Why Can't We Be Friends?

Want to improve race relations but don't know where to start?



Here are some of the many things you can do to help reduce racism in your personal life and in your community.

And a tune I chose to accompany the post. Simple question. Simple lyrics. "Why Can't We Be Friends?"...



The band (War) got the idea for this song when they were traveling in Japan in the early '70s. Drummer Harold Brown said, "We're all connected by language, and by our food, and by our culture. Most racists don't know why they're racist. But you pick them up and take them over and drop them in a country, like India or Pakistan, guess what? 'Why can't we be friends?' Because all of a sudden you find out we're more alike inside than we are on the outside. We started realizing that that's really important. You travel all over the world, you can't speak a lot of their language. But one thing they do know, they know your body language, how you may react."

Cleaning Things Up

It seems that Tumblr has decided to clean things up.



When I clicked on several Tumblr sites that I occasionally visit, this is what I saw...



To make matters worse, those white splotches that look like cum stains were flashing so I had to close the site before I had a seizure.

Tumblr has installed a "safe mode" to filter out explicit content.

Here's what I want to know...

Is there a way for me to get past the "safe mode" screen to view the sites I want to visit? Note: I'm not a Tumblr subscriber.

Thanking you in advance, Bitches.

p.s. Here's an example.

Ladder Safety Violations

Did you or did you not read my Public Service Announcement regarding ladder safety?

Obviously not!...



And this inexcusable footwear violation!...

Public Service Announcement #38

To keep healthy this summer, stay hydrated...

Thirst isn’t the best indicator that you need to drink. If you get thirsty, you’re already dehydrated.

Drink plenty of water, Bitches!

This has been an Infomaniac Public Service Announcement.

Nude Day Meets Bastille Day

Hold on to your hats, Bitches...



Today we celebrate both National Nude Day and Bastille Day (aka "la Fête nationale" or "le 14 juillet") ...

and, of course, today is Filthy Friday.

Summer Jobs

Back in the mists of time, in your youth, did you have a summer job?



Tell us about it.

Somebody Hose Me Down

Is it hot or is it just me?

Laundry List

Now that you Bitches have finished the laundry...

The Weekend

Which of these photos most closely resembles your typical weekend?

This one?..

Or this one?...

Quote of the Day - Eddie Izzard

If there is a god they need to come down to Earth and explain WWII, Hitler, bowel cancer, and Croc shoes.

Quote from his recently published memoir, "Believe Me: A Memoir of Love, Death, and Jazz Chickens."

Summer Camp

Hands up if you went to summer camp, as a child...



Now, tell us about it.

Happy Fourth of July!

Since you'll be at the beach or a barbecue on the big day, we're wishing you American Bitches a happy Fourth of July in advance...



Fun funereal fact: Three Presidents have died on the 4th of July: John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Monroe.

Canuck Duck

Nothing says CANADA like a six-storey-tall, 89 foot long (more than 27 metres) inflatable RUBBER DUCK weighing in at 30,000 pounds (13,600-kilograms)...



The duck is travelling throughout the Province of Ontario this summer as part of Canada's 150th birthday celebrations.

But rather than making a splash, the duck's $200,000 price tag has some taxpayers crying fowl.

And feathers have been ruffled by claims that the giant bath toy is a fraud.



The question remains: Why a rubber duck? How is this in any way related to Canadian history or to Canadian culture?

So over to you now, Bitches. What giant inflatable object do you think would be more representative of Canada than a rubber duck?

Happy 150th!

Things that turn 150 on July 1st:

Canada...



and Norma...

Justin Trudeau's Socks

Mr. Peenee asks, "Did you see the story in the New York Times about Justin Trudeau's socks? We are all 12 year old girls at heart when it comes to Canadia's king or whatever he is."

And so we present a sampling of Justin Trudeau's socks, just for you, Bitches.

Maple Leaf socks: a Canadian emblem...



Giving German Chancellor Angela Merkel an eyeful ...  of his NATO socks...



Mr. DeVice will appreciate Justin's Star War socks...



Being presented with a Toronto Maple Leafs hockey jersey while wearing Montreal Canadiens hockey socks...



Sock pride!...



And finally, Mr. Peenee's socks!...



... which were obviously knocked off when he saw Justin Trudeau's socks.
