ackshually, a F2M transman would qualify as both

dont say that i hate it, but back in the Brothers Gibb post-Saturday Night Fever heyday, when they were absolutely dominating the pop music charts, i was working parttime as a DJ at a top 40 station

that June less talented kid brother Andy released a song called “An Everlasting Love” which began climbing predictably and depressingly up the charts

i vowed never to listen to it, ever, for the rest of my life - a rather daunting task considering my job and its popularity at the time

so whenever it came up in the rotation, i would start it and immediately take off my headphones and turn off the speakers in the booth

i would wait until i could see it was reaching the last few seconds before the fadeout and start the next record, so i only ever heard the first 2-3 seconds of the intro and the last 5-10 seconds of the end

i also took pains to avoid it whenever i heard it in public, even ti the point of walking out of a restaurant in the middle of a meal when i recognized the intro chords

almost 50 years later i couldn’t tell you a thing about it other than the intro

here it is if you want to listen to it (i won’t):

My suspicion is that the crisis of modernity isn’t that people have discovered the old sources of meaning were fraudulent; it’s that we’ve systematically destroyed the institutions that allowed ordinary people to feel that their lives mattered.

Someone lit some fireworks. Tipped over. Hit a bush. Caught fire. My kids opened the window with an AC unit, to see the fire dept. It was not bracketed. So it fell from2nd floor and hit our vehicles while fire dept was putting out bush. Luckily no one was under it.

defending the party whose policies led to the Patriot Act, the Afghanistan/Iraq multitrillion dollar quagmire, and the 2008 financial crisis is certainly a choice

If we get rid of birthright citizenship, and an illegal immigrant gives birth on US soil, that child wouldn't have citizenship and (as I understand it) could be eligible for deportation even if he's 25 years old and only speaks English.

---

you believe someone born the day after birthright citizenship was ended could evade deportation for 25 years? presumably without an documentation that he’s residing in the US legally?

up by 3 TDs in the 4th quarter and you call for a jump ball on a deep throw in the endzone to a short guy?
