    I went through a SimSoc program a few years ago. It was fascinating to see how quickly shifted to norms based on what “color group” they were in. Despite everyone in the group of 50 some being college educated and many with advanced degrees, almost none could think outside of what their group dynamic was.

    I did as well. Also watched "The Wave" when it aired as part of ABC's After School Specials....then graduated from the same school as Bruce Davison (star of the Wave).

    I showed the Wave in a class. There was a German exchange student, tall blonde kid, who started saluting me with the Wave's salute. It was funny in the moment, but looking back on it, there's some cognitive dissonance I have.

    Tesla sez employees can take off Juneteenth unpaid. (Why would you need permission?) If Musk didn't have bad looks, he wouldn't have any look at all.
