As we enter the season of kids being home from school with more than a two-week suply of germs the whole family can experience, I would like to remember the wisdom of Popeye's Poopdeck Pappy
Ray Winston as Popeye's Poopdeck Pappy, pride of the Pacifiary, father to the shark, brodder to the pirahnica, cousin to the killer whale, and uncle to the octopussy, delivers his wisdom on children: "Bless their little hears, if they was made out of gold, I'd like to sell 'em on the open market. I could make me a fortune. Kids! Eh, they don't know what they're doing. Kids, dadblast 'em! They're gonna lead you to ruin. That's what they're gonna do, lead you to ruin. They cry at you when they're young, they yell at you when they're older, they borrows from you when they's middle-aged and they leave you alone to die. Without even paying you back! Children, phooey. You give them everything they want, and what do you get back in return? You get nothing! Why they're just smaller versions of us you know, but I'm not so crazy about me in the first place, so why would I want one of them? I'm asking ya. Children. Ah, children. Little children. You'll pour your heart to them, you give them everything they want. Give them candy and a lot of toys, and what do you get in return? You get a lot of noise: 'Nyah, nyah, nyah, nyah, nyah, nyah, my poppa's a mean old man!' I'm through with children, I'm through with kids. They ain't nothing I'm never gonna do about it."

Synchronicity put these posts together, but I have to say there's a strong vibe between them
The owner of a brand new, fully bricked EV says, "My cybertruck does look awesome on that tow truck!" A police chiefconvicted for abusing his position to acquire weapons and sell them for personal profit says, "If I'm guilty of this, every cop in the nation's going to jail." The privilege of these losers is highlighted by the synchronicity of my feed

I complain a lot about traffic near me, but I think this picture explains why
Southbound traffic on US-69 in Overland Park, KS came to a standstill Saturday morning after two vehicles in the front of the RIDICULOUS line of traffic pictured became stuck on the icy bridge

Here's why Jews have to resist all kinds of racism: because no matter how absurd the connection, it always ends up pointed back at us

And here is why you have to resist racism, because eventually they will turn their hate on you

Dear Ben,

Sorry, but we couldn't keep it.
