Alzheimer's is loving horrifying. My mom worked like 22 years on a care facility specifically for that. I spent five minutes at work when I was about ten and heard the following conversation:

"Mom, I'm here, do you know who I am?"

"No dear, are you new here?"

Nope'd the gently caress out and absolutely refused to go back inside ever again. If she wanted anything she met me outside.

quote:

John Schnatter, the founder and public face of Papa John's pizza, apologized Wednesday for using the N-word on a conference call in May.

Forbes reported earlier that he used the racial slur while participating in a role-playing exercise designed to prevent public relations crises.

In a statement issued through the company, Schnatter said: "News reports attributing the use of inappropriate and hurtful language to me during a media training session regarding race are true. Regardless of the context, I apologize. Simply stated, racism has no place in our society."

According to the account in Forbes, Schnatter was on a call with Laundry Service, a marketing agency, and was asked how he planned to manage future public relations flare-ups.

On the call, Schnatter sought to downplay the significance of his criticism of the league and its players, Forbes reported.

"Colonel Sanders called blacks n-----s," he said, complaining that Sanders had never received backlash, according to Forbes. The parent company of KFC did not immediately answer a request for comment.

Forbes also reported that Schnatter recalled growing up in Indiana, where he said people used to drag black people from their trucks until they died.

Forbes reported that Schnatter's comments were intended to demonstrate his stance against racism, but that people on the call were offended by them.

Good riddance I had the misfortune of “eating” his pizza recently and it was vile as gently caress. Cheese was a slab of grease, and the dough tasted like stale bread. Honestly one of the worst pizzas I’ve ever had and that says something, as I love pizza and it’s honestly hard to gently caress up. Hell I can down a $5 hot n ready from little caesars no problem.

Also besides being a racist prick he’s pro Trump and fought hard to not pay his workers an extra dime while skimping on ingredients.

My dad marched for civil rights in the 60s in Washington with MLK. My mom and dad have always been liberal, further left on many issues than Democrats in practice (like wanting more regulation of Wall Street and industry, legalizing weed, etc). My dad is a historian, so I grew up in a house with hundreds of books, dozens about WWI, WWII, Vietnam War, the SCOTUS, different presidents, ancient Rome and Greece, and tons of other topics.

I feel very grateful for my privileged upbringing, even though my job sucks and my parents attained (after a couple of decades of struggling) a level of economic security of ending up in the upper middle class, that I don't think I'll ever have.

The guy who's campaign chair worked directly for and was funded by the Russians who is now in jail, who's businesses got loans from Russia, the guy who decided not to actively enforce sanctions against Russia made by his own parties Congress and who openly praises the current leader of Russia and is going to meet with him this month, has threatened to pull out of NATO and already started a trade war on both of his borders and against his longest and most stable allies.

It's almost like this guy is making every single misstep that Russia wishes a more powerful nation like the USA would make.

SEOUL — North Korean officials did not turn up to a Thursday meeting with the U.S. military about repatriating the remains of the war dead, according to a U.S. official with knowledge of the situation.

The two sides had been expected to discuss at the Korean Peninsula’s demilitarized zone the return of U.S. troop remains from the 1950-1953 war — an arrangement that the State Department had announced after Secretary Mike Pompeo’s visit to Pyongyang last Friday and Saturday.

State Department officials had said that the meeting would likely take place on July 12, though they added that the date could shift.

On Thursday, however, Department of Defense and United Nations Command officials were left waiting in the DMZ’s Joint Security Area. The expected North Korean officials never arrived, according to the official who requested anonymity as he was not permitted to talk publicly about the event.

“We were ready,” the official said. “It just didn’t happen. They didn’t show.”
