added to Davante Adams, Tyler Lockett, Marquise Brown and Jalen Hurd. Another position with a solid top end but there's definitely gotta be some finger crossing for health. Adams should be a target monster once again, and joins Jones and Aaron Rodgers in a trio stack. Counting on Hollywood Brown to be a regular weekly starter may be a year too soon, even as the top WR in Baltimore.

While he has started to come down a bit from the fantasy elite, Zach Ertz is still a stud at TE. This team also got the benefit of Dawson Knox become available and should warrant some flex play in the least through the season. C. J. Uzomah is  penciled in as the starter early for the Bengals but seems to be more of a blocker. Jordan Reed is for sure interesting, especially as some injury protection for Kittle, but probably rides the bench all season. Rookie Hunter Bryant is extremely talented but goes to a VERY loaded TE room in Cleveland.

Not having a 1st round pick isn't new to this team, but you can see how the lack of the top pick (and absolutely the bad luck) have taken it's toll on the depth. Missing the next two 1st round picks and a 3rd round pick for 2021 why stop there. The good news is this team has studs and really just needs some depth to give them a little more breathing room. I personally would hold back on getting rid of anymore 2022 picks but some depth at WR and RB to help you get through byes with 2021 picks is a no brainier.

This team has knocked on the championship door before and just fallen short. Without something massive I don't think 2020 is the championship year but this team should absolutely be in the playoffs. For the take over I think you wait and see who sells and see if you can add some depth but this has been one of the most aggressive teams in the league so I wouldn't be surprised to see one more big move.

2018 NFL Preview: Maybe the dull Ravens can get a jolt from Lamar Jackson

Yahoo Sports is previewing all 32 teams as we get ready for the NFL season, counting down the teams one per weekday in reverse order of our initial 2018 power rankings. No. 1 will be revealed on Aug. 1, the day before the Hall of Fame Game kicks off the preseason.

(Yahoo Sports graphics by Amber Matsumoto)

Winning always sells. No matter the sport or the market, it’s a universally accepted fact that you can overcome about anything – a bad stadium, a wretched history, a dreadfully boring style of play, whatever – just by winning.

The 2017 Baltimore Ravens were an exception.

A strange thing happened last season in Week 17, long before Andy Dalton and Tyler Boyd hooked up on a miracle fourth-down touchdown to knock the Ravens out of the playoffs. Fans didn’t show up, even with a playoff spot on the line for the home team. Coach John Harbaugh blamed the late start on New Year’s Eve days before the game kicked off. Some said it was because fans were upset the team kneeled during the national anthem once in London earlier in the season.

It wasn’t just Week 17. Empty seats in Baltimore was a theme through the season, even though the Ravens looked like they were going to the playoffs until the final seconds of the season. Fan apathy started to become a story in 2016 (long before the kneeling in London, which pokes holes in that theory).

“Am I disappointed in it? Yes, I’m disappointed in it. Concerned? Yes,” Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti said, according to the team’s transcripts. “If winning is what we need to do to fill the stadium up, then that’s part and parcel with why we’re here. We’re here to win games, we’re here to succeed, and when we fail, the no-shows are a way of telling us that our fans aren’t pleased. So, we’ve got to win. And I hope that solves the majority of the problems.”

But winning isn’t the only factor. Baltimore was in playoff contention all season. The truth is, the Ravens are a boring football team and have been for a couple years. Not bad. Just boring.

The Ravens offense has become dreadful to watch. They were last in the NFL in yards per pass last season. They had more than 400 yards in a game just once – a fun 39-38 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers – and never had a 300-yard passing game. They did, however, have eight games with less than 200 passing yards, and one with 52 passing yards. They had the fewest 20-yard pass plays in the NFL last season, with 29. They were better on offense in the second half, but it still wasn’t an offense that excited anyone.

What do you do when you’re a successful franchise – the Ravens have had only one losing season since 2007 – but the fans are tuning you out anyway? You go take the most exciting player in the NFL draft.

