Strength and speed, that's why you're a special agent.

This has been huge in the UK and I can't believe Trump managed to top saying "well anyone could accidentally drive on the wrong side of the road, I don't want to say I've done it myself but I have" by trying to reality TV the grieving parents with the murderer. :sigh:

I'm curious how much coverage it got in the US. With everything he does day to day I'm guessing not much?

Not nearly as much as it should. There's way more talk about him melting down with Pelosi or sending Erdogan that joke of a letter.

Him getting all the Kurds killed in Syria for no reason is definitely dominating right now but frankly there’s so much awful poo poo about him daily it’s utterly exhausting to try to compartmentalize any of it

Does the app at least have the entire Bible or directions to the nearest Catholic place of worship or pilgrimage sites or something? If not, it's failing terribly compared to the various Muslim apps available.

Same, with the added bonus I've never heard any of the other shaggy's music and can't name any of his songs. I literally forgot he existed and thought there was some kind of weird meta humor going on. I figured it out from the replies because I'm not a moron, but definitely made the :pwn: face for a moment.

FYI the movie is set in China, and there's a scene where there's a poster of China's maritime borders on a wall that depicts most of the South China Sea as Chinese territory. This is of course disputed by several countries including the Philippines, Malaysia, and Vietnam where the movies is either not screening anymore or had the short scene cut.

The movie has actually been released in the US to modest financial success, typical of a studio animated movie with no competition.

Founders Brewing manager claims he didn’t know Black employee is Black

quote:

Evans’ Attorney, Jack Schulz: When did you first meet Tracy Evans?

Founders Manager Dominic Ryan: 2011, 2012. We had mutual friends before working there, so …

Schulz: OK, So you knew Tracy prior to his employment at Founders?

Ryan: We met a few times, yes.

Schulz: OK, are you aware Tracy is Black?

Ryan: What do you mean by that?

Schulz: Are you aware Tracy is African-American?

Ryan: I’m not sure of his lineage so I can’t answer that.

Schulz: Alright. Are you aware that Tracy is a man of color?

Ryan: What do you mean by that?

Schulz: No? Do you know … You don’t know what it means for someone to be a white person or a Black person?

Ryan: I’m asking for clarification.

Schulz: You don’t need any. I can promise you that. We’ll keep the record as is. Someone’s skin color. A white …

Ryan: So that’s what you’re referring to?

Schulz: Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah.

Ryan: OK. Yes, I know the difference in skin tone.

Schulz: Are you able to identify individuals by their skin tone?

Ryan: What do you mean “identify”?

Schulz: I mean have you ever looked at Tracy Evans in your entire life? Have you? That’s a … that’s a genuine question.

Founders Attorney: Objection. Argumentative.

Founders Attorney: You can answer.

Ryan: Yes.

Schulz: And did you ever realize that Tracy’s skin [is] Black?

Ryan: That’s not … I mean, is his skin different from mine? Yes.

Schulz: How?

Ryan: What do you mean “how”? It’s a different color.

Schulz: And what is the difference of that color?

Ryan: It’s darker.

Schulz: And that means?

Founders Attorney: Objection. Vague question.

Schulz: I mean, we could … This could be a one-sentence answer, you know. So by your … I guess your testimony is you have no idea if Tracy is a minority, if he’s African-American?

Ryan: I don’t know Tracy’s lineage, so I can’t speculate on whether he’s … if he’s from Africa or not.

Schulz: What do you mean lineage, from Africa?

Ryan: No. I mean, like, I don’t know his DNA.

Schulz: Have you ever met Black people who aren’t from Africa?

Ryan: Excuse me?

Schulz: Have you ever met a Black person born in America?

Ryan: Yes.

Schulz: And you were able … Have you ever met a Black person who didn’t tell you they were Black?

Ryan: Can you rephrase that?

Schulz: Is Barack Obama Black?

Founders Attorney: Objection.

Schulz: To your knowledge?

Ryan: I’ve never met Barack Obama so I don’t …

Schulz: So you don’t know if Barack Obama is Black? What about Michael Jordan? Do you know if Michael Jordan is Black?

Founders Attorney: Objection

Ryan: I’ve never met him.

Schulz: So you don’t know him? What about Kwame Kilpatrick?

Ryan: Never met him.

Schulz: To your knowledge, was Kwame Kilpatrick Black?

Ryan: I …

Schulz: You don’t know?

Ryan: I don’t know.

Also amazing is this amazing statement from Founders’ amazing attorney.

“While it might be acceptable to speculate about this type of thing in casual conversation, Mr. Ryan was not having a casual conversation. He was under oath when he made these statements.”
