NOTE TO RYAN
Ryan Reynolds just informed America that the 1980s were a โbrutal, brutal time.โ A โfucking mess.โ Socio-political tensions everywhere. Fresh off the Cuban Missile Crisis. All we remember is โTop Gunโ and cocaine.
Dude. Turn in your man card.
I was a young, single Air Force pilot in the 80s. Charleston AFB. C-141. First lieutenant turning captain. The Cold War was real and we were winning it. Reagan was in the White House.
The music was legendary. The cars were American and loud. And we partied.
The beaches were empty enough that a guy finishing a long trip could still find a parking spot and a cold beer.
I flew out of Charleston, hit the beaches, cranked Springsteen and Van Halen, and dated girls who didnโt need a 47-page consent form. We had call signs, shrimp & grits, great beer, and the quiet confidence that the country we served actually liked itself.
Reynolds grew up in Vancouver watching bootleg โGhostbustersโ tapes. Thatโs fine.
But lecturing Americans about the decade we actually lived in (while promoting a movie that leans hard into 80s cool) is peak Hollywood. I know. I used to live there.
He thinks we paved over trauma with puppy dogs and ice cream. We just remember being young, free, and flying. And freaking loving it!
The 80s werenโt trauma. They were a blast.
Top Gun was a documentary with better hair.
Your move, Deadpool. ๐ซก๐บ๐ธโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
Canadian asswipe.
Every crash you hear is a body hitting the ground from someone in the World Trade Center whose best option was to jump. Many of the firefighters you see in this clip did not survive the next few hours, including the chaplain.
I donโt care about your suicidal empathy towards Islam. I donโt care about your stupid trade war. This is an 8-hour drive from Toronto. These are our people, our brothers and sisters.
Call 9/11 what it was.
@DivintyMary@ScubaSteve026@RiderChronic Two wrongs never make a right, but sonofabitch, did this bring me joy coming out of Portland! Our whole family left that cesspool, and all of us couldnโt be happier.
