I never had actually seen a picture of Pantaleo until today...and wow, what a fucking meathead. I 110% guarantee that 1) he was a bully in junior high and high school, and 2) he has committed at least one act of domestic violence that would result in a civilian being jailed and losing custody of his children.

Nixon won voters under 30, the overwhelming majority of whom were Boomers (birthrates having been very low during the war years), by nearly 10 points in the 1972 election.

I’ve got a buddy who’s a big Steelers fan. His grandfather was a coal miner who told his dad that he’d be goddamned if he ever saw his son go down a mine.

Monterey Park. They've probably been brought here for dim sum but have no idea how to get back to Brentwood or Los Feliz from there.

Not only deadlier, but smarter too.

(I have made U2 and R.E.M. jokes on this post but I swear I am neither Adam Scott nor Scott Aukerman. For one, I am sitting in a part of Southern California that they probably don't even know exists.)

I hope you find it soon, Mr. Hewson, but it's been 32 years. You might just want to give up.

This strikes me more as "Fables of the Reconstruction" material.

You’re trying to compare a condition that prevailed in the 11th century to the reality of America in the 21st. Of course shit changes; that doesn’t change the truth that most members of what we might call “the white race” were dirty, smelly, and notably backwards in the Middle Ages compared to their more melanated…

The Catholic Church took its Platonist hatred of the human body and fear of physical pleasure to some rather ludicrous extremes.

The chant at football games was “HOCH HECH!”

No, you clearly have the expertise, so I defer!

At a party at my Elite Northeastern Dickhead University™ around 2001, I overheard a guy say, “I just gotta wear Abercrombie, so bitches know I dominate.”

“Maghrebis” probably would be a more accurate term. Certainly by the time Islam hopped the Straits of Gibraltar, there’d been significant admixture between the Arab invaders from the west and the pre-Islamic inhabitants of northwestern Africa.

That’d be goombah, or maybe guinea—which is itself an anti-black slur, since Southern Italians and especially Sicilians are to this day referred to by Northern Italians as “African.” Keep in mind, of course, that the period during which the Moors occupied Sicily and Calabria is a period during which much of the…

The G3 and FAL are rather large guns. The AR, not so much.

There are AR-pattern rifles chambered in 7.62/.308, which strikes me as a very effective way of shattering one’s mandible and/or orbital bone.

Eh, I think JIMMER could have conducted a Thelema sex magick ritual at midcourt during a game and he'd still have been fine.
