Spiro Agnew wasn’t booted for anything involving Watergate, but because he was taking bribes in the White House. He resigned because prosecutors promised him no jail time. Check out the “Bag Man” podcast if you want a full rundown.

Bag Man is a good recommendation. The fact that a Vice President could be as nakedly corrupt as Spiro Agnew is pretty mind-boggling.

This always bugged me. Plenty of cartoons have characters against a background that do not require an aura. Would it really be that indistinguishable if they didn't have an outer glow?

Edit: also I can't figure out how this comes across as anything but "the pilgrims were lousy mooches."

I think the latter is actually what he's going for. "You can't compare today's immigrants to my ancestors, the pilgrims didn't show up looking for handouts from anyone," which, as someone who knows the barest minimum of history outside of what a mildly racist 1960s elementary school teacher would have taught, lol

There's a video of teenagers struggling to operate a rotary phone. Mike Lester believes they would be similarly bewildered if challenged to practice the art of masculinity as perfected by noted wife-beater Mike Lester.

I'm older than you but the things that my students can't do are puzzling to me because I thought they'd need to do them MORE than I did at my age. Make and remember passwords (or use a password vault etc), for example.

edit: also my parents have forgotten how to get places without Google giving them spoken directions and I don't even know wtf is up with that.

I got caught in the exact moment of cursive going out of style. All through elementary school and some parts of middle school, my teachers were like "You must write in cursive - it's the only thing high school teachers and college professors will accept!" and it was loving awful. By the time I hit high school? Printed papers were where it was at and once I was in college, if I'd tried to turn in a handwritten paper, even if it was written in print, my professors would have looked at me like I was an idiot. I long for the day no one knows how to write in cursive because goddamn it's loving hard to read.

I didn't learn cursive beyond the third grade, which is why it was a bizarre kick in the face when I had to copy that "I will not cheat" agreement in cursive before taking the GRE.

Jesus yes. That made me sweat more than the test itself. My hand was cramping and I was trying to remember how to make letters.

My son (who will be 19 soon and who does have a password vault) complained about his friends not being able to remember passwords recently, and according to him, it's because his friends do nearly everything on their phones and an awful lot of apps can tie in to fingerprint recognition and don't require a separate password.
