A Few Hundred Places in the US Could Use New Names
Before we start renaming bird species we might want to take a look at the US Map where hundreds of places are named really racist names. Like the 621 places with the word Negro in them (Big Negro Creek for example), or the 29 places named Chinaman. And did you know that Anna means “Ain’t No (N-words) Allowed”?
It’s odd we don’t have even one place called Bad English Teeth-ville.
Supreme Court Could Determine Whether a Draft Has to Include Women
This week the Supreme Court is expected to decide whether they will take up the case questioning the constitutionality of an all-male draft. If the court takes the case and determines the current Selective Service Act is unconstitutional, then Congress will have to decide if they want to pass a new act requiring all genders to register.
But remember if you don’t want to go to war, all you need is a few bone spurs.

Of course Markle-haters have a big problem, saying that Lillibet was a “private nickname” for the queen and the they shouldn’t have chose it as for their name.

Reddit Asks People Who Signed NDA Agreements to D!
Did you have to sign a non disclosure agreement for something and now that agreement has expired? Then Reddit wants to know, what was so secret? They got some fascinating answers like these:
- Most American Idol contestants have agents that got them on the show, and 90-95% of it is pre-cast before the “audition tour”.
- I was actually an actor in that commercial that said I wasn’t.
- The fajitas sizzle because we pour oil and water on a hot plate not because we grilled anything.
- A huge part of The Bachelorette was scripted. If half those guys weren’t on their phones texting their real girlfriends most of the time, I would be surprised.
- I look after instant photobooths remotely, I see all your stupid faces, all of them, everyday.
Why disclose something that we don’t even care about?
