thinking about how chappelle’s show served as a cultural lingua franca for teenagers from roughly 2001 to 2004
i still say shit like “he’s a habitual line stepper” and “game, blouses”
i have also been known to say “calvin’s gotta job!” whenever a friend gets a new gig
quick list of underrated chappelle’s show performances:

christian finnegan in the mad real world
guillermo diaz in pop copy
mos def in the racial draft and black bush
donnell rawlings in everything

enterprising companies should take note. all you have to do to generate a wave of sales is to announce a decision to take some nostalgia item out of circulation, hire some people to drum up “cancel culture” outrage, and watch the dollars pour in
and in fairness to the seuss estate, they didn’t have to hire anyone! you can probably skip that step!
right! there’s money to make here if you lack scruples!

“yes the mob wanted to hang me as a traitor to their god-king, but they also had some good ideas. in this essay i will...”
it is noteworthy that Pence believes it is unconstitutional for Congress to regulate federal elections, which is weird because the Constitution pretty explicitly says that Congress can regulate federal elections

Romney: “the Biden stimulus calls for checks of $400 a week in addition to state checks through September. At that level, the majority of the unemployed would make more by not working. Employers already complain that they can’t find employees.” wsj.com/articles/biden…
I guess employers will just have to put up more money now won’t they?
seems like employers need to learn the value of work
