You don’t see posts on how men should react if they hear a kitten’s being tortured in another room. Most men just get the hell over there and yell “Knock it off!” But then men can do that without losing social cachet. No man worries he’ll get a rep as “that buzzkill who monitors how you treat cats.”

It's called film "footage" because camera operators initially held the cameras with their feet. That changed after a film shoot in 1931, when an operator got a foot cramp and was forced to hold the camera in his hands. The "footage" he got that day was extraordinary. That man's name? Hans Cameraman.

When I was a teenager, I went to see her at a venue in Indianapolis. It turned out to be a bar that you had to be 21 to get into. Joan ended up dragging their instruments and amps out into the alley and they played in the alley so that all ages could watch. She's one of a kind.

One day America will debate removing “The Trump White House and Casino™️” sign but decide they can’t “erase history.” This will be a crushing blow to Pam Lewis of Ames, Iowa who wanted the mandatory Trump statue removed from her master bedroom and everyone born after 2027 bothered by the tattoo.

Speaking on behalf of non-Americans, as I’ve been deputized to do (show of hands thing, you have to have been at the meeting to get it) sweeping impeachments of your war criminals and whatnot would be very good for the American brand. In fact it might be the only way to save it.

This is flatly incorrect & ahistorical. The American founders clearly intended the much-vaunted 'checks and balances' of the constitution to not only deal with but prevent this very sort of despotism. That the system has so abjectly failed is not proof it wasn't *explicitly intended* to prevent it.
