Melissa McCarthy said she was “100 percent” influenced by drag in her portrayal of Ursula in Disney’s long-anticipated live-action remake of The Little Mermaid.

So was Disney.

This sounds worse, IMO. That kiosk has a corporate logo and the words, “Partners with” right on top. So, not just interchangeable with another local business without modifying that section. The bit about where the money came from to pay for this is printed on the bottom of the unit. That leads to more questions. WTF does this have to do with restitution, and do the victims of crime (or the criminal injustice system) in that area know this is how that fund is being used? What adds to that fund, if it’s not taxpayer dollars? Is it coming from incarcerated people? :thinking:

ETA: Missouri has a lot of recent legislation on these funds. They can be fines for various infractions paid to the court, and/or court-ordered payments. However, most regulation updates specify it has to reimburse law enforcement or support their efforts. So, this money paid by offenders is restitution to the cops for having to do what they are paid to do by taxpayers.

TIL that if you put peeps in water and microwave them, they melt but do not puff up and explode.
For some reason my kid wanted to put some of her chocolate bunny and peeps into a mug of water and warm it up
And now she has added milk to her unholy concoction

The surface fingers
They seize and eat the deep children
Much pain does it cause
But they do not know
Long they live but they do not hear the thought
The deep children live but a season
But we know the thought, we think the thought
It was here long before the surface fingers
It will be here long after
The time is almost ripe
To make sure it will be so
