idk if i should keep putting vents and discourse and allegations etc here cause like this is a personal blog but also theres ppl following me now so maye i should make another blog lol

[agerestorybits]

Ok, just throwing this out there and I do not mean this in a bad way

Do you think Thomas is tired of sanders sides?

It feels like this project was supposed to be a fun, quirky, small thing that got too big and now it's ALL he's supposed to do

Dude made small funny videos and you can see that enjoyment shine through when he makes a TikTok/YouTube short you can also see genuine enjoyment and when he works on Roleslaying with Roman

I might be looking too deeply into this but

He does a lot more than Sanders sides and he enjoys being seen for that HOWEVER that's what people know him for and think about and wants him to make

Sanders sides at the start was literally just him standing in front of a camera going 'look I used to made funny short videos but now I have to move to YouTube and I don't know how this is supposed to work so here's some characters I did before.'

It started out as a funny little thing

And now it's huge and every single episode has to matter and every line has to have deep lore implications and there isn't room for error without fans going "What does it mean??"

(side note that is totally fine, over read into everything that's half the fun of fandom just don't go demanding from the Creator)

Not only did he not have some super important deep dramatic plotline from the start, he flat out just doesn't seem to be enjoying it

But there is a story element to it and the story isn't over just so he can't be over it

It's an art project that is taking too long, it's becoming his identity and I can imagine getting quite sick of that

he does something else and people jump on it and talk about how/what/why/where the 'sides' shine through and I can imagine that can get dehumanizing after awhile

So we move forward to present day, fans are getting tired and restless and upset about not getting new content and being told "soon" or "we're working on it" which is a whole other can of worms since it seems that Thomas is trying so hard to make and keep promises that, honestly, would be better if he didn't

These may seem a bit left field but Markiplier has a new high effort project going to be released on April 4th 2022 he is excited, he's let people know when it comes out as soon as he could, things like these are why he started youtube

It will probably have at least one or two bits with 'markiplier egos' in it, not all of them, not even most if them just a couple bigger names and then moving on

His is an artist, and he has the freedom to make whatever he wants, he's allowed to make a video and there isn't people looking and commenting that "looks like x is really taking the spotlight"

He's having fun with it, there is a light in his eyes and an excitement and he's made something and he wants to show it to us because he wants us to have fun with the silly thing he made

Now jump back to Thomas he doesn't seem as excited, he is trying so hard and hanging in by a shoestring to get stuff done that involves Sanders sides, he doesn't like he enjoys it anymore he is burnt out on this project

Which means he should step away from it and do something else refresh and come back to it when he is ready the problem lies in that he can not step away

He can work on something else but people are going to be saying "wow that's a neat thing you did but when are you going to get back to what we are REALLY here for" that probably causes guilt and anger and stress and frustration that tie back to that one thing he is trying to take a break from

You can't get away from something when everyone is talking to you about it reminding you that you have to do more

Sanders sides is a big thing to put together, there are costumes and props and lighting, editing, scripts, makeup, he needs a crew, writers, he's (almost always) the SOLE actor

Who killed Markiplier/ A Date with Markiplier/ Markiplier T V were all projects that were very similar, very fun and entertaining

Both artists, both make fun entertaining content, One of these people seems to actively be excited for what they are making, the other seems less and less interested in it

One of them feels like he can be honest with his fan base and tell them when things are happening and why they are being pushed of, the other is vague, there's isn't that layer of trust or respect for the artist

I wanna hear what other people have to think about this I really do so feel free to reblog or tag or comment or just tag me in your posts about this

[dontcryminecraft]

imagine malding over the fact you can communicate with people who speak different languages than you in real time

MOM LOOK IM GETTING ANON HATE ONLINE!!!!!! GET THE CAMERA!!!!

Brennan’s Wikipedia Redo on Elon Musk page

Edits are in bold. Original Wiki page can be found here.

Early Life, Human Flight and SEC Lawsuit

Early life and family

Elon Reeve Musk was born on June 28, 1971, in Pretoria, Transvaal, South Africa.[15][16] His mother is Maye Musk (née Haldeman), a model and dietitian born in Saskatchewan, Canada,[17][18][19] but raised in South Africa. His father is Errol Musk, a South African electromechanical engineer, pilot, sailor, consultant and property developer.[20] He has a younger brother who was an early business partner of his, Kimbal (born 1972), and a younger sister, Tosca (born 1974), the CEO of the video streaming site Passionflix.[19][21][25] His maternal grandfather, Dr. Joshua Haldeman, was an American-born Canadian.[26] His paternal grandmother had both British and Pennsylvania Dutch ancestry.[27][28]

