I had a delightfully relaxed day with a friend today.
We grazed on smoked cheese, prosciutto, and quince paste. And finished off with some Maltesers for dessert. All accompanied with a couple of bottles of Moscato.
We also watched 3 movies:
The Emu War (Brollie)
Shaun of the Dead (ITV)
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (hard drive)

“‘Fascism thrives on indifference and ignorance,’ it warned. Freedom requires ‘being alert and on guard against the infringement not only of our own freedom but the freedom of every American. If we permit discrimination, prejudice, or hate to rob anyone of his democratic rights, our own freedom and all democracy is threatened.’”

Beginning in 1943, the War Department published a series of pamphlets for U.S.

Wake up all you citizens, hear your country's call,
Not to arms and violence, But peace for one and all.
Crush out hate and prejudice, fear and greed and sin,
Help bring back her dignity, restore her faith again.
Work hard for a common cause, don't let our country fall.
Make her proud and strong again, democracy for all.
Yes, make our country strong again, keep our flag unfurled.
Make our country well again, respected by the world.
Make her w…

No joke I’ve read multiple documents that argued the Roman Empire was too tolerant and allowed for too much ethnic mixing, which was why they thought Italians in the late 19th / early 20th century were a threat to white purity….
They were literally justifying their prejudice with history that was many centuries old. (Also how did none of them consider that the Roman Empire reached territories that would become Britain and France and Germany too? It’s not like their ancestors were somehow exempt from this supposed ethnic mixing.)

This is great news, particularly for CISO Tim Brown, who unfairly paid a big price when the SEC wrongly brought charges against him.
"The US Securities and Exchange Commission today filed a joint stipulation with Defendants SolarWinds Corporation and its Chief Information Security Officer, Timothy G. Brown, to dismiss, with prejudice, the Commission’s ongoing civil enforcement action."

Recently I saw "The Witcher in Concert"- "Celebrating 10 Years of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt" in Munich. I reaaaally loved it!
And one sentence from the game never gets old:
"Hatred And Prejudice Will Never Be Eradicated. And Witch Hunts Will Never Be About Witches. A Scapegoat, That's The Key"

This BBC article talks about the "class ceiling" in the arts, with both structural obstacles and prejudice against those who are not white and middle class. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cql4gvrxdq7o
However, it fails to address the assumption that arts are luxury…

@… having been queer-bashed, I do have more than a few thoughts about things such as homophobia, prejudice, equality, equity, and DEI.
The four paragraphs below are from a mid-November post in Reddit, <

“At one point, Ms. Halligan admitted that she had never shown the second — and final — version of the Comey indictment to the full grand jury before the foreperson signed the charging document. Mr. Comey’s lawyers immediately seized on that irregularity, calling it another reason to dismiss the case entirely.”
This alone should be enough to dismiss the case with prejudice.

Lindsey Halligan Admits Grand Jury Never Saw Final Comey Indictment
Grand jurors have to vote on indictments to approve them, but a prosecutor told the judge in the case that only the foreperson formally approved the second charging document, a move that could cripple the case.

@… @… may I assume that you both dislike prejudice?
