I am reading the room if it's offensive then say you're offended. That's called difference we are allowed to be ourselves are we not
One person does not constitute a Lynch Mob nor should any of our celebratory humor be undone. We have a right to make jokes and use language as we deem appropriate. Offended individuals can Express their own emotional response. Deletion is suppression of free speech.

I personally never saw him that way but you know opinions are opinions that everyone's got one and we all know what they smell like LOL! I appreciate the wit even if others are offended. It's an inside joke and people need to get over themselves. Good Times they were indeed.

It's inside humor I understand that if there is a concern with the term it is contextual these are mostly British English speakers and it is not uncommon to see that word used I've done it myself. There are much bigger issues to be upset about. An inside joke is not one of them

What happened was it the post about Patrick? I found it funny myself not at all insulting but I do not think that people appreciated the word in play. Good Lord take the sticks out of your ass and focus on reality we have much bigger issues to address than inside humor. SMH
I don't understand what's insensitive. Someone please explain? Thank you. I didn't see or can I find and do not care to backtrack posts at this time I appreciate your assistance.

Blood on the leaves and blood at the root
Black bodies swingin' in the Southern breeze
Strange fruit hangin' from the poplar trees..."

Alan! What an interesting mix! Indeed, and there is emerging evidence to show that human language and programming appear to be processed both in the same area of our brains. I posted an article on this the other day, nitter.vloup.ch/mholzschlag/stat… you might enjoy. :D
As a computational linguist and student of neurosciences and human cognition I found this article to be so compelling for all people who are both verbal and work in technology especially as programmers. Highly recommended read!

Arizona is burning down and not just wildfires. It's nightmarish. The worst I witnessed was the Aspen Fire - 85,000 Acres in the Coronado National Forest and Catalina, where #Bighorn is causing huge devastation now. With tongue in cheek I say "Damn, we didn't sweep underbrush."

Speaking of words (pun alert heh) someone asked me what I was working on and I mentioned I'm preparing for a PhD. in Cognitive Computational Neuroscience: Ethology, Language and Cognition and how it relates to the World Wide Web. And it was a PhD. who asked. Not easy to explain🤣

Some terrible deaths we are not talking as much about ( Oluwatoyin Salau's horrific sexual assault and killing is gaining public attention) are the deaths of Riah Milton, Dominique Fells in NY and Tony McDade's killing in FL at the hands of Police. It's not murder. It's genocide.

I just passed this on my way home from an errand. Fire and Arizona, Arizona on Fire, People on Fire, World On Fire, Lives under siege 24/7. We must really learn a better way of being. Me, you, all of us. Or there is no human future.

Thank you for doing this! I am readying myself for a Ph.D. program in the field, focusing on Ethology, Linguistics and Cognition. I very much would like to begin making contacts so as to gain insight, resources, mentorship and refine my academic goals. I welcome all suggestions!
This is my city. This is my heart. This is my madness.

BREAKING: @Tucson_Police now evacuating floors around suspect’s unit at the #Tucson House. Sgt. Dugan says officers have now seen the man WITH a gun. Trying to make contact & resolve situation peacefully. @KOLDNews
Wow. That's strikes me as a very powerful metaphor more so than the chessboard. I'm going to think on that one a little while. Very compelling my friend!
