So,
given that we have
a white woman claiming to be black leading a NAACP chapter,
comedians afraid to play to college audiences,
a group dedicated to diversity excluding people based on skin color,
and
the Klu Klux Klan accepting black, Jewish and gay members
(meanwhile,
I appear to have 1992 on the phone ranting about wanting its election back or something),
it's easy to think that satire has given up,
gone home,
and is curled in a fetal position under the covers in bed,
wimpering for a simpler time.
But no,
it's not given up—it's just that satire has gotten harder to detect:
Black Chicago men start Klu Klux Klan chpater citing a declining culture as a reason.
That is simply brilliant
(but alas,
real life still has a way of trumping satire when it wants to).
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
