And the reviews are in
"A New Film Melania" #2,499
(n)
I have not seen the new film. But I've read the reactions posted in #2,499.

Earth, humanity, Western culture and virtue are in crisis in this second Trump administration. Innocent human beings are dying!

The #2,499 meme appears to be shallow, cowardly, sadistic, vulgar, and a disgrace to those party to it.

It's tolerated here mainly as a demonstration of fidelity to our First Amendment. "The remedy for bad speech is good speech." U.S. Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis
Referring to "our Slovenian prostitute First Lady" accomplishes what?

Critics have expressed their displeasure more directly in the past. In a review of the sequel Jaws 3
one critic published: Jaws 3, audience zero.
To Ishtar criticism read: Ishtar ish terrible.

The difference?
Meme #2,499 is ad hom insult to the president's wife, not insightful critical analysis of the film.

That does substantially more to undermine the integrity of the critics than it does the artistic merit of the film.
 
Referring to "our Slovenian prostitute First Lady" accomplishes what?
Actually it was one of the Slovenian newspapers that stated that prior to coming to the US she was a high priced escort.

As for the movie, I have no interest in seeing it and, if that meme with the reviews hadn't appeared on my FB feed I wouldn't even know it existed.
 
"Actually it was one of the Slovenian newspapers that stated that prior to coming to the US she was a high priced escort." S2 #2,502
Perhaps.
But even if so, so what?
That isn't the wording used in meme #2,499.
It's a disparaging disclosure about her past, not critical analysis of the film.

"As for the movie, I have no interest in seeing it and, if that meme with the reviews hadn't appeared on my FB feed I wouldn't even know it existed." S2 #2,502
- ditto -
But none of that ameliorates #2,499.
 
Recent studies suggest Neanderthals didn't truly go extinct but were gradually absorbed into the modern human gene pool through interbreeding, leaving a genetic legacy of 1-4% in non-African populations today.

A new mathematical model indicates that recurrent migrations of larger Homo sapiens populations overwhelmed smaller Neanderthal groups, leading to their assimilation over 10,000-30,000 years, rather than sudden eradication, according to research published in Scientific Reports. This aligns with archaeological findings showing long-term contact and cultural overlap.

[Pic is an ape, not a Neanderthal. SF author L. Sprague de Camp noted decades ago that if you gave a Neanderthal man a shave and haircut and put him in a business suit, nobody would even notice him if he walked down the street in a modern city.]

"... the Black guy earned his Nobel Peace Prize ..." OD #2508
"Earned"?
How?
President Obama aka "the Black guy" was awarded his Nobel Prize quite early in his presidential tenure.
It appears the Nobel committee awarded President Obama his Peace Prize as reward for being not President Bush (younger).
The 2009 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to United States president Barack Obama (b. 1961) for his "extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples". The Norwegian Nobel Committee announced the award on October 9, 2009, citing Obama's promotion of nuclear nonproliferation and a "new climate" in international relations fostered by Obama, especially in reaching out to the Muslim world. More from Wikipedia
By the end of Obama's 8 year tenure this award might have seemed more plausible. But only a few months into his presidency?

"... take the prize from a Latina ..." OD #2,508

Venezuelan Nobel Peace Prize winner presents her medal to Trump​

Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado has given her Nobel Peace Prize medal to President Donald Trump during a meeting at the White House, saying it was a recognition of his commitment to her country's freedom.
"I think today is a historic day for us Venezuelans," she said after meeting Trump in person for the first time, weeks after US forces seized Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in Caracas and charged him in a drug-trafficking case.
Trump said on social media that the move was "a wonderful gesture of mutual respect", but the Nobel committee has said the prize itself was not transferable.

Though nearly 80 years old, President Trump retains a child-like acquisitive personality, seemingly with a tinge from King Midas, as Trump's oval office decor indicates.
It's not merely Trump's conspicuous lack of adult maturity. Trump is more dangerous than a drunken infant with a loaded gun.
And Trump is literally willing to bust up NATO to conquer / acquire Greenland.

"The purpose of the U.S. military is to kill people and break things." Rush Limbaugh

It appears:
- if Trump gets Greenland
- Russia gets Ukraine, & if Russia gets Ukraine
- China gets Taiwan.

Worth it?
To Trump, apparently.
 
Maybe I shouldn't laugh but ....

A Threads guy going by @biz_dave is going viral for documenting how he has conditioned local crows to treat red hats like “food time,” so they swoop in and yank them off his staged targets like they are opening a loot box. It is part backyard experiment, part internet performance art, and it has the repost pages spinning it into “crow warfare” already. Infowars predictably had a full little meltdown over it and ran a post calling him a “deranged leftist” training crows to attack MAGA hats.

"All the Dachaus must remain standing.

The Dachaus, the Belsens, the Buchenwalds, the Auschwitzes — all of them. They must remain standing because they are a monument to a moment in time when some men decided to turn the earth into a graveyard, into it they shoveled all of their reason, their logic, their knowledge, but worst of all their conscience. And the moment we forget this, the moment we cease to be haunted by its rememberance. Then we become the grave diggers."

"The Dachaus, the Belsens, the Buchenwalds, the Auschwitzes — all of them. They must remain standing because they are a monument to a moment in time when some men decided to turn the earth into a graveyard ..." ~Rod Serling
Not to defend Nazi methodology, but to expose Nazi ideology:
the Holocaust was not about turning the Earth into a graveyard, but was eugenics, Germany's industrial method of purifying the human genome.
And where did those dreadful Nazis get this hideous eugenics idea? From the United States of America:
“It is better for all the world, if instead of waiting to execute degenerate offspring for crime or to let them starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind...
Three generations of imbeciles are enough.” Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. in Buck v. Bell - May 2, 1927
Improving the human race may seem a pretty good idea.
Eugenics apparently not.
 
And where did those dreadful Nazis get this hideous eugenics idea? From the United States of America:
True - the Nazis looked to America's Jim Crow laws.


Nazi Germany extensively studied and drew inspiration from American Jim Crow laws when crafting their own racist legal framework, particularly the Nuremberg Laws of 1935. While some Nazi lawyers considered certain American, practices "too extreme" or impractical—specifically the "one-drop rule"—they ultimately adopted or adapted many aspects of American segregation, anti-miscegenation, and citizenship laws. Rather than adopting a “one-drop rule,” the Nazis decreed that a Jewish person was anyone who had three or more Jewish grandparents. In short “... American racial classification law was much harsher than anything the Nazis themselves were willing to introduce in Germany.”
