“Parents want their kids to learn to think critically, by unquestioningly accepting whatever fairy story best fits the prevailing white supremacist, state capitalist, exceptionalist narrative.”

Don’t worry, though, because the LA Sheriff has decided not to make his brownshirts enforce the mask mandate. Seems he a microbiologist, because he’s decided that “the science doesn’t support it.” It’s great that we have such highly-qualified health professionals in law enforcement.

In unrelated news, here’s helpful aritcle on how to remove embedded ticks:

“You can’t keep my client in jail as a risk to society, because he isn’t a risk to society, because he’s in jail.”

Aunt Ida's corpse is probably still strapped to the roof rack.

What are Chick-Fil-a’s “principles,” exactly. I mean besides promoting heart disease, stroke and the industrial-scale torture and murder of domestic fowl?

To be fair, they are an abomination.

Clive James once referred to a book he reviewed as “A cubic paperback, written by the type of American author who feels the need to take revenge on his country for making him illiterate.”

Trumpucky Fried Chicken?

Trump’s kids got protection, so there at least seems to be a plan that covers rodents and cockroaches.

Maybe he can parlay the act into an animated series full of jailhouse hijinks, with the underlying message that rapists and abusers need love too. Call it “Rohipnol Albert and the Cosby Felons.”

“Captain Rogers” is a bit of a fudge, since Steve was a private when he was given the serum. He was then marketed to the nation as Captain America, so I guess the brass thought it would be less confusing to make him an actual Captain.

If it’s true, it looks lke the LAPD tried to hang a whistleblower out to dry, while protecting those who actually circulated the card.

I did, but got autocorrected. Posted a correction in a follow-up comment.

Nah, nobody there knows who he was. The American Revolution is basically a footnote in a pretty packed historical period for Europe.

Got autocorrected. Should have been Horst Wessel. Although now I think about it...

Authoritarians are children, regardless of their actual age. They need a big, strong “daddy” to tell them what to do, or they’re lost.

I was thinking Horst Weasel, but Birch works, too.
