TRUMPED: Atrocities 365-416
WORD: Hippocampus - is a part of your brain that's responsible for your memory and learning. This small structure helps you remember, both short- and long-term, and gain awareness from your environment. The hippocampus is at risk of injury or damage from underlying conditions like Alzheimer's disease.
HISTORICAL CONSCIOUSNESS: 2023 - Damian Lillard to the Milwaukee Bucks! 2021 - R. Kelly was found guilty on all counts. It only took 30 years for it to happen. 2020 - The New York Times releases some of Trump’s tax returns. In 2017, a single worker without children who made $18,000 would have paid $760 in federal income tax. Donald Trump paid $750. Perhaps the most instructive thing is the $75K deduction for haircuts. 2018 - Prof. Christine Blasey-Ford testified against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh at his nomination committee. She was amazing and Kavanaugh threw a tantrum and cried like the little entitled bitch he is. 2016 - David Hahn died at the age of 39. He was an American nuclear radiation enthusiast who built a homemade neutron source in his mother’s backyard at the age of 17. 2010 - Film Editor Sally Menke went hiking with a friend and her dog in L.A.. After about an hour, her friend left because she started to feel unwell due to the heat. When Menke didn’t return home, her friends notified the police. Search dogs, a Los Angeles Police Department helicopter, and patrol officers spent hours searching Griffith Park for her. Her locked car was found in a parking lot at the park. The next day, Menke's body was discovered at the bottom of a ravine. Her dog was found alive, sitting beside her body. The coroner later determined that Menke's death was heat-related, as temperatures had reached 113 °F in downtown Los Angeles on the day she died. Sally Menke Menke was Quentin Tarantino's editor from 1992-2010. 1998 – The Google internet search engine retroactively claims this date as its birthday. 1994 - More than 350 Republican congressional candidates signed the "Contract with America," a 10-point platform they pledged to enact if voters sent a GOP majority to the U.S. House. It should have been called “Contract ON America”. 1986 - During the European leg of Metallica’s Damage Inc. tour in support of Master of Puppets, the band complained that the sleeping cubicles on their tour bus were unsatisfactory and uncomfortable. To decide who received pick of the bunks, guitarist Kirk Hammett and bassist Cliff Burton drew cards. On the evening of September 26 Burton won the game with an ace of spades, thereby getting the first choice of bunk. Burton turned to Hammett and said "I want your bunk", Hammett then responded "Fine, take my bunk, I'll sleep up front, it's probably better up there anyway." Burton was sleeping when, according to the driver, the bus skidded off the road and flipped onto the grass in Kronoberg County. Burton was thrown through the window of the bus, which fell on top of him, resulting in his death. 1975 – The last use of capital punishment in Spain sparks worldwide protests. 1964 - The Warren Commission issued a report concluding that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in assassinating President John F. Kennedy. It was the biggest pile of official government shit until the 9/11 commission report 40 years later. 1903 – The Wreck of the Old 97, an American rail disaster that became the subject of a popular ballad (and band).
“The family you come from isn’t as important as the family you’re going to have.” Ring Lardner
“There are things that have to be forgotten if you want to go on living.” Jim Thompson
“Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players, and electrical tin can openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol and dental insurance. Choose fixed-interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose a three piece suit on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pissing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked-up brats you have spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life . . . But why would I want to do a thing like that?” Irvine Welsh
Awesome!
