- Kinda related - we were lucky enough to see Samantha Marie Ware as Peggy/Maria Reynolds in Hamilton in Chicago. She was fantastic. -- nm - Marty Byrde Jun 3, 08:58
- ... and I will never poop in a wig again. -- nm - Spawn Jun 3, 08:58
- You can tell by that photograph she's not *about* to 'be better'. -- nm - Diva Jun 3, 08:49

So...a Vegan posted this: “The issue is exactly the same for animals and black lives. We need to treat animals like blacks and blacks like animals.” - Flavorize Jun 3, 08:32 22
- They must have been making a bad j... no, they are just stupid. -- nm - Spawn Jun 3, 08:39
- Why are we treating animal lives as more precious than plant lives? #plantlivesmatter -- nm - Strongbad Jun 3, 08:37
- *Retweets* -- nm - POTUS Jun 3, 08:36
- Proof that veganism provides insufficient nutrition for the brain. -- nm - Max Jun 3, 08:36

  - It's clearly trolling. -- nm - spamlet Jun 3, 08:43
- "My account was hacked!" -- nm - VMan Jun 3, 08:35 4
  - Claims she has both a Womens Studies degree and Social Movement degrees—by the looks of it, she’s been trying dumb statements, all week and finally - Flavorize Jun 3, 08:38 2
    - So, it was for research? -- nm - VMan Jun 3, 08:39 1
      - From the look of her profile—she’s more woke than all of us put together -- nm - Flavorize Jun 3, 09:09
  - a local coffee company basically said protesters need to be stopped, this is unacceptable. on fb they said twitter was hacked, then deleted the post - colin Jun 3, 08:36
- smh -- nm* - budice Jun 3, 08:35
- oh. no. -- nm - colin Jun 3, 08:34
- I saw that earlier. Insta-block. -- nm - Shaun Jun 3, 08:34

  - "Treat animals as humanely as if they were people, and I guess maybe do something about racial equality too but that's not really my concern." -- nm - "I view the world in terms of veganism" Jun 3, 08:36 5

        The girl you don't want to talk to at parties. -- nm - Max Jun 3, 08:41 1

Good news! We didn't get gassed last night. Large protests marched well into curfew. - colin Jun 3, 08:26 5
- I can't recall hearing about any legislatures moving to do anything over the past week, and only a few individual politicians saying something. - Max Jun 3, 08:29 4
  - Little bit going on in Oregon. The POC Caucus in the Legislature is proposing three key reforms. - ReluctantCynic Jun 3, 08:36 1
    - i was reading people are spending hours a day watching protest videos..it's easier to report that? -- nm - colin Jun 3, 08:38

I don't trust the methodology of this graph's data, but it's interesting nonetheless. -- (link) - Beryllium Jun 3, 08:19 2
- The most interesting of those numbers is Stockholm where they've worked towards a policy of reaching herd immunity. It isn't working. - pmb Jun 3, 08:28 1
  - herd immunity requires soooo many people to get it. you'd have to intentionally infect people to get there in any reasonable amount of time. -- nm - colin Jun 3, 08:29
It’s amazing how pissy he is over something that he really should have no control over. The bunker...Secret Service makes that call - Will Hunting Jun 3, 08:04 6
- ANYONE having power over him is unacceptable, though. -- nm - Spawn Jun 3, 08:30
- To echo VMan's point below, it is precisely because it's something he doesn't have control over. -- nm - znufrii, silly old man Jun 3, 08:08
- Looking weak really gets to him -- nm - budice Jun 3, 08:05 3
  - Sure, Fake Bone Spurs. We all know how brave you are. -- nm - Diva Jun 3, 08:20

Today's lunch: a Denver PD Sandwich - Reagen Jun 3, 07:58 9

      - i wonder if that is due to them trying to push their internal credit card offer which gives 5% back or something like that . -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 3, 07:30 1
