It’s almost shocking, but it is Hollywood

New rules for best picture:

At least one of the lead actors or significant supporting actors must be from an underrepresented racial or ethnic group:  Asian; Hispanic/Latinx; Black/African American; Indigenous/Native American/Alaskan Native; Middle Eastern/North African; Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander; Other underrepresented race or ethnicity.

Those are only in the first paragraph. There are a bunch more, having to do with professional crews, creative leadership and department heads, training opportunities, internships, and etc. into infinity.

Los Angeles health dictator sets Halloween rules

 “Door-to-door trick-or-treating is not allowed because it can be very difficult to maintain proper social distancing on porches and at front doors especially in neighborhoods that are popular with trick or treaters,” the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health said in its recently released guidelines. “‘Trunk-or-treating’ events where children go from car to car instead of door to door to receive treats are also not allowed.”

Gatherings or parties with non-household members are not permitted, even if held outdoors, and neither are carnivals, festivals, live entertainment or haunted house attractions. – CBS News.

Cleaning up after the war

Trucks, tanks, airplanes, midget subs, cruisers, aircraft carriers, and etc.

Chemical weapons by the thousands of tons, including sarin, soman and tabun, which, the article says, the Allies were not even aware of until Germany surrendered and “What’s all this, then?” when discovered.

From Legal Insurrection:

Michael Dixon, the director of the Natural History Museum, explained to staff: “The Black Lives Matter movement has demonstrated that we need to do more and act faster, so as a first step we have commenced an institution-wide review on naming and recognition.”

He added: “We want to learn and educate ourselves, recognising that greater understanding and awareness on diversity and inclusion are essential.”
