At first I heard yanny, then laurel, then alternating yanny and laurel. My sister says she hears both at the same time and if I concentrate I can too...

Well, yeah, obviously.

THE TRAILER'S FINALLY HERE!

I've wanted a proper, faithful Jungle Book adaptation for quite a while now.  The trailer's CGI isn't that great, but hopefully it's just that way for the trailer.

Side note: why is Kaa once again female?!

-Sometime later, the second mate was unexpectedly rescued by the subplot, which had been trailing a bit behind the boat (and the plot). The whole story moved along.

I'm looking at the news and wow.  Just wow.  The rapper Kendrick Lamar invited several different fans on stage to join him in rapping a song full of n-words.  Several of them omitted the n-words while singing.  Eventually, a teenage girl with white skin was invited up since she knew all the lyrics.  She omitted the first n-word but then didn't skip it later.  For that, she was booed off the stage, and stupid people all over Twitter are saying this was right and just.

COME ON.  IT'S A FLIPPING SONG.  IT'S NOT JUST FOR ONE SKIN COLOR.  SHE WASN'T USING IT AS A SLUR.

PEOPLE LITERALLY SAID SHE CAN'T SAY THE WORD BECAUSE HER SKIN IS WHITE, AND I SAW A TWEET THAT LITERALLY CALLED HER A RACIST FOR SAYING A WORD THAT IS PART OF THE LYRICS.

Saying one thing goes for one skin color while another thing goes for another is the definition of racism.

Sorry not sorry.

If you agree with the crowd's actions, then you are a racist.

Uggghhh, I read these things and I want to fight the world.

I didn't know what I said was controversial here.  I was just expressing my feelings.  Do you disagree with what I said? ???

Hopefully it won't.  I guess I just wanted to vent my frustrations as well as educate people on something they might not otherwise have known about.  If it gets out of hand, I'll move it to the Hearth.

Nearly every time I look at the news, I feel like I'm just on the losing side of an entire culture war.  Guess it's better than selling your soul by joining (or pretending to join) the winning side.

@Jukka the Sling : I wouldn't worry about it too much. To do what we can for the common good is our responsibility, to stand for what is right is our privilege, and we can do no more. Society will answer for society's mistakes, and that will have to do. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
"'Tis the business of small minds to shrink, but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death."
-Thomas Paine

"Integrity and firmness is all I can promise; these, be the voyage long or short, shall never forsake me although I may be deserted by all men."
-George Washington

Courage: Not only the willingness to die manfully, but also the determination to live decently.
