    “This f – – king bullshit wouldn’t have happened with Zelenskyy,” Penn said of Ukraine’s sixth president. “Will Smith would never have left that chair to be part of stupid violence. It never would have happened. I thought, well, f – – k, you know? I’ll give them to Ukraine. They can be melted down to bullets they can shoot at the Russians.”

      why do people care abt the damn slap so much?

      Will Smith is an African-American man. That slap triggered a lot of people’s latent racism.

      i got yelled at by some old people at a poetry slam. they kept saying that “you cant do that in front of white people”

      I was like “but you can make fun of a black women in front of white people?”

      and they were like “yes kids are too sensitive now a days, men make fun of their wives in public and let people laugh at them”

      and i said " yeah I guess I expect more respect from men, my partner would never make fun of my appearance and would confront anyone who did, especially a friend "

      and they had no real response, i think it was being live streamed lol they then went on to talk about how black peoples problems are our own faults, and called for respectability politics. I never went back to the poetry slam, the poetry was AWFUL anyway.

          some more scenery, a echo-y microphone, incense and essential oils so strong it hurts your head, a very dimly lit room, a mother and son poetry duo, african statues placed haphazardly around the room.

        I’ve heard the take of ‘not in front of the white people!’ And I’ve got mixed feelings on the idea. You’re right though - making fun of a black woman’s appearance is really fucked up and didn’t get nearly as much attention as the slap.

        And who would want a partner who made shitty boomer jokes about them? I’ve never thought to make fun of my partner’s appearance to their face, let alone to others.

          i dont think the boomer “i hate my wife” jokes were jokes, they actually hate their wives and the wives think its normal.

    actor Sean Penn, noted for his consistent and rational sense of proportion.

    During a break in filming, Penn attacked extra Jeffrey Klein, who photographed him and Robert Duvall. The court found that Penn spat and swore at Klein, who responded by spitting back at the actor, which prompted him to repeatedly punch the extra with a closed fist until members of the cast and crew successfully dragged him away.

      Sean Penn is a truly vile person based on everything I’ve ever heard about him

      CW violence, mentions of SA

      Didn’t he literally tie up Madonna and beat and sexually assault her over a period of days? I don’t know if it was ever confirmed since Madonna supposedly tried to cover it up because it would be bad for her image

        Well, according to the Daily Beast (so grain of salt but…)

        CW: Just...lots, but also SA and violence and kidnapping

        Article

        According to a police report filed by Madonna, Penn scaled their Malibu home that afternoon, found Madonna alone in her bedroom, and told her that he owned her “lock, stock, and barrel.”

        According to reports, “When she told him she was leaving the house, he tried to bind her hands with an electric lamp and cord. Screaming and afraid, Madonna fled from the bedroom. What followed was a nine-hour ordeal which left her deeply shaken. Penn chased her into the living room, caught her and bound her to a chair with heavy twine. Then he threatened to cut off her hair.”

        He allegedly “smacked and roughed up” Madonna while she was tied to a chair, and then left for a few hours to buy more booze—leaving his then-wife bound and gagged—only to return and continue terrorizing her. He only agreed to untie her after she “agreed to perform a degrading sex act on him,” and then fled the house, got in her car, and raced to the sheriff’s office—eventually stumbling inside.

    I was going to make a silly comment about how gold wouldn’t make for good bullets but that got me down a rabbit hole of looking up what Oscar’s are made of and if there have ever been bronze or gold bullets. Apprently Oscar’s are solid bronze and gold plated. And while bronze bullets do exist they seem to be more for target practice and not serious shooting, and while there are some meme gold bullets I saw on YouTube, gold is actually not as soft as lead and therefore wouldn’t be as suitable.

        I was going to make a smartass remark about how lead is obviously denser than gold, but then I looked it up and gold is almost twice as dense as lead, and now I realize my remark would have actually been a dumbass one, not a smartass one.

  • To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

  3. Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

  4. Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link.

  5. Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users.

  6. Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

  7. American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don’t post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
