I just discovered Fables of Faubus, a little ditty Charles Mingus wrote about the white supremacists of the late 50s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QT2-iobVcdw

For similar reasons, Smiths lyrics are a whole lot less funny and clever in 2019

Genius wants to claim the song is satirical, which might be believable if we haven't had 30 years since of Rivers Cuomo behaving like an ass AND writing other songs about being creepy towards women.

I could listen to "No One Else" and say, "This is fine. Just a perfectly normal song about hating your girlfriend and wanting a perfectly compliant passive replacement".

That's where I was at.

And even I could figure out the crappy pagan books I was reading were absolute bullshit.

A lot of the pagan books I read as a teenager were so sexist, racist, and antisemitic, that even my uneducated unwoke ass could see that they were bullshit. And I listened to Weezer.

I'm not a sapiosexual because I don't want to flatter my crushes and exes that much.

"We are working on a platform based on blockchain technology, which will have its own cryptocurrency called the Atari Token."

Just. Make. Normal. Hats.

Speaking of which, whoever owns Atari right now should just make it a fashion brand already. The only thing people want from Atari is the logo.

You don't even need to do something foolish like make a speaker hat.

Does anyone remember the Atari speaker hat?

No, because it was a bad idea.

I have a thrift store hoodie the inside of which is lined with brand names and logos, such as Skype and Bing.

When I was in Seattle the thrift stores had stuff like Microsoft board games and Microsoft dress socks
