I think there’s a difference. Blackface has no redeeming qualities and is therefore indefensible. For some drag artists (not all, I don’t think), their art is tied to their sexual identity.

When guys like Giuliani do it, though, it’s just offensive.

And I see this on a VA FAQ: Veteran participation in state marijuana programs does not affect eligibility for VA care and services. VA providers can and do discuss marijuana use with Veterans as part of comprehensive care planning, and adjust treatment plans as necessary. https://www.publichealth.v...

Not that any of this matters to me. I can’t possess [marijuana] or use it since I’m retired from the military. And I don’t think I would even if I could. But I’m glad the folks who want it can have it. I haven't been following this thread, and just saw your post from three years ago. Is this still ...

I have a bank account with USAA, and I get all my insurance through them. This makes me happy. I can understand why a bank would not want to be caught up in an obvious grift.

Also, too, why isn’t Harry the one who’s being asked for the proof, since any claim to succession flows from him and not his wife? Back in the olden olden days they'd watch the couple doing "the act." This is the almost only way you can almost tell for sure whose offspring it is. Ew. Even...

Watched Baby Reindeer last night and this afternoon. What a ride! I talked to my husband about it. He has a hard time with stuff like this. He asked if I would watch it again. He wanted to see it. I warned him that it was disturbing. He made it through three episodes, then was like, OK, just tell m...

Enjoy Savannah! We love it there

A Gentleman in Moscow on Paramount +. I absolutely loved this book, and the series (so far) is incredibly faithful and so well-done.

Ok someone else needs to be traumatized with me. Just finished Baby Reindeer. I HAD NO IDEA. I posts about how good it was and finished something else up so I though why not. I don't normally watch stuff that has "comedy" in the description but hoo boy. what a ride Loved it! There was not...

Ripley on Netflix (Two stars) This is a remake of the 1999 movie The Talented Mr Ripley, told in eight parts, and presented entirely in black and white. The cinematography is beautiful. It was a good choice for this story, and it was well done. They honored the great B&W films of the past with ...

Harvey Weinstein's 2020 rape conviction overturned by New York appeals court Weinstein, 72, has been serving a 23-year sentence in a New York prison following his conviction on charges of criminal sex act. Harvey Weinstein’s 2020 rape conviction was overturned Thursday in New York, making way for a...

This is incomprehensible to me. How does appellate counsel challenge something on appeal if the arguments of counsel and the comments of the judge are not memorialized? If there's a chance to correct/augment the record, appellate counsel may be able to marshal a better "recollection" of w...

- A little light on his role as explainer of law, but thorough on What is Evidence? Judge often explain what the law is at the end, right before deliberations. I presume the concept is the jurors should be focused now on the facts (and deciding what they are), so they can later focus on applying th...

She should fly Air India sometime. She’d be looking back fondly on this experience. No information, or false information, is what they’re best at.

One thing that struck me as odd about that necklace is that there was enough room to put gratitude on one of those leaves or hearts or whatever they are, but they had to put an & on one? Why couldn’t they have used that space to put another mom-affirming word, like respect or something like that.

Greetings from Knoxville the halfway point on our drive to the North Fork. :biggrin: If you’re going up I-81 and looking for a good place to eat, stop at the Southern Kitchen in New Market, VA (exit 264, turn right, then right again on Congress Street, then it’s on the left). It’s traditional diner...

My take is jury nullification (I'm not alone in that belief, obviously--a few of the jurors agree, at least in retrospect). If so, how can you put the onus on judge or prosecution? Remember thee stunned look on Kardashian's face? It dragged on a lot longer than it needed to. The DA put Fuhrman on t...

I was on an airplane when the verdict was announced. The captain came over the airplane’s PA system and announced it. Stunned silence in the cabin. Later, I saw a video of mostly Black law students reacting joyously at the verdict, and my first thought was, “There are things going on in this country...

It’s not enough to identify the prior bad acts; the prosecution also has to explain the relevance (motive, absence of mistake, intent, etc.) The notice says that, if the defendant testifies, it will use these acts to impeach his credibility. Impeaching a witness's credibility always is relevant (su...
