I’m Not Sure about that

Counterpoint - this is going to be really good. The story is so much crazier than we remember, full of weird coincidences, petty rivalries, murder conspiracies and a cast of currently-relevant characters who were never really held accountable for their role (Mr. Kellyanne Conway comes to mind).

Robin Wright is coming for the patriarchy from every corner this week. I’m here for it.

You can tell Tom Cruise is frothing with thirst for Norton to ask him to jump up there and prove he can that pole thing it too. Which he probably can! Both those dudes are fit af.

I did not think any celebrity could be any more self-righteously destructive to the cause than Susan Sarandon but damn if Kathy Griffin isn’t giving her a run for her money.

Kathy...girl...if you have you any chill at all, now would be the time to engage it.

I’m watching Scott Pruit literally hyperventilating with joy, speaking at the podium right now.

I live nearby and am a Native woman (Ojibwe, not Sioux but still) and I was shocked when I heard what the structure depicted. Minneapolis is a very chill city though, so even though it’s crazy this idea got as far as it did, it’s being handled well now that they’ve heard feedback from the community.

Yet again, Hazel, you fail to point out that this sculpture was intended to be a jungle-gym in a family friendly park where children would literally be clambering on a gallows for fun. This would have been an entirely inappropriate piece for the space and the community, which obviously includes Native people. So The…

She clearly does take responsibility for her mistakes though. There is such a weird need to drag her every time she says something straightforward - she’s talking about how she could have done certain things differently, that she fucked up in places, but that there were things outside of her control that were even…

Yeah, not including this crucial detail is more than an oversight, it’s bad reporting. And now this article is being cross-posted across all the kinja platforms and creating more vitriolic comments/opinions. Really, if people knew these historically-accurate gallows were being proposed as a playground, they would…

It’s designed to be a jungle gym (even the pictures of it in the pitch deck showed kids playing on it), because the whole park is supposed to be a family-friendly place where kids can clamber all over the sculptures. So while art addressing trauma is really important, a playground is not. A similar structure depicting…

Thanks, that clarifies the pushback! The objection from the Minneapolis community was also that this was supposed to be a jungle gym kind of sculpture for kids to play on. Which is just so macabre and grim! And certainly doesn’t reflect what the community wants in that space (it’s partially publicly funded too, I…

Like...what though? Genuinely curious how this swelling of his twitter ranks is a bell weather of some big event.

Totally right, my bad. And yes, she’s the queen of Mary Sues!

Ah, you are totally right. It’s been a long time since I’ve read it but I think I’ll have to again soon.

I don’t know if it matters, but I think a lot of those new followers are bots.

VALLEY OF THE HORSES! She also rides a saber tooth tiger. And she spends 90% of the book chilling in a gorgeous vacay spot all on her own until a beautiful man just shows up and sexes her....that’s the dream.

It was built to be a jungle gym. So...probably.

Are you kidding me?? This is a white guy making art SPECIFICALLY FOR WHITE PEOPLE, that’s the artists own words. But Native people live here too. This space is a public park where kids come and play (it was built to be a kind of jungle-gym). Not just white kids, all kids. The artists assumed no Native kids would be…
