Oh My: Ben Penn, The Bloomberg "Reporter" Who Proudly Smeared a Man as an Anti-Semite Just Because He's a Republican, Outed as Having Made a Watermelon Joke About Black People
Let's everyone send this to Bloomberg and demand comment.
In 2013, Penn tweeted that a Popeye’s-themed birthday cake made for a black man was not racist unless watermelon was featured as a side.Cancel this f***'s ass. By the way-- You can't pull the wool over AllahPundit's beta soy-eyes. He knows who's really to blame for this -- Trump, obviously.Wow pic.twitter.com/JTa7Ka509I

It's a historical thing. Poor former slaves grew watermelons and being able to grow and sell watermelon and keep the profits was a great source of pride, understandably. Racist Democrats, being general shitheads, took that point of pride and made it a point of scorn.
Nowadays it's just a stupid trope. Most people love watermelon. It's like making fun of a cop for loving doughnuts. Who doesn't love doughnuts?

the idea that living out your neuroses publicly is something one does not do.
it is a burden, it is a part of being truly socialized also.
very few people still feel the need to hold this particular more up, maybe more military veterans and active duty do so. it really is lost.

Actually, it goes much deeper than that. Watermelon, as a plant, is native to Africa -- only botanists know this bit of trivia. The slaves who arrived in North American recognized it as one of the few foodstuffs familiar to them. So it became a treasured, beloved favorite, since it was a rare reminder of the homeland. This love for watermelon was then passed on to later generations who were born here.

1. Nothing will be done to Penn because Cancel Culture flows one way.
2. It is so totally OK to vilify white, straight makes that the only means to counter-attack is if the hypocrite said or wrote something horrible about a preferred victim.
Something positive would be if the DOL supervisor who fired Olson got shitcanned but that ain't happening, either.
Violence may be the only answer left.

But I don't see people quitting their jobs/being fired every day, or even very often.

I have no idea, but being on the outside looking in, this whole affair looks like in-fighting among the nevertrump factions, both inside and outside the Administration.
The so-called journalists are fighting each other, and I don't think there's a lot of sincerity in their public pronouncements. Like there's an "inside" story that's not being reported. Something us little people aren't allowed to know.
But the people inside the bubble, they all know, and they're being cryptic about it.
My guess is, the guy did something else (some "sin," whether many of us would view it as a good or bad thing is beside the point), and they won't talk about whatever that is, so we're left with this bullshit story about some joke tweets.

Absolutely not. Their rules are retarded and stupid and do nothing but rush society towards tyranny - no matter who they are applied to. What you are doing is traditionally known as "cutting your nose off to spite your face". It is not constructive in any way. They are more than happy to suffer under their rules. THey love their rules. THey love the idiocy of their rules. Using their rules FOR ANY REASON only helps to reinforce and solidify their rules - which is a lose-lose situation.

I think Welles had the curse of the WunderKind, he was always told he was a Genius, and he always believed he was a Genius, and he always acted like he was a Genius and everyone else was idiots. And then he had to deal with his constant frustration that the people he had to work with didn't see it that way. And that the people he needed to get money from wanted him to do things THEIR way, not his way. He never could see why a True Genius should be treated so disrespectfully.

Curiosity works as a motive too. "House of War" was self-published but its three real reviews (not the antifa turd-flinging) are all 4/5.

At our local zoo this summer, one of the fun things to watch on a hot day was when the keepers would toss a chilled watermelon to the elephant. (okay we actually have 4 elephants, I think) That elephant would toss the entire thing into his mouth and pop it like a giant grape, you could tell he thought it was the best treat in the world.

Yep.
The "New Rules" look like the old ones.
There's a protected class and rules are not an impediment.
There's about only one response left, and it explains why Death Squads made such a splash in Latin America. When people are denied even the illusion of justice things reach their logical end. "No justice, no peace" appears ready to make a comeback. It probably will be ignited by an economic downturn but that's where all this is heading at a greater speed than even the most pessimistic of us anticipated.

