Прилетит вдруг волшебник в голубом вертолете
И бесплатно покажет кино.
С днем рожденья поздравит
И, наверно, оставит мне в подарок пятьсот эскимо!
Oops! Теперь уж не подарит:
After nearly 100 years, Eskimo Pie ice cream will get a new name.
"We are committed to being a part of the solution on racial equality, and recognize the term is derogatory," Elizabell Marquez, head of marketing for parent company Dreyer's Grand Ice Cream, told Reuters and the Wall Street Journal in a statement.
А эти что-то замешкались, ай-яй-яй, нехорошо:

1.Airbnb Sends Out “Racism Guide” to White Allies – Urges Them to Show Up and Be an Active Ally
2. Children’s toymaker LEGO has reportedly requested its affiliate retailers pull marketing for a number of playsets depicting law enforcement and emergency responders, as well as “crooks,” and even the White House, following the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police and the ensuing demonstrations.
3. Chevy Chase residents gathered in Norwood Local Park Monday evening for a silent vigil. Attendees were silent for nine minutes to symbolize the approximate amount of time Chauvin pressed his knee on Floyd’s neck. Many knelt down on their knees to show solidarity with the African American community, in a gesture that has been used to protest police brutality.
Zoe Ibson, who brought a Black Lives Matter sign, helped her mother distribute leaflets at houses on Monday. Ibson said it’s important for people in Chevy Chase, a predominantly white community, to show solidarity with the African American community.
4.After Boston University President Robert Brown suffered sharp criticism for a mild email he sent on Monday in response to the recent police killings of Black people and subsequent protests, Brown issued a second, strongly worded letter that apologized for the first and condemned racism and police brutality.
5. Amazing moment white parishioners gather and kneel in George Floyd's hometown of Houston and beg for black community's forgiveness for their 'systematic racism'
Всего за какие-нибудь скромные 70 тысяч в год Йель дает отменное образование:
Starting next year, Yale University will no longer offer “Introduction to Art History: Renaissance to Present,” a once-renowned survey course of art through Western Civilization, because it has been deemed insufficiently inclusive of non-European artwork.
The news agency notes that while the course was once considered “quintessential,” the decision is the “latest response to student uneasiness over an idealized Western ‘canon’ – a product of an overwhelmingly white, straight European and male cadre of artists.”While the course will still be offered for the duration of the term, the news agency notes that the topics in the course have changed significantly over time. Now, the curriculum will emphasize the relationship between works from Western and non-Western countries, and students will be encouraged to consider the ways the artwork relates to race, gender, class, capitalism, and climate change.

Термин 'Золотой век' применительно к Голландии 17 века теперь не комильфо:
The Amsterdam Museum Drops the Term ‘Golden Age,’ Arguing That It Whitewashes the Inequity of the Period
The Problem of ‘the Golden Age’
by Tom van der Molen (a curator at the Amsterdam Museum)
Dutch Golden Age, a period that witnessed the unprecedented, unique blossoming of power, wealth and cultural development in a small territory, was an important part of the way in which history was used to cement a sense of national identity. He therefore referred to it emphatically as ‘our Golden Age’ the heyday was our pride, our property, and part of the identify of every ‘cultivated Dutchman’. In other words, ‘Golden Age’ is a term devised to gold-plate Dutch national identity, to dress ‘cultivated Dutchness’ in a coat of excellence – indeed, superiority – with regard to all other nations. This means that ‘Golden Age’ is a term that automatically excludes certain people. If your ancestors did not share in the power and wealth of the seventeenth century, or were actually among the victims of the Dutch Republic’s efforts to increase its power and wealth, the term ‘Golden Age’ is at best irrelevant to you, and at worst a phrase that bristles with hostility.

За ню ответишь
Dec. 3rd, 2019 10:48 pmНедавно широко обсуждался моральный облик Гогена.
Оказывается, он не первая жертва. К Ренуару привязались уже несколько лет назад, но мне только сегодня попалась статья об этом.
Выдержки:
...in recent years, Renoir's reputation has been tarnished with accusations of misogyny. On top of this, his trademark style is viewed as less than favourable.
Twenty-first-century internet culture has playfully rallied against Renoir, exemplified most emphatically in Max Geller's Renoir Sucks At Painting, an Instagram account which snowballed into a quasi-serious protest movement named 'God Hates Renoir'. In 2015, anti-Renoir 'activists' could be seen standing outside American national museums to protest (!!!) the artist's inclusion in their collections...
This indifference or 'cancellation' of Renoir doesn't solely come down to a dislike of his painterly style, but is symptomatic of today's politically correct, identity-orientated culture, in which many an eyebrow is raised over white male artists who once obsessively painted nude women.
Recently, the New Yorker art critic Peter Schjeldahl published an article titled 'Renoir's Problem Nudes', which argued that although we may question the effectiveness or purpose of 'cancel culture', Renoir shouldn't be quickly excused for his sexism.
Ironically, in the context of a politically 'woke' age, Renoir's apolitical art has been politicised by a discontented community of art lovers, who have little time for a genre that doesn't speak to their view of the world, i.e. that we are facing a pressing political situation.
I wonder who the next target will be.
Критерии отбора

Продали бы другим, не таким woke, музеям имеющеeся у них старье (Рафаэля, Боттичелли, Рембрандта, Хальса и прочих).
На фига им белые мужчины?
Конец света, кажется, таки близок
Jul. 22nd, 2019 08:34 pmШведская девочка Greta Thunberg (2003 года рождения), которая в 2018 году отказаласъ ходить в школу в целях борьбы с глобальным потеплением, приглашена в Национальное собрание Франции, где и появится завтра, 23 июля.
Le Figaro:
Редакционная статья 'Фигаро' (вполне скептическая) посвящена ее визиту.
Среди читателей газеты, ответивших на вопрос, одобряют ли они ее появление в парламенте, 80% сказали 'нет.'
На самолетах она не летает и мяса не ест. Девчушка додавила родителей, и теперь вегетарианствует вся семья.
У недоделанной Жанны д'Арк диагностировали Аспергера и обсессивно-компульсивное расстройство, но это, похоже, никого не смущает и не мешает ее кипучей деятельности во благо человечества.
В 2019 году издательство Penguin Books опубликовало сборник ее речей.
В январе этого года борчиха приезжала в Давос, а в июне разговаривала по видео связи с Оказией (они нашли друг друга - обе считают, что до point of no return осталось 12 лет).

Пойду-ка я съем в знак протеста котлету.
НЕ ПОКЛАДАЯ РУК
Jul. 19th, 2019 06:02 pm Воспитание нового человека в СССР Калифорнии:
Братьев и сестер тоже упразднили. 'Brother' теперь будет 'sibling', сестра тоже 'sibling'.
Стало быть, 'brotherly love' станет 'sibling's love', a 'братья по оружию' - 'siblings in arms'.
Каина теперь будут спрашивать "where is your sibling Abel?'
The Wright siblings создали аэроплан, а The Lumière siblings - кино;
The Barry siblings пели песни, The Strugatsky siblings писали книги, а The Siblings Grimm собирали фольклор и писали сказки.
В литературе же просто красота:
'The Karamazov siblings'
'The Serapion siblings'
'Three siblings' (пьеса)
'Sibling Carrie'
'The Siblings" (А.Н. Толстой)
The Lautensack siblings'
и т.д.
А лучше всех будет выглядеть на английском название романа Федора Абрамова 'Братья и сестры'.
