Cracker Barrel Logo Change Sparks Fury
Cracker Barrel Logo Change Sparks Fury Cracker Barrel has changed its logo for the first time in 48 years—and people are cracking up about it online. The change has prompted backlash, including from conservatives, though many have taken to social media to ridicule the backlash. A spokesperson for Cracker Barrel told Newsweek, "Our values haven't changed, and the heart and soul of Cracker Barrel haven't changed." Why It Matters Logo changes, branding, and advertising choices made by companies have become a hot-button issue online in recent years, often signaling the onset of online culture wars, as conservatives and social media users have criticized decisions made by brands, likening changes to being 'woke.'

Dems vacate endorsement Of Socialist Mayor hopeful in Minnesota.
This is what Dem Democracy looks like in Minnesota ,the Democratic Socialist member win was rejected and a scandal issues, "Why it matters: Minnesota DFL officials' extraordinary decision undoes a triumph for the democratic socialist state senator that generated national buzz, cementing Fateh as "the Mamdani of Minneapolis" and emboldening left-wing critics hoping to unseat incumbent Mayor Jacob Frey". "As part of its decision, the state party rebuked the Minneapolis DFL, placing the chapter on probation for two years and requiring local officials to submit improvement plans". . https://www.axios.com/local/twin-cities/2025/08/21/fateh-dfl-endorsement-revoked -

UK Lucy Connolly to go FREE after outrage !
Just par for the course for a lawyer, if you had read De l'esprit des lois, ("The Spirit of the Law") by Montesquieu, you would know that when interpreting laws and any text we look not just at the words but at the spirit of the laws and words, to see what they really convey. And I'm afraid poor Lucy Connolly really had a temporary lapse of emotional control where she was inciting violence according to the laws of England, and I think if you look at the substance of her text AND the spirit of that text then there is absolutely no doubt what she was trying to say. Now, of course, I vastly sympathise in that her motivation was the killing of children and one may say her outburst was a normal human reaction, nevertheless, under the law there is no question at all that her outburst was incitement to violence and also incitement to racial hatred. None at all. What's more the regrettable thing is that since incitement is one of these odious inchoate offences, the Crown didn't even need to prove that the burning of the hotels was directly caused by her words, something that I would personally require. But, alas, the laws are what they are. Under the law of England, "incitement to racial hatred" was established as an offence by the provisions of ss. 17–29 of the Public Order Act 1986, punishable by two years' imprisonment (now seven years). It was first established as a criminal offence in the Race Relations Act 1976. This offence refers to: deliberately provoking hatred of a racial group distributing racist material to the public making inflammatory public speeches creating racist websites on the Internet inciting inflammatory rumours about an individual or an ethnic group, for the purpose of spreading racial discontent. In England and Wales, laws against incitement to hatred against people on religious grounds were later established under the Racial and Religious Hatred Act 2006. As you can see, therefore the words "I bet my house it was one of these boat invaders" when uttered in relation to a sword attack rather lend themselves to being interpreted as "deliberately provoking hatred of a racial group" and also "making inflammatory public speeches" and also "Inciting inflammatory rumours about an individual or an ethnic group for the purpose of spreading racial discontent". Now, was Lucy Connolly treated excessively harshly, given her circumstances, I would say personally yes she was. Was she innocent of what she pled guilty to, absoiutely f"£$"%ng not. -

Can a Bar Girl Ever Really Understand Kind Generosity?
There's that popular saying "You can take a girl out of a bar but you can't take the bar out of the girl". It's obviously true in many cases but the real obstacle to a successfull long-term relationship or marriage is the fact that the worlds that most bar girls' and westerners come from are so far apart (i.e. the farm girl from the village in Nakhon Nowhere and the guy from a western city like London/New York etc. but meet in the environment the foreigner recogizes and feels comfortable in), in reality, they might as well be on different planets... and have different rules/expectations/accepted norms/differing perceptions of human values/survival behaviours to all sorts of stuff. I'm not saying they are insurmountable differences, but many westerners do not give it proper consideration/critical thinking and inevitably take a gung-ho running jump into the abyss with a "devil may care" approach and the inherent issues that go along with it. Choices have consequences, I'm afraid. The woman you decide you be with long term here is one of the most crucial decisions you make in Thailand... and a pragmatic and realistic approach is recommended, even if you are only honest with yourself.
