Some people call me Cranky

Born in Europe. Aiming to live out my remaining days on that continent. (Note: There are many, many days remaining.)
I will not entertain commentary on this, which is itself entirely on the nose.

Missing my baby girls Emmett and Splurt really badly these days. My partners in love and crime for nearly two decades.

Tons of examples out there right now of deservedly defaced posters for the bullshit that is the pseudo-documentary Melania. Some are clever. Many sadly resort to the usual lazy and self-defeating impulses of vulgar misogyny.

The example pictured here, though, is one I can totally get behind.

CONTENT WARNING

Video of this morning’s murder in Minneapolis from another angle, presumably from the phone of the woman seen in a pink coat in the first video that circulated.

This video is being quickly removed from too many platforms.

I do appreciate that the airport logo is essentially a stylized chalk outline of a corpse.

It’s a long and aggressive tumble downhill from Jesse Owens to Matthew Tkachuk, but here we are.

Championship visits to heads of state are offensive enough – a bizarre sort of tribute to the mob boss – but going out of the way to slobber all over the jackboots punches the bottom out of the barrel.
