No. She lives in the Hamptons in a beach house. Basically, the opposite part of the country.
Yeah, Singin’ in the Rain had those well-known Black actors, Gene Kelly and Debbie Reynolds, starring.
Ah, thank you. I was thinking fake news.
Hungary thinks education is harming boys’ mental health.
Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes stopped his live broadcast in mid-broadcast last night, presumably because he was arrested. Local cops said it wasn’t him, the FBI had no comment.
“wasn’t them”
in the rednecks gotta red category, although the sheriff himself seems to be a genius
Well, not really, according to your article. It seems to have been just another item in the long, long list of situations that more or less conform to the following sequence of events:
-
some minor cultural trend originates in some minoritized community/ies and gets some general public attention, which leads to
-
some rich white celebrity getting lots of attention by publicly copying the trend without any acknowledgement of its origin, which leads to
-
some member(s) of the originating community publicly expressing exasperation about their community once again being treated as though it’s invisible or not worthy of acknowledgement, which leads to
-
a lot of white people on the internet mistakenly believing that some nutty wokesters are claiming that it’s racist for a white person to do something as simple and natural as frolicking in the rain.
Personally, I hadn’t been aware of the recent #BlackBoyJoy “frolicking challenge” until hearing about the Barrymore kerfuffle, and I think it sounds quite nice.
Of course, there is nothing whatsoever intrinsically racist about Drew Barrymore or any other white person enjoying being out in the rain and acting silly.
If I were somebody who’d been watching the #BlackBoyJoy “frolicking” thing since its inception, I’d be inclined to give this PR stunt a bit of an eyeroll too.
Slightly less than half of Oklahoma Republican voters think gay people should be stoned to death. Hooray!
That was clearly cultural appropriation of Rihanna’s Umburella.
Arizona GOP Nominee’s Past Post About Altering His Mom’s Absentee Ballot At 17 Ignites Firestorm
Abraham “Abe” Hamadeh, the Republican nominee for Attorney General of Arizona, ignited controversy after The Phoenix New Times unearthed message board posts he wrote as a teenager in which he suggested he had changed his mother’s vote on her absentee ballot, which is a crime.
When he was 17, Hamadeh frequented a forum popular among fans of libertarian Ron Paul, the former Congressman who campaigned in the 2008 presidential race.
More entertainment, er, information about this crime in the link.
But those guys are lampshading the fact that they’re frolicking whereas she’s just walking around and getting wet. That’s “frolicking”? If she at least showed herself playing in puddles…
In the AP article, “District officials told students they could only use names assigned at birth going forward.” Maybe Principal P.J. Smith, district superintendent Jeff Edwards, and Board vice president Zach Mader should shut down AP for not using their birth names.
Not to mention name changes for some married people, some adopted people, and those with name changes for personal preference. I had a friend who had to change both first and last name legally as a term of a large inheritance. Ooh, and how about that House of Windsor? Or the patriarch Abraham?
Now I want to know about your friend who changed their name to inherit.
Terms of a great-uncle’s will. My friend wouldn’t go into detail so I have always assumed the change was to that of a beloved deceased relative of great-uncle, and, one hopes, not that of a beloved horse or dog.
He had to change it to Benito Mussolini.
I was thinking the name change was to something like Bozo the Clown.
“I am now legally known as Poopsie the Curious Walrus. It’s too long a story to explain why.”
