Why even bother with a whole 'bird conspiracy' mythos if animal world is literally human world. Think of all the interesting ideas you use in this setting that isn't just "What if humans, but animals?"

Remember when people were seriously implying that new Nancy was poo poo?
They were wrong

Dustin

This is where different rules for bike riding in different places ruins the joke. I couldn't say how it is in a bigger city, but where I am, only children are allowed to ride on sidewalks. Adults are required to ride on the street But I'm in a smaller city, which insists it's still a town. I don't know what bike rules are like in Calgary. Maybe this hits better in cities.

At least Dustin gets a chance to poo poo on a demographic for once.

I think the point is that those are rental e-scooters and rental city bikes, the users of which famously don't know a flying rat's rear end about traffic laws and rules, or even attempt to obey them. I city bike daily in my city that has pretty good biking conditions (dedicated bike lanes almost everywhere etc) and the times I've been nearly nailed by some loving halfwits on scooters just deciding to do a Crazy Ivan out of nowhere is quite high.

Yes I am salty about them.

Oh, ok. Less boomer bitching, and more of a reasonable observation. Dustin is headed in a good direction at least.

In case you're curious about Adolphe Menjou.

wikipedia posted:

Political beliefs

Menjou was a staunch Republican who equated the Democratic Party with socialism. He supported the Hoover administration's policies during the Great Depression. Menjou told a friend that he feared that if a Democrat won the White House, they "would raise taxes [and] destroy the value of the dollar," depriving Menjou of a good portion of his wealth. He took precautions against this threat: "I've got gold stashed in safety deposit boxes all over town... They'll never get an ounce from me."[11] In the 1944 presidential election, he joined other celebrity Republicans at a rally in the Los Angeles Coliseum, organized by studio executive David O. Selznick, to support the Dewey�Bricker ticket and Governor Earl Warren of California, who would be Dewey's running mate in 1948. The gathering drew 93,000, with Cecil B. DeMille as the master of ceremonies and short speeches by Hedda Hopper and Walt Disney. Despite the rally's large turnout, most Hollywood celebrities who took public positions supported the Roosevelt�Truman ticket.[12]

In 1947, Menjou cooperated with the House Committee on Un-American Activities saying that Hollywood "is one of the main centers of Communist activity in America". He added: "it is the desire and wish of the masters of Moscow to use this medium for their purposes" which is "the overthrow of the American government".[13] Menjou was a leading member of the Motion Picture Alliance for the Preservation of American Ideals, a group formed to oppose communist influence in Hollywood, whose other members included John Wayne, Barbara Stanwyck (with whom Menjou costarred in Forbidden in 1932 and Golden Boy in 1939) and her husband, actor Robert Taylor.

Because of his political leanings, Menjou came into conflict with actress Katharine Hepburn, with whom he appeared in Morning Glory, Stage Door, and State of the Union (also starring Spencer Tracy). Hepburn was strongly opposed to the HUAC hearings, and their clashes were reportedly instant and mutually cutting. During a government deposition, Menjou said, "Scratch a do-gooder, like Hepburn, and they'll yell, 'Pravda'."[14] To this, Hepburn called Menjou "wisecracking, witty�a flag-waving super-patriot who invested his American dollars in Canadian bonds and had a thing about Communists."[14] In his book Kate, Hepburn biographer William Mann said that during the filming of State of the Union, she and Menjou spoke to each other only while acting.[14][citation needed]

Oh.

Also. LOL Hepburn is the best.

Satana was born Tura Luna Pascual Yamaguchi in Hokkaidō, Japan.[2] Her father was a Japanese silent movie actor of Filipino descent, and her mother was a circus performer of Native American (Cheyenne) and Scots-Irish background

That's quite the background for pre WWII.

Also. Just read the following paragraph on that article. Jesus Christ. Her childhood was basically 'I spit on your grave"
