I can’t bring myself to post pictures of this wing-ding. Here’s a nice collared lizard instead.
An “upmarket” Los Angeles neighborhood has been stripped of its few remaining “No U-Turn” street signs… because they’re (oh, forsooth) “homophobic” (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13532687/Los-Angeles-Homophobic-LGBTQ-Hollywood.html).
It is alleged that the signs had been put up, years ago, to discourage homosexual “hook-ups” in public places. So we guess U-turns are permitted now.
Is this how a civilization dies? Just sayin’. They had a big celebration to mark the removal of the signs. (“No Cruising” went, too.) It is reported that there were a number of area residents who didn’t understand what this was all about. Well, now they do.
This era’s cultural history will be written up in books someday.
Who will read them?
