No more topless natives?

That was pure heterosexuality, Comrade! It must be crushed!.

No wonder Disney couldn't publish it.

I haven’t bought or watched anything Disney since the first time I heard they were doing the Lesbo thing pitched to babies not yet in school.

As for NG, well, when I first read about “climate change” in one of their sub-heads, that was it for me.

Disney can PC itself right off the planet. Buh-BYE!

My wife kind of made me wake up, I would bitch when I opened it and began reading it, and this went on for a while, until she suggested I cancel it!

I was a boiled frog.

USA Today got thinner, and thinner, until they were slipping a sheet of paper under the door of my hotel room!

I used to deliver the Washington Post back in 1972, and the Sunday edition was at least three or four inches thick.

Back in the 60's friends of my parents use to give me all their NatGeo magazines, I loved them and the maps that were in them.

NatGeo today is nothing but advertisements.....

I didn’t realize they were a for-profit operation, though I probably should have.

When my dad subscribed, they were controlled by the Grosvenor family, descendants of Alexander Graham Bell, and they could still pretend to be an educational and scientific foundation.

The latest example of “Get woke, go broke.” Sad.

My inlaws collected the magazines. Just recently, I loaded up 4 full size garbage cans with them and took them to the dump and threw them in the recycling.

It's easy to imagine tat they’ve gone woke recently but even if that’s true there was a time when it was worthy of respect.

They were excellent for decades until the left turned them into just another propaganda and brainwashing tool.

This is a classic case of the left’s long march through the institutions.

That's unfortunate, you should have tried to give them to a local school or even a used book store.

A couple of years ago I purchased a Jan. 26, 1953 copy of Life magazine that had a picture of my dad in it when he was an officer in the MPs stationed in Berlin. I even have a picture of dad and the photographer who was doing an essay on the smuggling of equipment from Germany to Czechoslovakia via the railroad trains. His name was David Douglas Duncan

That used to be a fine magazine. They were early adopters of woke and green movements. It got to where half the magazines are nothing but sociology.and quack science. Shameful what they did to it.

There were 4 more trash cans of hard cover books that I tried that with.
Nobody wanted to deal with the sorting.
Those went to the trash for burial.
People cannot or will not deal with old Boomer trash.

Some issues were popular with us boys in 1970s elementary school for that reason. Word would get around and we’d all have to check it out.

I was already into Playboy by then. My parents divorced when I was 14 and I had centerfolds on my bedroom wall right after that. No Farrah Fawcett posters for me!
