That is probably the best fuck you I’ve ever heard of.

Good reasoning and use of his own space against the protesters. I also appreciate that the restaurant specifically uses all of the stuff coming out of an animal in their food prep. Awesome stuff.

“It’s just an animal”

The animation really improved after the Golden Frieza arc and really found its heart when they brought back kaioken. It was all uphill from there.

And there are still people who think there won’t be a new series.

Makes sense. I’m sure it’s their bigger cash cow.

Toei Animation is reorganizing its various departments and, starting April 1, will have a new one in its Anime Planning and Production headquarters. The good news? The department will focus primarily on Dragon Ball.

Joe Stinchcomb is a black bartender in Mississippi- he is also an Artist, who’s chosen a non-traditional medium (cocktails) in order to create, essentially, a standing Art installation in this form.

Thanks for the info, but this still bugs me. Because France was in part built on that kidnapping, and throughout its colonies, it built great wealth on what was called “domestic slavery” - i.e., the fact that you did not need to “export” slaves if you just conquered their homelands.

Black History Month themed food and drinks seems to be a minefield with no winners and quite often African American losers. At least he wasn’t humiliated and fired like those African Americans who came up with the black History Month Dinner menu at NYU

Young-ish white guy and bartender here. I think younger white folks of a certain disposition would certainly recognize “Blood on the Leaves.” There’s the Kanye song of the same name sampling the Nina Simone version of “Strange Fruit” and even whitest white guy Jeff Buckley covered “Strange Fruit.” I think what’s…

In the end, the drink menu did what all good art should do: It unsettled us.

WELL. I LOOK FORWARD TO A PLETHORA OF CALM, WELL-THOUGHT OUT COMMENTS ON THIS COMPLEX AND YET AT THE SAME TIME NOT COMPLEX STORY.
