Oh she is evil. That’s the kind of thing Cruz does in court. Switch the focus from the real case he cannot defend to something for which he has a bunch of irrelevant supporting facts.
For Heaven’s sake, leave off the analyses and just enjoy the comic. Get off the hunt for racist under currents and hidden messages, and just let them be just kids.
“Portland should be the capital” are fighting words to the Mainers from outside its sphere of influence, who deeply resent that we already get too much attention in this part of the state.
I am trying to think of State capitals that are also the major cities in that particular state. Without using a search engine, only Boston, Massachusetts, Hartford, Connecticut and Providence, Rhode Island come to mind.
had to do a project on the beginning of the world in HS – stood up said in the beginning there was nothing and that is what i did – nothing – the rest of the class liked it the teacher not so much
The Yin Yang was firstly used by Zou Yan, a cosmologist, and renowned philosopher and academic in ancient China.
Zou Yan theorized that life went through 5 different phases; fire, water, metal, wood, and earth and these phases always changed depending on if they are in a Yin or Yang state.
In Chinese philosophy, the concept of yin-yang (simplified Chinese: 阴阳; traditional Chinese: 陰陽; pinyin: yīnyáng), which is often called “yin and yang”, is used to describe how seemingly opposite or contrary forces are interconnected and interdependent in the natural world; and, how they give rise to each other as they interrelate to one another.
Portland, whose population is six per cent Black, is the whitest big city in America. The historian Walidah Imarisha traces the origin of these demographics to the founding of Oregon, which settlers envisaged as a “white utopia.” When Oregon joined the union, in 1859, it became the only state with an outright ban on Black people. Later, redlining policies and urban-renewal projects displaced many African-Americans, a process reprised by more recent waves of gentrification.

Danae is either heading toward legal defense or political career.
Maybe just a children’s party magician.

Is it me, or is Fern drawn with a different technique? A “different hand,” shall we say? She is too crisp compared to the other characters.

I’m impressed that Fern immediately saw through Danae’s thinking. Sharp analytical mind working with Danae? Ruh roh, scary stuff!
