IIRC Fred Rogers also died right around that time, though not the same day.

My brother is upset that his kids have taken to all things Disney, which we never liked, but they have no interest in WB cartoons, which we loved and still do. It's mind boggling.

Naturally. Labyrinth is way better. I tried to watch DC recently and couldn't get through half of it.

Why does it need a head? Not gonna eat the head. It's like they want it to suffer.

He also appears to be losing some support over his plan to eliminate public service student loan forgiveness, a program created by liberal stalwart George W. Bush. Notably, Trump campaigned on student loan forgiveness.

That sort of cancels out though, doesn't it?

I am also from Warren. Other than that, not much in common.

I don't think so either, it's just that LOTR is fundamentally backwards-looking and the ancient stories on which he based it weren't very progressive. You take the good with the bad.

The author himself insisted otherwise. But, as I understand it, he did later regret setting up the orcs as he did. And that kind of setup (these are foul beings per god's wishes) has been used IRL to justify racism.

It isn't just that, it's those swarthy Southrons who are predisposed to align with orcs, who themselves are just plain born evil. And of course Aragorn belongs to some sort of master race, destined for generalized lordship.

He was just a decade or so too early. Bikes were in a brief nadir of popularity circa 1990. Nowadays people watch TV shows about custom motorcycle shops. Blows my mind but it's true.

If so it's a relatively recent phenomenon. Prior to Reagan, shows about poor people and their problems did very well. There was a lot of consternation about Friends because it was egregious and people at the time were used to a bit more realism.

Agreed, nice passage there.

You can protest the assessment of your property's value, but protesting the tax rate itself won't do you much good.

Does this guy sell houses or something? He clearly doesn't sell avocados.

Sold.

Baby shit green!

This is getting out of hand. They're raping my 30s!
