It amazes me how the "anti-ism" crowd, who would lose their minds over racist, sexist, homophobic, & anti-trans language, have no issues spouting/suppoting vitriolic, ageist bs.
And when called on it, DEFEND that language.
The hypocrisy is stunning. #FuckAgeism.

Beneath the Willow, Tsukioka Sessai, after 1778, Cleveland Museum of Art: Japanese Art
Two young women cool themselves by a river as a willow blows in the breeze. One crouches down to rinse a hand towel, while the other sits with her chin balanced on her fan.

All three top US and English boxers of the 1880s had one or both parents from Ireland, as did 1880s World Middleweight Champ, 'Nonpareil' Jack Dempsey, who was born there.

If you have never had a comice pear, and you happen to come across one - grab it.
It's ok if it is hard and greenish. It will ripen in a few days and will be more resistant to bruising during transport.
One there is a slight yield and a yellow hue - eat immediately or refrigerate.
Heaven.

what i love is that in 1990 judas priest got brought to trial over the claim that subliminal messages in the recording "better by you better than me" caused two suicides and now in 2025 openai seems to be generating a suicide a week with its superliminal messages and the US government is funding it

Few things these days win accolades not because of their inherent value (artistic or otherwise), but because of how well promoted they are.

Always wondered how so many older people here could be so ageist.
I had theories of course.
Nice to see my thoughts echoed in research.
I think there is a "go along to get along" component also.
Glad I never worried much about "getting along".
