grief tragedy sympathy hope industry

An industry that loves to tell people who their heroes are/should be.

Thanks to the grief tragedy sympathy hope industry, the aviation museum that always had a name good enough for the residents of the city that went there had to change it's name to honor a guy they were told was their hero, rather than anybody asking them who their personal heroes were. Perhaps their personal heroes were a family member or someone from closer to home than Texas, but since nobody asked them, they were forced to adopt a guy they were told was their hero as their personal hero, without any room for anyone else (since many of them thought the name of the museum was good enough as it was, without being forced to change, and it was going to get changed to a preselected name chosen by the "new guard" instead of by the residents).

Instigator

Somebody that riles people up for no reason and thinks they are stirring a pot up when really other people that know them well think they are a joke.

People could see that the dork that thought she was Mary Sue from the movie Pleasantville was an instigator once bricks started flying through people's windows. Since they had loved their home and were happy and peaceful there before she arrived, (and since it was never 1950's Pleasantville) they knew that they would be happy again when she went away, especially since she wasn't even from their home (though the one she thought of as being David really was). They were not there to celebrate her, roll down red carpets for her to walk over, or anything else, since nobody there owed her anything.

Arrogance

Convincing people in an area they need you because you believe they do is arrogance. People that are home don't need a welcome from anybody else there, and nobody could make them unwelcome there, because they are home.

The artists didn't make the neighborhood cool with their art. The neighborhood was already cool and diverse before the art and gentrification. If anything, most people thought these artists were mostly dorks that saw the same dollar signs developers did. Arrogance was what made these folks think they were making anything cool.

Men's track

While a lot of people focus on what the men's track teams of the past did right and this one did wrong, they're not thinking about this group not only being the first to try and train through a pandemic where the Olympics was in danger of being cancelled, but also the first group not to have their families present. The little things like that make a difference people don't see on the big sounding, built up events people do see on TV. It's hard to know exactly what these guys were going through no matter what people saw on TV.

Men's track found a little rhythm before the games ended, hopefully they feel good about it.

Happy half hour

The time the bartenders give black people.

Bartender to black patrons- Since I am in a generous mood, I've decided to give you all one extra happy half hour, I will not cut you off early today.
White patron- You gave everyone else a full happy hour, how are they going to get happy in a half hour?

Shallow

Someone that seems fun or exciting on the surface (at least to some people, not all), but doesn't really care how many they lose or what the people look like that they lose (black, yellow, brown, white, alien) as long as they win beneath the surface.

People thought the shallow girl really cared about the causes posted all over the signs in people's yards that she was behind creating, or the rallies and protests over causes related to incidents she was behind orchestrating, but in reality, she cared only about having the power to walk all over people that stood up to her and taking anything people didn't say yes to giving/sharing with her, as the word no was not an option for them to choose in her mind. That, and dollar signs.

Howard

The name of the duck that stood between the alien invasion and Earyh.

Aliens- That's all they got is it? A duck named Howard, a geek, and a weirdo, they're fucked! We will unleash a part of hell and all of darkness on them by making a movie about this.
