my greek professor was on the 25k dollar pyramid with florence henderson!

my life-long belief that the politics of many americans is simply “vaguely anti-authoritarian” is not refuted

dixie flatline, but she’s a waifu gf

all that is solid melts into the air

Been a weird year to celebrate an anniversary, tho less weird than our 25th in 2020, but I think three decades of hub city--press, bookshop, lit org--is worth celebrating. If a sustainable and vital literary organization can continue to exist in dark red SC, books can truly come from everywhere.

The government of Jamaica has set up a portal for contributing to official relief efforts. I will update this thread if anything analogous opens up for Haiti, Cuba, or the DR supportjamaica.gov.jm

the goonies — the closest we’ve ever gotten to a young indiana jones movie

Im actually devastated to have to report this. Please pray for Jamaican locals and if you can put a couple of bucks aside to donate. This will be a mass casualty event for locals who are unable to evacuate.

it’s a day ending in “y” so all the worst advisors to the democratic party are showing their asses, i see

it’s bad enough that we’re on the brink of a hemispheric war but now i’ll have *uncle albert / admiral halsey* in my head all day, too

a decade or so ago i used to go to a bar where 3* brothers liked to hold court after work — a little older than me, maybe, & absolutely devoted springteen fans & for an hour or two they’d play every springsteen song on the jukebox, high five each other, yell bruuuuuuce & generally carry on

whenever i think of this movie i think of my western civ prof interrupting his lecture to ask — “has anyone seen terminator, yet? y’all should really see terminator!” — & then going back to the fall of rome

This uncut sheet from a vintage ladybird book is a rare survivor. Printed front and back to create an entire book (Ladybird ABC) it somehow escaped from the factory in 1966 and is now on my kitchen wall

Will no one address the most fundamental problem? We don't need more amateurs in elected national offices. Run for state legislature. County council. Anything that involves actual governance. Get experience. Trump was an outsider and amateur in 2016. The worst GOP insider would have been better.

yeah, i was a little doubtful of the guy from the start, but hopeful, & i wanted him to be genuine, but there’s no reason to go to bat for someone with nothing but a little charisma, maybe — at best— some good intentions — & some extremely dubious choices

When I finally got the last volume I was missing last month, I pretty much expected this to happen. You're welcome.

To your point: my all time favorite Discogs comment is from the late Terry Tolkin. Go here, click on 'Reviews' and scroll down to his post from Jul 30, 2019 -- he tells the full detailed story of how he got Stereolab signed to Elektra with an amazing deal for them back in 1993. Crucial info.
