Post a controversial opinion

that's the crux of this. for some reason, US authorities can't touch him, even when he is quite blatantly involved in crimes.

wtf is that? xpost

Bibi Bibi
you put my heart in moootion

Anti-semitic pish.

yeah, i stopped watching that segment when i saw where it was going.

i think, look--occam's razor says boring, maryland is right and he has gotten away with everything because the government never prosecutes white collar crime. i'm 90% sure something like this is the real answer.

but there will always be a part of me that wonders how it got this far. the people he has been dicking over, decade after decade, are also very rich and powerful. and no matter what, the money keeps coming in for him.

It's not a subtle thumbnail.

yeah, i mean, i think that is something for the mods to remove honestly. we don't need it here.

Yeah, that was a few steps beyond "controversial." Deleted.

OK, right, frankly, fuck this.

She said: “She’s everywoman and clothes would have restricted her. Statues in historic costume look like they belong to history because of their clothes.

“It’s crucial that she is ‘now’.

“The whole sculpture is called ‘for Mary Wollstonecraft’ and that’s crucially important. It’s not an idea ‘of’ Mary Wollstonecraft naked… the sculpture is for now.”

this is a terrible statue and maggie hambling's defence is rambling incoherent garbage.

wow that's crazy!

It could be a statue for like, anything.

And by removing personality and clothes it removes the whole social world that MW moved in/against which conflict is the whole point idgi

Oh wow

I thought the top bit was the main bit

Fuck

bad monument for a cool historical figure

"Any passing teenage boy is not going to think, oh, that’s an icon of feminist education. They are going to think – tits!"

Can't not do this in a Coogan voice.

Smoking should be restricted to specific places even outdoors.

Like, I shouldn't have to breath in the smoke just because three smokers want to walk side by side down the street, blowing smoke back behind them.

feel like an unusual amount of time and effort went into the pubes

that's a polite way of putting it

The writer Caitlin Moran tweeted: “Imagine if there was a statue of a hot young naked guy ‘in tribute’ to eg Churchill. It would look mad. This, also, looks mad.”

This would be much better than any existing monument to Churchill.

Hot Lincoln statue in LA to thread.

(xp) Particularly the naked Churchill statues.

pov about to undo his belt with my teeth

he looks a bit nonplussed about it

abraham lincoln was a thot

Yeah the statue is infuriating. I am someone who kept an open mind about that Medusa by City Hall, but Wollstonecraft should not be depicted in the nude as it separates her from her male contemporaries. Making her “timeless” is stupid; she is relevant to us today because she was an acute observer of her world in the 18th century. You know, they don’t make statues of Kierkegaard with a backwards hat and his cock out.

just got an idea for a cool new statue

Agree that the statue is crap but Wollstonecraft is not depicted in the nude or at all.

The nude woman is “everywoman” in theory right?

Even in that case, idk. Most will see it as a depiction of her. And why depict “women“ in general to memorialize Wollstonecraft in particular?

i didn't know it was cool to have your cock out these days

It's now called "Toobining."

they don’t make statues of Kierkegaard with a backwards hat

maybe that’s the only way he can be understood tho

every single athletic shoe is ugly.

almost every single shoe, in general is ugly.

shoes are ugly

Disagree. Foot boats can be aesthetically pleasing.

Oh wow

I thought the top bit was the main bit

Fuck

it's got the main bits though

A Vindication of the Right to Abstain from Pubic Maintenance

fuck that, i don't want pubes in my Cheerios

I think most teenage boys are going to be too busy giggling at the pubes to notice the tits

also before I scrolled up I thought cardamon was talking about shoes

(specifically the Kanye shoes)

pubes and tits in shoes?

yr kid'll never take em off

Calling it now - someone is definitely going to take some green paint and turn those to chiapubes.

on looking at the statue again, it looks less like pubes and more like a second face

_they don’t make statues of Kierkegaard with a backwards hat_

maybe that’s the only way he can be understood tho

Here are three:

a) Starman is Bowie's worst big single of the 70s.

b) Raspberry Beret is Prince's worst big single of the 80s.

c) Of the run: Blue-For the Roses-Court & Spark-Hissing of Summer Lawns-Hejira, Blue is the worst album.

a, this is correct

b, maybe but that's like being the worst painting by Leonardo da Vinci. still pretty frkn great

c, well that's just wrong
