I posted this article because I have been thinking a lot about cancel culture, and how it applies to writers I love. Mencken, despite his obvious and serious flaws, has provided me with hours of entertainment. When I need a break from the world there is something about his writing that puts me in a good mood. Of course he was a product of his time, but his casual racism and anti semitism is offensive. I tend to overlook or ignore it, because there is something about his intelligence, humor, and sense of humanity that makes me doubt his prejudices are real. Maybe I'm being overly generous.
Anyway, this article captures Mencken, both good and bad. I don't know if any stackers have opinions about him.

Nice write-up.
Don't forget to make fun of them, sticking a B sign on their useless rules :)

This one was big for me. Motivation is bs, be disciplined instead