Picking Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson wasn’t the only change the Ravens made or considered, but it will be the one that defines the franchise in the upcoming years. Baltimore announced this is Ozzie Newsome’s last season as general manager, a plan that has been in the works for a while. Bisciotti didn’t deny he thought about replacing Harbaugh (“It was certainly a consideration, but not one that I was inclined to make this year,” he said). There’s a new defensive coordinator, out of necessity after Dean Pees “retired” only to resurface with the Titans shortly after. Baltimore has three new receivers and two new rookie tight ends. And, of course, a new quarterback controversy.

Joe Flacco hasn’t been dealt a great hand lately. The Ravens haven’t put much talent around him. A back injury he suffered last July might be a reason he didn’t play well last season. But here’s what matters now: It has been a long time since Flacco had a good season, he’s 33 years old with a terrible contract, and he’ll soon be the Ravens’ former quarterback. The clock starts when a team drafts a quarterback in the first round. Ask Alex Smith how that goes.

It’s possible Flacco holds off Jackson all this season. The Ravens added receivers Michael Crabtree, John Brown and Willie Snead in free agency. They drafted tight ends Hayden Hurst and Mark Andrews. That will help Flacco. Also, the Ravens probably will be in playoff contention again, and teams rarely change quarterbacks when that’s the case. But the change is coming. It’s just a matter of when.

I think Jackson has the ability to be this year’s Deshaun Watson, a player who has an instant impact and we laugh at the teams that passed on him. There are plenty of teams who will be looking for a quarterback soon but ignored Jackson anyway. Other than Mike Vick, Jackson might be the most dynamic rushing quarterback we’ve seen in college. He’s a far better pocket passer than many critics gave him credit for. Ravens players raved about him in offseason practices. If he’s in the right offense – and the Ravens have assistants who have positive experience with mobile quarterbacks – I think Jackson will be a star. I loved the pick for the Ravens and think it will change their franchise. Even if it makes things uncomfortable in the present.

Even with an inevitable quarterback controversy and incorporating a lot of new faces on offense, we know what to expect out of the Ravens. They won’t be fun to watch, but they’ll contend. They always do.

The question is, will the people of Baltimore come out and watch this time around?

Before breaking down the moves, a quick rant about the Ryan Grant situation. The Ravens agreed to a $29 million deal with Grant, a former Washington Redskins receiver. It was an enormous contract for someone with Grant’s resume. Before Grant’s deal with Baltimore became official, the Raiders cut Michael Crabtree. The Ravens seemed to have some buyer’s remorse, because they said Grant failed his physical even though he has never missed a game in four NFL seasons. Then — surprise, surprise — the Ravens signed Crabtree. Grant settled for a one-year, $5 million deal with the Colts. While the Ravens stick by their story that is was a medical decision out of their control, it’s easy to be skeptical. And if the Ravens decided to fail Grant on his physical because something better came along, they deserve every bit of bad karma coming to them.

All that out of the way, the Ravens made some necessary moves to improve their passing offense. Crabtree is a solid addition, John Brown has been a good deep threat when he’s healthy and is worth a shot, and Willie Snead was productive with the New Orleans Saints before falling out of favor. Between first-round pick Hayden Hurst and third-round pick Mark Andrews, the Ravens might finally have an answer at tight end. And as stated previously, I believe Lamar Jackson at No. 32 overall will end up being a pick we all remember.

GRADE: B

The Ravens have a heck of a secondary. They allowed a 72.4 passer rating last season. Assuming cornerback Jimmy Smith has a smooth recovery from Achilles surgery, it should be a great group again. Between Smith, Brandon Carr and 2017 first-round pick Marlon Humphrey, the Ravens have great cornerback depth. And Tony Jefferson and Eric Weddle form one of the NFL’s best safety duos.

I wonder if the way last season ended causes a hangover. In the final minute of the season finale, Bengals receiver Tyler Boyd somehow got free on fourth and 12 for a 49-yard touchdown. The Bengals won and the Bills took the Ravens’ playoff spot. You don’t shake that off in a day or two.

“We get into a fourth-and-12 situation, we get into a coverage that we think has a chance,” John Harbaugh said after the season. “We do not play it exceptionally well. It is a little bit of a safer coverage. It is a coverage built for that down and distance, and (Andy Dalton) moves around the pocket a little bit and drops one in there, and your heart is broken. That is football. Nobody writes a script. You do not get a chance to decide how the script is going to be written. That is all you can do. That is the human reality of the whole thing.”