After his parents divorced in 1980, Musk lived mostly with his father in the suburbs of Pretoria,[27] a choice he made two years after his parents separated but which he subsequently regretted.[29] Musk has become estranged from his father, whom he has described as "a terrible human being... Almost every evil thing you could possibly think of, he has done."[29] He also has a half-sister[30] and a half-brother on his father's side.[31] After his parents divorced in 1980, nine year old Musk and his younger brother primarily lived with his father in the suburbs of Pretoria,[27]. This was a choice he made two years after his parents separated but it was one that he subsequently regretted.[29] Musk has become estranged from his father, describing him as emotionally abusive and tough to his children. [Kosoff 2020] He also has a half-sister[30] and a half-brother on his father's side.[31]

During his childhood, Musk was an avid reader.[32] At the age of 10, he developed an interest in computing while using the Commodore VIC-20.[33] He learned computer programming using a manual and, by the age of 12, sold the code of a BASIC-based video game he created called Blastar to PC and Office Technology magazine for approximately $500.[34][35] His childhood reading included Isaac Asimov's Foundation series, from which he drew the lesson that "you should try to take the set of actions that are likely to prolong civilization, minimize the probability of a dark age and reduce the length of a dark age if there is one".[29]

Musk was severely bullied throughout his childhood and was once hospitalized after a group of boys threw him down a flight of stairs.[29][36][37] He attended Waterkloof House Preparatory School and Bryanston High School[37] before graduating from Pretoria Boys High School.[38]

Although Musk's father insisted that Elon go to college in Pretoria, Musk became determined to move to the United States, saying "I remember thinking and seeing that America is where great things are possible, more than any other country in the world."[39] Musk knew it would be easier to get to the United States from Canada and moved there against his father's wishes in June 1989, just before his 18th birthday,[40][41] after obtaining a Canadian passport through his Canadian-born mother.[42][43]

Human flight

On May 30, 2020, SpaceX launched its first manned flight called Demo-2 becoming the first private company to both place a person into orbit and to eventually dock a crewed space-craft with the ISS.[108] Further, the launch was the first time since the end of the Shuttle Program that an American astronaut has been launched from American soil on an American rocket.[109]

During discourse with his peers when the technology of SpaceX was criticized or had the potential to cause fatalities, Elon Musk has described himself as the company's responsible chief engineer/designer, while giving the entire team at SpaceX credit for its success.[110][111]

On November 16, 2020, Space X successfully launched with NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) four astronauts into their space mission on SpaceX Crew Dragon. They docked with the International Space Station (ISS) approximately 27 hours later. Unlike the test flight in May, 2020, this flight had a full set of scientific experiments planned for the trip, as well as plans for a stay on the ISS for six months. The launch was nearly stopped, as Elon Musk announced that he had symptoms of COVID-19 the day before the launch, but careful contact tracing verified that the astronauts had not been exposed.  This joint project, where the space vehicles are owned by Space X but with NASA buying their use for missions, means that Space X will be able to fly tourists, private scientists and others, with a projected ticket cost of $50 million for the trip. [Wattles 2020]

SEC lawsuit

In September 2018, Musk was sued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for a tweet claiming that funding had been secured for potentially taking Tesla private[149] (at a price of $420 a share, an alleged reference to marijuana[150]). The lawsuit claimed that verbal discussions Musk held with foreign investors in July 2018 did not confirm key deal terms[151] and thus characterized the tweet as false, misleading, and damaging to investors, and sought to bar Musk from serving as CEO of publicly traded companies.[149][152] Musk called the allegations unjustified and that he had never compromised his integrity.[153] Two days later, Musk settled with the SEC, without admitting or denying the SEC's allegations. As a result, Musk and Tesla were fined $20 million each, and Musk was forced to step down for three years as Tesla chairman, but he was able to remain as Tesla's CEO.[154]

