Makes sense, since if you’re going to be conservative you need something to conserve! Millennials have nothing compared to the generations before us

I heard there was a Cohen song,
And all the Christians got it wrong,
But you don’t really get the meaning do ya?
‘Cause you see its about getting laid,
It’s sex, and love, and Jewish faith,
But all the gentiles heard was “hallelujah!”

What a strange framing and characterization. How does one describe his blatantly dishonest, racist question about taxes as “press[ing] the Mayor-elect on his policy proposals”? In what way does this lying troll emerge as a “winner“?

It’s gonna be wild when (I guess it’s more “if” at this point) archaeologists find the grave of some dedicated furry in 1000 years and are “mystified” by this “unknown ritual.” I feel like people have just been unique and quirky for as long as we’ve been around—maybe she was just super into seafood.
