I remember these two. This wasn't the only time they were in drag. I can still hear #BobHope's voice in my head, complaining about how his girdle is killing him, from one of his many TV shows.

You also have:
* "Uncle Milty" #MiltonBerle, who was famous for his #drag comedy.

* #FlipWilson, who repeatedly donned a dress to play "Geraldine Jones" with hilarity.

* #DustinHoffman as #Tootsie.

* #RobinWilliams as #MrsDoubtfire.

* The entire cast of #MontyPython.

* Kids watched an animated #Mulan passing as a male and #BugsBunny in drag.

* And who can forget #HarveyKorman on "The #CarolBurnett Show", as "Mother Marcus" in "As the Stomach Churns."

For the #RightWing, #DragShowBans have never been about the children or the clothes or the #comedy.

They have always been about the cruelty.

Sorry to see this in Canada.
2 photos of CPC MPs Colin Carrie, Leslyn Lewis, & Dean Allison posing with German AfD MEP Christine Anderson on Feb 21 2023 as part of her "What Would Christine Anderson Do?" cross-country Canadian tour visiting freedom convoy supporters.
The AfD sits in the same political family as France's far-right National Front and Austria's far-right Freedom Party. Nigel Farage, former leader of UKIP, helped in the AfD election campaign.

Hannah Arendt observed of the Nazis that they didn't lie because they believed it, or even because they expected YOU to believe it. They lied to say what would have to be true to justify what they intended to do.

Facebook & Twitter combined stages 1 & 2 (very efficient of them), and are now in stage 3.

I won't lie. I'm going to enjoy watching them die.

Facebook is going to start charging for verification just like Twitter did. Let's review a little history.

In the beforetimes, Internet communities were built around message boards, which were funded by begging users for money.

Then came social media.

Twitter and Facebook made their money by stealing your private data and selling it to marketers, who used that private info to manipulate you.

I don't know who needs to hear this but

The postal service exists to deliver letters and parcels to people
Not to make money for shareholders

The transport system exists to move people to where they need to go
Not to make money for shareholders

The water, gas, and electricity supplies exist to provide people vital utilities
Not to make money for shareholders

The healthcare system exists to ensure (and that's ENsure, not INsure) the health of the population
Not to make money for shareholders

Shareholders in vital public services are a vampiric drain on those services

Capitalism is a disease

@aral

Capitalism is the belief that rich people need more yacht money,

More than poor people need food money.

Capitalism is the belief that a handful of psychopath billionaires trying to become psychopath trillionaires is somehow the best possible thing for all of us.

Fuck that.

Fuck that very much.

“Pandemic benefits, which included emergency and recovery benefits, broadened Employment Insurance criteria and one-time top-ups to refundable tax-credits, including the Canada Child Benefit, helped to stave off people falling into poverty,” the report reads. “During this time of crisis, Canada reached record low poverty and child poverty rates...”

Some Valentine’s Day gift ideas. Thank me later. 😍

Capitalism is about keeping power and wealth in the hands of a tiny minority. It is about the exploitation of people, it doesn't care about the elderly, the disabled or those with health issues. People, natural resources and the environment are to be exploited. It places profit and growth above all else. There is a valid claim that capitalism sees wars and economic instabilities as opportunities to make yet more profit.
Is it time we looked for an alternative?

The second amendment was written when African Americans were deemed 3/5ths of a person.

We need to grant respect to living individuals instead of worshipping dead ghosts.

The #Autistic spectrum is not a line.

It is a series of "knobs" set at various levels for each manifestation of #Autism.

It is endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful.

Also, I don't care how disruptive an 11-year-old is being, there's really no reason to arrest him.
