Sorry to undo the effort of paying a domestic abuser $10 to own this poster, but I am going to lose my dang mind if I keep seeing multiple posters who appear to be Baloogan.

Agreed. Ben and Jerry's has been surprisingly good about addressing stuff like this and gay marriage, and it feels far less forced than when typical brands make statements that coincidentally tie in with their product.

i saw hamilton. first act A+, second act C- snooze fest.

best song is the one that isn't a rap sung by king george. the raps are good tho. not hundreds per ticket good but good.

play has bad roles for women though. the only women in the play are the ones hamilton fucks while he waits to get old enough to get shot. gently caress that second act is bad and long

still, not many people are willing to actually stick up for the blm movement right now. it's pretty great they were willing to be brave and stand on the right side of history while it was still risky to do so

Ben & Jerry's was founded by a couple of nice hippie dudes who wanted to sell ice cream, smoke weed, and bring social and economic justice to the masses. Even after they sold the company and retired, the ethos was still left over in their company's DNA.

yea that was...interesting to read

quote:

At Thursday’s LGBTQ X-Men panel a Romani fan asked the panel about the representation of Romani people in comics and how they are often characterized as thieves or unstable.

Peter David responded in an elevated voice that when he was in Romania he saw a child being dragged by its parent. The child was unable to stand because their legs were bent upwards.

David asked his guide what was going on. The guide told him that the family was Roma and that Roma parents broke their children’s legs so that they’d be more effective at begging.

David said that because of his experiences he does not want to hear about the representation of Romani people in comics. He refused to discuss the issue further and told the questioner to go away.

No other panelists responded. The moderator said something about wanting to keep the focus on positive things and the panel then resumed.

how come the national guard is all white?

why isn't it demographically representative of the demographics of the area they inhabit?

bussing in weekend warriors from wealthier suburbs to keep the poor blacks suppressed isn't a great look...
