One man slaps another man on live television.
One man slaps another man on the street corner.
What's the difference?
Tell me, if you can.
The intra-Palestinian meeting in Moscow has precedent
— Hanna Notte (@HannaNotte) February 29, 2024
Russia's hosted such meetings in the past, most recently Feb 2019
Russia has long lamented the US' "monopolization" of the peace process & tried to carve out a niche for itself: mediating among the disunited Palestinians/2

A mass expulsion of Afghan migrants could destabilize the region and fuel radicalization. The West should pressure Islamabad to change course.
All eyes on #Chad right now
Chad has two internet trunks coming into the country: One from the Red Sea via Sudan; the other from Cameroon. Not possible for the totality of the country's internet network to be shut unless done centrally. A lot of rumors swirling; few facts. https://t.co/N6bDJZ2ixO

It’s not about an UNRWA teacher who held an Israeli kid hostage in his house.

It's wild that Venezuela is now holding a vote on whether 2/3 of Guyana actually belongs to them! Analysts suggest that Modoru may want military action to pump up his sinking popularity.

"Both the AU and the intl community place more weight on whether elections are held than whether they are free and fair. Sanctions/expulsions occur when there is a coup but not necessarily when elections are rigged or if an “institutional coup” occurs." https://t.co/m9dNimJP0D

One man come in the name of love
One man come and go
One man come, he to justify
One man to overthrow
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
One man caught on a barbed wire fence
One man he resist
One man washed on an empty beach
One man betrayed with a kiss

Perhaps consider whether the name of love deserves the accolade.

Pride?

ah but the Academy Awards aren't a street corner, nor a Waffle House at 3 am -
a more apt comparison would be an audience member doing it at an opera.

Most important is the film celebrating the Williams Sisters'... er, father. Grrl Power! Behind every successful woman is a strong man, amirite?

yes, you're getting there, that's a good summation of what he said in the acceptance speech, as if trying to convince himself, while crying yet. Meanwhile, maybe it's just me but I suspect the wife gave a flying fuck, especially after seeing her vague statement today.
One big takeaway from reading too much on this: EVERYBODY respects Morgan Freeman, EVERYBODY, all colors, ethnicities and classes. And he does that without ever hitting anyone, just by having the voice of God.

Did she talk about how their open marriage inspires her? Does anyone she's sleeping with get slapping rights as part of the deal?
by PeraclesPlease on Thu, 03/31/2022 - 12:27am
Nope. The guy on the street, especially if Black, would not have had the opportunity to tearfully make a speech and then dance the night away.

here's from one of our most renowned novelists/writers revealing what many don't know about her, she's a huge longtime fan of professional boxing:
breaking the rules of the manly art of boxing: toxic, not cool
breaking the traditional mystique of the Academy Awards: toxic, not cool
by artappraiser on Wed, 03/30/2022 - 8:49pm
Is that what he did? He broke the rules of traditional mystique?
Or did he intentionally slap another man?

Remember the days when you'd just say "sorry, i fucked up big time" without committing to some AA-like spiritual journey to atone and remake yourself as a "better person"?

da coup de grace (non-physical) on top of being banned from The Academy for a decade, because these kind of stories are virtually always planted by someone with an agenda:

As if Hollywood wouldn't have an agenda. Vengeance is a dish...

Good ending to the story, at least I think so:
