Reading Kurt Vonnegut was one of the better decisions I made when I was seventeen

Photo of a page in Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut. My thumb is visible on the left. It says:

The founders were aristocrats, and they wished to show off their useless education, which consisted of the study of hocus-pocus from ancient times. They were bum poets as well.

But some of the nonsense was evil, since it concealed great crimes. For example, teachers of children in the
United States of America wrote this date on blackboards again and again, and asked the children to memorize it
with pride and joy:

1492

The teachers told the children that this was when their continent was discovered by human beings. Actually, millions of human beings were already living full and imaginative lives on the continent in 1492. That was simply the
year in which sea pirates began to cheat and rob and kill them.

Tim Curry was a 20-something stage actor living in London in the seedy, sex-drenched 1970s when he auditioned for a new B-movie musical called “The Rocky Horror Show.” In a new interview, Curry discusses the cult classic, David Bowie, Studio 54, and more. http://nyer.cm/Z9RkgrI

I found a 19th century Cat Villain!

A huge chonk of a fluffy cat sitting on a table near an open fire. The cat is cream and grey and appears to be shaped like a barrel in a fur coat. They are scowling fiercely with their moustache and bewhiskered ears apparently flowing back into the cold wind. There's a definite vibe that this villainous cat twirls their moustache as they evict orphans into the aforementioned blizzard and think Scrooge was an easy-going lightweight. They are magnificent.

Thanksgiving in Canada has nothing to do with Columbus!

We are a colonial country with a million things to atone for but Thanksgiving is not one of them.

Our Thanksgiving is timed with the harvest and it's literally just "Be grateful for harvest"

US Imperialism has brain rotted too many of you.

I always wondered how Korean audiences were even able to follow the series with all those cuts. A LOT of critical scenes take place at the Hikawa Shrine!

Every time someone makes me read something Peter Thiel said it’s like “Scrooge McDuck is Jesus Christ and Huey, Dewey, and Louie are Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel and Daisy is Mary Magdalene and that’s why women voting has lowered American sperm count.”

The earliest vanguard of Weird Duck Time has arrived! Delightful diving ducks that we only see from October-March or April: ruddies and ring-necks. #birds 🪶

A male ruddy duck in non-breeding plumage, floating in a lake and facing directly towards the viewer. He's a small diving duck with a dark brown cap and back, lighter brown chest, white cheeks, and an enormous scoop of a dark brown bill.

A pair of ring-necked ducks swimming away from the viewer at a three-quarter angle, several feet apart, in pale calm water. Small diving ducks, he's black-and-grey while she is brown all over, darker on the back and top of her head, with a pale stripe on her face at the base of her bill.