It’s a loss that will sting for years. The Ravens won five of six late in the season, were a huge favorite to beat the Bengals, and had to assume until that fourth-and-12 they were going to the playoffs. Then, poof, their season was over. Harbaugh is a good coach and I figure he’ll lead his veteran team through this, but that’s one tough way to end a season.

This stat is a staple in these previews: Since 2006, the year after Aaron Rodgers was picked by the Green Bay Packers, Jake Locker and Brady Quinn are the only two first-round quarterbacks to not start at least one game as a rookie. Of the past 29 first-round quarterbacks, 27 got at least one rookie start. That tells us the chances of Lamar Jackson sitting all season are probably slim. The holdup might be that the Ravens’ offense will have to change dramatically when the change is made. The offense Joe Flacco runs might not have much in common with what the Ravens use with Jackson. It wouldn’t be easy to change, then go back to Flacco if Jackson struggles. No matter, recent history tells us it’s probably a good bet we see Jackson start at least once this season.

For what seems like the 20th straight season, Terrell Suggs led the Ravens in sacks. And continuing another streak, I’ll wonder in the Ravens preview how long Suggs can keep this going. He’s a great player, a future Hall of Famer, but it’s not like there’s a great history of 36-year-old pass rushers (Suggs will turn 36 on Oct. 11). At least the Ravens have emerging rusher Matt Judon, who had eight sacks last season, but no other Raven had more than three-and-a-half sacks. There is a lot of promise at the position, but they need more production. They need a Za’Darius Smith (who had a lot of quarterback hits, just not many sacks) or 2017 second-round pick Tyus Bowser to take the next step, because Suggs won’t be this good forever … I think.

From Yahoo’s Liz Loza: “Keep an eye on Willie Snead. Sure, his 2017 campaign underwhelmed, but a lot of that had to do with a three-game suspension and a nagging hamstring injury. The year prior, he posted a 72-895-4 stat line, demonstrating sticky mitts (catch rate of 69.2 percent) and dominating after the catch (373 yards). Given the Ravens’ lack of pass-catching weapons, the former Saint figures to get fed. He’s not a prime red-zone target, but he could easily see 95 targets on the season and have value in PPR-friendly formats.”

We talked about fumble luck in the Titans preview. Many analysts believe strongly in fumble luck, good or bad, being a key indicator of regression. The Ravens might have reason to worry then. Baltimore had the best fumble luck in the NFL last season, recovering 65.9 percent of fumbles according to Team Rankings. That helped fuel a plus-17 turnover margin. If that doesn’t repeat, the Ravens will have to improve in other areas to be in the playoff hunt again.

IS ALEX COLLINS THE REAL DEAL?

Collins is a good example of why teams should think twice before investing a lot into the running back position. Collins was a fifth-round pick of the Seahawks in 2016. He got 31 carries as a rookie, was cut before last season and got signed to the Ravens’ practice squad. Then Collins, who couldn’t find a spot on anyone’s 53-man roster to start the season, finished the season as one of the more efficient backs in the league.

The Ravens signed Collins from the practice squad early in the season, and he ended up with 973 rushing yards and six touchdowns. He averaged 4.6 yards per carry and brought a much-needed spark to the Ravens offense. He had the eighth highest success rate among all NFL backs last season, according to Football Outsiders. While the Ravens get Kenneth Dixon back from a torn meniscus that wiped out his 2017 season, and Javorius Allen is still around too, Collins should be the clear lead back. There’s no reason to believe Collins can’t repeat, or even improve upon, his breakout season.

The Ravens were very good last season on defense and special teams (kicker Justin Tucker is simply amazing), and that should carry over. The offense also improved late, even if few people noticed. There were some important upgrades on offense this offseason. While I’m not sure a team with Michael Crabtree as a clear No. 1 receiver is in a great spot, the offense should be better. If that’s the case and the defense and special teams play well again, it’s not too tough to envision the Ravens improving by a couple wins and challenging the Steelers for the AFC North.

