Insanity is completely real.
“I deeply, deeply want this connection with the black community that I didn’t have. Because of ‘Friends,’ I never attained that.”
Because of “Friends’…?! Wtf?
I had a bunch of folk round at my place for beers and darts last weekend.
nine in total and not one of them was black.
I’m basically all that’s wrong in the world.

@MN5 Yep the clue is in the title
Except in Hollywood friends are generally pretty homogenous and don't as a rule consist of a white woman, disabled Korean, a black guy, couple of lesbians etc
I had all my friends over for Matariki. Was great to have some alone time.

Women who question transgender ideology have been branded “farts” as part of equalities training offered to civil servants in Nicola Sturgeon’s Government, it has emerged.
Workers who attended a workplace “trans 101” course were told the term was an acronym for “feminism appropriating ridiculous transphobe” and that women who oppose inclusivity measures were part of a “trans hate group”.
Staff who attended the training session, run by the Scottish Government’s taxpayer-funded LGBTI+ internal staff network, were also urged to study claims that biological sex is a “falsehood” invented by the medical profession to “reinforce white supremacy and gender oppression”.

I’m fairly sure this is a piss take……
Don't you believe it.
Ms M2 has a flatmate who once told me she wished she wasn't white so she "wouldn't feel so guilty about what white people had done to black people in the past". She's a senior midwife in the NHS, so arguably a bit more impactful on people's real lives than a TV producer.

I’ll give her one day before she changes her mind

When you used to google biological sex, you would rightly get a result that talked about males producing small gametes and females producing large gametes. But now when you google it all you get is pseudo-nonsense like what is in this slide, obfuscating the definition and talking about a bunch of other characteristics to make it seems like it's not binary. We live in insane times.
Edit - at least when you google the definition of male and female, you get the dictionary definitions which define them by gamete size. I wonder how long that will last though.

Scouts in the UK seem to have banned the words "Down Under" for OZ & NZ (among other words and phrases) as it may cause offence...

Not really. I never regarded "Down under" as being the slightest bit offensive and just thought it worth posting

Link doesn’t explain

Link is to the Scouts Style guide (for writing and talking). Sets out what is acceptable and unacceptable speech/words. E.g.
Mate referred me to the "Down under" entry.

I grew up in Nelson. It was pretty fair to say I didn’t see a single brown or asian face til I moved to Wellington in the late 80s.
Different times, fuck sake why the hell to people feel the need to bring this shit up ?
The books ( and DVDs ) are wonderful for kids and I’m sure I’m not the only Dad on here who knows them all word for word without even trying.
I’m fairly sure if it was written today it would have had a gay, bisexual and gender neutral dog as part of the gang for enough diversity.
Should Linley Dodd apologise and pay a massive lump sum to charity for her crimes ?

@MN5 well you could also just not specify Hairy Maclary, Bottomly Potts, Muffin McLay, Bitzer Maloney, schnitzel von krumm as having a gender, but then I guess thats part of the 'issue'...
Hercules Morse (with his manly name) and Scarface Claw the toughest Tom in Town are probably the only 2 clearly defined as males?
I liked this bit
one has to remember that lady dogs have certain times when they're not supposed to be out gallivanting anyway," she added.
What about the Hungry Caterpiller, surely they'd call it fat shaming for all the eating!
