Let's not forget Jerry Falwell and the so-called Religious Right (Which was never religious nor has it ever, ever been right about anything) losing it's lunch over the Teletubbies'?
" Falwell issued an attack in his National Liberty Journal, citing a Washington Post "In/out" column which stated that lesbian comedian Ellen DeGeneres was "out" as the chief national gay representative, while trendy Tinky Winky was "in". He warned parents that Tinky Winky could be a covert homosexual symbol, because "he is purple, the gay pride colour, and his antenna is shaped like a triangle: the gay pride symbol."[81] The BBC made an official response, explaining that "Tinky Winky is simply a sweet, technological baby with a magic bag."[82] Kenn Viselman of Itsy-Bitsy Entertainment commented, "He's not gay. He's not straight. He's just a character in a children's series"

1567: Mary Queen of Scots is forced to abdicate in favor of her one year old son. She always had been quite contrary.
1847: After 17 months of wandering and not stopping to ask directions, Brigham Young and 148 Mormon pioneers arrive at Salt Lake Valley.
1911: Hiram Bingham III rediscovers the Inca city of Machu Picchu. NO Pikachu in Machu Picchu.
1935: The Dust Bowl heat wave reaches its high point, with 109F in Chicago and 104F in Milwaukee. 88 years later, Phoenix says, "Hold my beer."
1967: Charles de Gaulle pisses a bunch of people off (as in hey, when didn't he) when he arrives in Canada and says, "Long live free Quebec." Well, he said it in French.
1969: Apollo 11 returns safely to Earth.
1974: The US Supreme Court slaps Nixon upside the head and tells him to release the White House tapes like the subpoena fucking told him to do.
1998: Schizophrenic and off his meds, Russell Weston Jr. enters the US Capitol in Washington and starts shooting, killing two Capitol Police officers. Weston remains in a psychiatric hospital.
2019: Boris Johnson becomes UK Prime Minister. What could possibly go wrong?
Slept pretty good last night and this is the first morning my mouth hasn't been completely killing me since surgery last Wednesday. I thought I was getting a graft about the size of the tip of my pinkie nail but now that I can see it, it's about the size of my thumb nail with the medium length acrylic that is now two weeks overdue for a fill.
Every since listening to Dr. John, the podcast about the neck surgeon gone wrong, I get particularly nervous about anyone cutting into me. That said, I think Xixi Wu at Gentle Dental knows what she is doing. Looking forward to feeling even better tomorrow.
Too bad he wasn't talking like that in 2018 or 2020, but at least, he is putting his peers to the fire now. But of course, he will gladly serve the "Hunter" nonsense, too.

I loved the movie so much. and I never played with barbies as a kid.
I didn't either, nor did I much envy those of my childhood friends who had barbies or knock-offs thereof. I had this strange notion that Dolls should be huggable and as much like a teal babby as possible. Barbies were kinda the opposite of that, so....
* real, JFTC. .Stuttering fingers. :/
I wish there was as much discussion about Oppenheimer as there is about Barbie.
It was so good. Emily Blunt in particular was excellent. I how she gets best supporting

He scooted back as she rolled over to face him. “You smell better.”
He grinned. “I’m covered in your secretions.”
“That must be it,” she laughed.

More like; 1911 Hiram Bingham III is taken to Machu Picchu, tells all the other white guys that he found it
Yeah, pretty much. Isn't that how it usually works?
1847 After reaching the Valley of the Saints, Brigham Young turned his face to the heavens and said, "See, Moses, it's not that hard!"
(cackles)
Hey! It might have been hotter in Phoenix in '35, but NO ONE WAS STUPID ENOUGH TO LIVE THERE!
In retrospect, the entire dust bowl thing was sort of like our warning shot, as it were.
I think there were people living there, but they kept in the shade.
Vive le Quebec libre! So, what's in a Quebec Libre? Anything like a Cuba Libre?
Maple syrup and vodka.

I have been watching a great channel on YT. Monstrium, by PBS. It is all about monsters from different parts of the world. You would love it.
Bookmarked! TY!
She is SO comprehensive in what she does!

Democrats point this out and the press be all "Y U SO PARTISAN?"
Cristie says it and it is "How brave he is!"
You know he's the one who prepped that orange bag of sexual assaults for the debates with Clinton (that went so great for him).
He also prepped him on Biden and forcing him to stutter by breaking in all the time, isn't he?
Fucking thug
Yeah, he is a First class piece of shit.
Kind of feel bad for him not being able to succeed with the stomach surgery.
No spoilers so far in the Germany-Morocco Women's World Cup match, apart from saying that this is the opening match in their group.
Hmm, Morocco for me.
