Listening to "America" from 'West Side Story'. Awesome, funny and TRUE.
Originally the libretto featured Irish & New but in the wake of the Holocaust that was deemed too sensitive.

London Metropolitan Police chasing phone snatchers: do they REALLY need more than a dozen masked cops with crash helmets, riot gear crashing into a house to perform an arrest? REALLY?!?

When I see Sam Jackson toast Sly Stone "My Man!" in the ad for Tulsa King, I think 😣.
These guys are gangsters responsible for drug addiction, prostitution, gambling, protection rackets & assorted serious violence.
I KNOW, I know, it's fiction, but all the same. 😱

Skepchick (YouTube) was very good today. Unfortunately some of my heroes are tainted & she rightly exposed them. 😣
Krauss, Chomsky 😱 & Feynman😭.
I disagree that it's rape *just* for being < 16 but there is NO JUSTIFICATION for this sexual ABUSE.
We need the names. The victims need JUSTICE.
