Wow, House Republicans are going to a lot of trouble not to force the release of the real Epstein files. The real files, the ones that we know Donald Trump features in, since FBI agents working at the direction of Bondi and Patel spent a lot of time redacting his name.

Yep. We’re white until they decide we’re not. And, ultimately, no amount of capitulation or collaboration is enough to ensure our safety.

I keep saying it because it matters: the people talking the loudest about “antisemitism” right now hate Jews. I know it’s confusing. Being Jewish is often confusing.

When will people on the left wake up and realize they fell for a right wing moral panic about social media and cell phones that’s currently being used to strip us all of civil liberties? Jonathan Haidt, one of the primary architects of this moral panic, just brought his misinfo blog to Bari Weiss

Not saying by any means that that is the only reason, of course, but it is a major factor in what allowed a groundswell of people to turn against the crown.

A major obstacle was the continued cultural tie between Great Britain and the colonies; continuing to think of themselves as fundamentally British. King George and Parliament were greatly responsible for changing sentiment in the colonies by their tyrannical attitude towards their own citizens.

(just as an aside, the battery from the original mower still works perfectly. I wasn’t able to buy one without a battery just because of exigencies and I really couldn’t be spending time looking for a mower. I needed to buy another one in haste at the point when the other mower’s blade motor died.)

Anyway, it works really well, feel free to DM me if you have any problems and berate me about it personally if you are displeased.

The blade motor finally died a few weeks ago, purchased another Ego (same platform; 21 inch), works like a charm. I’m not someone who enjoys doing this. I like physical work and being outside, but, I am not.… This is not for me.

This is my 19th summer as a homeowner; small front yard long backyard on a hill (which sucks). Had a craftsman gas mower for the first 11 years; got an Ego seven years ago. I am a weekly mower, from at some point in March till some point in October.

They obviously fucked themselves by hounding out all the Jewish scientists - that was obviously stupid - but they still gave the outward appearance of pride themselves on scientific development. Just with no Jews.
Mr. PotHead (@mrpothead.bsky.social) reply parent
I read this more along the lines of saying he is surprised that a regime would be dismantling their avenues of scientific enterprise. The Nazis definitely did not do that.

As the nation returns to an earlier age in both, it’s legal reasoning and it’s general level of municipal services, i.e., the early- to mid-19th century, ESPN is returning to its late-‘70s roots. Or “routes,” as the dictation would have had it.

It really is; the only significant difference I can think of, generationally, is the amount of music that he was referencing that was both in popular culture, on the radio, and commonly heard. It’s gotta be a little trickier doing that today.
Mr. PotHead (@mrpothead.bsky.social) reply parent
6/ Or, what came before; imagine what someone who came of age in the 1910s and 20s would think about any of those cultural areas I mentioned above: television networks, movie studios, the music recording industry. They would have little area of reference for the US between the ‘30s and the ‘80s.
Mr. PotHead (@mrpothead.bsky.social) reply parent
5/ the amount of signifiers that these generations are able to understand about the other I think are significantly higher than what we have witnessed over the past 30 to 40 years with the last two generations.
Mr. PotHead (@mrpothead.bsky.social) reply parent
4/ in sum, the cultural language of both baby boomers and generation X are close enough that, even taking into account political differences,
Mr. PotHead (@mrpothead.bsky.social) reply parent
3/ to the functioning and evolution of the movie studio system over the years these generational cohorts dominated; even so far as similarities in the music recording industry: how studios built up young stars and developed them, the growth of different band cultures over the decades, etc.
Mr. PotHead (@mrpothead.bsky.social) reply parent
2/ I would venture to argue that, in the post enlightenment age, few generations have had as much connecting them culturally as these two - from the news and TV shows we grew up ingesting and internalizing from the big three networks,

Every review I’ve read or personal opinion I’ve seen of this tour has been equally as genuinely fulsome. I remember sitting on the floor in my bedroom in 1983 - I was 9 - listening to “In 3-D” and loving every minute. (I was already a fan from “Another One Rides the Bus” and “I Love Rocky Road”.)