Quarterback controversies are usually tricky to navigate. And there will be a controversy at some point, especially since Lamar Jackson is such an exciting option. If Joe Flacco struggles early, John Harbaugh will be in a tough spot with a quarterback who helped him win a Super Bowl. And as much as I like Jackson, maybe when he gets a shot we’ll see exactly why he fell in the draft. I’m through picking the Ravens to have a losing season because it seems they never do, but it’s easy to see them missing the playoffs again.

The Ravens will probably be what they usually are. They won’t be particularly exciting, but effective. I’ll assume they’re in the nine-win range, not good enough to make the Steelers sweat but in the wild-card hunt. Maybe this time around they won’t have a playoff spot snatched from them in the final minute of the season.

The trans characters are also in the background, as invisible as possible, with no lines, and the only other visible one:

WAS MADE CIS IN THE ACTUAL EPISODE!

The trans characters are basically invisible, while the only visible ones are hyper fetishized for being trans-

ARE ERASED!

They made Sally being trans fetish fuel first, and made her a character second, and her trans brother’s representation was ERASED in the actual episode.

Which is trans fetishism.

-and TRANSPHOBIA.

-and if someone still- STILL!

-is not convinced that Vivziepop is transphobic when she WILLINGLY supported a transphobe, lied about it for her reputation, and fetishizes & erases the trans characters in her show you’d have to have something seriously wrong with you because the transphobia is-

RIGHT THERE! 👆

So @erinfrostart if you’re wondering about just how much transphobia Vivziepop has had in her work, there you go!

Plus, she is writing with Brandon Rodgers, a writer who made a character who’s ENTIRE “joke” is that she’s transgender and poc that is abused by her white husband. Also “it was seven years ago!” cool /s he still shoves black stereotypes into his videos and constantly uses his actresses to stereotype women by degrading them as much as humanly possible in his videos which makes every single stereotype in his channel still relevant since he still uses the worst ones possible. So if Vivziepop actually cared about the representation in her show, would she have supported Blaire White, a transphobe, and then hired a writer who made his entire career off mostly derogatory stereotypes of minorities, including stereotyping trans women, in a derogatory fashion, in a video that’s still up for anyone to watch?

HELL NO! She clearly does not give a shit if she’s going to hire writers that thrive off of bigotry on a whim for a show that is meant to be surrounded by minorities, the people Brandon constantly stereotypes, so Helluva Boss’s representation was actually doomed to fail just by having Brandon Rodgers of all people to the “comedy” for her show.

It’s like surrounding a pedophille in a room full of children that’s meant to be a class about consent laws- it’s pretty much asking for things to go wrong. -and for the wrong messages to be shown, and seeing Vivziepop’s post about how stereotypes are “SILLY HYPERBOLE that’s just a prank bro!” I wouldn’t be surprised if she had the representation go wrong on purpose just because she enjoys said stereotypes herself so I wouldn’t be surprised at this point if it all was on purpose and all the “progressive!” narratives were just a way to cover up how clearly fetishized and stereotype filled HB deliberately is. Which isn’t bad because “the characters are bad people”, but because the writing of the characters from REAL people is awful because of the messages in the show from all of the constant STEREOTYPES!

This was also made at about the same time as this video, so again, she clearly hired Brandon for stereotypes of minorities, which makes the implications of HB even worse.

-and I don’t care who Brandon is trying to “offend” here. Comedy doesnt excuse your actions by making them exist in a vacuum, stereotypes negatively effect minorities no matter what context they’re in, and using transphobia for clout, suprise suprise, is still TRANSPHOBIA! So if you’re offensive “on purpose” by spreading bigotry in your content, having it as a “comedy” isn’t an excuse, and you’re still stereotyping discriminated groups and making money off of it when you know that what you’re doing is harmful! Blackface is “comedy”, and there’s no excuse there, so does Brandon have any excuse for how often he stereotypes minorities?

HELL NO!

TW: Visuals of Blackface, Trans erasure, Transphobia.

