A gray morning. Kuro, a mixed black 120 lb dog standing in shallow water on the beach. SF and the Golden Gate Bridge are in the background.

Kuro, a big black dog, sitting on a trail with his mouth open. Another black dog peeks behind him, and it looks like he’s winking.

May he get the medical treatment he deserves (also, what happened to not taking notes of a criminal conspiracy?)
Scott Adams, formerly known for being euginist in public, tweets he has cancer and asks for the president’s help. Robert Kennedy, another person to promote euginist ideas is willing to assist

להרגיל לקולר זו לא בעיה, הבעיה זה כשאוטיס יוצא מהבית עם קולר וחוזר בלי. אני כבר קונה קולרים באריזות של עשרים כדי שלא אצטרך להזמין כל שבוע.

A reproduction of an old Navy poster is hanging in my office.
The listing of it, I now found, was removed from the National Archives website (used to be catalog.archives.gov/id/739394).
I wonder why, as from the clips y'all posted here, I had the impression the war minister was all for manly men.
1944 U.S. Navy recruitment poster showing a shirtless sailor standing before a submarine control panel filled with gauges and valves. The sailor gives the viewer a come hither look. Text in red, blue, and black reads 'LEARN TO OPERATE A $7,000,000 SUB' above and 'Join the submarine service'

לא מעט סטריאוטיפיים גזעניים ואנטישמיים. חלקם עדיין בספרים, חלקם טושטשו במהדורות מאוחרות, לא תמיד באופן מלא או מוצלח.

A slide shown before Looney Toons cartoons: "The cartoons you are about to see are products of their time. They ,ay deceipt some of the ethnic and recial prejudices that were commonplace in american society. These depicions were wrong then and are wrong today. While the following does not represent the Warner Bros. view of today's society, these catroons are being presented as they were originally created, because to do otherwise would be the same as claiming these prejudices never existed"

A frame from "the social network": Sean Parker (Justin Timberlake) is standing in an open space, with the caption "Drop the 'the'. Just Ethernet it's cleaner". The word "Ethernet" is crudely pasted over the text below it

Kuro, a big black mutt, looking directly at the camera. His mouth is open and he looks either happy or all slobbery. His ears are flappy.
