Got passed this 1961 book by a friend. Fascinating - all witty young people mocking “The Fifties” from a perspective that’s not at all “The Sixties” (or post-)

I think they’ll hold their voters together for this election but without a campaign to orient around I think the technocrats might have completely lost traction on the Bernie types
and next election could you picture those lead-tongued fucks trying to run an explicit coalition of gay bankers and new-generation black activists against a GOP that’s reverse-engineered Trump?
Whole election’s a performance art competition on the theme of “to whom does tomorrow belong?”

(Clerks One and Two are discussing the merits of classic Red Hot Chili Peppers) Me: You hear MTV's making a '90s throwback channel? They're going to call it MTV Classic. Clerk One: Well, I remember when they started VH1 Classic to show music videos again, but soon they filled *it* up with shows too. Me: Yeah, I remember when they started MTV2 to show music videos, but then they filled it up with shows *too*. Clerk Two: I remember when they started *MTV* to show music videos, but then they filled it up with shows.

“The US military announced preparations on Friday for the return of a large area of occupied land on the Japanese island of Okinawa, in the face of mounting protests against the US forces stationed on the island. “
when I was in Maui for my mom’s yay-no-cancer vacation a few years ago, I spent a night in one of the hotel hot tubs with some guys from a big energy-services type contractor firm, I think they were known for trucks with orange hoods or something?
this was close enough to the Bush years that energy/military contractors still felt kinda relevant, maybe they moved to the Bakken to become another plotline or maybe I dunno
anyway they said that the fix was in, Okinawa was too politically hot for no real gain and Saipan was going to be built up to replace it
our Pacific Bermuda!
FWIW
Kim Jayeon — who had been providing a voice for the popular video game Closers — was out of her job.
Part of the problem was the source of the shirt. It’s put out by Megalia4, a South Korean feminist group.
When Kim’s tweet surfaced on July 18, scores of male gamers demanded that she apologize for supporting what they call a “anti-man hate group.”
…alright, sure, I suppo…
A major divisive issue for the movement was whether gay men married to women were dishonest and deserved to be publicly shamed. The more aggressive Megalians went on to do just that, outing a number of South Korean gay men.
huh
The controversy over the T-shirt has galvanized the critics of Megalia itself, sparking a fast-spreading campaign against people whose views appear to align with the movement’s.
“Over 80 people were badgered into issuing public apologies,” says Lee Junhaeng, a South Korean computer programmer and columnist.
Park Inha, a professor at Chungkang College of Cultural Industries southeast of Seoul, wrote in a Facebook post on July 24 that many people are accusing him and his institution for being “Megalia sympathizers” for his previous social media posts in support of feminism.
huh
