They’re doing it supposedly to save water. Coz there’s a drought hurr durr. Never mind the fact that the large outdoor swimming pool is still in full use. Never mind the fact that REAL grass is a carbon sink and removes it from the atmosphere while Astroturf doesnt and also reflects the heat from the sun.
No - I’m sure this is a cost cutting move by Disney to reduce labor and maintenance costs but it sure is a feel good story to sell to stupid leftists.
Worse - this is a racist insult being trumpeted by white leftists who’ve been brainwashed to think they’re “ally’s”
It implies that they didn’t get there by their skills but because they overcame their RACE’ inherit traits?!
(Because they both came from wealthy families)
In that decision we must always remember as council we’re not the ‘Thought Police.’ We are not the ones that ban books,” said Mayor Walter Sendzik.
“It’s not our decision, even though it’s our facilities. But if we can have a policy, those who are making the choices for selection, they’ll be able to look at it and say, ‘Here’s what’s best for our community moving forward.

She's upset that this white woman is having fun and being carefree because this black woman ISN'T (and can't be, because that's what she's been told for the past 3 years)
She, literally, doesn't understand what she's saying. She's linking words and phrases together to emote her feelings and thinking she's making a cognizant argument (like those big talking folks on CNN do) when she's just linking metaphors.
Shaka, when the walls fell, ok child? do Better!
EDIT --
I've since found the context for this. I gather there was a Tik Tok trend started by a black man "frolicking" through a grassy field which caused other black men and women to follow suit.
Going back to my observations above - I understand the source of her objections now but I think this ultimately confirms my viewpoint. She's talking metaphor!
Tell me you don't actually believe this.
I don't know - this was the first I had ever heard of it so I was doing this thing called 'research'
First mistake is assuming that the puke on Wikipedia is 'scholarly'.
Actually I don't presume it's 'scholarly' and I go in knowing it's got a leftist bent - especially in politics. What surprised me more that we've gone beyond leftist angles to outright marxist thought control and I've got the hard proof right here and not only did they defame the article and his memory with the marxist/racist 'lens' they even scrubbed the assassination story which would be 'inconvenient' to communist forces.
Thanks - that was part of the reason I was trying to do the research.
My knowledge of Patton was basically what I knew from the movie and a few historical stories bandied about and the whole assassination angle was new to me.
At face value though I don't see how they could've assassinated him with the car other than it being an accident. is the theory that they beat him up and made up the car story? (The original wiki article has the curious blurb that only his wife was allowed to see him for the 2 weeks as he lay dying - you'd think he would've at least told her?) EDIT: Nevermind, I see from another post that he was recovering from the wreck when he died of a heart problem while in the hospital... convenient.
Obama's a good chunk of it - but the first seeds of insanity really start around the Clinton era. Bush the First had squandered the gains Reagan made, being more of your typical golf club GOP type so Clinton was able to get in with a slick pop culture campaign and the leftists were ready to party. I STILL remember the party after he took the oath of office (televised, of course because this was an 'important' moment) where some twit got up and begged Clinton to be the "loving father the country needs right now").
CNN was a new fixture at the time and had been hound dogging Bush and other government officials and exposing government corruption. So when Clinton started making controversial moves and starting wars, it was expected that CNN would hound dog them too... except... they didn't. Thus giving them the name 'Clinton News Network' and Clinton could do no harm. The other MSM followed suit and it was blatantly obvious compared to the 'guardians of the 4th estate' mentality that media had cultivated for the previous 12 years under the GOP.
Whitewater, stories of sexual assault (with actual women coming forward and testifying actual rape) were outright ignored, let alone the actual government corruption at the time including the IRS going after GOP and conservative members and initiating that gays couldn't be expelled from the military unless they were blatant about it.
That's how Rush Limbaugh was able to rise as fast as he was - because the media was basically ignoring all GOP/Conservative thought and pushing a strong leftist bent.