Emotions should be listened to, but reason must rule them.
Posted by: Cato, Collectivism Delenda Est at September 04, 2019 12:32 PM (5hMDu)
The case for stoicism is pretty strong, and it goes like this (needless to say, this is an oversimplification):
Emotions are what people do when they impose expectations on others, and since the actions of others are beyond our control, it's best if we can stow (pun intended) the emotions, and instead respond with whatever actions of our own that we can, that will get us the best possible result in any given situation.
So it's really not about not having emotions, it's about recognizing them for what they are, and then having a mechanism in place to deal with them properly, so they don't get in the way.
It's an extraordinarily healthy approach to life, and it gets falsely labeled as not HAVING emotions... which is silly.

But the latest court filing contends even if Smollett did make a false report, there is no way the city can assert he would have known the city would investigate - and investigate it to the extent cops did.
"We contend the city is wrong," Quinlan said of the city's assertion that Smollett should have known the city would spend nearly 2,000 hours investigating. " . . . The mere fact somebody filed a police report doesn'\t presume the investigation will be done and certainly not to the extent of what the city is claiming.
"Smollett has no control over that," Quinlan added.

I don't know what she'll wind up doing, but as I said on another thread, I think Cruz could win something by coming at her from compassion. She's a sad, screwed-up, self-hating creature who deliberately provokes hatred all around her. She shaved her head to make herself less attractive. She's probably never experienced compassion up close.
I don't mean Cruz should go gentle on her or let her get away with anything, but if he addresses her as the damaged soul she is, he might at least change her mind about what/who conservatives are.

SF Board of Supervisors declare National Rifle Association a domestic terrorist organization

Later in the resolution, which the board passed unanimously, the NRA is blamed for causing gun violence. "The National Rifle Association musters its considerable wealth and organizational strength to promote gun ownership and incite gun owners to acts of violence," the resolution reads.
The resolution also claims that the NRA "spreads propaganda," "promotes extremist positions," and has "through its advocacy has armed those individuals who would and have committed acts of terrorism."
In addition to calling the NRA a domestic terrorist organization, the Board of Supervisors called on the city and county of San Francisco to "take every reasonable step to limit...entities who do business with the City and County of San Francisco from doing business" with the NRA.

There's about 99% certainty she was sexually abused as a child. Either by the Hollowwood machine, or somewhere else. Her behavior at the time indicated it. Today's behavior does as well.
Compassion is not a bad approach, but she's not going to accept it. It would appear she's spent her adult life outwardly blaming "the patriarchy" for what happened to her, and she won't be able to change anything until she acknowledges how much she blames and hates herself.

When I was a wee tyke, my mother would take my brother and I to day care at the local YWCA, I adored the woman who would take care of us, Mrs. Flipper - we thought her name was funny because it was just like the dolphin. I always remembered her, because she was wonderful with kids. Years later, when I was grown, somehow she came up when I was talking with my mom about old times, and she said "did you ever know that she was Henry Flipper's granddaughter?" Well no, I was little, of course I never knew that, mom!

Wow, are they dredging the past! They are suing over McConnell refusing to hold hearings for Merrick Garland. (btw, this is a good example of why the courts stretch things out and make them take forever; some cases become so stupid and dated with the passage of time that they're not even worth pushing anymore)
The Judge will fiddle around, and go through the motions, but the final ruling is guaranteed: Under the Constitution, the Senate sets its own rules and it's own procedures, and neither the President nor the Judiciary has the Constitutional power to tell the Senate how to conduct it's own business. Case dismissed, non-justiciable question.

Compassion is not a bad approach, but she's not going to accept it. It would appear she's spent her adult life outwardly blaming "the patriarchy" for what happened to her, and she won't be able to change anything until she acknowledges how much she blames and hates herself.

2. "We're not going to lower ourselves to their level" was W's brilliant strategy. It turned out just like you might imagine.
3. I can see where lending a weapon to a friend might have legal implications. On the other hand, sometimes you do things with legal implications for friends.
4. AOC was most certainly not the brains behind her campaign. She was there to be young and woke and have a nice rack. Now all she has is a nice rack.

Yes. See the poker scene in "The Sting" where Gondorff pulls the four jacks over Lonnegan's four nines.
"What was I going to do, call him out for cheating better than me in front of the others?" The cheater relies on scrupulous prey, but the grifter relies on the greed of the mark.
When the cheater encounters the grifter, he's at a disadvantage. His play has been found out and exploited, and that was his only play.
