He can be a bit one-note in his bile but he's never abandoned core punk values in what he does.Regardless, that was a good read. Never sure about the curmudgeon schtick, but I appreciated him shitting on Joe Rogan.

Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Forty years ago, Jodie Foster truly became a star: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/202 ... -president
Funny, I still have memories of coming home from school and watching the coverage over and over. And then, like six weeks later, the pope was almost assassinated.

Re: The Dictator observations thread.
The wife of a friend of mine taught community college, and most of her students were African American. Back 2008, a lot of them told her they weren't voting because they didn't want to feel responsible when he was killed. What does that say about black Americans understand their nation?Kory wrote: ↑30 Mar 2021, 4:47pmPretty mind-boggling when you think of all the effigies and shit.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑30 Mar 2021, 4:40pmI'm still amazed that nothing ever happened to Obama.Kory wrote: ↑30 Mar 2021, 3:45pmI'm surprised and saddened that we don't have more Hinckleys running around.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑30 Mar 2021, 6:55amForty years ago, Jodie Foster truly became a star: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/202 ... -president

I've said this before: assholes like Weathermen weren't this fucking clueless in dealing with the law. These bozos are closer to COSplayers than revolutionaries.