Musk has stated in several interviews since that he does not regret sending the tweet that triggered the SEC investigation. According to Reuters, Musk said the tweet was "Worth It".[155] According to ABC News, "As recently as Oct. 4, 2018, Musk issued a sarcastic tweet, describing the agency [SEC] as the 'Shortseller Enrichment Commission,' despite having agreed to settlement terms a week earlier that his company, Tesla, would monitor his tweets and other communications."[156] In a December 2018 interview with CBS's 60 Minutes, Musk stated, "I want to be clear. I do not respect the SEC."[157] On February 19, 2019, according to Forbes, Musk stated in a tweet that Tesla would build half a million cars in 2019.[158] The SEC reacted to Musk's tweet by filing in court, initially asking the court to hold him in contempt for violating the terms of a settlement agreement with such a tweet, which was disputed by Musk. This was eventually settled by a joint agreement between Musk and the SEC clarifying the previous agreement details.[159] The agreement included a list of topics that Musk would need preclearance before tweeting about.[160] On May 19, 2020, a judge prevented a lawsuit from proceeding that claimed Musk's tweet on May 1 regarding the price of Tesla stock ("too high imo") was in violation of the agreement.[161][162].  Legal experts suggest that some of the legal actions by the SEC against Musk for stating his view, is a violation of First Amendment rights of free speech, and that he should have equal protection of free speech about his viewpoints on how successful his Tesla company will be. These experts argue that this is no different that the free speech protection provided to political figures. [Markham 2019]

Essay -

This essay addresses a review of the Wikipedia page of Elon Musk, an entrepreneur, industrial designer, engineer and also billionaire.  It is a detailed web page covering his extensive business ventures, and when converted to a single-spaced Word document, it was approximately sixteen pages long.  Three sections were addressed in this review, his Early Life, Human Flight, and SEC lawsuit.

There seem to be a number of biases in the Wikipedia page by omission of content. This might be considered implicit, perhaps someone forgot to add the information, perhaps they did not think it was important or necessary.  It also might be considered explicit, such as purposely excluding content that might give someone a different view of the subject, in this case of Elon Musk.   Some of the omissions could be in progress, such as the discussion of the November 16, 2020 successful space launch, which was covered in depth by the United States Press, both on media and print.  On the other hand, Wikipedia pages can be updated in a day, which often seems to happen when someone dies.

In the first part, Early Life and Family, there seems to be an explicit bias against Elon Musk’s father, and includes a quote from Musk, according to Rolling Stone Magazine, saying of his father, that he was "a terrible human being... Almost every evil thing you could possibly think of, he has done."  There is no clarification of what these evil things might have been, but it sounds pretty horrendous. There is no counter argument to provide any context for his father.  I modified it, changing the line above to one used in an article by Kosoff that refers to his father as being emotionally abusive and tough on his children.  This still conveys a difficult home life, but without evidence it doesn’t seem right to describe it as evil.  There did not seem to be any available resources on the father’s perspective of his son.   Also added the detail that Musk was only nine years old when he moved to live with his father.  I removed the line that described some of his ancestors as it seemed to try to provide implicit bias for him, in particular to explain why he might have the right to come to Canada first and then the United States as a citizen, since his ancestors were from there.  This convey that he is entitled because of his ancestors, but it seemed out of context to list one maternal and one paternal grandparent.

The section on Human Flight ended with the May 2020 test launch and did not include the highly publicized and successful mission launched with four astronauts on November 16, 2020.  This seems a dramatic omission, as it was all over the news.  This seems to me to be an explicit omission, perhaps because of the COVID-19 scare, which also meant he could not attend the launch, or if it was because some are jealous of the success of his ventures.

The SEC Lawsuit section presents an implicit suggestion that Musk is rejecting the right of the SEC to regulate company officers, in particular to protect investors. The SEC did have a number of legally defensible points, which led to a large fine and limiting Musk’s participation in the Tesla company.  However, there are some legal experts that also defend the right of Musk to have free speech about his opinion of how the company will do in the future, which is different that suggesting he has arranged for company financing to go private.

The revisions that I made primarily fill in gaps in the Wikipedia page, that indicated potential bias.  While much of the document appears to be very factual, the omissions, although only a few, can lead to bias.

The sources reviewed and then used for this review are included in the Works Cited section below. These included news articles, business stories and biography sites. There are also books available, that would have provided some additional depth and analysis, but they were not used for this particular review.

What was the range of the English Warbow?

(this is an answer I recently wrote on /r/AskHistorians)

To the best of my knowledge, there is only a single medieval source that gives us a good estimate of the range of a longbow in combat. Christine de Pizan's Le Livre des Fais d’Armes et de Chevallerie (The Book of Deeds of Arms and of Chivalry), a very interesting work written between 1410 and 1411 at the request of John the Fearless for Louis, Duke of Guyenne and heir to the French throne. The first part of the work is largely based on Vegetius, with elements from Frontinus and Valerius Maximus, but it contains a chapter dedicated to contemporary military practice and Christine often updates or else views elements of Vegetius through the lens of early 15th century Europe. One of these refers to English archers:

In this art young Englishmen are still instructed from early youth, and for this reason they commonly surpass other archers. They can hit a barge aimed at from a distance of six hundred feet.

