I'm heading for transplant in September, if the coronavirus doesn't fuck it all up, and I pass the nuclear medicine cardiac studies and the pulmonary function tests. If it does actually happen, I'll be an in-patient for about 8 weeks, and I hope to avoid belonging to the 15% who do not survive. Ideally, I'd like to be counted among the 40% who do survive and who get a 'cure'. At that point, I shall have even fewer restrictions on my opinions and posts than now. So watch out, PZ, I'm coming for you, you clunge.

"To avoid repeating contextually offensive language, the public communications did not list the words in question, identifying one of them only as the N word."

"Each word in each category is then listed alphabetically, but with its letters rearranged into alphabetical or reverse alphabetical order in order to obfuscate it from the casual reader."



The game remains racist. 'Slave' is worth 8 points, 'Confederate' is worth 17. That's less than the 3/5 human value assigned to blacks by the racist US Constitution.

Hasbro's Online Scrabble Tools still accepts the term 'niggardly' (15 points). I'm sure you'll think of other offensive terms to enter:

I can't get that video to play. But in the video of the incident, she sounded truly scared. But the measure is whether a reasonable person would feel an imminent threat, and a waddling black woman calling you names doesn't pass muster. Hell, it didn't even rise to Popeye's chicken sandwich level.

So, again, I believe this woman's overreaction is indicative of the latent fear to the riots and chaos. Which the Democrats seem hell-bent on continuing to stoke.

justinvacula wrote: ↑ The North American Scrabble Players’ Association has called for 238 “slurs” to be banned from the game on the grounds of their offensiveness — including not only the obvious racial epithets but terms such as “wrinklies” (offensive to old people), “papist” (Catholics) and “Jesuit” (apparently offensive to followers of St Ignatius of Loyola, though this seems to me highly questionable). “When we play a slur,” says John Chew, the association’s Chief Executive Officer, “we are declaring that our desire to score points in a word game is of more value to us than the slur’s broader function as a way to oppress a group of people.”

Last month a report from the University of Chicago’s Project on Security and Threats concluded that rightwing extremists were behind at least 50 vehicle-ramming incidents since the latest waves of protests began in late May.

At least 18 were categorized as deliberate while another two dozen were considered unclear as to motivation, or were still under investigation.

'KKK President' arrested for hitting protester with his truck
A hate crime investigation is underway.

"He told the paper he was the organizer of the National Association for Awakening Confederate Patriots and was there to exercise his first amendment right.
...Protesters are sharing accounts of the incident in the Lakeside community on Sunday.

The organizer of the protest, who did not want to be identified, said the group assembled at Bryan Park to walk up Lakeside Avenue.

"This was a small gathering of 200-300 people many of whom brought their children or were elderly. Many of those in the back of the group were with their children or elderly," the organizer said in a statement. "I witnessed him cut around drivers who were waiting behind the protest as he drove on the median so he could get closer to the protesters."

Eva Swanson said she watched as the truck drove onto the median and into the protesters.

“[The driver] revved his engine and sped up and I thought for sure people were going to die. People were screaming,” Swanson said. “I don’t know if we were in range of him hitting us, but we were afraid for our lives and fled out of the way.”

Swanson lives north of the city and felt it was important to join the protesters. She feared that someone would drive into the crowds.

“I want to be clear though, the fear I had as a white person marching is nothing compared to the fear of violence black people face every single day,” Swanson explained.

Rachel Kurtz stated she and her family were walking towards the back of the protesters when they jumped out of the truck's path.

“I heard the engine rev up real loud behind us and it sounded as if it was coming in quickly so I shouted to my husband and son to get up on the sidewalk quick. Sure enough it came right up beside us quickly and seemed like it was trying to hit the crowd,” Kurtz explained.

Bicyclists then shouted at the driver to stop.

Video shows Forbes was not part of the main group; he was across California Ave. on the south side of the street, approximately 200 feet east of Oak St.

At one point, it appears Forbes and a couple other people attempted to cross the two eastbound lanes of California Ave., perhaps to join the main group marching in the westbound lanes.

Several other people made it safely across the street but Forbes was struck by a car traveling eastbound on California Ave. Police say the car was in the fast lane.

BPD also said Forbes crossed the slow lane and was hit by the right side of the car. Witnesses told police Forbes was crossing the street. He was not kneeling in the road, as some social media posts have said, the police department added.

A video shot by another driver traveling with the protests on the westbound side showed the car that hit Forbes had its headlights on despite earlier accounts the car did not.

Video from a red light camera at the intersection of Oak and California captured the vehicle as it drove eastbound down California Ave. from beneath Hwy 99. The video indicates the car was travelling through the intersection around the speed limit of 45 mph

Once out of the intersection, the vehicle’s brake lights were seen illuminating just before the collision. The car stopped immedately after Forbes was hit, according to BPD.

"Moore has visible tattoos that indicate his affiliation with white supremacist movements."

“It shouldn’t take that long to get a man who just admitted in front of everybody, even to the cops, ‘I did it. I hit this man. I didn’t see him. Accident or not, I hit him.’ So why wasn’t he detained? Why was he able to smoke a cigarette?” the eyewitness said."

Bakersfield police responded to criticism that Moore was allowed to sit in the front seat of the police car. Bakersfield police cars do not have cages and it is standard for a suspected to be seatbelted and transported in the front seat.

“There was a skater in front … the driver was being aggressive,” Mary said. “[The skater] tried to make him understand that we weren’t going to be long.”

Since-deleted video of the incident posted on social media shows at least three protesters step in front of the vehicle near one of the intersection’s crosswalks as others to the side of the vehicle threaten to pop the car’s tires.

“My man, we’re gonna pop your tire, bro,” one protester can be heard saying.

Another protester with a megaphone asks, “Do you have to go this way, sir?”

Seconds later, a voice in the video can be heard saying, “Pop his tire, pop his f—ing tire.”

A separate video, which has also since been deleted, shows a man stab the rear driver’s side tire several times. An audible hissing sound follows.

The driver then hits the gas, running over and dragging several bikes.

The man told police he fled because he felt threatened by the group, sources said.

He drove a few blocks away, where he was stopped by police and taken to the Manhattan South Precinct, sources said.

Police said the man has not been arrested. No injuries were reported.
