      Josh Howard was canceled back in 2008 for saying he doesn’t celebrate the Star Spangled Banner because he’s black… 10+ years later and doing that is cool.

      The problem I have with history teachers (at least from my experience) is that they tend to have a bias on how they teach it. I’d prefer that they just explain everything as is and let the students decide.

      A good example is this, the Marcoses. I’m so sick and tired of the Marcos era being taught in such a black and white way. Puros na lang human rights this, Voltes V that. Or if you’re pro-Marcos, infrastructure this, heinous crimes punished that. No mention at all of his complex relationship with the Americans or lord knows what else was buried because the narrative is always drastically on either side and walang middle ground.

    I kinda expected Cena to retire since he’s had quite a successful Hollywood run but still sad to see him go kahit hindi ako fan. He’s the wrestler I’ve seen the longest with Undertaker, Triple H, all retired. He’s had some banger matches although mic skills niya was always annoying.

    Saw that many days ago. For a 4080 💻 with an 18-inch screen, I thought $ 2250 was cheap. I hope it’s available in 🇵🇭 for that cost.
