I was about to post the same but decided to scroll first just to make sure.

One thing I feel like is missing from these comments and the article. Is that the sculpture was pushed as “part playground.” Can you imagine installing a replica of a Nazi crematorium in the same way and not consulting any Jewish groups?

I prefer...

If you were a woman on a date with a clearly unstable man, you would honestly concern yourself with how that man makes his way home? Moreso than your own personal safety?

Wait... white nationalists decided to protest with tiki-torches? So, we’re supposed to be buying into an ideology of the inherent superiority of white men who have to go out and buy torches from Walmart, which were probably manufactured in China and made off a design aesthetic that was appropriated from Polynesian…

The dreamers but not the DREAMers.

I didn’t call you a troll — I was careful not to, because I recognize you from other posts. I felt that in this case you were acting like one. But I apologize for even using the word. And yes, I know plenty about World War II, including how messy a conflict it was. In many ways, being the daughter of a Holocaust…

But you are acting like a troll, really — or you wouldn’t even have brought this subject up (which you’ve obviously brought up before) in a thread about the War of the Roses, Shakespeare, etc. And it’s one thing to bring up things the Allies did; it’s entirely another to link them to what the Axis did and complain…

Oh man, THIS lady. If you watch the documentary of the excavation she is WAY too invested in his legacy. She was completely convinced that he was a good king who was the victim of vicious post-rein character assasination. When they confirmed that he had a curved spine she cried, because she had adamantly maintained…

Idk, she could go on to become a cheerful funeral industry professional. It happens.

Most every culture in the world has some sort of “death fetish” so whatever.

I worked with Hercule Poirot. I knew Hercule Poirot. Hercule Poirot was a friend of mine. Mustachioed Branagh, you’re no Hercule Poirot.

I fucking love wassail! It is weird, though, that is true. It’s sort of the best part.

look I’m not sure if you’re just trying to fuck with everybody here—but if you’re not: that word “lisp” was used once in the article, zero times by me, and this guy has a VERY average-sounding speaking voice. One million arrogant white dudes with an interminably pompous affect sound like this—there’s nothing “obvious”…

It seems like you maybe created your account because of your concern with this article—just to be clear, I grew up with an actual speech impediment and worked on it in speech therapy for years.

Just don’t ask how many loaves of bread you can buy for the price of chocolate brown leather trousers.

But our esteemed prime minister says there are lots of complex reasons why people use food banks...

Exactly! This is some serious pagan shit, and I fucking love it. All the best parts of Christmas and Easter are pre-Christian traditions that sort of got absorbed, and this really just seems like the same kind of thing. You know, celebrating the change in seasons, blessing the crops, hoping for a bountiful harvest in…
