Inspired by young people around the world, each week I am going to share one resource on this thread relevant for learning more about human impact on the planet. #FridaysForFuture #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #Anthropocene #PlanetEarth (1/?)

Motherfucker was 9 and had already lost an eye.

The Tiger Stadium concession stand was pretty much just like your high school lunch room except the ladies had Stroh’s.

That one time Larry Bird decided to play left-handed against the Blazers because, and this is an actual quote, “I’m saving my right hand for the Lakers.” 47 points, 14 rebounds, 11 assists. Two nights later, the Celtics beat the Lakers at the Forum.

Better craftsmanship than 90% of actual vehicles on the road today …

Next time your kids bitch about being bored, try explaining to them television used to just fucking *stop* every night back in our day and then tell ‘em to shut the hell up.

This was a stronger country when great NFL head coaches were indistinguishable from every unhappily married local father who attended the football games at your high school while finding fault with each play.

Remember when Pizza Hut pan pizzas were basically a goddamn culinary delicacy? They’d bring them out in a real fucking skillet that was piping at about 700 degrees Fahrenheit right as your third song kicked in on the jukebox after you’d played a game of Galaga. We were kings.

Kids now are bored with smartphones, tablets, streaming media, and incredible video game systems. Here’s what I was doing today in 1979 …
