there is this new movie out called "king richard" staring will smith playing serena and venus williams father.
i don't know much about this, but i heard that they were raised by jw parents.
how does that factor into the movie and their growing up aspiring tennis stars?.
It depends on whether the Williams family are involved with the making of the movie or not - Venus and Serena are producers or executive producers, I think.
The movie's title should give us a bit of a clue, lol.
Expect all the batshit crazy stuff their dad did to be toned down or left out.
did it really happen?
i keep seeing it on twitter .... did biden really ... have a bathroom accident ... in the vatican?.
Er, is this for reals?
It's getting so difficult to tell parody and reality apart these days, lol.
so, in the uk there was recently a bill which was nodded through parliament - the animal sentience bill - which was backed by vegan activists.. dogs, cats.
cows, even lobsters now have been recognised to have feelings.. first of all, let me say that if you want to go vegan that's fine with me.
we're all allowed our individual dietary choices.. but for how much longer?
If we take their life we must do so humanely - yes, I agree with you.
But the Vegans don't, that was kinda my point.

All words. I don't believe they are serious about anything unless and until they go after Halal meat production - yes, you have a point.
I was talking with a Vegan on a Vegan post on FaceBook. I asked him if Inuit people should stop eating meat and wearing polar bear fur. He couldn't answer.
So, just to twist the knife, I suggested an idea: Inuit people should jettison their culture, stop eating meat and wearing animal fur, convert to Veganism, migrate en masse to Vancouver, Toronto, etc., and live like white people, lol.
The point is that the Vegan activist lobby is basically a bunch of white, middle class people who try to shame other white people. The minute you raise other people and cultures, they clam up tighter than a duck's arsehole, lol.

I think people who campaign for animal rights deserve our support - but their aim isn't to improve livestock conditions, it's to stop meat being produced.
BTW, I'm all for improving livestock conditions ... if that's the only aim.

But for how much longer? It doesn't take a genius to see where this is heading: Vegans are going to use this Bill to improve livestock welfare. On the surface of it, that sounds good. But whenever Vegans are asked what conditions would be better, they always answer the same thing: none. So, Vegans are going to use this Bill and any resultant legislation to try and close down meat-producing farms.
Yes, Vegans - an unelected minority - will try to force everyone else to conform. And this sounds an awful lot like a new kind of aristocracy.
a news article has the headline of " ‘case closed’: 99.9% of scientists agree climate emergency caused by humans"; see https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/oct/19/case-closed-999-of-scientists-agree-climate-emergency-caused-by-humans .
the article says in part the following.. 'the scientific consensus that humans are altering the climate has passed 99.9%, according to research that strengthens the case for global action at the cop26 summit in glasgow.. the degree of scientific certainty about the impact of greenhouse gases is now similar to the level of agreement on evolution and plate tectonics, the authors say, based on a survey of nearly 90,000 climate-related studies.
this means there is practically no doubt among experts that burning fossil fuels, such as oil, gas, coal, peat and trees, is heating the planet and causing more extreme weather.. a previous survey in 2013 showed 97% of studies published between 1991 and 2012 supported the idea that human activities are altering earth’s climate.. this has been updated and expanded by the study by cornell university that shows the tiny minority of sceptical voices has diminished to almost nothing as evidence mounts of the link between fossil-fuel burning and climate disruption.. the latest survey of peer-reviewed literature published from 2012 to november 2020 was conducted in two stages.
Ok, so what would a net Carbon zero future look like?
Will we still be allowed to eat meat?
Drive cars?
Go abroad on holiday?
Will Inuit people be allowed to wear polar bear fur?
Will Sentinelese people still be allowed to hunt pigs and turtles? (they kill these animals by slitting their throat, you know.)

'climate emergency'? - who wrote that, Greta Thunberg? lol
Scientists broadly agree that humans are polluting the planet. But they don't really know how bad the situation is or will be.
Whenever they say 'hottest or coldest temperature since records began' I have to laugh because our records only go back a couple of centuries. The weather has being going on for hundreds of millions of years, lol.
All this 'we've got 20 years to save Earth' crap is fear-mongering nonsense, quite similar to how doomsday cults operate.
It's good to live cleaner, greener lives but don't let scientists who are in the pay of governments scare you or fool you. Treat whatever they say with skepticism.
so alec baldwin shot a woman dead on set and seriously injured another man.. what do we put this down as?
a tragic accident?
maybe ... except that implies no one was to blame.. the more you find out, the more it seems that this was due to negligence and lack of attention to safety.
@cyberjesus - it was his film.
Alec Baldwin was one of the producers.
He has responsibility for the set. And a loaded gun with real bullets was on set - something that is against the rules.