Well then…

Sure makes the fact that Vivziepop supported Blaire White, even if she doesn’t want to admit that, had caused her to have internalized transphobia since EVERY trans character is pushed entirely into the background to the point of barely being visible or is only mostly there for fanservice (trans fetishisim) with no actual role yet at all, in the story…

Yeah… Vivziepop’s “I was NEVER transphobic I just liked Blaire because she was pretty! I didn’t know that she was a transphobe even AFTER I already saw her transphobia but defended it as “a normal political discussion” just because I didn’t want to admit to the fact that I supported a transphobe so I pulled a “I forgor!” in my “apology” to pretend as if I didn’t remember anything- when I clearly remembered the tweets that I was pretending that I “didn’t” see “yet” enough for me to mention the “insensitive tweets” that I “didn’t see until after I watched her and drew the fanart and realized my terrible mistake AFTER I watched her videos and saw her tweets AFTER I supported her!” like I said in my “apology” and instead saw WHILE I was watching Blaire White because I SUPPORTED HER for her transphobia, aka her entire channel, and pretended as if what she did was a “simple political discussion to disagree with” and “not” TRANSPHOBIA AND RACISM! Which means that I do remember supporting a transphobe, and her transphobia, but just dont want to admit it because REASONS!” that are in her apology hasn’t aged well… hasn’t it…

(What Vivziepop actually said compared to what she said she “did”…)

AKA: Vivziepop made a false apology, lying about what she did and weaponized her trauma again, writing an entire speech about “seeing things from all sides!” when she specifically supported transphobes, and didn’t do this as a “perspective thing” since she drew fanart of Blaire White, a transphobe, and actually saw the “insensitive tweets”, not “after” she supported Blaire but WHILE she supported Blaire and even DEFENDED the existence of said tweets that she claims that she did “not” see at the time where she made said fanart. When all Blaire White’s channel is, is transphobia anyway, so either way Viv couldn’t cover up her own transphobia even if she tried. Her post directly defending the existence of transphobia by calling it a “political discussion we “should!” have (the “trans are politics!” code word transphobes say to alienate people that are trans.) and saying that she’s “allowed!” to support transphobes just because she doesn’t “CATER!” to her audience. When let’s face it:

What’s worse than a past transphobe, is a past transphobe that refuses to admit to her past transphobia. A transphobe, that still has transphobia that she clearly has today due to the past influences that she refuses to own up to… which in itself: is transphobia.

When:

1. “Political Discussion that we should allow to exist! I DONT CARER TO U!” and being a bigot aren’t the same thing. Transphobia isn’t a simple political discussion Vivienne.

2. The way Vivziepop replied here very much implies that she knew about the transphobia in advance, which is why she got so defensive about it.

3. She already saw the “insensitive tweets”, and cant make the “I FORGOR!” excuse anymore like she did after Hazbin came out when she clearly remembers what she responded to, despite lying and saying that she “didn’t” see those tweets at that point, when she clearly did and even SUPPORTED the existence of said tweets from some she drew fanart of and all mentioning those tweets did was blow her cover.

So all of this “I JUST WANTED TO SEE DIFFERENT SIDES!” speech about how “good faith my simple mistake was!” was a total lie and she actually defended Blaire for said “insensitive tweets” that she tries to deny that she saw at the time, when she defended the existence of these posts and tried to call transphobia and racism a “important discussion”, which is transphobia.

She also tried to go “I DONT SUPPORT BLACK FACE!” as in “I NEVER SUPPORTED BLACK FACE!” when she clearly did, it’s right in the post that she’s denying existed 👆

When Blaire’s post says “BLAIRE BLACK!” in reference to the mask she was wearing AS blackface, and is clearly mocking Black Lives Matter, was posted in the BLM tag to harasss them- for being black: which is RACISM!

Blaire of course, denied all of this, and only showed the mask picture in her fake as all hell “apology!” video, and per usual, used misinformation to mislead her audience, but that’s another post-full altogether…

So in a nutshell:

Vivziepop supported a transphobe and her transphobia, lied about it to make herself look “good faith”, which ironically, is worse for her reputation since that means that she denied what she actually did and never apologized for it, which means that she never apologized for how she treated the trans community, which still makes this a current action and something to currently hold accountable since she currently lied about it in her “apology” to make what she did look “goos faith” and outright denied being a transphobe at all, which means that she still supports this since she lied about it to make herself look “good”instead of admitting to the fact that she supported a transphobe and a drew Nazi oc of a real Nazi scientist that tested on children.

