Here’s the issue everyone is dancing around. When the white lady plays a historical black character, is she going to imitate black speech? There’s a whole heaping mound of historical issues there that I’ll be disappointed if I have to explain to you.

Have you ever been to a historical reenactment? People dress in period costume, and typically talk like they are the people they are portraying.

The whole story isn’t worth dedicating brain cells too, but you asked to hear from someone who disagrees.

I disagree.

Both the Library staff and the actress are both foolish and annoying and are both in the wrong. The library staff should have thought through their requested characters before asking certainly, but the fact she doesn’t see how it might be, ya know, just a little bit weird, is pretty telling for me.

And the lawyer reading an op ed and convincing her to sue, just puts a bad taste in my mouth. It’s like a legal trap kinda vibe.

At the end of the article the quote from the black actress I think eloquently summed up what feels weird about it.

As with 97% of problems (to quote Cool Hand Luke) “What we have here…is a failure…to communicate!”

TIL Ralph Nader has a podcast.

And is still alive.

America: home of the cowards.

Oh, gotcha! I’ll just throw my chamber pot out the window then.👍

Maybe. I’m not familiar with the location. Typically sewage follows roads so it seems possible to minimize the damage. There’s also a way of re-lining pipes without removing them.

Not saying RFK JR ain’t a nasty bitch, but it’d also be nice if we didn’t leach sewage into streams.

Seems like they should fix that sewage leak.

Sounds like the Israeli moved soldiers in ambulances, if you read your own quote.

At today’s market price that’d be $305,000. Not as much as I was expecting. Google says there’s approximately 62,000LBS of copper in the statue.

I once camped at a hick RV park on a lake. One of the RV’ers had erected a flag pole that had an American flag and below that a flag that read, “WELCOME TO THE SHIT SHOW.”

I think those flags should always fly together.

Idk man it was less than 200 yards. The military does qualifications out to 500 with the same caliber. Right after it happened every journalist was out there saying it was an impossible shot, which it wouldn’t be for a reasonably skilled shooter. If you look it up most folks are saying 5.56 is effective out to 600 and a skilled shooter can group at 1,000 or more.

Idk why I’m arguing about this the kid was a useless shithead, just wish he’d done better I suppose.

No he was well within range for a 5.56. the problem was his scope wasn’t sighted in correctly and he sucked at shooting. https://youtu.be/ulh88aBI0iU At about the 5 minute mark he gets into the incorrect zero.

Kind of a dick move to bring an animal from the Ice Age, back to experience global warming.

Is it possible to vote for a non-capitalist in America? I don’t think we’re given that option.

I’ve been having a hard time telling the difference between Dem incompetence or complicity.

K is common short hand for a thousand.

It’ll do that sometimes.

It’d be great if this was reported on while it was happening, instead of being sat on to get a juicy book deal.

He should get one free kill.

It is a confusing statement. I understood it to be basically that once he is guaranteed to be president, Putin will know his man on the inside will be in charge, and Putin can end the war/negotiate for favorable terms with the US as enforcer.

Trump can’t end it before the election, because there’s no guarantee he’ll win.

Trump thinks that makes him a brilliant negotiator, instead of what he really is which is a stooge that can be played like a fiddle.
