I wander about New England's mountains. Sometimes I write about it. Punk rock and endurance sports might have saved my life
trading rage for money is the entire rightwing media industry business model Derek.

From Rush Limbaugh to Bill O'Reilly to Tucker that's all they have ever done, often in the most myopic and cynical ways.

I think you're over estimating how much history is being taught to most students today.

But we could show them the most relevant movie

much less how Thanksgiving originally commemorates how Massasoit and the Wampanoag saved Plymouth Colony from starvation

(and/or going the way of the original Jamestown settlement)

nor would any competent PR aide in the era of climate change continually say that America is now "the HOTTEST NATION IN THE WORLD"

yet here we are... subject to a demented fabulist with an impulsive social media habit.

and apparently it was not St. Peter's,

BUT STILL THE CHICAGO POPE SAMPLED FOR EDM!?!?!

like can you imagine Benedict doing anything remotely like this? No, no you can not.

especially everyone who works in finance,

at least at any managerial level.

save yourself the trouble,

I recall the movie ended up being tedious & shallow.

It's only point is that everyone has kinks & fantasies, but the rich get to indulge them in spectacular ways that middle class strivers can only dream about.

there once was a tech bro insanity,

that consumed all our capital capacity,

but their models were undone,

by lyrics and puns.,

and so poets saved all of humanity.

don't consume too much (Tim) Curry before bed?

how very British 🤔😆😜

I realize that to most this is a trivial thing, whether billionaires actually dress well or appropriately to a White House black tie event,

but to me it indicates both how arrogant and how over valued these men are.

proof that extraordinary wealth is no proof of class, taste, respect for others, or even intelligence.

In fact it might be a counter indicator of 3/4 of those traits.
