His sin was to be portrayed in the 1939 bronze work on horseback next to armed native guides of the American West and Africa on foot. If the trio were all mounted or all standing, they would have had no “racial hierarchy” that the museum found upsetting. Add in a cowardly Bill de Blasio, and one of our greatest New Yorkers has been banished. He’s good enough for Mount Rushmore, but not for Central Park West.
What's ironic is that policy wise, TR was a progressive. He was an environmentalist, called for an inheritance and income tax, championed trust busting and regulation, improved food and drug quality, even was progressive WRT labor.

Don’t worry. He’ll find a SCOTUS nominee that is a mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking woman. That’s a storybook, man.

Irony:
-Become one if the leading, if not the leading, voices in Congress calling to defund the police
-Hire your own private security
-Have your car hit by gunfire.

Spotify getting cleaned up.

First Neil Young's garbage gets canned.
Now Graham Nash pulls his crap from the channel.
And someone named India Arie (who?) has put her foot down and removed shit that nobody's heard of from Spotify.

Now if they can get a few more washed up POS's to get their crap off the platform we'd all be better off for it.

Skip ahead to the start of the presentation and watch the first minute.

The wokahadism continues at Microsoft..
Microsoft has rolled out a new 'inclusiveness' spellchecker for the latest version of Office 365 which highlights text and offers politically correct alternatives to phrases it perceives to be 'problematic'…

…. But the tech giant has developed an additional feature which reviews a user's work and decides whether the language used could be potentially offensive.

The function produces a purple line beneath words or phrases it deems problematic while offering more 'inclusive' alternatives, and is included on the Office 365 version of Microsoft Word from 2019 onwards.

Microsoft has released a statement in which it recognised that the inclusivity spellchecker may not be suitable for all scenarios and stressed that users can choose to turn the checker off at any point to be in control of their final output.
