The National Pulse: Statue of Obese ‘Woman of Color’ to Be Installed in London’s Trafalgar Square.

A statue of an obese “metropolitan woman of color” will be installed in London’s iconic Trafalgar Square, alongside a monument to Admiral Lord Nelson, the Hero of Trafalgar, and statues of King George IV and war heroes General Sir Charles James Napier and Major-General Sir Henry Havelock.

It will feature a black female with prominent buttocks wearing platform shoes and a revealing blue dress.

It will not be permanent, with the city authorities rotating a series of often woke installations on the fourth plinth. ‘Towards an Uncertain Future,’ a shapeless green mass by Romanian sculptor Andra Ursuța, is set to replace it in 2028.

Does it have the Stacey Abrams, Lizzo and Oprah Seal of Approval?

Will be replaced by "a shapeless green mass." Like...moss?

Triggered Democratic Socialists of America meeting. No Triggering the Easily Triggered. Abandon all Ye Pronouns and please, No Jazz Hands.

Jazz Hands is Racist. Please, No Jazz Hands.

Reason: At the Democratic Socialists of America Convention, Clapping, Chatter, and Gendered Language Are Considered Triggering. (They also caution against wearing "strong" scents. So, no Paco self-dousing? That's a shame. And, they have a Quiet Room...BUT...do they provide Bitty blankies?)

Democratic socialists earned some ridicule this weekend after video clips from their annual convention—which showed attendees objecting to clapping, disruptive chatter, and the use of gendered language on grounds that all of these things were triggering—appeared online.

One person took to the podium to thank his fellow comrades for waving their hands in the air instead of clapping, since sudden, loud noises can be harmful for the easily perturbed members of the audience.

"We have a lot of disabled comrades," he said. He reminded everyone to "avoid hissing, avoid waving banners, there's all sorts of things."

The Hi-larity ensuing Easily Triggered DEM Socialists of America video and Twitter thread is at Ian Miles Cheong. I've edited the three video clips into one, below:

I'm thinking a Netflix series.
