Eh, drop the “Prince” and the Regency period is a perfectly cromulent name for around 1800-1820. Particularly since the Georgian Era covers more than a hundred years with distinct subperiods and brings to mind Henry Fielding and Tom Jones while the Regency conjures Jane Austen.

Yeah, he’s spent a lot of time getting to know KKK guys and understanding where they’re coming from, but it doesn’t look like he’s spent much time learning about what life is like for black people who live in the inner city without the privileges that he himself grew up with (and he appears to come from a pretty…

I think in some cases, he really did develop friendships over a period of years - including having a former Imperial Wizard from Maryland come to his wedding. In the film, you mostly just see him having conversations with different people, some he’s known for years - he takes one former KKK guy to the steps of the…

Oh, absolutely. A lot of things that work well at the micro level don’t scale at all. And I would never advocate what he’s doing as a policy or as something that others need to do. If he wants to continue doing it and others want to do it too, good for them.

From watching the documentary last night, in at least one case, yes. A woman who’d been raised in the KKK was doing PSAs against racism. And I’m pretty sure he’s spending more than just an afternoon with these guys.

The best part of that was that he wanted a thank you on behalf of dead white people who ended slavery but he refused to accept any responsibility on behalf of dead white people who enslaved people.

I watched this last night and was fascinated. I was also struck by how he seemed to have more patience with the the KKK members than with other black men. He was playing respectability politics with Rose and was completely unwilling to listen to Rose’s POV. And that made Rose unwilling to listen to him…

Of course it’s personal and gendered, too.

No, just the “inner city”. No plural. There’s only one. And that where all the Blacks live.

I’m pretty sure the Secret Service would still have to be at Trump Tower and protecting it along as it’s owned by Trump. I’m sure Melania being in residence means more security there, but it’s not like they’d go away and leave the building unsecured if none of the Trumps were in residence.

You know, I was all set to come in here and say how I don’t like this kind of speculation. It reminds me of all the stories my mom told me about how Jackie Kennedy was given money to not divorce JFK because then he couldn’t be president. Or all the speculation in the 90s about how Hillary was going to divorce Bill the…

If your concern is money, then you should be against the death penalty. It’s more expensive to execute someone than it is to keep them in prison for life.

I don’t see anything indicating that she berated the staffer. Express dissent is not the same as berating. Using a “frustrated tone of voice” is also not the same as berating.

It doesn’t straddle the line, it’s racist. It’s also sexist.

“The unexpected twist? Mexico won’t be the ones to pay for it.”

Aw! I’m so glad he’s all right! Leaving them at the vet overnight is terrible isn’t it?

I have the opposite problem, my urinary issue beastie loves his expensive vet food and so do his brother and sister. I am not paying for three cats to eat expensive vet food (well, at least not until the other two actually need it...).

No, they were able to flush the stones back up into Ivan’s bladder, so they did a cystotomy. It was also all more fun, because he started having difficulty peeing on Thursday night, so took him to the emergency vet and since he wasn’t completely blocked, they gave me the option of going home and taking him to my…

I have actively been trying not to think about how much it cost (4k for Ivan, I’m probably still under 1k for Fido (like I said, my vet is the best) and George is at maybe $200. Then there are all the other costs like food and kitty litter and three cats go through kitty litter fast.)- though I got a decent chunk of…

Let’s see:
