Millennial "journalists" writing think pieces about 6-7 like Harlem shake didn't happen. GTFO.

In today's episode we run through the election of Gregory the 7, watch Henry do something clever and seemingly break up the Saxon rebellion, all while Milan is in total chaos.

New Episode of Why Tho? This one features a discussion of the 1934 Telecommunications Act, because I know what the kids want to hear! Incidentally, this wasn't intended to be timely but uh here we are.

There is, as of right now, no coverage of this protest on the WaPo website or in their @washingtonpost.com feed.

So, if you (you reading this) want people to SEE this protest, you must share it.

I'm just gonna say it. I think the shit we had to read in school had a pretty damn good batting record. Great Gatsby, Lord of the Flies, King Lear, To Kill A Mockingbird, and Huck Finn all have highly salient themes today.

Does profound art best exist to keep us angry or give us the strength to keep living? The former could get us all to destroy ourselves without purpose, the latter to accept anything that comes along until it's too late. Anyway heres wonderwal.
