I like how everyone they interview for this is someone no one really wants to hang out with. They sound nice but come on. If a fat dude who wears an LSU jersey to work every Friday is ever like, “I’m gonna be cooking some shit up in the park next Wednesday after work. Got a keg. Come on by on your way home.” we’d all go get a plate.

Don’t blame America for this one. We usually get the Sky broadcast from the UK. It’s Englishitification if anything.

Seersucker suits and a good handkerchief. And you should say, “Heavens, it’s warm today.” and sup juleps.

Gerrymandering is half the reason people don’t vote. If an election isn’t competitive and there’s significant roadblocks put in your way, you might not vote either. Imagine having two jobs and kids and a long ass line at a voting precinct that isn’t within walking distance.

We should probably never underestimate some people’s addiction to clout.

Fun fact: the folding chair was invented by an African American in the early 1900’s.

“Live Every Chair and Swing” will now be the lyrics.

I always thought the reason school days go from 7-3 or 8-4 (or whatever) is usually more about bus scheduling and logistics. And high schools historically start earliest (despite it being worse for teens) so older siblings will be home and can watch younger siblings after school.

Maybe that’s just what I was told growing up but if every school did 9-5, they would need more bus drivers.

If they weren’t that ridiculous about security, a rowdy teen might score some brew. Or worse, an unauthorized person might trick an innocent business into making them pay payroll taxes. Imagine what a dystopian world it would be if fake IDs existed.
