Money is still tight for many in Brantley County in southeast Georgia, but its people no longer look to Democrats to help. CNNConnecting with TrumpBrantley County is rural, about an hour from the Atlantic coast, with the Okefenokee Swamp to the west. Ronald Ham, chairman of the Brantley County Republican Party, said local voters connect with Trump. People have to drive outside the county for work, which means gas prices matter a lot. “They can vote any way they want to vote,” Wilson said of his companions.

I found out during a live comedy show that the former president had been shot at. The second comic confirmed what the first one said, and joked that if this had happened in another era, they probably would have canceled the show. But at this point we’re all so primed for political chaos and inured to news of fresh violence that the audience — including me — barely reacted. From the right, that it was the result of a deep-state plot. As Becca Rothfeld put it in a review of “Black Pill” for The Washington Post, “The flotsam of the internet is childish, ridiculous and, consequently, easy to underestimate.

Central Florida CNN —Now that books are being banned and disappearing from school libraries, students and parents are showing up to school board meetings in Florida to argue for access to books that take on difficult subjects. Some school board lawyers are confused by the rules, and and those arguing for access have few ways to fight back. According to a PEN America study, more than 40% of book bans nationwide last school year happened in school districts in Florida. But for the spectacle to matter, a school board member had to declare the words were inappropriate for the crowd who came to hear them. … They should stay in the libraries.”Jacob Smith, who said he graduated from a county school in 2017, also addressed the board.

Simone Biles, photographed practicing this week, is set to compete for the first time since the Tokyo Olympics in July 2021. Stacy Revere/Getty ImagesAt 26, you might hear commentators call Biles “old” for her sport. “To do gymnastics, you have to have good strength-to-weight ratio,” said Jessica O’Beirne, host of the long-running GymCastic podcast. You can’t do the gymnastics required if you don’t have power.”In the bad old days, the emphasis was on weight. “One of the things that has totally changed is the fact that people understand now how important nutrition is.

But because Moms for Liberty is working on such a local level, opponents have found plenty of opportunities to take action. “I just got back from forcibly re-closeting myself for 90 minutes to infiltrate a Moms for Liberty meeting. I want to go be a part of this.’”Darcy Schoening says her Colorado Springs chapter of Moms 4 Liberty has about 250 people in it. CNNThere were no confrontations at the Moms for Liberty meeting held in a Mexican restaurant in Colorado Springs. Schoening of Moms for Liberty explained why she viewed asking a child what pronouns they preferred was “indoctrinating” them into questioning their gender.

☆ Bored Ape NFT creators win case against copycat artist
▼ + stars: | 2023-04-25 | by ( Elle Reeve | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +4 min

CNN —Crypto company Yuga Labs has won its claims of trademark infringement against artist Ryder Ripps who copied their NFTs in what he called a protest of their racially offensive imagery. Ripps told CNN he would appeal. But critics commented on social media that some of the Bored Apes contained what looked like references to posts on the website 4chan, which has become a hub of extremism, and pointed out that apes are an old trope in racist imagery. “Once the court adopted the plaintiff’s framing of the case, it was clear what was going to happen: the plaintiff wins everything basically,” he said. “There was an underlying really important point that the defendants are trying to make about the possibility that there was some kind of Nazi glorification in the overall collection NFT collection for the Bored Ape Yacht Club,” Goldman said.

☆ Snoop Dogg, his ape and a question of celebrity hype
▼ + stars: | 2023-04-07 | by ( Elle Reeve | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +11 min

The Bored Apes became some of the most famous NFTs after a series of celebrities said they got one. The Bored Ape crazeSnoop Dogg performs with his Bored Ape character, Dr. Bombay, in February 2023. He sold his versions as RR/BAYC with an accompanying website that detailed claims the Bored Apes contained references to racist memes on 4chan, a troll website. In March 2022, Snoop invested in Yuga Labs, and the month after, he invested in MoonPay. In the VMAs video, Eminem turns into a white ape wearing “hip hop clothes,” while Snoop becomes a cheetah-fur ape wearing a “pimp coat,” according to Yuga Labs’ description.

Bored Ape Yacht Club was not the biggest crypto phenomenon, but it was one of the top beneficiaries of celebrity hype. The Bored Apes — a computer-generated collection of 10,000 cartoons — were being presented as a status symbol, membership in an exclusive club. Yuga sued Ripps for trademark infringement, and argues that his maligning of the Yuga apes is nothing more than a profiteering tactic. Hickman, who is Black, thought the Bored Apes looked like stereotypical portrayals of Black people as stupid or lazy. He said he thought this would be obvious to most people the second they saw an image of a Bored Ape.
