Com a supremacia branca a todo vapor nos EUA e todos esses corpos de pessoas negras sendo encontrados enforcados em árvores nos últimos meses, a Converse realmente achou que poderia postar essa merda e que ABSOLUTAMENTE NINGUÉM iria notar?PQP! O dog whistle escancarado!
A Converse ad shows a woman wearing white attire lit to form what looks like a KKK hood.
Sneakers dangling beside her, read by many as lynching imagery.
This wasn’t hidden. It was styled, lit, and approved by a creative team.
Someone signed off on this.
Converse says sorry. The image was still up hours later.
An apology doesn’t undo what got past legal, marketing, and leadership at every step.
We keep having this conversation because corporations keep failing the same test.
Do better means catching this before it airs — not after we’re offended.
Let's play a game. What if I stood on the street outside his home, documented his comings and goings, and sold those records for money... how long until I’m arrested? And how are my actions materially different than the intended function of his product?
Moved in with new roommate who accommodated scooter, was helpful, met twice before signing and paying. 2 days later elevator broke. I didn’t do it. Now told to leave it in the lobby, use stairs, cannot use scooter when elevator is fixed. Roommate won’t give me mgrs number.
Doctors are not Costco. Procurement of everything needed by doctors and hospitals, like Costco , would cut the cost of healthcare
They pay more. Mark up a set amount. Charge less.
Exactly what healthcare needs.
For a penultimate episode of this series, whether it be House of the Dragon, Game of Thrones, or A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, I expected more. I'm sorry, but this was a letdown
"There's no way you can write a ten page paper without chatGPT"
WE COULD LITERALLY DO EVERYTHING THAT EVER HAPPENED IN HUMAN HISTORY WITHOUT CHATGPT WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT.
more than one hundred years ago a young man named Upton Sinclair, living in a small cabin about two miles from this house, on Rosedale Rd., Princeton, wrote a novel exposing the unspeakably filthy conditions of meat-packing in Chicago, titled "The Jungle." President Teddy Roosevelt read the novel, his stomach (which was considerable) was turned, he called Sinclair to the White House, & soon thereafter laws were passed to regulate (to some degree) the meat-packing industry.
Today we don't have a US president who can read, let alone read an entire novel; we have a US president who has deregulated industries that provide food & medicine for us, to our detriment.
Six months ago today, we lost our Founder, Ms. Shirley Raines.
She turned giving into a movement, and you’ve kept it alive.
Now, in her honor:
🎒 Back-to-school drive: Aug. 29 in Vegas
💜 Shirley Raines Legacy Grant: $1,000 to 5 people every quarter
The movement continues 💜
