The new chez SP and OMWC is, as we’ve mentioned, in a college town. Actually, two colleges and a liberal arts university. It’s the last which provides 80% of our entertainment, per Pareto. This weekend’s entertainment was a sudden visit from a University committee, who were taking a group of “ethnically diverse” students from business to business to determine which businesses were “safe” for the students, a racism audit, if you will. They had heard dark rumors that the previous management was racist, apparently stemming from some recurring incidents of dine-and-dash at the restaurant across the street, and wanted to see if we were woke enough to allow students to come. “Our diverse students need to feel that this is a safe space.” We hid WebDom away since she’s so white, she glows, then put our trans, flamboyantly gay, and swarthier employees in the front. The old Jew, of course, was banished from the building. We will find out the Politburo’s judgement sometime this week.

In the meantime, let’s mention some birthdays, like the guy who invented the cow; another prolific author whose books badly needed editing; an old school redistributionist; a guy who might be the most responsible for how shitty TV is; a guy who was last in his class until he met Adolph Zukor; a great fraud and apologist for evil; a guy whose death was commemorated with 4 minutes and 33 seconds of silence; a guy who woke up to Suzanne Pleshette; a slightly more refined version of L. Ron Hubbard; a guy who is most generously thought of as a child abuser; a woman who… I’ll be in my bunk; a guy who impregnated several of my teenage fantasies; a guy whose last words were, reputedly, “Mama mia, let me go!“; a guy who is often interesting and rarely correct; and a chick famous for being nuts.

We now leave our safe space to see what horrible shit has happened.

 

The Original Ronald McDonald has had his last fry.

 

You mean other than figuring out where $3,500,000,000,000 is going to come from?

 

OK, no problem, I will forego sex with Bette Midler. And Lena Dunham as a bonus.

 

Australia getting crazy-stupid? New Zealand says, “Hold my beer!

 

Damn, I always love reading stuff from honest scientists. There are so few left, alas.

 

So stunning. Much brave. Many props for photo-ops.

 

Old Guy Music has continuity from yesterday.