-annnnnnnnnnd… she shoved all of her trans characters into the background and even ERASED a trans character just because he was directly on screen in HB Episode 5.

Yikes.

Age Played A Bigger Role In The NFL Draft. It’s About Time.

NFL teams leave no stone unturned when it comes to scouting top players for the draft. They scour college tapes, career statistics, physical attributes, intelligence tests, personality traits, social media accounts and school transcripts. By the time draft day arrives, NFL teams know if a player ever stepped out of line in middle school. But there’s one very obvious piece of information that teams seem to be changing their tunes on before choosing the players who can make or break a franchise: their birth certificates.

In last week’s NFL draft, teams seemed to be saying “younger is better” when it came to the top picks. Seventeen of the 32 players selected in the first round will be age 21 or younger on Sept. 1 — about when their rookie season will begin. This is the highest number this century.1 And it’s not a one-year fluke based on this draft’s talent pool: It’s the continuation of a trend.

From 2000 through 2013, the average draft saw seven selected players who would have been 21 or younger at the start of the regular season. Since 2013, that number of prospects barely old enough to drink on opening day nearly doubled to an average of 13.4. Last year’s 15 was the second-highest this century.

What caused such a dramatic change? The rookie wage scale instituted with the 2012 draft, which gives first-round selections a fixed, four-year deal based on where they ended up in the draft, plus a club option for a fifth year. Prior to that, college players projected for the first round but not as the top picks had more of an incentive to stay in college and improve their stock in order to demand a higher initial salary. But with that negotiating power gone, more pro prospects now want to get into the NFL as quickly as possible and set the clock in motion for their second contract, where they can make the most money. Obviously, the younger you are when that rookie contract and option year expire, the more earning potential you have.

The number of younger players declaring as underclassmen has increased dramatically ever since. From 2000 to 2011, the last year of the old collective bargaining agreement, an average of 49 underclassmen entered the draft per year. But since the 2012 draft, that average is up to 87. This year, there were a record 106 underclassmen who declared.

But younger prospects expected to be first-round picks have regularly left college early — in fact, those who stayed in school have often garnered the bigger headlines. So the increase in top-drafted underclassmen isn’t completely explained by the overall increase in players declaring. Teams also finally appear to be looking at how underclassmen actually performed rather than knocking them down a peg or two for leaving school “before they can refine their skills” or develop “emotional maturity.” Even a quarter of a century after underclassmen eligibility was granted, NFL coaches praised for innovation and an intimate knowledge of the college game were still stating a general preference for seniors.

The more interesting question then is not why more young players are being targeted now but rather what teams were doing for all those years. Looking from 2000 to 2013 (the most recent draft year for which no first-round pick could still be on his rookie contract, including an option year), younger first-rounders were most successful. To measure this, we can use Pro-Football-Reference.com’s weighted career approximate value (CarAV), which rewards a player for his contribution to a team’s points scored and prevented as well as overall performance in other key statistics.

Younger draftees perform better

First-round draft picks’ approximate career value based their ages as of Sept. 1 of the draft year, 2000-13

Average Age No. Draftees Overall Pick Career Approximate Value 20-21 98 15 43.8 22 174 16 42.9 23 146 17 39.5 24+ 27 18 33.6

Source: Pro-Football-Reference.com

While the youngest group of players age 20-21 performs only slightly better on average (43.8 average approximate career value) than the second-youngest at age 22 (42.9), the gap quickly widens. The 146 first-round picks who would have been 23 years old on Sept. 1 of their draft year had a 39.5 CarAV. And the 27 who were age 24 and over averaged just 33.6. (The oldest was 28-year-old quarterback Brandon Weeden, picked by the perennially hapless Cleveland Browns.)

