I saw yesterday where Lillian Gish's name was removed from a theater building on Bowling Green's campus last year. She had left them a big chunk of her estate.

Black Student Union wanted her name removed because she had the nerve to appear in Birth of a Nation. Not because she was a racist or a bad person. They didn't like a movie that she was in.

Sick of this shite. It's time to start *trying* to offend the perpetually offended. Give them something to cry about.

New Orleans Audubon Zoo is on the clock

Who is asking for them to be cancelled…

"They All Ask'd For You"

Hey, Lamba
Crawfish etouffee
They all asked for you

I went on down to the Audubon Zoo
And they all asked for you
They all asked for you
(For who?)
Well, they even inquired about you
I went on down to the Audubon Zoo
And they all asked for you
The monkeys asked
The tigers asked
And the elephant asked me too

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom
Boo, dee bee doo, poo boom
Boom, boom
Boo, dee bee doo, poo boom

I went on up to the big ol' sky
And they all asked for you
(For who?)
They all asked for you
Well, they even inquire about you
I went on up to the big ol' sky
And they all asked for you
The ducks asked
The eagles asked
And the buzzard asked me too

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom
Boo, dee bee doo, poo boom
Boom, boom
Boo, dee bee doo, poo boom

I went on down to the deep blue sea
And they all asked for you
They all asked for you
(For me?)
Well, they even inquire about you
I went on down to the deep blue sea
And they all asked for you
(For me?)
The shark asked
The whale asked
And the barracuda asked me too

They all asked for you
(Every morning)
They all asked for you
(Every morning)
Every there, all over there

They all asked for you
(Every morning)
They all asked for you
(Every evening)
They all asked for you

TPA resists urge to bold/highlight text…

Audubon killed a shite load of birds to make his art. Like piles of them.

What bothers me the most is that Audubon was a very poor man who barely earned enough to support his family.

And yet still bought and sold slaves?

Yeah, I don't see the playbook for how this happens at this point.

There is a growing revolt within the left. I consider myself part of it. Anne Applebaum wrote a great piece in The Atlantic a few months ago called The New Puritans. Bari Weiss left the NYT and joined Substack. It’s happening, slowly but surely. I feel so ideologically homeless right now, but I will never again make common cause with that fierce and unforgiving certainty on the far left.
