Interesting, you say you’re in Michigan, yet you seem to be perfectly describing the people in my neighborhood in Maine.

Well, guillotines were *literally* invented so the King of France could appear to be Enlightened and humane while still chopping off and displaying the heads of people he deemed worthy of execution. It’s just ironic that it’s more fun to see them used on the rich and corrupt.

You buried the real takeaway. See, the “Trump White House” has been trying to tell us about Juneteenth for years now, but it was only thanks to the direct action of Emperor Trump that we finally got the message. Because He and He Alone is responsible for everything good.*

They have Duck Dynasty and shows where people open storage containers—shouldn’t that be enough for them?

Supposedly, the show is for “that part of America they don’t make shows for,” whatever that means. 

I once briefly dated a JW girl who was looking for a way out but wasn’t sure how to do it. Her interest in me went from 0-60 in less than a week (and I’m not that interesting). I mean, during the work day she would email me every 15 minutes to report her status (“I’m getting up for a minute to get some water” “I have…

Joan Jett, Jane Wiedlin, Shirley Manson, Kim Deal.

I don’t know if I’ve ever heard one of his songs, because just hearing his milquetoast name is enough to put me to sleep. Blake Shelton. 🥱 Here we go. Nap time.

We should’ve seen the writing on the wall when she paired with Rossdale. Bush was the quintessential Grunge knock-off band that smoothed the edges of the style, discarded the substance, and put a blank pretty boy at the front to maximize market potential.

“Ex-girlfriend” and “New” are still bangers.

The guy could turn water into wine. I think it’s more shocking that he was able to keep the number of apostles at 12.

Judas was a power bottom.

Unless this book reveals that he’s secretly an agent for the Black Panther Party with a long-game plan of infiltrating and ascending to leadership of the KKK just so he can dismantle it from the inside, will there really be anything in this book shocking enough to turn his base against him? I mean, we’re not going to…

Science!

Jesus hung around with 12 dudes. Jut sayin’, statistically speaking . . .

It’s like that old saying, “Nobody on their deathbed ever said ‘I wish I’d spent more time hating gays’.”

Stonewall by Martin Duberman. Nonfiction. It basically follows the lives of six people from diverse backgrounds from childhood, through the Sixties, their involvement in the Stonewall Riot, and the after effects.

I used to freeze my Bespin Han Solo figure in ice. After a few times, something happened to the plastic and his arms became very loose at the shoulder joint. He was never able to hold up a blaster again.

Racism will never be eradicated. It might change labels at some point, but it will always be part of our tribalist DNA to create division. It’s like any illness that can’t be cured. The struggle is in the never-ending management of our collective instincts so we can function as a society and be kinder to each other.…

Symbols give people something to cling to that doesn’t require much thought. It’s a lazy option for performative belief. Which is why symbols are so easy to co-opt (ie, the US flag becoming a symbol of “the troops” and “freedom” rather than representing a complex governmental philosophy and the diverse collection of…