While younger players were drafted only slightly higher in this span on average, this variance could be at least partially attributed to selection bias. Players who are good enough to make the NFL at this age are probably just better in general than the older players. But at the same time, each player taken in the first 32 picks of the draft is elite regardless of whether he’s a senior or a junior. So if age is a factor in the success of a draft pick, the Bills’ selection of the first round’s youngest player, Virginia Tech linebacker Tremaine Edmunds, seems a lot smarter. Conversely, the Ravens tabbing the round’s oldest player, soon-to-be-25-year-old tight end Hayden Hurst of South Carolina, seems more questionable.

But what about age at the game’s most important position, quarterback? This is the one position where the pros and cons of age are arguably most balanced. Older quarterbacks may be ready to slot into an offense right away if that’s what a team needs, while other teams may have the luxury of letting a younger player carry the clipboard for a while — something that can’t always be done at other positions. Using CarAV again, we see the effect of age at quarterback as even more pronounced — albeit with smaller sample sizes.

For QBs, age is even more important

First-round quarterbacks’ approximate career value based on their ages as of Sept. 1 of the draft year, 2000-13

Average Age No. Draftees Overall Pick Career Approximate Value 21 6 9 75.2 22 10 7 54.5 23 18 12 45.9 24+ 3 16 39.7

No 20-year-old quarterbacks were drafted in this span.

Source: Pro-football-reference.com

The six signal callers age 21 and younger by September of their draft year have by far the greatest average value, at 75. And it’s not just Aaron Rodgers, who has posted a 128 career approximate value. Alex Smith (93 CarAV), Matthew Stafford (85) and the retired Michael Vick (93) were also successful picks at this age. This would be good news for the team that this year took the youngest of the highly drafted passers, the Jets with soon-to-be-21-year-old Sam Darnold. The returns diminish dramatically with the 10 QBs at age 22, even though they were drafted higher on average (seventh versus ninth). And the bust rate (players with a CarAV below 40) increases from 33 percent to 50 percent. Likewise, 11 of the 18 picks (61 percent) at age 23 were busts. This age 23 group houses some of the most notorious draft disasters in this time period: Tim Tebow, Christian Ponder and Jake Locker were all 23 by Sept. 1 of their draft year. Locker, drafted No. 8 overall in 2011, was so tired of football that he walked away from the game at age 26.

All of this could be a red flag for the first overall pick and oldest first-round quarterback, new Cleveland Brown Baker Mayfield, who turned 23 last month. Darnold will be entering his third season when he’s the age Mayfield will be this year as a rookie. So while Mayfield may end up being the draft’s most pro-ready passer, Darnold may just end up with the more productive career.

Ahhhh... this is the stuff. I have collected a number of books on uniforms of all kinds over the years. The difference in quality between a quality product and rubbish has become clear to me, and this book is the former. It is simply superb. The book itself is a high-quality affair, with glossy pages, fold-outs, and a good binding. The content is also great; virtually all of the noteworthy costumes from the original trilogy are here. The format shows them to their greatest advantage. No one can quibble about the choice of models here, since the costumes are placed over appropriate but unobtrusive manikins. Go to Amazon

Terrific photos, gate folds, and interesting text...the Force is with this book! I was not disappointed upon opening my copy of Star Wars Costumes. Three great forewords by John Mollo, Aggie Rodgers, and Nilo Rodis-Jamero. Lots of informative text (much stuff I didn't know) about the costumes, and stellar pictures. Particularly love the gate folds. Vader's costume, for example, gets great coverage. And the photos were taken with an eye toward showing detail. Just perfect. I haven't read the entire book: I only got it today, but I knew at first glance this is top quality, destined to take its place among other great original Star Wars trilogy resource books like Rinzler's "Making Of" series and Star Wars Storyboards, just to name a few. This nice hardback book is long overdue, but we have it at last. Go to Amazon

Highly recommended I just received this beautiful book and love it! The detail and pictures are fantastic! There previously had not been very much reference but now this will be a great read and reference for costumers and Star Wars fans alike! Very much worth the wait and the price I paid! Go to Amazon

Excellent reference book for any fan of the costumes of ... Excellent reference book for any fan of the costumes of the Original Trilogy. Beautiful photography, intriguing background stories by the creators. And finally, clear and large shots of the A, B, and Y wing pilot uniforms from Return of the Jedi. You will not be disappointed.
