I once had a chance to pick up one of these from a private collection, but the owner never turned his back on me, the cad.

I note that a goodly number of the above are in their fifties…
“Modern feminism can’t agree on what a woman is. It’s defended violent male predators in women’s prisons and stayed silent on UK rape gangs to avoid being called racist.” — SOTI.
There are all sorts of social couplings [sic] that anyone with a brain could see would lead to trouble. (Note the “with a brain” stipulation; this will be important later.) Allow me to list but a few.
My point is that common sense would dictate that all the above should be recognized as being potentially troublesome, because everyday experience (not to mention history) can provide endless examples thereof. (Here’s one example of the last in the above list.)
And yet all the above silliness is not only allowed, but encouraged — and then when the S Hits The F, everyone is surprised? (Well, I’m not surprised, and nor is anyone with some vestige of common sense.)
Frankly, I’m done with all of it. Let the social experimenters continue with their endless, foolish experiments, I don’t care a fig.
If girls get raped by men in their high school- or college toilets and locker rooms, I don’t care.
If boys come back from their Scout camps with a shiny new Fellatio Badge: hang the offending Scout leaders and fine / flog / imprison the parents for their negligence; I don’t care.
If every female sailor gets pregnant and has to go on some kind of lifetime G.I. benefits, and ships sink because of a shortage of sailors; so be it.
If the incidence of rape by male warders skyrockets in women’s prisons; whatever.
If female warders get pregnant by their convict boyfriends or help said boyfriends get access to drugs, booze or guns; tell someone who cares.
I’m not interested in getting excited about foolishness and its many consequences.
Because if I do get excited about all the above, then I’m the intolerant one, the male chauvinist, the right-winger, the whatever.
I don’t care about that, either. FOAD, the lot of you.
…or, Flock Off, Part 2:
A Wisconsin woman was pulled over at gunpoint twice in one week after Milwaukee Police Department staff failed to remove a vehicle alert from the Flock license plate camera system.
Fox 6 Milwaukee reports that on Thursday, police in the Milwaukee suburb of Brookfield, Wisconsin, conducted a high-risk traffic stop on Interstate 94 after a Flock camera flagged a vehicle in connection with a Milwaukee homicide investigation. Video footage from the incident shows multiple officers with weapons drawn and a passenger extending their hands out the car window in compliance with police commands.
The vehicle’s driver, Amber Newell, and her passengers were detained during the stop. However, when Brookfield Police contacted the Milwaukee Police Department to coordinate the arrest, MPD informed them they no longer needed the vehicle or its occupants. The officers immediately released Newell and the other individuals.
And if anyone in this party of “desperadoes” had been accidentally shot, it would have resulted in an “Oops, my bad” response from the cops, no doubt.
Remember: “If you’ve done nothing wrong, there’s nothing to worry about.”
Uh huh.
Grex delenda est.

Here’s the setup:
The Rock ‘N Roll Hall Of Fame (a stupid concept all by itself, but we can discuss that some other time) has decided that they’ve cocked the whole thing up, and want to start from scratch. In other words, the HoF is completely empty and needs refilling. And in their magnificent wisdom, they’ve given you the job of deciding the inductees, with the following restrictions:
The inductees must be genuine rock ‘n rollers: no jazz, no country and only a few exceptions for the blues can be made. The inductions happen every year. The list of inductees may not be longer than twenty in any given year.
I’ll start the ball rolling with my thoughts on the topic. I’m going to do it more or less historically, just to make things simple (I think), and they’re in no specific order.
Year 1, in which I list the early rock-and-rollers, but leave the R&B vocal bands and singers for next year:
Feel free to argue the selection, or tell me about notable exclusions from the list. One last thought: I’ve excluded the “influencers” (e.g. Muddy Waters and all those Depression-era blues artists), because otherwise we’ll be here all day.
