> [@Xocomil](#): > > Was it a Dignitas Pillow ad? Nope, since their site is bragging about a 20th anniversary and this was more like 40 years ago. It was part of an ‘honesty in advertising’ series.

> [@JRDelirious](#): > > But really if it hadn’t been that she started dating Belichick, specifically, all she and whoever she was with would have to deal with would be disapproving eyebrow raises from restaurant servers and Uber drivers. Yeah. I’m 65 and white. My current GF is 45 and black as in Afro-Caribbean. We have gotten some pretty entertaining reactions from car valets, hotel clerks, and restaurant waitstaff. Around here interracial couples are about as novel as Toyotas. But add the age difference on top and it seems to trip some triggers. Such fun. ---

In pretty much every war, soldiers begin using slurs to ‘name’ the enemy. They do that as a way to dehumanize them – to make them seem less than human. And they do THAT so it’s easier to pull the trigger. That’s the harm that comes from the intolerant rhetoric that we see so much of. I wish I could figure out where it’s coming from … 🤮 ---

It’s okay, people didn’t feel like discussing it much there either. I guess there’s not much to say about it. It’s so unequivocally evil that there’s not much else to say except yeah, that’s fucking horrible. ---

> [@DavidNRockies](#): > > The inexorable drift of the Awfulton window. > [@DavidNRockies](#): > > I wish I could figure out where it’s coming from … Nothing hard to figure out about it. Faux news and Russian propaganda is relentlessly pushing this stuff onto a susceptible populace that starts out with racial antipathy as a default setting and they’re then led one small step at a time right over the edge into batshit lunacy. Not everyone carries it far enough to actually do cfrazy shit rather than just hoping for crazy shit, but even 1/2 of 1 percent of 150 million Americans is a large number of people. The country will not get better until that stuff is purged from the internet and the airwaves and is not permitted to return. Since you know that stopping that stuff is impossible, you also now know that the country healing is also impossible. ---

Sorry, it was an attempt at a smothering joke, [Dignitas](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dignitas_(non-profit_organisation)) being an assisted suicide organization. I thought I might have seen the ad you mentioned in Popular Science around the turn of the millennium but that would be about a decade and a half too late. ---
