Snowflake students getting flakier!-----Citing their ‘feelings,’ university theater students rail against play selection
Citing their ‘feelings,’ university theater students rail against play selection
"According to a letter from students to the school’s theater department, the play “No Exit” by Jean-Paul Satre “holds problematic themes.”
- Western Washington University theater students are trying to cancel their department’s fall play since their “identities” were “grossly misrepresented in this decision.”
- In addition to “trigger warnings” for sexual harassment and “inappropriate portrayals of gender and sexuality,” the students are concerned that depictions of isolation would be “mentally taxing” due to recent COVID-19 quarantines.
As Encyclopedia Britannica describes, the 1944 play centers upon three recently deceased individuals and their experience in the author’s perception of hell.
One of the characters, Inez, is a predatory lesbian.
“When choosing a play for the upcoming season, there seemed to be a blind spot: gender and sexuality were not considered,” wrote the students. “
We understand that this is a piece that is meant to challenge us as a department, but this play is not challenging if it doesn’t allow us to feel safe. We as students do not shy away from challenging pieces, but we will be critiquing the department if they create an unsafe space for us to create art.”...Read all.

Memorial Day: A Marine's perspective on gratitude and sacrifice - Sandboxx
"Memorial Day rings a bit differently for veterans than it does for many civilians.
For many of us, the mournful reflection of this holiday isn’t a general remembrance of the sacrifices men and women have made on our behalf over the years… for some of us, that mournful reflection comes attached to specific names: friends, loved ones, brothers or sisters in arms that we’ve lost...
...Memorial Day isn’t about loss, it’s about sacrifice.
At times, they look alike, and truth be told, in our hearts, they even feel alike… but the differences between them are significant...Read all.
USS Thresher (SSN-593) (documentary)
Her loss at sea in the North Atlantic during deep-diving tests approximately 220 miles east of Boston, Massachusetts, on 10 April 1963 was a watershed event for the U.S. Navy, leading to the implementation of a rigorous submarine safety program known as SUBSAFE.
Judging by the 129 crew members and shipyard personnel who were killed in the incident, historic context and significance, the sinking of Thresher was then, and remains today, the world's worst submarine disaster.
As the first nuclear submarine lost at sea, its disappearance generated international shock and sympathy."

Ron DeSantis: Lockdowns are Making Voters Switch to GOP - Louder With Crowder
Ron DeSantis: Lockdowns are Making Voters Switch to GOP - Louder With Crowder:
One of the great ironies of America is how voters - Democrat ones - will vote for politicians who raise their taxes and make cost of living unaffordable. When it gets to be too expensive, they'll move. And continue to vote for the people and policies that caused them to leave their previous home. Texans are seeing it as more and more Californias bring their regulations and homeless with them. It's concerning for free red states seeing the migration of people leaving locked down commie states. Not Ron DeSantis though. According to America's Governor, the people moving to Florida are smarter than that.

Sweden Goes From Being One Of The Safest Countries In Europe To The Second Most Dangerous | ZeroHedge
- A new investigation finds that Sweden has gone from being one of the safest European countries 20 years ago in terms of gun crime to the second most dangerous.
“Most of the fatal shootings in Sweden (around 80 percent) had a link to organised crime, according to the study, a proportion which had risen from 30 to 50 percent in the early 2000s and less than 20 percent in the 1990s. Brå also compared the proportion to other countries: around 60 percent of fatal shootings were linked to organised crime in the Netherlands, while in Finland such events were extremely rare,” reports The Local.
...In a country where criticizing mass immigration is basically a thought crime, no consideration is even afforded to the possibility that the large number of Muslim migrants the country has absorbed over the last two decades could be a factor.
