Uh, Resetera suddenly loves Pelosi again?

It's because she did something hollow and performative (ripping up the speech on camera), it's their favorite kind of political activism.

[HaughtyFrank]

People don't want Californians because it drives up real-estate prices to the stratosphere. Austin is soooo freaking expensive compared to what it used to be, no long affordable by Texas standards/non-tech salaries.

I love it. This is how you make states turn blue/purple.

I'm not talking about pushing out rich I'm talking about people who vote blue spreading out to the rest of the state. A lot of rich democrats will be pouring into Austin keeping it blue but forcing current blue inhabitants to other parts of Texas.

You really don't know what you're talking about.

It's my hypothesis.

These books are royalty free.  It costs the publisher next to nothing and they recieve all the profits.  Normally these books are like $2.00.   But if you make an ostensible show of black characters on public domain books, you can charge more and keep all the money.  Probably a lot easier than going through the work of showcasing black novels for BHM.  Woke capitalism doesn't pander to extremists, it goes the path of least resistance to make easy money.

I'm like, 99% sure this wasn't some corporate woke signal, but the initiative of - probably minority - book nerds who work at barnes and noble who thought it would be neat to put a spin on some classics they themselves enjoyed and maybe even that they themselves identified with in some way while reading as part of an initiative they were already going to run to try and get people picking up classics for fun and not because they were told to at school.

featuring a lot of books by minority authors which don't really sell because they're not that recognizable and the promotion ends up a bust

or featuring a lot of classic books the masses will recognize, except will do a double take at seeing the minority cover and bring the meaning of bhm into sudden sharp focus, and maybe even sell a few of them, and end up with that thought-provoking minority artwork publicly displayed in houses and libraries all over the place as the promotion is considered a resounding success

[Uncle]

Twelve classics, including Romeo and Juliet, The Secret Garden, Moby Dick, The Wizard of Oz, Peter Pan, Frankenstein, The Count of Monte Cristo, and Three Musketeers were chosen after 100 books were run through a custom AI system created by TBWA to see if the author ever identified the protagonist’s skin color or ethnicity.

a) this is really cool

Better for whom, though?  Showcasing books that are good and don't sell well is better for Black History Month. The Yellow House or Solitary are genuinely fantastic, award-winning books written by black authors that didn't sell well, the latter being an important book that's relevant to but also extends to issues beyond race.  They can do a lot better than selling Mary Shelley's Frankenstein as a novelty because it's easy to resell covers and earn 10x over the overhead on royalty free books.

The AI scanning for descriptions of characters didn't determine the creature wasn't explicitly described as white though; it said Frankenstein wasn't.

The creatures appearance is explicitly described, frankenstein himself is much less so (its basically "he didnt look like an eskimo")

the 'monster' is routinely described as 'the creature' not 'monster', as in 'thing that was created' rather than as in 'creature feature'.

Right that's what I mean:   I think their criticism with Frankenstein is different from Moby Dick, in that they're not bothered about the inaccuracy and improbability of a black creature being in the narrative, but the implication of the creature looking like a black man outside of what the author wrote or what the AI could find.
