When suppertime came, the old cook came on deck sayin'
"Fellas, it's too rough to feed ya"
At seven p.m., a main hatchway caved in, he said
"Fellas, it's been good to know ya"
I remember hearing this lyric as a kid and realizing they all died. It was a profound experience.. 50 years today...

I just can't understand the joy killers. The folks that lurk on Al Gore's Internet to tell someone their favorite restaurant, band or movie sucks. "Oasis sucks and Taylor Swift ruined football. Only tourists eat deep dish..You're stupid" That's sad that's all you have. "Shut up, libtard."

Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts.
But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy.
In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states.
This is why unions are vital.

I've been thinking about how dumb the Internet has made things. I posted a picture of a pizza on X. It got hundreds of retweets which ultimately had most of the East Coast angry at me. Name calling... Threats of violence. It was a picture of a pizza. A tasty treat. I pulled the post down.
