The problem is we're spending too much time living in the past...

 

Juss' so ya know, today is Ian's birthday - he's 77. I feel very old realizing 
I saw them at the Wildwood (NJ) Convention Center (with YES as their opening act) 54 years ago this week. If I remember correctly, it was 'sit wherever the fuck you can seating' and all tickets were $ 4.00.

Delta’s Chief Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Social Impact Officer Keyra Lynn Johnson has said publicly Delta is striving to “boldly pursue equity” which has impacted every level of the company, from its hiring practices to the language it uses in gate announcements. 
“So we’re beginning to take a hard look at things like our gatehouse announcements. You know, we welcome ‘ladies and gentlemen.’ And we’ve asked ourselves, ‘Is that as gender inclusive as we want to be?’” Johnson said during a February 2021 panel with other DEI insiders. “You know, we’re looking at some legacy language that exists in some of our employee manuals. And getting to the root of the way some things are described and saying, ‘Does that actually send a message of inclusivity?’”
Okay - I get it. According to this cow (trust me, this - dare I say - lady is a big gal) there are more than two genders. Honest to god, who the fuck hires people like this - and why? Does anyone anywhere actually give a fuck about offending a bunch of fuckin' 'non-binary' types, like we even know what that means?

The Harris-Walz campaign has sold nearly $1 million worth of now sold-out camo hats branded orange with “Harris Walz” in the day since they were released. The ugly fuckers were snatched up at $ 40.00 a pop.

Honest to god - who the fuck thought break-dancing was 
a good idea for the Olympics? Maybe next time they're have a leap frog competition, too. I can't even imagine who - if actually anybody - would buy a ticket to watch this friggin' nonsense.
... 

Anybody have any idea what this is trying to say?

  1. Bet those hat sales are a bulk purchase that will never be shipped out to anyone. It would an interesting research project for an aspiring investigative reporter.....it's a hidden campaign contribution by "someone"

  2. Back when they first got restarted, the Olympics had events like Tug-o-War .

    I'm waiting for Tiddlywinks and Wordle to become Olympic sports .

  3. Donkey cartoon- think it suggests the Democrats WERE under a depressed dark cloud with The Husk/Harris but now are energize and happy having been rescued by Harris/Walz. Yeah, delusional but with the number of stupid camo hats bought apparently there’s enough ignorami in the country who believe the rebranding lie of a bunch of worthless nothingburgers.

  5. I mostly stopped watching the Olympics a long time ago. I'm kind of hard-nosed about it - if it's not an individual sport, and you can't measure it with a scale, a stopwatch, or a tape measure, I don't think it should be in the Olympics. That is, after all, the motto: Citius, Altius, Fortius (faster, higher, stronger).

    It was a Winter Olympics sometime in the 1970s that got me started thinking this way, when one of the couples in the "ice dancing" event was marked down by the Russian judge because of their choice of music.

  7. I was told breakdancing originated from street thugs and thugettes being shot repeatedly and jittering about but my brother-in-law, being a copper, may have been lying
