powells.com. Largest independent bookstore in the world, they ship to Canada, but it ain't gonna be particularly cheap i'm guessing.

Pure speculation, but I could also easily see it just being kids from other nearby schools that heard about a protest at Columbia and rode the subway up from NYU, or CUNY, or any number of schools in the area. Technically outsiders at that point, but I wouldn't really consider them as such.

It's almost like I was pointing out the age of the account to infer that dude made another account to agree with himself. The usernames alone are kind of a giveaway.

Your account is 11 hours old, yet you know what everyone here is annoyed with? Sure.

Taste aside, some of y'all really need to learn the definition of obscure.

Dude, London Calling (the Clash album this song is from) sold over 5 million copies. They are in no way obscure.

While I'm not familiar with all the books on this list they're banning, the ones I am familiar with is enough to convince me they aren't banning them because of "depications of sex". (Not that that's a reason to ban books in the first place.)

The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood
Beloved by Toni Morrison
I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou
The Color Purple by Alice Walker

Sure. You're banning these for "depictions of sex." Right.

The fact that A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah Maas is on the list but not A Court of Thorns and Roses especially cracks me up. Mist and Fury is the sequel to Thorns and Roses and both do indeed contain depictions of sex. A number of them! But in the one they banned, the protagonist learns that the dude she fell for in the first book had been gaslighting her the entire time and essentially holding her hostage. And then she forms a much healthier relationship with a different guy in the second book, but I guess that's not a good thing for young women to learn about.

No Mr. Feeny. I'll give it a B-

Wait, are you saying yes it's unethical to give fake money to beggars and strippers, or yes, it's ok to give them fake money?

Cuz...it's really not ok to give either of them fake money.

What makes you think that because they've never had Taco Bell they've never had Mexican food at all?

I have this one, and it just saves the video to an sd card. The review I linked to mentions it's lack of connectivity as a con, but clearly it's not a con if that's what you're looking for.

Source for this planned 4th season? Everything I've heard/read indicates that Sterlin Harjo felt the end of season 3 was the natural place to end it and it was his decision to stop there.
