This "scandal" seems to have popped up in 2023--April 14, 2023, on NBC news, to be precise.
The actress is Sydney Elizebeth Agudong. She's happa--Filipino/Polynesian and white American.
Just a ragebate/clickbait can't-even-dignify-it-by-calling-it-journalism article.
I once had an Egyptian (in Egypt) tell me that he didn’t like America because, exact quote “there are too many blacks.”
This from a guy who could have been considered black or mixed in the US.
Racism around the world is pretty wild to those of us coming from a American/Euro worldview where racism is the Original Sin.
I think this was posted on here several months ago. Hilarious:

“Does It Hurt?”
Hah! I'm triggered.
I all seriousness, I haven't read any Sowell, and I don't really enjoy reading anything economic/social/political.
I do own several Greek and Roman stoic philosophy books (Meditations, Seneca, Epictetus) and "browse" them on a regular basis.
Beyond that, mostly fiction and programming texts.
Reminder that the "artist," "Sophie" Labelle is a diaperfur pedo who has been caught tracing photos of real babies for his perversions.
What in all hell??
This is why I just do not go on the neoboards. The word filter is too strict. It won't let you talk about periods or medical conditions/mental health either.
What kind of sick, degenerate pervert would even think of going on a kid-oriented virtual pet website to talk about periods and medical conditions.
Oh wait, question answered...sick, degenerate perverts.
Here's a list of (allegedly) the top 100 NIL valuations in college sports:

Now, I'm skeptical since none of this is public, but I think there's some basis to at least the ordering and rough numbers. I was interested to see how many of the top 100 were white. (E.g., 6 out of the top 10 and 11 out of the top 20)
Good lord, Wheel of Time was renewed for a third season? Everyone I know hated season 1 (or never checked it out) and I had not heard a peep about there even being a season 2. Ugh.
Severance is the only one. I enjoyed it.
Yeah, that is a real mystery. Part of me wants to believe it's actual true love?? I mean, she is a licensed helicopter pilot, so she at least has an interest beyond botox and plastic surgery.
Famous temple prostitutes in the ancient Middle East. Favorite sex partners being remembered in statue, artwork, etc (Emperor Hadrian and Antinous). Ottoman Sultans devoting art and miniatures of their favorite harem girls (and sometimes slave boys) for public consumption.
Bezos's bizarre yacht figurehead of his girlfriend complete with pointy nips and DSL? https://content.api.news/v3/images/bin/1c69ad99de4bfb8a059e69b743750c6a
Yeah, the powerful just love showing off who and what they're fucking on a given day.
One of my earliest experiences with networked computers was dialing up a local BBS in the mid 90s. It had a door program that opened when anyone connected of an animated ASCII Bill Clinton and “XYZ days remaining in the raw deal” (countdown till the election).
That was before the Internet was remotely popular and before normies ruined online spaces.
Good point! I forgot about that.
A lot of mental gymnastics for the exact same outcomes..
Yeah, it's really dumb. The banks basically pay some Muslim Imam DEI bux to get their blessing and then they're good to go offering Islamic compliant loans.
On a normal mortgage you pay principal and interest amortized over many years.
With an Islamic mortgage, when you purchase a property, you have the purchase price of the property and then a bank fee. That bank fee is then split over many years. Exactly like interest. But it's a fee.
I've over simplified, but that's basically it.
It wouldn't surprise me at all. Things have to have changed since I was there. Additionally, I was not deeply under cover. The really deeply under cover people can spend a career working for CIA and literally never once come to HQ. I imagine they gv\ave the DO agents different rules.
If CIA cared that much they'd tell their people not drive to work with their phones in the car. Google/Apple, telecom, and insurance companies know who nearly every employee is.
They did when I worked there (briefly, 15 years ago).
They, at the time, told people to take the batteries out of their phones before they got close to HQ. They said even back then that they had evidence of foreign services utilizing cellphone towers with malicious tracking devices. I guess cell phone towers are basically public so any company, or shell company, is allowed access. Anyway, you were supposed to take the battery out because that just made your cellphone "disappear" as if it lost signal, ran out of battery, etc. If you turned off your phone it sends a "shutting down" signal which they thought was more suspicious.
I have no idea how they manage things now that cellphones rarely have removable batteries. No phones were allowed to come into the building, you had to leave them in your car. People who needed to be on call had pagers--in the 2010s~!
Another good one was being able to figure out who was CIA or military based on their strava runs in Afghanistan and elsewhere.
CIA is anal as fuck about releasing the names of just about anyone who works there. The head of what used to be called the Directorate of Operations (DO) and is now the NCS (National Clandestine Service) -- the spying division -- used always be undercover, for instance. A very large percentage of CIA employees have a random cover name they use for interagency emails, etc.
I was basing my statement on these quotes:
"What I will say, in order to illustrate the shocking recklessness of this Signal conversation, is that the Hegseth post contained operational details of forthcoming strikes on Yemen, including information about targets, weapons the U.S. would be deploying, and attack sequencing."
I don't think this is particularly serious, but it is, nonetheless stupid as fuck and a huge mistake.
This reporter being added to the Signal chat seems to be a simple accident (not negligence) and they only discussed at most Secret info, which isn't required to stay in a secure area.
Hard to say. If it was discussing operational details and information that was gained via TS means (SI, etc) then technically it all could have been under TS.
Agree 100% about Hillary.
How the fuck does someone invite a journalist into the group chat and no one notices? Crazy
Of course they do. But do the secure options work between military and all the other people involve? Are they as easy to use or as good (user features) as as convenient? No, but they are secure.
Who knows, maybe everyone was using hardened phones already. Either way, major fuckup. Anyone who freaked out over Hillary's email server should be really upset by this too.
Same etymology, the Greek word for circle is kuklos, and the Ku Klux Klan was probably a derivation from that (a social circle).
When I was a kid, my mom used to go to used bookstores and fill up a grocery bag with harlequin romance novels to give to my grandmother. Grandma read lots of other stuff too, but she loved the bodice rippers.. Nothing new here!
Yep, typical conspiracy nut—just keep moving those goal posts, and DARVO when you’re caught.
The historiography of Nile-Euphrates is nil.
I don’t know what HIAS is, but sure, those are great targets.
Got it. The Israeli flag, adopted more than a century ago, references the Oded Yonon plan from 1982. It also doesn’t say what you claim.
Typical for conspiracy theories you quickly fallback to nonsensical personal attacks.
I kind of think there's something to be said for the "hybrid vigor" argument. Certain racial combinations do seem to have the potential to create some really hot individuals.
