You know how unreasonable The Simpsons looks now (high school and some tech school and mom doesn’t have to work)? Totally normal back then.
This is the result of the minimum wage being basically stagnant since the Reagan administration.Sat Mar 6 19:30:50 2021

Turns out that “cancelling” this movie hides the lead actor, James Baskett, who played Uncle Remus. Baskett’s depiction led to his being the first black man to receive an Oscar, a decade before Sidney Poitier. Lots of other interesting things in this video about Song of the South (like it takes place after the war and depicts freed people, not slaves)
Song of the South is in the news again, and as usual, it’s not positive. Disney changing Splash Mountain made me think about Song of the South again, and if there’s one thing that stands out in the movie, it’s Uncle Remus.
Uncle Remus is played by James Baskett, who’s mostly forgotten today. I understand the reasoning, but I just don’t think it’s fair to Mr.Baskett. I think he deserves more recognition, and that’s what we’re taking on in this episode of Disney In-Depth!
NOTE: This is NOT a defense of Song of the South. While I don’t like the idea of pretending it doesn’t exist, I can see there’s a lot wrong with it. It’s controversial for a reason. Also, this isn’t a true defense of Uncle Remus the character as much as it is about the actor playing him. The video’s name is mostly because James Baskett’s name is obscure.
NOTE 2: In the months since this video, I’m disappointed to see some people are missing the point behind this video. This is NOT an attempt to rehabilitate SotS: I don’t think that’s even possible. I DO think the movie should be acknowledged and discussed, as many have argued for in the past. But I made the video to shed some light on an actor I have come to respect. I only bring up Harris and Reconstruction for context. This is really about Baskett, not SotS. Otherwise I wouldn’t have included “Harlem is Heaven,” etc.
That said, the other end is even worse! I’ve seen some shocking comments. This video is not the place to minimize or ignore the obvious racial sensitivity in the film. Even if you can’t see how SotS could be controversial, keep in mind there are countless people in the Black community who have legitimate reasons to be wary of the movie.

A user on Reddit who goes by MKorostoff was apparently bored on a sick day and decided to try to figure out which celebrity was most likely conceived a the Woodstock festival, based on timing and least distance to the festival. Turns out that the most likely were Tina Fey or Uma Thurman.

I used to use Internet Relay Chat (IRC) a lot back in the earlier days of the internet (1990s) and I liked it a lot. Recently I learned about Discord, which seems to be something like the same thing.
Does anyone on my friends list here use Discord? If you’d like to have me in your chat list, please PM me your discord name so I can connect to you.
Thanks.

About 6 of my Facebook friends will go “so THAT is what this was called?”
From P.D.Q. Bach’s Toot Suite for Calliope Four Hands, S. 212°: “Fuga Vulgaris” or “Toot Fugue,” based on “The Volga Boatman”, played by the famous 4-handed organist Immanuel Pedal.

This is nothing compared to some of you, but I got my first message that Facebook removed a post because i violated their community standards.
It was a pictues of Churchill in a pose he made famous, and a former leader of Germany in his famous pose, with text saying the scissors beats paper.
