your radio is bad because it's located in a major metropolitan area and gives a voice to a vast array of mentally ill minorities --guy who probably lives in Oregon and has between two and four signed The National posters in his bedroom

oh yeah she prefaced it by saying "of course anybody can use the bathroom in my house, gay, black, whatever" because it's somehow different for public restrooms

the response was something about putting tarps over urinals in gender neutral bathrooms

my hs has a radio station

about 5 years before i attended they jettisoned most of the "student run" part of it in favor of hiring some on-air pros and switchin from rock to smooth jazz

but you could still take radio classes and do some work in there and then letter in radio


one of my friends did that and then went on to work at our college station and got his own show sunday afternoons which was great since he has a p serious stutter

The trouble is that stupid hicks don't know what's good for them. They're getting conned by right-wingers and tent revivalists until they believe all the lies that've made them so wrong. They don't know any better. That's why they're voting against their own self-interest.

like 5 years ago there was a thread where the OP worked for the manufacturer of those standardized employment tests you gotta take to work at the grocery store or w/e that ask questions like "if you were a fruit, what fruit would you be?". he had all the answer keys and some of the expected responses were just :psyduck: and i wish i could remember them all.

like iirc the "ideal" answer to the fruit one was grapes, because it means something about teamwork.

does PA do executions? i figure i'd probably be canned from any homicide case because i will never convict someone in a crime where they might be sentenced to death.

But 60 years ago, American liberalism relied too much on the support of working people to let these ideas take too much hold. Even its elitists, its Schlesingers and Bells, were tempered by the power of the labor movement, by the role Marxism still played in even liberal politics — forces too powerful to allow non-elite concerns to entirely escape the liberal mental horizon.



gosh what on earth could have happened that caused liberals to lose the support of these people holding non-elite concerns starting circa 1955
