use of both terms EXPLODES in the 1990s btw, where it is suddenly being applied much more frequently to the American context..

actually, it's 1875.

headline: "FROM THE PACIFIC COAST.: SAN FRANCISCO INTERESTS, A SPECIALLY FAVORABLE SEASON--THE FEELING AGAINST CAPT. WADDELL AND THE PACIFIC MAIL DIRECTORY--STEINBERGER'S POPULARITY AMONG HIS HEATHEN SUBJECTS."

don't have time ATM to read entire article sorry, but here's the terrific opening lines:

After five weeks' rain, with scarcely one clear day, we have once more our glorious Winter weather, bright, sunny, clear, and an atmosphere just bracing enough to require a thin Fall overcoat, and that not needed if you are walking. Already the hill-sides are clothed in emerald hues, and the grateful bovine nippeth the tender grass and the festive dairyman sees signs of a fall in butter.

you make a lot of trigger jokes mordy what's up with that

the grateful bovine nippeth the tender grass and the festive dairyman sees signs of a fall in butter

journalism standards really have declined, I gotta say

xxp amateurist what's the line w/ the "pc" quote?

don't worry about it shakes

mordy, i'd have to read through the whole thing to find out! it's not text-searchable.

emoluments, he don't got any any

"He continued to destroy ships long after he was aware that the war was over. 'Like a boss,' our correspondent added."

lol

"Once again, it's the tail wagging the dog."

Waddell was obv a bad loser.

So the idea is that if someone is derisively called "politically correct" presumably because they are unnecessarily touchy about things. This displays a lack of self-awareness because if you are upset about someone being PC then you are being unnecessarily touchy imo.

like ta shoot someone out of a Western canon, right into a busy intersectionality

lol Morbs ^

revive because… oh no
