My grandmother never met a black person until she was in her thirties, but truly sympathized and had compassion in her heart for the plight of “the discolored”. OK, Grandma, first of all…

I was born in ‘77, and when I was younger, that meant I was in the Baby Boom Echo generation. X was born too late to be Boomers, but too early to be Boomers’ kids. Millennials are really the kids of early X. The Boom Echo is now overlooked.

At work, I once got some mail from possibly the most English address ever: The Flat, Chichester Hall, Dick Trod Lane, Skinburness, Wigton.

Don’t know, but pretty sure it peed in the confessional.

Then @thebhp.bsky.social is for you! Plenty of stories of failson illiterate horse-bros to go around!

We do play Spurs twice…

It also coincides very well with MTV’s “Teen Mom” (2009-2012; 2015-2021)

All Our Wrong Todays: A Novel A Novel

“All Our Wrong Todays” by Elan Mastai deals with this pretty ingeniously: bookshop.org/p/books/all-...

It takes 2 minutes to read the word "racism"?

The Brett/bully Venn diagram may have been a circle…

Only tangentially related, but my favorite commercial ever for its sheer randomness would not be possible or as effective without Scarface: youtu.be/0JysDNbD55I

The missing word is “dicks”.

I’m not here to judge what lures fish these days, but I think this Amazon product description might be missing a key word or two.

Approximately half of all eligible voters in America, apparently.

Looks like a shih tzu

“Libertarian” is the polite word for “asshole”.

Someone needs to write a RATM movie for a two-fer.

The 17th directly translates as “Actually, ‘Eskimo’ is a slur. The proper name for our people is ‘Inuit’”.

Cybertrucks are good. They bring joy to the world. Specifically, the joy of everybody laughing at the driver of a Cybertruck.

That’s because the jocks never learned to read or write. Their only outlet is getting interviewed by the NYT at a diner about their politics.

The odd part is that Costner is played by Nic Cage.

Fun?

Ok then. Please spend your time confronting actual racists instead of misunderstanding half-baked skeets.

Actually the opposite—it was an effort to short circuit the insipid All Lives Matter idiocy. Guess my point didn’t come across properly.
