I think that must have come through Oregon earlier today.About noon, it started raining really hard, the kind that sounds like an approaching train or drumbeats, then lightning and thunder that literally shook the house, then the heaviest, most violent hailstorm I've ever seen in the 20-plus years I've lived here.We got maybe an inch of hail in less than an hour, and some of it is still on the ground, four hours later.
"And it's kind of worse than explicitly hating black people"
I remember watching an episode of "Maury" where an African American guy said to his white girlfriend's white father, "Look, just what is it you've got against me? What did I ever do to you?" The guy looked genuinely surprised -- you could almost see the gears turning in his head as he considered the question for what was obviously the first time in his life -- and said, with apparent sincerity, "Nothing. You actually seem like a pretty good guy. I hope you have a happy life." The black guy pursued it, and the Dad said something like, "But, but, YOU PEOPLE are different. I don't think YOU PEOPLE are BAD people; I just think you're DIFFERENT. That's why God made you a different color."
Setting aside for the moment the possibility that the guy was just lying his ass off -- I don't know how to even process that.
Great example of what I think I'm seeing. If it were that, say, the racist white guy hated black people because of specific (though poorly-thought-out) reasons, it might be possible to overcome that. But how do you overcome it that a person has opted for hate simply because hate makes sense to them? There is no argument, evidence, or experience that can possibly work on them.
They were a pretty good oldies band.During their cover of "Splish Splash", Leonard (the sax player) had a bubble machine come out of the sax during his solo.
This country began with a compromise about who got to be human and who didn't. It bent to the will of terrorists by allowing that compromise and order to continue, instead of stomping out the final embers of a rebellion by landed gentry in their pursuit of continuing to be able to wield their excessive privilege, in a pseudo feudal society. It has sacrificed the humanity of some, for the comfort of others, every single time any attempt to address those discrepancies has come along.
The problems resulting from that single compromise, have snowballed over centuries. The rot it has caused in our ability to reason, and in our collective humanity, is going to consume us.
Ha ha, up yours, bigots! Even CAPITALISM doesn't want you!
Consumers have spoken about preferring progressiveness and GQPers can't gerrymander public opinion so instead they throw tantrums and want to punish "woke" capital. All the empty land might vote red, but it doesn't spend green.
This year it's been a challenge to distinguish April Fooling from regular random MAGAtness.
Give me a one, two, threeWhat are we fightin' for?

If it ain't true, it oughta be.
"We still had our freedom."
Allow me to translate: Red shirt guy could say the N-word in public without incurring even the mildest social disapproval.

If anything at Woodstock was punk or proto-punk -- and I'm by no means certain anything was -- it was the FISH cheer and "Fixin' to Die Rag".

So, I can only conclude that shaking a tin cup at Stephen King did not pay off the the way Lonnie hoped it would.

Sure, he got away with publicly murdering protestors, but in doing so, he incurred some mild social disapproval.
Psalm 109:
"8 May his days be few; may another take his place of leadership.
9 May his children be fatherless and his wife a widow.
10 May his children be wandering beggars; may they be driven[a] from their ruined homes.
11 May a creditor seize all he has; may strangers plunder the fruits of his labor.
12 May no one extend kindness to him or take pity on his fatherless children.
13 May his descendants be cut off, their names blotted out from the next generation.
14 May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the Lord; may the sin of his mother never be blotted out.
15 May their sins always remain before the Lord, that he may blot out their name from the earth."
