How Ken Burns Turned The American Revolution Into Woke Propaganda
Alexander Muse

https://newsletter.amuseonx.com/p/how-ken-burns-turned-the-american


Personally, I didn't feel like The American Revolution was too "wokey". I mean, no more than the rest of Burns' series are. Pretty easy to make the case that his work is "balanced". I certainly didn't feel like it was designed to make people hate America.

This is a great country. But like just about any country, we have had some bad moments. Instead of whitewashing over them, we can study and learn from them. Plenty of room to become even greater.

The biggest problem with The American Revolution was that it was a bit of a snooze fest. I fell asleep while watching it on two different evenings. Not sure what percentage of the whole thing I saw; I think I gave up, at some point. It sort of felt like assigned homework. He should have included a few strategically placed car chases in there, to liven things up.

You're the last person I'd imagine would be upset with someone else making money.

You call it grift, I call it capitalism

It was sneaky woke. A bunch of stuff went right passed me on first watch but upon being alerted to stuff you then realize the soft but persistent bias.

Tough afternoon. Stopped in Novato at a place I've seen before offering $2 Taco Tuesday special - Mi Pueblo. Standard fair, but the colorful interior, Christmas lights, whimsical Latin artwork, and Christmas music is wonderful. A great mixture, American classics, Gramma Got Runover, Rudolph, and some numbers I've never heard before. I'll be back ...

Their seafood soup looks interesting, looks like a CalMex version of Duarte's cioppino in Pesacdero:


7 Mares
Seafood soup mix with octopus, shrimp, clams, scallops, fish, crab, potatoes & carrots.

He really should stick to restaurant reviews.
He's much better doing that.

Although there are better Mexican places in that San Rafael/Novato corridor.

The Christmas vibe was perfect, homey, local, and they were unexpectedly gracious and kind.

The "vibe" is always important to me.
Whether it is a coffee shop or a restaurant.

Very nice! Looks a lot like my first bike, '78 80cc Fantic Motor, was a bit underpowered as that engine was put on their 125cc frame right after new regulations pushed the 125cc limit up to 18 year olds, but was a good beginner bike, had some pep at high rpms, very well suspended with twin Marzocchi shocks.




Does that Bultaco have some sentimental value, because the Japanese 1980s MX bikes really were better and much easier to find and maintain in CA...

Don't get over to the North Bay much.
Need to hit Tomales Bay soon though.
