One time around 2006 I told my ex-wife that maps were for girls. I was kidding but that was a huge mistake.

Never again.

“Godspeed, Hugh Hefner”: Playmates, celebrities, civil rights leaders remember the Playboy founder

A visionary editor who for decades threw lavish parties at his home, the Playboy Mansion, Hefner lived a glamorous Hollywood life, sharing time and photo ops with a diverse cast of celebrities, civil rights leaders and journalists.

The memories, condolences and even some jokes that people shared after Hefner’s death reflect the complicated legacy of the founder of Playboy magazine, who died at 91.

I don’t think Hefner and “civil rights” have ever crossed my mind at the same time. I’m not saying he wasn’t behind all that or that he wasn’t a strong supporter. I guess I’ve just thought more about bunnies when I have thought about him.

But how can one not trust the word of Rev Jesse Jackson Sr?

Saw this yesterday on the social medias.

Maggie and I have been talking as of late on the theory that there aren’t bad people, just people who do bad things.

But sometimes you gotta wonder.

Controversial removal of Confederate monuments starts in New Orleans

New Orleans began removing the first of four prominent Confederate monuments early Monday, the latest Southern institution to sever itself from symbols viewed by many as representing racism and white supremacy.

Workers started removing the first memorial, one that commemorates whites who tried to topple a biracial post-Civil War government in New Orleans, overnight in an attempt to avoid disruption from supporters who want the monuments to stay, some of whom city officials said have made death threats, reports CBS New Orleans affiliate WWL-TV.

I don’t why this is controversial.
