over, and over, and over...

Apparently we *will* get fooled again.

[Ben Krug @Ben_Krug]

@JonahDispatch I really wanted to never see it. I read the book long ago; by now I don't wan't another movie, series, etc portraying horrific gangs, mobs, etc. When will it stop? What is the obsession?
(Mobland and Peaky Blinders don't count, because Stallone, and fictional and allegorical.)

@WKCosmo I had no idea - thank you for this context.

@AmyThinx Apparently you can blame it on Warren G. Harding in 1920, so it's been a while...
"Words on the Move" by @JohnHMcWhorter helped me deal with such trauma. (Like, literally! Although I personally still can't help but chafe at the ongoing lie/lay inversion.)

@AdamMossoff Justice for them, but not for the victims. As good as it gets, and well done.

@spoilerbull Are mullets back?

@Wurmserscribit Uhh... Christians and Muslims were "frozen" out of "usury". Jews were allowed, and banned from most other livelihoods. Never heard of Jews being "frozen" out of entertainment either. Maybe I missed something.

@punt_rd More practical might be to use another microphone.

@HistoryBoomer How is it that so many tech bros appear to be so smart and so idiotic at the same time? I guess it proves the idea that specialist knowledge does not imply general wisdom. (Kind of like celebrities opining on politics.)

@the_ason @TerryWatkinsJr1 Agree, and, as a white person, wondering, how come white people can battle white people ("left" vs "right", etc), but black people are expected to be of one hive mind? ... (*cough* racism *cough*)

@covie_93 MAGAs?

[Ben Krug @Ben_Krug]

@EdLatimore Well, I do!

[Ben Krug @Ben_Krug]

@WilliamShatner Ha ha, I saw a happy post like this and thought "it must be Shatner". Scrolled up, and yep, it was! :)

@ElonogyX How much he earns doesn't matter. Helping Trump to get elected matters.

[Ben Krug @Ben_Krug]

@RachelMoiselle Oh, did you not hear that Jews are and always have been the oppressors, no matter what? Apparently they engineered WWI, so all that was just payback. </end sarcasm>

@SophiaOrthoi @HonestReporting @guardian @AynRandOrg Lol good one...
