I mean, they deter people from having children go headfirst through the windshield.

To my understanding, she's pretty reviled by boomers for being anti-war.

Depends on the boomer. Some people thought what she did was important and brave, but for the people who hate her it wasn't just that she was anti-war. A ton of celebrities were anti-war. It was that she flew out to Vietnam, embedded with the North Vietnamese army, and filmed what a lot of people considered anti-American propaganda.

I used to work in a machine shop where a bunch of the old-timers were Vietnam vets. I made the mistake of talking about Barbarella one day, and ended up with an earful about "Hanoi Jane," and her "crimes" against America. They absolutely despised her. For a long time after that they'd all take turns asking me how my communist girlfriend was doing.

I wonder if they'll dust off the ol' Twinkie defense.

Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy. Both the books and the radio shows.

I caught the cat eating thing, and the post-birth abortion thing. I must have been too distracted by the Venezuelan gangs that are supposed to have taken over my city to catch the other stuff.

Did I miss the news cycle where Democrats started dismembering children?

You should watch the actual Only Connect show (a lot of them are up on YouTube). It's absolutely bonkers what some of the players are able to figure out. You'll be like, who are these people, and what laboratory were they grown in? How the fuck did they get that? But after you watch enough episodes you actually start to get the hang of it and start solving them yourself. A lot of the time just knowing that there's definitely a connection is more of a clue than you might think at first.

Historically, the people who say, "Some folks need killing," usually turn out to be the folks who actually need killing.

If we're going to be running minor celebrities for the Irish presidency, the only real choice is Blindboy Boatclub.
