So Gone With The Wind has been pulled from HBO Max, following from the pulling of Little Britain from all streaming services. Looks like the old Tom and Jerry with the black parlor maid is under threat.

I better finish my collection of Tin Tin books before they get pulled and the value of those books skyrocket.

Temporarily pulled.
It said the film would return to the platform at an unspecified date with a "discussion of its historical context".

And that's the story of why I'm not allowed near pregnant women for the next few weeks.

In the least surprising move by a massive bigot, Trump isn't even going to consider renaming military bases named after Confederate generals because it's "a Great American heritage". The Confederacy fought mainly for the preservation of slavery.

I know there's been a lot of talk of optics over the last couple of weeks; would it kill him just to say he'd think about it even if he doesn't personally believe it necessary? He's just constantly publicising how big an arsehole he is.

To be fair if he did do something along those lines he might think he was a sleeper antifa agent.

Trump is starting his rally campaign on Juneteenth..........at Tulsa. The man is hideous.

Not to sound like a conspiracy nut but I'm guessing one of Trump's main advisors is probably a member of a white supremacy group or something similar and easily manipulates the orange Edwin into stuff like this. Actually they all sound like they're white nationalist.

I have no difficulty believing that a member of Trump's staff is a white supremacist, but frankly I find it difficult to believe that Trump himself isn't. You just need to look at his history and that of his company.

https://www.vox.com/2016/7/25/12270880/ ... sm-history
1991: A book by John O’Donnell, former president of Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, quoted Trump’s criticism of a black accountant: “Black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day. … I think that the guy is lazy. And it’s probably not his fault, because laziness is a trait in blacks. It really is, I believe that. It’s not anything they can control.” Trump at first denied the remarks, but later said in a 1997 Playboy interview that “the stuff O’Donnell wrote about me is probably true.”

For anyone like me who’s struggling to comprehend how bad policing is in the US (and why), this is essential reading, along with the link mentioned in the article which I’ve included separately:
