Prediction: the Nаzi salute will become common within 2 years. RWers will half-аss it for plausible deniability, memeify the backlash, then start fully doing it "as a joke" "to troll the libs" "for being hysterical enough to think we were doing it in the first place"

Watching the UK v. WKU game. I'm reminded that WKU was THE leader in sports integration in KY. In 1971 WKU went to the Final Four starting 5 Black in-state players routing UK on the way. Maybe I should finish this book.
