20,000

The last state-sanctioned public execution in the United States occurred more than 90 years ago in Owensboro, Kentucky. Some 20,000 people gathered to witness the August 1936 hanging of Rainey Bethea, a young Black man who had been convicted of raping an elderly white woman.

I hadn't thought of that. If I donate blood often enough, I can save money on gym fees (if I went to the gym).

Good tip. They always make me repeatedly grip my fist to fill the bag quicker. Even my blood is lazy.

I didn't think I had a sport, but I think you might have just invented it.

That's true, being a provocative needlessly contrarian wanker does seem the easiest way to be successful. Might start doing it. Cats are shit. Chocolate cake is for morons. Crash helmets are for softies.

Parenting hits different when you just decide not to do it.

He's called Muse, Facebook sent him. Apparently you can ask him to do anything...

Hey folks. In total honesty my tour is NOT selling well. I’ve sold 30 tickets in a 400 seater in Birmingham, and not much more elsewhere. If you like musical comedy, if you like standup, then please come see my show! And spread the word! The Rachel Parris Songbook tour starts in Nov! Link in bio! 🎶
