    A 19-year-old woman was charged Friday with a hate crime accusing her of stomping on a pro-police sign and throwing it in the trash — all in front of an officer who had just given her friend a speeding ticket. The woman is charged in Garfield County's 6th District Court with criminal mischief. The charge was filed with a hate crime enhancement, making it a class A misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail. The woman was also charged with disorderly conduct, an infraction.

    State funding for Pa. public broadcasting eliminated in new budget | Pennsylvania Capital-Star
    https://www.penncapital-star.com/government-politics/state-funding-for-pa-public-broadcasting-eliminated-in-new-budget/
    Among the few losers of Pennsylvania’s most recent state budget, passed by lawmakers and signed by Gov. Tom Wolf last month, are Pennsylvania’s public broadcasters. The $40 billion- plus budget pumped more taxpayer money into education and violence prevention while saving billions of dollars for the future. But even with a multi-billion dollar surplus, seven public TV and radio stations — such as WHYY in Philadelphia, WQED in Pittsburgh, and WITF in Harrisburg saw their funding eliminated. They had received $2.75 million in state taxpayer support since 2016, but that was reduced to zero this year. It’s hard to say why the cuts were made and who made them. Legislative Republicans say it matched a request from Wolf., An administration spokesperson claimed Republicans did not agree to the funding. The funding line is just a fraction of a fraction of a percent of the state’s spending plan. It’s elimination also comes as WITF’s NPR-affiliated journalists pursue a nationally-noted effort to hold state Republican legislators accountable for undermining the 2020 election.

    R.I.P. filmmaker and actor Robert Downey Sr.
    https://www.avclub.com/r-i-p-filmmaker-and-actor-robert-downey-sr-1847245800
    Downey Sr. began his filmmaking career in the ’60s, focusing on making anti-establishment, absurdist films. The first film he wrote, directed, and produced was the short film Balls Bluff (1961) which was about a Civil War soldier who wakes up in Central Park in the—at the time—present-day 1960s. Downey Sr.’s first successful feature was 1966’s Chafed Elbows, a comedic still image film starring his first wife, Elsie Ann Downey. Downey Sr.’s biggest film, Putney Swope, came a few years later. The satirical film tackles the white power structure, and it is about a Black advertising exec who takes the reins of an advertising agency after the sudden death of the company’s chairman.