The "foot" used by Christine was likely the Foot of Paris, which was 12.79 English inches, making the range 213 yards. However, while this is in the earliest extant - and perhaps the original - manuscript, there is another manuscript from almost the same period which instead says that the English archers could "place their arrow right where they want it" at that range. This might just be a variation on phrasing, since being able to reliably hit a barge at 213 yards could be said to be placing the arrow where you want it, or it could reflect the new French experience with English archers following Agincourt.

We can also compare this to 16th century sources, which are more numerous and also contain information on archery in the field. The source that provides the closest match to Christine de Pizan is Henry V's archery law of 1541, which forbids the practice of archery against static targets at less than 220 yards:

Be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That no man under the age of twenty four years shall shoot at any standing prick [target], except it be at a rover, whereat he shall change at every shoot his mark, upon pain for every shoot doing the contrary, iv d. (2) and that no person above the said age of twenty four years shall shoot at any mark of eleven score yards of under with any prick-shaft or flight, under the pain to forfeit for every shoot, six shillings eight pence.

The interesting thing here is that, although much has been made of the 220 yard minimum range, it was entirely acceptable to shoot military arrows at targets below 220 yards so long as you were participating in a sport known as "roving". Roving can be thought of as golf with a bow: it was a distinct course, and each mark (target) was at a different distance from the last. You followed the course from mark to mark, having to adjust your aim at every target and, according to the law, only being allowed to shoot once at each mark.

As you can see from the law, doing this with light arrows was expressly forbidden unless the mark was over 220 yards away, which very strongly suggests that the practice was specifically intended to foster useful skills for military archery. Targets over 220 yards, however, seem to have fallen into the category of flight shooting which, although it could be useful in a military context, was much more of a civilian sport.

Later 16th century sources, primarily military manuals or discussions of military matters by former soldiers, concur. For instance, Barnabe Rich writes that:

Suppose one thousande Archers shoulde be leuyed within any two Shiers in Englande let them vse no further regard in the choice then of ordinary they are accustomed: In the seruice of the Prince, let these Archers be apoynted with such liuery Bowes as the Country generally vseth to alow, let these Archers continnewe in the feelde but the space of one wéeke, abidynge such fortune of weather, with their Bowes and Arrowes, as in the mene time might happen. I would but demaunde how many of those thowsand men were able at the weeks end to shoote aboue x. score. I dare vndertake that if one hundred of those thousande doo shoote aboue ten score, that .ii. hundred of the rest, wyll shoote shorte of .ix. score, and is not this a peece of aduantage thinkest thou?

Cutting through the Middle English, Rich argued that, if you were to take away the every day bows and arrows of an archer, provide them with mass produced bows and arrows issued from the Royal Armouries, and then have them endured the hardship of being in the field for a week, 90% of all archers would be unable to shoot beyond 180 yards within a week. In another, slightly later book, Rich expands on this, saying that livery bows are made to be durable, not shoot well, while the livery arrows are "big timbered" and their feathers ruffled so that they create excessive drag.

Other authors paint an even more dire picture. Humfrey Barwick, one of the most vociferous opponents of the longbow, has this pessimistic description of the archer on campaign:

Fyrst, for that he coulde get no warme meate, nor his thrée meales euery daie, as his custome was to haue at home, neyther his body to lye warme at night, whereby his ioyntes were not in temper, so that being sodainely called vpon, as the seruice doth often fal out: he is lyke a man that hath the Palsie, and so benommed, that before he get eyther to the fire, or to a warme bedde, he can drawe no bowe at all.

And it is further set downe in the saide booke, that neyther Raine, Hayle nor Snowe, can hinder the Archers from shootinge, but I am not of that minde, for that the archer lyinge in Campe, where as hee maye not lye foorth of his appointed place, and hauing not to couer his Bowe nor scantlie his heade, then, I thinke his bowe to be in danger to dissolue the Glewe in the hornes of the bowe, and something hinder his stringe and sheffe of arrowes, whereof he dooth make his pillowe

Without steady meals and exposed to the elements, archers lost condition on campaign and were less capable of shooting their bows as the campaign dragged on. Bows and arrows also tended to degrade through neglect or lack of equipment, which reduced their range. Williams' assessment of an archers' range was the most pessimistic of the 16th century authors, at a mere 160 yards.

Others, however, were somewhat more generous. Robert Barret allowed that archers might shoot as far as 240 yards, although no further, while Roger Williams hints that some might have reached as far as 280 yards, although he assumes that they only became a danger to light cavalry at 240 yards.

