Threat of death works, ACTUAL death does not! Gawd, Hollywood, Dickens figured this out over a hundred years ago! You gonna kill Little Nell, do it in summer when parents are fantasizing about leaving the kids by the side of the road. Winter, Tiny Tim pulls through!

WWI was boring as fuck. Not much entertainment value there. *eyeroll*

Yeah. You know how that one quote about pornography where the judge says he knows it when he sees it? Same thing with these specials. I can’t quite articulate when these specials go into the propaganda/glamorizing territory but I know it when I see it.

My only issue is this leading to people thinking that the KKK are the face of white supremacy, as opposed to the alt-right and other ascendant groups. The idea that just because you aren’t in the KKK, you aren’t a white supremacist must be vigorously opposed.

Canada has CBC radio 2 with a good mix of folk, pop, and other music...only downside (upside if you like new artists) is that a certain percentage needs to be Canadian. It’s a good alternative to US radio on my daily commute and the announcers are as you’d expect: polite with silly puns and don’t take up too much air…

“I recently had the thought that with classic rock stations, it’s pretty much guaranteed that you’ve heard every song on their playlist literally dozens of times before. It should be called comfort rock. Kinda sad, right?”

I’m having difficulty understanding Margaret Cho’s perspective here.

“Its not my job to teach you even if you ask in earnest but fuck you for not knowing?”

I hope everyone who posted histrionic comments about Tilda Swinton’s racism and privilege two fucking hours ago on the previous post goes back and deletes them now.

Your comparison doesn’t work for two reasons:

Someone please hug these kids and tell them there’s a better world out there..

I dunno. Fraudulently putting number plates from a Ford onto a Lambo to dodge authorities when you clearly have the money to do things the proper way screams “I’m a dick” pretty loudly too.

Those wheels were kinda cool though.

I mean could you really resist eating your peanuts during a show like this?

The American worker will become really competitive if every employer in the USA gets rid of benefits of any kind and people will have to fend for themselves for health care insurance and retirement.

I dearly miss “Herbie” who was the beige ‘68 Beetle that my parents had when I was a kid. I took my first turns of the steering wheel sitting on my Pop’s lap in Herbie and I would spend hours in the garage playing and practicing my steering and shifting technique while bathing in the horsehair and burnt oil funk you…

3 spokes make a tripod, which is how kangaroos anchor themselves, kangaroos box, boxing is a sport. It’s simple really.

I’m actively mourning the big Aussies, the Holden Commodore and the Ford Falcon. Not only do their collective demise signal the end of domestic RWD cars in Australia, it signals the end of domestic car industry in the country.

I hate everything.
