Bill Hicks ☑️

"Is it impossible to imagine Americans sneaking into Mexico en masse, seeking regular employment and a better way of life?" ~Bill HIcks (Love ALL the People)

Tepid take that no one will like about the trans ban in the military:

“Anyone dumb enough to want to be in the military should be allowed in” -Bill Hicks

I have a more nuanced opinion about all of it from when I was 15, but at the end of the day..it’s not a good place to be for anyone

Thanks? FYI, Bill's birthday is Dec. 16. Today's his deathday. ⚰️

"For the record, let's not mince words. Our very lives depend upon truth." ~Bill Hicks [screencap image from "Sane Man" video]

REPORTER: Would a Russian oligarch be eligible for a gold card? TRUMP: Yeah, possibly. Hey. I know some Russian oligarchs that are very nice people.

"I thought I lived in the US of A, the United States of America, and actually we live in the US of A, the United States of Advertising. Freedom of expression is guaranteed, if you've got the money."

Bill Hicks died at the age of just 32 on February 26th 1994.

You have to wonder what he would have made of the insane politics of today.

Yup.

Don't recall an "angry dollar" bit. Here's this: "Everyone here who’s in marketing is now thinkin’ the same thing: ‘Oh, cool. Bill’s going for that anti-marketing dollar'...Quit it, quit it! Don’t turn everything into a dollar sign, please! ‘Oooh. The plea-for-sanity dollar – huge! Huge market!...'"

💯

...I’ll know it’s real. But then I thought, maybe God would do something more subtle, like make me a millionaire. But then I thought, that’s too subtle. If God really wanted to show me, he’d do something really weird, like make me a millionaire *and* have a purple elephant sitting on my couch."

"I was thinking, if life is a dream, how would I know? Well, I thought, if God wanted to show me that this is real, he’d do something so bizarre and out of character that I’d know he was trying to communicate. So, I thought, if I wake up tomorrow and there’s a purple elephant sitting on my couch...

That's an oldie but goodie, roughly 40 years old now. When Bill was doing a standup routine that wasn't getting the response he was used to, he'd tell the audience "You're looking at me like a dog that's just been shown a card trick."
