    I think little Timmy would notice a 60lb CRT behemoth in his little plastic pumpkin…

      Someone dumped a CRT on the bike path I take to work, and I strongly considered strapping it on the back of my bike but a 60 lb TV is pushing the weight limit of my ebike and it seemed miserable to try to ride four miles with that thing.

    We used to get even worse propaganda in the 80s.

    One house would give out creationist pamphlets with comics about evolved monkeys and Christian bullshit.

    The problem was they were in the same area as one of the full sized candy bar houses, and we could never remember which was which, so they got us multiple years.

            It’s when schools teach that slavery was bad and had consequences. This upsets some people.

            It’s a framework of analysis focused on systemic racism, especially in law. Despite it being a high level university course of study there was a panic a few years back that schools were teaching it to young children.

        My wife made me get rid of my triple CRT setup in the mid 2000s. I was only able to sell one of them, for way less than it was worth IMO, the rest I found a place that took them for free eventually. It was shockingly hard to get rid of them.

        I wish I still had one.

          A friend of mine lives in Vermont. He told me about a house that used to give our little black-and-white comics full of Republican-flavour Christian propaganda that were so bad he actually thought they were parody. But, yeah, fuck all that shit. If it doesn’t make your spit hurt, what’s the point?
