Ah it was the Ken Jennings connection I missed.

I would like to think that in Richards' case the questionable history was almost an excuse, considering it was almost immediately apparent that he was an enormous asshole anyway.

How fleeting are all human passions compared with the massive continuity of ducks.

No, we're not. We're really, really not. Like, schedule a mental health intervention before we start eating horse medicine or something.

Well, the Blue Line flag is a fascist banner depicting allegiance to the police state, the Cross is for white christian nationalism, the long-hair chihuahua is because their cute, and the hand is a reference to Goatse

I want to believe that the weird gnarly hand is the artist's rendition of a photorealistic Knuckles the Echidna.

(The dog probably belong[s/ed] to the owners of the flag, because you don't fly flags like that without a healthy dose of self-importance.)

you foreigners would be amazed how many cute dog lovers who have lots of cute dogs and love them and spoil them very much are just the absolute worst kind of racist homophobe transphobe xenophobe fascists.

or actually, no, that's exactly what I picture British fascists as being so nevermind

Oswald Mosley had an incredibly cute dog, so that checks out.

Alternately: You know who else had a cute dog? HITLER.

Some weekends ago, we were coming home from the beach, near a bike path following the mouth of the San Gabriel river. Passed by some older guys sitting on their bikes, chatting and being uncomfortably friendly with passers-by. Like, you know that thing where someone will see a kid carrying a boogie board and go "wow, check out the big kid here" or whatever, well-meaning but uninvited? Said something vaguely nice about Kiddo 02, whereupon I smiled and nodded and hurried on.

I had to backtrack for something and passed them again, but now they were having such a typical right-wing rant with each other. Abortion is terrible, especially with black people and their lack of proper parental role models, all the classics. Heard it all before, but what got me was the quick turnaround; the time between "hey there cutie pie" and "why do black people smell funny" couldn't have been more than two minutes.

And they're not the only ones in the neighborhood to flip like that. At least two other older men have greeted me suddenly and warmly, then flipped when I didn't howdy back right. It's gotten to the point where I reflexively tense at friendliness... er, more than before, I mean.

I kneel for three things: the flag, the cross, and to pet my dog that's "just not used to black people"

I saw a picture of someone sliding into my DMs and it was a girl wearing a thin blue line shirt, except the thin blue line was replaced with shamrocks.

I thanked them for their service. Shamrock shakes are truly what keeps America together.
