Really annoying for those of us who have paid since day one. Disgusting to think I’m sharing the service with unwashed ruffians who have never even attended a symposium on Eric Rohmer’s Six Moral Tales or subscribed to Cahiers du Cinema.

this is the kind of prejudice and "Julian's America First" attitude we're all fighting right now.

This is  works for me and is in the vein of DC calling the part of 16th street "Black Lives Matter Plaza"

Activists in Glasgow have plastered alternative names for the some of the city’s most famous streets which are currently named after plantation owners