Then the 2000 election hit where the Democrats narrowly lost the state of Florida and the DNC demanded recount after recount after recount and changes to "ballot" curing until the SC said, "No, you can't change the rules in the middle of the election." and put an end to that and there was talk of sending alternate electors to THAT count too as well as having electors change their vote. (But no charges there)
Then 9/11 - and that was the first real sign of trouble as MANY leftists celebrated the attacks. That led to leftists trying to block any and all actions that Bush took as anti-American (going to start WW3) rising to Code Pink, etc; Military service members commit acts of treason against the military by leaking secrets on the internet but are openly applauded and defended by the DNC. Hillary Clinton started grooming herself for the run at this point and she would've gotten it too except for that wascally Obama but McCain has a decent 5% lead coming up for the election and just weeks before the election...
Suddenly Visa says they're days away from being able to process credit cards because they're out of liquid capital because the central banks have no cash and the markets collapse and Target follows with they'll have to close all the stores if that happens. Obama goes "not my problem, it's all the GOPs fault", Bush Jr. is caught with his pants down and McCain makes a feeble attempt to look like he's doing something when the only solution is to crash the entire economy.
So Obama wins, the DNC sweeps the government and here's where things go wild. More 'stimulus' legislation is passed that floods the executive branch to be used to 'create jobs' (which never happens) Suddenly the IRS goes after conservatives again, wars spring up all over and code Pink disappears, the school curriculum gets completely reworked and Obama creates 'Czars' to oversee government bureaucracies and ensure they're doing what Obama wants. Meanwhile Obama creates a new bureaucracy to work closely with hollywood and media companies (like MTV, Disney, etc;) to promote 'US standards' Obama moves to allow gays to serve openly. During this time Code Pink type groups shift to Occupy Wall Street groups and their protest targets change. Communist type training starts with this OWS protesting including setting up "anarchy zones" Obama sees no problem with this. Pelosi says we should pay people not to work so they can be artists! Gay marriage gets passed and that breaks the dam that ramrods legislation through to make gay people a new protected class and that immediately means that transgenders are included and everyone has to accommodate them and that spurs on even more attacks against churches and (surprisingly) feminist elements. Meanwhile Hillary is STILL operating behind the scenes and directing the government.
And Hillary was once again groomed and ready to take over the helm and...
Trump won...
We didn't start the fire... It was always burning Since the world's been turning
Because Daisy is trans and "better" than them because "she"'s trans and needs to be protected.
It's their screwed up utopian ideology overriding their common sense and factual knowledge and reality just smacked them in the face.
In every other generation we've all had to mess with puberty and endure primal sexual thoughts/impulses interfering with our "intellectual"/moral selves (unless you're the type that just gave in!). it's been an age-old problem of getting horn dogs under control for millenia - first baked into religion and then the laws of government. Now you have the first generation taught a whole new model of sexuality that says that all sex and relationships is controlled by the higher order brain (it's not) with new rules/modes of interaction (and hence why most of them are still virgins) and this reality just punched through like a train wreck where a BIOLOGICAL MALE behaved like a BIOLOGICAL MALE sewing his oats. -mic drop- (oh - and I'm old enough to have been at these cons in the before times and what happened here is NOTHING compared to the stuff I saw back then and, yes, back then that dude would've been pushed off, decked or arrested)
I thought it poignant that the author spends more time illustrating the reporters being attacked and their diversity badges, rather than the threats themselves and then realized its because he doesn't care about the threats but that his ideology is being attacked.
He doesn't say - we're reporting what we want, go start your own paper or don't read us. He literally buttresses this 4th grade screed with essentially "my ideas are good for you and you need to hear them because we're better than you so stop attacking us and submit."
This is a "forum" and all of us are hiding behind personas. While there's some overlap social media is a different thing.
"Social Media" is a place where you post what you ate, selfies and publish your life and do a whole lot of virtue signaling. It's tied to 'you'. That's why I don't do social media as I have no desire to publish my life (and it has ostracized me somewhat). I do have a linkedin account for purely professional reasons and I'm constantly amazed at what a cesspool it's become and how people will just spew their idiocy on there as if that isn't going to affect their employability.
