I loves this 1933 article.
Article from 1933 about Frida Kayla titled “Wife of the Master Mural Painter Gleefully Dabbles in Works of Art”.

What could possibly go wrong?
Kent State University, May 4, 1970 National Guard troops open fire and kill 4 students and wound 9 others at a protest against the presence of the troops on campus and the Nixon administration’s escalation of the Vietnam War into Cambodia. On the ground, in a roadway, lies the lifeless body of 20-year-old Jeffrey Miller. Kneeling next to him, with her arms raised helplessly and an anguished look on her face is 14-year-old Mary Ann Vecchio. Several other people are milling around in confusion. Most assumed the National Guard was shooting blanks and not live ammunition at first. The National Guard troops involved were found not guilty of charges of deprivation of rights under color of law.

Hard pass.
David Draiman, frontman for the band Disturbed, casually signs Israeli artillery shells as if they are cute souvenirs.

It’s expected. We laugh, tell all our friends to avoid him, and move on.
Rick and Morty meme “How ‘Nice Guys’ think sex works.” An angry “Nice Guy” holds up a card that says “Times I Respected Women” with 9 out of 10 squares stamped. He is demanding sex in return for filling up the card.

I have some ideas…
Sean Connery in a red mankini and thigh high boots. He is holding a gun and is wearing an impressive braid. Zardoz 1974.

A woman stands with a protest sign that says “No fascism”. A man, dressed head-to-toe in maga clothing, points at her and says “ Haha! You have Trump Derangement Syndrome!”

Fuck Jeff Bezos and WaPo.
WaPo post on Bluesky, June 14, 2025: “Planes roared over D.C. on Saturday, tanks rolled along the National Mall, brass bands resounded and thousands of soldiers marched past cheering crowds, as the Army put on the largest show of military might in the capital in more than three decades.” This post is a lie. There were no cheering crowds and the entire parade was a laughable failure.

Yes, who could have known?
“Mass deportation now” signs at the Republican National Convention, in case anyone forgot what they voted for.

I don’t ever wish death for anyone but this family is a bunch of phonies who are playing a role for money and fame.
Members of the Duck Dynasty family before they began wearing costumes and preaching hate 24/7 for money and fame.

Barron Trump is sitting on a stuffed lion, a stuffed tiger and in a child-sized red Mercedes in a gilded Manhattan penthouse. He is with both parents in the first photo and his mother in the second two. The caption is a quote from his father, Donald Trump, with regard to his tariffs, “Maybe the children will have two dolls instead of thirty.”

MAGA fascist, dressed head to toe in MAGA merch, and whose entire personality revolves around being a Trump sycophant, points at a protestor and laughs “Ha ha! You have Trump Derangement Syndrome!”

Never forget that Joe and Mika yukked it up with DJT regularly on their show during the 2016 campaign, normalizing his behavior and giving him millions in free publicity, all for ratings and money. They bear a lot of the responsibility for the fascist regime that’s about to take over the country.
Mika Brzezinski fawns over DJT during one of his many appearances on Morning Joe.
