Buddy Holly would have been 89 this year. His wife, who is a few years older than him, is still alive

There isn’t exactly a good scenario where a cabinet Secretary yelling at a guy in a chicken suit comes out ahead.

Cab Calloway lived until 1994. He sang β€˜hi-de-hi-de-ho’ in 1931 and lived to hear Wu-Tang yell β€˜bring da motherfckin’ ruckus’ 60+ years later.

One that bothers me instinctively is that it would be entirely historically accurate if the characters in Dracula took a break to play Nintendo and drink Coca Cola. But they probably wouldn't do that

Harriet Tubman was alive at the same time as Thomas Jefferson and Ronald Reagan. (That's my all-time favorite.)

Haydn outlived him by 18 years and kept writing. Brahms could have driven a car.

Igor Stravinsky probably heard Sgt. Pepper.

Women tend to live longer and senator is an easier job, but people are totally free to vote for another candidate! What we have or have not learned is to be determined!

No reason to think Bad Bunny is a bad role model in any way shape or form right? This is bluesky, someone would have mentioned it.

Ultimately this the biggest thing giving the lie to the Supreme Ciut’s originality methodology

If your preferred interpretive method relies on identifying the original meaning of the textβ€”and your application of that method produces Stuartismβ€”it must be wrong! Almost definitionally

For context, Old Man Benner got detention for making fun of Lee Greenwood in elementary school. I exaggerated how he did "Detroit down to Houston" and the teacher thought I was making fun of America. In a sense I was.

Such baby stuff to want every entertainment option to center you all the time. For me I don't even know what that would be. Halftime show by Jeff Tweedy?

We have that in Maryland and I've seen it used to convey disagreement with a bill and suggest revisions without flat rejection.
