My “Brooklyn bedding” shredded memory foam pillow is perfectly good, $30 after a 25% off coupon from their website right now

I think folk punk had it’s moment because it was one of the last ways to hang on to an analog world. People definitely want that feeling again, but the time has passed and it just feels wrong now.

Iirc this was an impersonator? Or maybe it’s a wax replica?

I want all my governmental collapse news delivered this way:

Always felt kinda kindred with Soylent, hope they’re happy on that big logged off rainbow in the sky

I mean, that amount of money will get you a new Prius. Not what I would call “least reliable”, but it is an otherwise mid tier car and $35k for an average car is out of reach for most Americans

As a 5 year veteran of the coffee shop mines, the syrup pumps

Famous for nothing weird ever happening there

Imagine being the server to that table

I don’t know about this Joe Biden guy

Spread that on some toast and bring peace to feuding boomers and millennials

Many such cases

Funny I was just reading about the Holy Land Foundation yesterday

Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development’), originally known as Occupied Land Fund, was the largest Islamic charity in the United States. Headquartered in Richardson, Texas,[1] and run by Palestinian-Americans.[2] The organization’s mission was to “find and implement practical solutions for human suffering through humanitarian programs that impact the lives of the disadvantaged, disinherited, and displaced peoples suffering from man-made and natural disasters.”

During the 1990s, American politicians, including Chuck Schumer and Eliot Spitzer,[3][4] alongside the Israeli government[5] and Steve Emerson,[6] lobbied the U.S. government to take action against the Holy Land Foundation.[7] In December 2001, the U.S. designated HLF a terrorist organization, seized its assets, and closed the organization. At the time it was the largest Muslim charitable organisation in the United States

My lib mom (who is somewhat well read) loves this fucking hack and this book in particular

Edit: a while back, someone posted a PDF takedown of this same book. I remember the first vignette they picked apart we the apocryphal story of the “starving young man digging his own grave”. Anyone know what I’m talking about?

FTL soundtrack is great

A friend of mine plays video games on speakers and has the Hotline Miami soundtrack playing in the background of all games, so whenever he mics in, I hear that playing in the background

Cuz they were on the winning side of WW2. Security council veto power is held by China, US, UK, France, and Russia

I mean, if the goon squad is coming after you, then just

Fr, January is a shit month, you bet you’re ass I’ll be drinking. What the fuck else is there to do? It’s freezing!

Goddamn we’re cynical

Freedom of Speech depicts a scene of a 1942 Arlington town meeting in which Jim Edgerton, the lone dissenter to the town selectmen’s announced plans to build a new school, as the old one had burned down,[9] was accorded the floor as a matter of protocol.[10] Edgerton supported the rebuilding process but was concerned about the tax burden of the proposal, as his family farm had been ravaged by disease

Something to keep in mind was this was still essentially the depression, so a farmer saying “I can’t afford the taxes to build a new school” might actually be true

It probably wasn’t racism cuz let’s be real, Vermont on 1940 was 99.9% white. I’m not making that up, I just checked the census records
