        As long as you weren’t Black, Native, gay, trans, homeless, a woman, or any other marginalized group – then yeah, the 50s were grand

        Which started long before the 1950s. The temperance movement in the US started in the first half of the 19th century.

        So relatively recent yeah, but not really relevant in this comment thread.

          Did you know that human history includes historic events that happened in the second half of the 18th century? It’s true!

          Some historic events didn’t even include Americans!

          Didn’t alcohol use actually go up during temperance? I swear I read some studies on that. Like that was the reason it failed – alcohol use not only increased, but the alcohol that was available became more dangerous, so temperance was reversed and regulations on how it was made and licensing were instated.

    I haven’t seen this movie in a really, really long time, so I don’t remember what the dad actually looks like, but in this frame and at this angle he looks like a weird morph of Tommy Lee Jones and Bob Odenkirk

    can’t tell if this is a photo of a paper or the editor went through the effort of making the black text background look better than just plain black, either way kudos
