I just want to point out that you can't go swimming in a pool of gold coins like Donald's uncle Scrooge McDuck does. You'll break bones if you try to dive in like that. The gold coins don't move out of your way with minimal impact force like water does. It's completely ********ing unrealistic.
I will say however that walking around with a shirt but no pants is very liberating, so there's that.
It is when you're faking an Aussie accent to a bunch of drunk girls at K-State and you tell them you like their country twang...

Is the argument here that Disney was racist 90 years ago when they made Donald Duck white? Or are you saying that the “black” ducks should just be pure duck, without mom’s hair?
Disney was racist 90 years ago. Disney made Donald Duck's feathers white. I see nothing racist about white feathers. FSF is drawing a connection there, not me. Disney has loads of shit that needs editing or destroying altogether, but this is way down the list, if on the list at all.
I do nothing. I only posted it to show how a non white Dutch kid created a Duck character that got accepted.
Interesting story from today's grauniad... Britain’s first black voter was in 1749, 25 years earlier than thought, and ran a pub John London, a landlord, paid rates so could take part in Westminster byelection despite being called a ‘blackamoor’ It's interesting in that his vote was challenged by the losing candidate who suggested he was a 'furriner', (sound familiar?), so shouldn't have been able to vote. But it's also interesting in that, because he was a business/property owner, he was relatively privileged in the sense that he was one of the 14% of people that could vote... most people couldn't.
Well, we can enter the entire MSG shitshow into the pantheon of recent racisms like "Haitians are eating the cats & dogs", "very fine people on both sides, both sides" and "it shouldn't cost that much to bury a Mexican!" Trump's not 1950s, he's more like 1850s. A true disgrace to the country in every way possible.
He really is. I hadn't heard the one about burial. In any case, Welcome to the America my folks made sure I knew had never really gone away.
Welcome to America https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/28/us/minneapolis-shooting-arrest-john-sawchak-davis-moturi/index.html Amid mounting community pressure, Minneapolis Police arrest man accused of shooting his neighbor. Racist white guy shoots black neighbor he had harassed for almost a year. After shooting the black guy, the cops take a week before arresting the shooter. Here is the money quote. “We’re not going to go in and bust his door down with guns blazing and get into a deadly force situation,” O’Hara said. An understaffed police department and high crime load did not help the situation, he added.
There's some more excellent quotes in that article. "Police had been trying since April to arrest <the white guy>". Gosh, I don't think they were trying very hard.
They let the White harass this poor man and then shoot him. The White was not going to be arrested until someone spoke up. He will walk. What was the nature of the harassment- racial/political?
