UNLV law school apologizes for using word ‘picnic,’ changes it to ‘Lunch by the Lake’


A scheduled “picnic” sponsored by the University of Nevada Las Vegas law school’s Environmental Law Society has been renamed “Lunch by the Lake” due to “diversity and inclusion” concerns.

According to a memo obtained by Libs of TikTok, the law group informed members that the word “picnic” has “historical and offensive connotations,” and apologized for “any harm or discomfort” caused by its use.

The group’s view mirrors that of the University of Michigan’s IT department from several years ago: “Picnic” was included in a “Words Matter Task Force’s” list of offensive words and phrases along with “brown bag,” “blacklist” and “long time, no see” among others.

At the time, Reuters did a fact check on the alleged offensiveness of “picnic”; its verdict: It “does not originate from racist lynchings” but instead comes from the 300-plus-year-old French word “pique-nique,” meaning a potluck-like social gathering.

Streaming music is not a viable way to make a living unless you are already big time. It's not like the old days where as an indie artist you could sell albums and keep a sizable chunk of the proceeds. Streaming pays about 1/3 of a cent per listen (if you're lucky), so you need over 33 million streams to generate just $100k in income.

I have music streaming with multiple bands that I've played with and it's really just a promotional tool at this point. Whereas in the 90's, we could press 1,000 CD's and sell them for $5 each which would net $4,000 if we didn't give any away. Now you need at least 1.2 million streams to generate that same amount of money, an impossible number for a local band that plays small shows to achieve.
 
This is going to go down in Snowflake history as the second worst chant after “defund the police!!”🤦🏽‍♂️😂😂😂😂🇺🇸

Yeah, They Might Wanna Rethink This: Columbia University Protesters Proclaim ‘We Are Hamas’​

The New York Post on Thursday publishedvideo of a man wearing a kippah and with an Israeli flag draped over his shoulders passing by a crowd of protesters at Columbia. One young man shouted at him, “Keep it moving, you Zionist pig!” A few moments later, the man with the Israeli flag, responding to something that was said to him, asks, “Hamas is okay?” To that, a woman with a keffiyeh over her head and covering her mouth bangs on a metal crowd-control barrier and shouts furiously, “We are Hamas!”

Another supporter of Israel asks her, “You’re what? You’re Hamas?” as she keeps banging on the barrier. She responds while continuing to bang on the barrier, “Yes, we’re all Hamas, pig!” Another protester adds, “Long live Hamas!”

 
And sanity is slowly restored to the people…👍🏽😂😂😂🇺🇸

Washington Commanders Agree To Un-Cancel Redskins Logo​

 
I still don't understand why some have to change their name and others don't. Like the Kansas City Chiefs, they say they were named after the mayor's nickname but for many years their mascot was a Native American riding a horse and they have quite a bit of Native imagery in their logo and references in their fanbase.

I read somewhere that most Natives don't even mind the different sports teams that have some reference to Native culture.

Do you notice on real estate shows that the main bedroom is not called the Primary?
