No joke: when I was really young my parents owned a combined folk arts and secondhand bookstore. I was probably about six years old at the time. We mostly had fairies and gumnut baby stuff, but at one point we had a window display of golliwog dolls. At that age I didn't even recognize them as depictions of black people, let alone offensive caricature. I just thought they were funny little men and imagined them as a combination of Santa's elves and the gingerbread man.

What would her chances be if she sued under 18C? Is she even able to?

She’s wealthy enough to see it through and I want to see what happens when Bolt’s blood pressure hits levels never previously recorded in a human being.

Bolded is why I didn't even realise they were racist for an embarrassingly long time. I thought they were just random stylized dolls.

I keep seeing this weird Boomer meme image about how golliwogs akshually aren't racist at all you see. Some insane reaching to whitewash the history of a racist doll nobody gives a poo poo about.

She has dark skin and her hair is dyed blonde.

Just her ponytail, and at a glance much like his drawing of Serena his drawing of Osaka looks nothing like her.

Hot Take:

Most sport is absolute poo poo now because, like everything else, capitalism has ruined it.

Too much money, people taking themselves too seriously. You get sports stars behaving like complete shitheads because they're not doing it for the fame or legend; they're doing it for their 3rd mansion.

It's a bit much saying that he's drawn Osaka wrong when the skin tone, darkened eyes under cap and blonde hair are the standout parts of the way she looks at a distance. No one has mentioned that the ref is a rosy cheeked white englishman, none of his features match the greying Portuguese man that umpired the game.

The problem is that it's entirely plausible that Serena Williams is an awful person and the cartoonist is a racist piece of poo poo and yet the discourse surrounding it is implying that only one of the two is possible because Twitter Wars

Yeah I'm surprised how much people are conflating the two.

Because I think the cartoon is racist I must think Serena was right.

Well, no.

Peter Dutton’s Lawyers Argued A Refugee Couldn’t Come To Australia For An Abortion Because Of The Size Of Her Vaginal Opening

The woman had suffered genital mutilation which the article says requires specialist care in the case of an abortion. Australia tried to prevent the woman being flown to Australia to get the procedure, instead flying her to Taiwan, where she wasn't actually able to get care because no one there had the skills required and she wasn't given an interpreter. Eventually she was flown into Australia

Hyper did turn to poo poo which you could see would happen a mile off and they did it anyway. I miss the APC, they really did try to be fair to non-Windows OS's, I still have a heap of their cds. They had some great columnists, but so did Hyper before the shitfan blew.

I had racks of cracked copied floppies. I bought myself Alien Breed 2: The Horror Continues and played the poo poo out of that game. Also Body Blows Galactic.

Seeing those CRACKED BY XGAMESX screens at loading probably influenced my love of chiptunes today.
