One interesting theory is that the figure is wearing a knit cap over her head, making this the earliest evidence of that technology.

When Huckleberry Finn went, the die was cast. And book banning isn’t just a liberal thing

Many years ago( about 20 now) I worked with the criminally insane in a hosptial somewhere in LA county. I brought in the old show" The Little Rascals." Big mistake. I had no idea it was considered racist and me not knowing was even more racist. It didn't get better for me. I ended up in some sensitivity training because I told a teacher blacks were not the only slaves as were Jews and....the teacher went running to fill out forms of racism. Thing was she was encouraging the black kids to hate on the other kids( teens). But I was the wrong color doncha see. I learned you don't get in the way of a racist teacher propagandizing hatred to the criminally and mentally disturbed when most the staff believed the same as her and could sign whatever the heck they wanted on those little reports..

Now I thought Trump might be a stopgap to the PC machine but a year ion I'm not so certain. The steamroller of history repeating itself in a very bad way is crushing everything and everyone in it's way be it algorithms, "fact check" sites, or just idiotic brainwashed snowflake Bolsheviks just looking for something to b**ch about.

“James Joyce’s masterpiece is obscene.”

I was pretty sure it was intended as a torture device

I recently got a 24-hour suspension on Facebook for posting a well-known meme from South Park’s “With Apologies with Jesse Jackson.” Then I just got a 3-day suspension from Facebook and a 12-hour suspension from Twitter for posting a meme of Michael Jackson eating Tide Pods.

Take a look at my profiles on those Social Media sites to see the real reason I’ve been shut-out.

I’m in my 11th year on Facebook and my 9th year on Twitter. Have I turned bad? Have the rules changed? Others have warned about watching those who are following you on Social Media. If you are a conservative, you will have stalkers and trolls. They will report you for trivial reasons to with the object of having you silenced.

But it’s getting tighter out there; Social Media is run by Leftists and their sensitivity is selective:

“...if a person who has access to my publicly accessible posts/comments uses logical fallacies and/or demonstrates that they are obtuse in their comments, I un-friend and block them immediately. [current count: 200+]

People who resort to name-calling, distorting your views, try to disrupt a conversation, etc. contribute nothing to a dialog and tend to be fond of silencing those with whom they disagree. Here on FB, that means submitting complaints for daring to express contrary views, which can result in warnings, suspensions or bannings.”

But; have you been placed in the virtual corner for a time by something you’ve posted on FR?

THAT gives ya street cred!!

(And a chance to catch up on your Honey-do list; too!)

Some folks will foam at the mouth over the slightest things these days...

As I said, the real reason is conservative voices will accumulate stalkers who are waiting for a chance to report you so you can be silenced.

And regarding any suspension here on FR, I’m in my 15th year here. I’ve had a couple of my threads deleted because of comments by others. That’s just how admins roll here; rather than delete the offending comments, just wipe out the entire discussion.

That’s why I moved to FB in the first place. But in the aftermath of the 2016 election, Social Media is cracking down on conservatives.

I’m doing a lot of self-censorship these days — but not of ideas; just how they are expressed.
