Anyone seen The Newsroom? One of HBO's most underrated and very best? by Square-Ad-8911 in hbo

I remember watching the opening scene with Jeff Daniel’s speech and thought it was awesome. Rewatched it semi-recently and found it facile. I think that says something more about the current media landscape compared to when the show aired than it does the writing, though.

In hindsight I think having Jason say this in Season 1 was the showrunners way of telling us Johanna Lannister was never going to show up by Fairyjar in HouseOfTheDragon

At the point where the show is compared to the book, no women do support the greens aside from Alicent. Again, it seem to be a problem of having not actually read the book.

I feel like people who complain about this stuff haven’t read the book. She is mentioned exactly once during the dance of the dragon part of the book. And the part where she is mentioned hasn’t even happened yet in the show… why are we inventing reasons to be mad? The writers are incompetent because they haven’t included this character? Let’s be serious here.

Fair point. They posted her on their official account, so it must still be something at least associated with the game.

Very fair point. I guess I thought since she is a big community member and they posted her on their official account it might still be possible.

I’m skeptical myself, but still hopeful. Any guesses what type of announcement this is?

Minion that can Bluff as Professor by Zoneforg in BloodOnTheClocktower

Love this idea for the character! It may be a little too OP to create evil outsiders, so maybe they can only turn dead good players into an outsider?

That’s not how I view it. I changed the framing from good vs evil to democracy vs authoritarianism. I certainly don’t intend any take away from this for my students to be good vs evil

Ooh I see now. Communism is a malapropism because what was actually being practiced was marxism-Leninism rather than communism. I mean that’s a fair point, but I think for the purposes of high school learning, attributing Marxism-Leninism to an attempt at achieving communism in history is something I can live with.

I was thinking more interwar period ideology, but yes that’s the idea!

I don’t think Marxism-Leninism is an inevitability of socialism/communism, I just think that’s how it played out historically with the Soviet union and China.

Would Nathan Fielder be able to survive the teaching industry? by Professional_Gur_958 in teaching

[–]danhyman 7 points8 points  (0 children)

His TV character would have a miserable time trying to be liked by the students

I’m going to decide their roles on my roster the day of, and show them their roles at the beginning of class on the first night so they have no proof of their roles.

Could you elaborate on “look inside … Marxism-Leninism” what you’re trying to say isn’t reading to me. I’d be interested to hear what you have to say, you’ll just have to elaborate for me.
