Diversity in London goes back a very long time.

The idea of the African as some fantastical creature isn’t new in the European canon. Pliny the Elder, who would’ve been required reading in Shakespeare’s time, described Africans south of the Sahara as Strapfoots with a single orifice in their faces. He claimed they sucked their food through straw oats. He mentioned…

Is fucking the goat still an option?

It’s so fucking annoying. Especially in the Mediterranean, but not only in the Mediterranean, Europe has always been multi-ethnic and multi-cultural. Or at least going back to Ancient Rome.

That’s The Tempest!

“I couldn’t put you in a Shakespeare movie, because they didn’t have black people then.” He literally said that. I told that casting director: “You ever heard of Othello? Shakespeare couldn’t just make up black people. He saw them.”

I guess treating women equally only applies to the one he pays to be around him.

He is all of the GOP “ideals” wrapped up in one: Anti-immigration, anti-Muslim, anti-women and anti-intellectual. The GOP talking heads should be embracing him, instead they are doing everything to distance themselves from the guy. They created this shit, have been embracing and ramping up this way of thinking for 15…

I’ve been saying for a while that Trump is Fox New’s Frankenstein monster turning against his creator and wrecking the place. Good! Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh have it coming for radicalizing their listeners.

I feel a bit like Charlton Heston at the end of Planet of the Apes pounding the sand and screaming, “OMG, you finally really did it. You maniacs!!” And I don’t think there’s too much hyperbole there.

We’re all done laughing now, right? He’s going to be the GOP candidate. And he’s not an easy out for Hillary OR Bernie. We’re a Bloomberg candidacy from President Trump.

Fat and angry in Tahiti.

Would rather fuck the goat, tbh.

To be fair, she’s been working since she was 10 and she’s wealthy. Taking time off for college and to consciously self-educate seems more laudable than always running after the next part.

Not all actors can do that. It’s important.

I don’t blame people for taking advantage of class privilege if they are aware of it. She seems to be. So there was no blame on her in my statement. I think she gets it and when she doesn’t, she learns.

I don’t blame her. She’s a very famous actress, I’m sure the whole travelling for roles and constant press junkets can exhaust the soul. Let’s not forget she does this intellectual stuff only part of the time. Good on her for exploring the depth and tawdriness of said privilege. I don’t think it’s a soundbite for her,…

On the one hand, taking a sabbatical for personal development is the height of class privilege. On the other, this is about the best thing she can do with her time.

Canada is definitely not the be all and end all but tolerance is far greater here. I’m actually barred from entering the US because my name ended up on a watch list (some guy with the same name gave money to someone, who knows) so I’m not very familiar with many American locales. Either way, once you’ve lived in a…

I saw that later on, but you can’t delete so easily. I live in England now and the Syrian refugees coming to the Isle of Wight wasn’t really reported, which is supremely shitty. Glad they got a nice welcome— would have been ace to see some happy news.
