Anti-woke Twitter is justifiably outraged over the NY Times celebrating a girl getting unaccepted from College for saying the N-Word at 15. An important, but overlooked, part of the story was focusing on the supposed racism of Loudon County, VA as part of that "reckoning" https://t.co/A1Ko2Px07N

The Times views the fact that 15 year olds quotes rap lyrics in the context of the Town's Confederate and segregationist history.
Loudon County and Leesburg were unpopulated rural areas during Massive Resistance. their populations have grown nearly 20 fold since then. This growth is primarily from from wealthy DC suburbanites as well as Asian and Hispanic immigrants (NYT notes the school is only 50% white)
I'd bet less than 5% of the students are descended from someone who attended segregated Loudon County schools. There is no heritage of segregation in Loudon County--it has no heritage beyond recent government workers and immigrants.
"Geographic Guilt By Association" is becoming more common. If a county or town committed a real or imagined racism in the past, then they must "reckon" with it when addressing their imagined racisms of the present.
The Boston Globe ties Groton, MA insufficiently diverse demographics to its "reputation" as a "sundown town" despite the fact that there is literally no evidence it ever was true. Nonetheless, the town is officially repenting.
Texas Monthly similarly derides Vidor, Texas for its demographics--citing alleged past Klan activity and mythical Sundown status, but offers redemption via BLM rallies.
And of course Donald Trump, engaged in Overt Racism by scheduling a rally in Tulsa, where a race riot had occurred a century earlier, on Juneteenth. (He sadly rescheduled it)
This isn't new, Ronald Reagan has long been attacked for having a campaign event within 10 miles of where Civil Rights activists were killed.
Of course, First they came for Mississippi... Even Massachusetts and NOVA once did something "racist." Our joruno-commissars will look up the Wikipedia page of whatever town they are whining about, and turn it into a historical think piece, worthy of their MPP from GWU.

A brief analysis and comparison of the CSS for Twitter's PWA vs Twitter's legacy desktop website. The difference is dramatic and I'll touch on some reasons why.

Legacy site *downloads* ~630 KB CSS per theme and writing direction.

6,769 rules
9,252 selectors
16.7k declarations
3,370 unique declarations
44 media queries
36 unique colors
50 unique background colors
46 unique font sizes
39 unique z-indices

PWA *incrementally generates* ~30 KB CSS that handles all themes and writing directions.

735 rules
740 selectors
757 declarations
730 unique declarations
0 media queries
11 unique colors
32 unique background colors
15 unique font sizes
7 unique z-indices

The legacy site's CSS is what happens when hundreds of people directly write CSS over many years. Specificity wars, redundancy, a house of cards that can't be fixed. The result is extremely inefficient and error-prone styling that punishes users and developers.

The PWA's CSS is generated on-demand by a JS framework that manages styles and outputs "atomic CSS". The framework can enforce strict constraints and perform optimisations, which is why the CSS is so much smaller and safer. Style conflicts and unbounded CSS growth are avoided.
First thread of the year because I have time during MCO. As requested, a thread on the gods and spirits of Malay folk religion. Some are indigenous, some are of Indian origin, some have Islamic


Before I begin, it might be worth explaining the Malay conception of the spirit world. At its deepest level, Malay religious belief is animist. All living beings and even certain objects are said to have a soul. Natural phenomena are either controlled by or personified as spirits

Although these beings had to be respected, not all of them were powerful enough to be considered gods. Offerings would be made to the spirits that had greater influence on human life. Spells and incantations would invoke their


Two known examples of such elemental spirits that had god-like status are Raja Angin (king of the wind) and Mambang Tali Arus (spirit of river currents). There were undoubtedly many more which have been lost to time

Contact with ancient India brought the influence of Hinduism and Buddhism to SEA. What we now call Hinduism similarly developed in India out of native animism and the more formal Vedic tradition. This can be seen in the multitude of sacred animals and location-specific Hindu gods