The most interesting information, however, comes from Sir John Smythe, the best known of the longbow's defenders at the end of the 16th century. He praised the longbow to excess and tended to downplay the ability of firearms, but his assessment of the longbow was that archers could "direct their arrowes in the shooting of them out of their Bowes with a great deale more certaintie, being within eight, nine, tenne, or eleuen scores" than men with firearms could do at a shorter range. The list of ranges he gives, being between 160 and 220 yards, is precisely the variety of ranges we see in the sources for military archery in the 16th century, from Roger Williams' pessimistic 160 yards to Henry VIII's implied 220 yard maximum. Smythe was himself a veteran, so the fact that he acknowledged that archers might only be shooting at 160 yards suggests Williams was not being overly dramatic, even if he presented the worst case scenario.

What does all this add up to? Well, the evidence is that livery bows and arrows probably limited archers to somewhere between 200 and 220 yards under normal circumstances, unless the archers were lucky enough to get hold of a good one or were using their own bow with livery arrows. Even then, it's unlikely they were capable of shooting much past 240 yards. As time wore on, however, wear and tear on the bows and arrows, combined with poor, irregular, food and the effects of sleeping in bad weather, meant that most archers were unable to shoot much further than 180 yards and some may not have shot much past 160.

A Fed Up Former Teacher Curates a Show Fighting School Segregation

Six decades after the US Supreme Court's landmark Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka ruling, which ended de jure segregation in America, Kathryn Fuller found herself in a high school classroom in Bushwick, Brooklyn teaching Latino students literature with limited resources. "In tenth grade, we read Bodega Dreams but we only had one set for my three tenth grade classes," recalls Fuller, "so the students couldn't take the books home to read, and we spent class time reading."

One student asked, "Why don't we get our own books?"

"I knew the answer to that question," she says, "but didn't know how to explain it." Becoming physically ill from the stresses of teaching in the environment, Fuller lasted just one semester at the school. The former teacher's experiences of trying to educate poor students, who in reality still attend segregated schools, has led to a series of art exhibitions, entitled Race and Revolution.

"This show is a part of a series that look at the roots of systemic racism through the documentation of legislation and politics that has helped sustain systemic racism," Fuller explains to Creators. "As a former schoolteacher, school segregation was something I really wanted to look at." The second show in the series, Race and Revolution: Still Separate—Still Unequal, curated by Fuller and Larry Ossei-Mensah, features works of photography, installation, video, and works on paper that explore many different aspects of education inequality in America.

"Post election, I was really thinking about how to respond," adds Ossei-Mensah. "I knew there would be a lot of art that confronted the moment, but what I wanted to do was really identify issues that have persisted in our society far longer than the 2016 election. Education affects all of us."

What emerged in American life after Brown v. Board of Education is what legal scholars call "de facto" segregation, or segregation by fact of a student's circumstances. The racial and economic grouping of American people into homogeneous communities in cities and counties across the country produce in reality, if not by law, segregated and resource-poor and -rich schools. Public schools are primarily funded through property tax schemes, and a student's zip code determines the quality of their education. For Fuller's former school in Bushwick, because the students lived in a neighborhood with a high concentration of low income Latino families, the schools serving them, without breaking the law, are predominantly Latino and resource-poor, resulting in dramatically diminished learning opportunities.

Race and Revolution: Still Separate—Still Unequal features mostly art made by teachers and a few students, offering searingly personal works. Carina D. Maye, an adjunct professor at Georgia State University, submitted artwork like Literacy Test and Teaching from Test, exploring the inequality embedded in standardized testing. JC Lenochan, a high school art history teacher, created a wall installation posing two questions on a chalkboard: "What was your race moment?" and "What was your class moment?" The questions prompt viewers to seriously consider the implications of race and class on educational outcomes and write them on the gallery walls. Uraline Septembre Hager, a special education teacher in New York City, shows a work titled Like Feeding a Dog His Own Tail, depicting a school desk enclosed behind black fencing, alluding to a jail cell. It touches on the reality that students who drop out of segregated schools often end up in prison.

Fuller says, "We are presenting an exhibition and inviting people to have challenging conversations about education in this gallery space, which is a safe space." Ossei-Mensah says, "This exhibition for me represents a platform for dialogue and discourse around this issue. A lot of times, curators put together shows with the hope that people like them. I am interested in people feeling something. Hopefully it triggers a memory or illuminates something the viewer wasn't aware of so that they can go do something in their specific community."

Race and Revolution: Still Separate—Still Unequal continues through August 6 at Smack Mellon. Click here for more information.
