Decided to be a masochist and look up Halfbreed by Cher today because I wanted to know a little more than lyrics. Didn't get the info I was after, since I forgot to look it up as I was too busy laughing for the two minutes it took to finish reading this:
https://archive.ph/revbK - The song offers a scenario in which oppressive whites call her "Indian squaw", and (falsely) claims that Native Americans did not accept her as one of their own because she was considered white according to "Native law".[3] (However, the Cherokee are a matrilineal society, meaning a child born to a Cherokee mother is accepted as Cherokee, no matter the nationality or ethnicity of the father; such a situation could arise in the other direction with a native father and white mother.)[4]
Someone actually took the time to type that. Is there a wojak for this person? I need to believe there is. God, can you imagine this person's life? I can't, it hurts to laugh this hard with my current back and neck injury.
Second bit of humor came from a recommended youtube vid. I wanted to get the short and sweet story about the SS Arctic instead of a 38 minute cinematic self-sucking blowjob of some fucking Michael Moore wannabe. Cross-checking did not fail to deliver:
https://archive.ph/WnRIV - the principle of "women and children first" was ignored. From around 400 on board (250 passengers, 150 crew), 24 male passengers and 61 crew survived; all the women and children died. No one was called to account for the disaster, and no official enquiry was held.
I know that last line is supposed to be a statement of fact, but it felt more like some bitchy comment made by an immature woman who just lost an argument. Love that they couldn't give shit about the men who died, but 'it's supposed to be women and children, they didn't care about the women and children! What about the women and children!' Throw in the typo and I busted out laughing.
https://archive.ph/x2cXE - Black rapper got his charges of dropped after he got in a fight with a cop and the illegal gun he was forbidden by law to have went off and shot the cop in the leg. He fired it. Got 250k bail, paid in cash, mocked the cops. Bronx DA said "he Dindu Nuffin wrong, him a good boy, go free lil jail bird", despite being arrested for violating his bail and parole for a previous crime.
https://archive.ph/Mk7kG - Bitch held a black man down while her brothers stabbed and beat him to death. Manhattan DA saw nothing wrong with this and dismissed her murder charges.
These are only the most recent, there's been a shit tonne more. NYC is really just another third-world shithole and needs to be leveled.
Posting the whole article because Archive.ph is being a cunt tonight.
Local News Buffalo shooting: Gov. Kathy Hochul calls on social media companies to monitor content more closely after attack was live-streamed newyork

NEW YORK -- Gov. Kathy Hochul is calling on social media companies to do more when it comes to monitoring their content in the wake of a deadly mass shooting in Buffalo that was live-streamed by the alleged gunman.
Officials say from the moment the suspect, 18-year-old Payton Gendron, pulled into the Tops Market parking lot, he was live-streaming what he was doing.
"He exited his vehicle. He was very heavily armed. He had tactical gear. He had a tactical helmet on. He had a camera that he was live-streaming," Buffalo Police Commissioner Joseph Gramaglia said.
As CBS2's Thalia Perez reports, the widely popular live-streaming service Twitch, which is owned by Amazon, has confirmed it was their platform the suspect used to live broadcast the shooting.
In a statement, a Twitch spokesperson said:
"We are devastated to hear about the shooting that took place this afternoon in Buffalo, New York. Our hearts go out to the community impacted by this tragedy. Twitch has a zero-tolerance policy against violence of any kind and works swiftly to respond to all incidents. The user has been indefinitely suspended from our service, and we are taking all appropriate action, including monitoring for any accounts rebroadcasting this content."
The governor blasted social media platforms following the shooting, demanding companies be more vigilant in monitoring their content.
"This execution of innocent human beings could be live-streamed on social media platforms and not taken down within a second says to me that there is a responsibility out there," she said.
This is not the first time Twitch was used to live-stream a violent attack. On Yom Kippur in 2019, live video of a deadly shooting at a synagogue in eastern Germany was streamed on the site. Two people were killed.
