someone captioned a picture of one of the banners, later adding in a comment: “And then what happened.”

😂

It turned out to be a pretty mind-blowing day in Dallas after all.

Lmao holy fuck that is amazingly, comically tasteless. Like sure, it was 60 years ago, but I’m also pretty sure that’s not an element of the city’s history that most current residents are terribly proud of.

"Blowback Ahead"

I see what you did there.

It's mind-blowing that they'd choose that for the actual article title.

Had a childhood friend visit DC once, he came back and told me he "saw the place Lincoln got JFKed"

Still laugh about that phrase.

I hate it when people say “Happy Fall” and refuse to say “Happy Day JFK Was Shot.” Starbucks doesn’t even do a cup any more.

Maybe “blowback” wasn’t the best word to use

ericisshort@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 2y

It was the prefect word.

Not as much blowback as Jackie got

Do people under 25 years old feel the same way about 9-11 the same way I feel about the JFK/RFK headshots?

Personally I have them all confused for KFC. Fuck me KFC used to be better 15 years ago. Not that I'm a boomer or anything. They just totally watered down their fries. Upon other crimes.

Alright, what's the recipe?

I really need to make chicken and waffles sometime. I have a great waffle maker, but I'm sure as shit not going to actually deep fry chicken.

It's the switch to vegetable oils that did it, even though lard is actually healthier (way less gets absorbed)

Well, at least your demands for consent from the dead are funny. We should also get approval from that Kennedy that skied into a tree.

That was a Bono, not a Kennedy.
