Giving your kid a first name they will spend the rest of their lives needing to spell for other people is a stroke of evil genius. ‘No. It’s Chardonnay - S-h-a-r-d-o-n-e-y.’

kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them

The depiction of African Americans as apes is a very old trope, from even before Darwin’s Origin of Species and the debates around who deserved the term ‘human’. It was always calculated, deliberate and based on the bitterest prejudice. It is not done by accident.

The behaviour of those British people associated with Epstein was absolutely despicable - but where are those Americans associated with Epstein being held accountable for their behaviour? There’s something very big missing here.
