Milwaukeean here, and the answer is "Republicans in the state legislature"

Treasure Island spotted! @bobbytmke.bsky.social , were these stores still around when you came to Milwaukee? Mid-market department stores, focused on clothing, located in suburban strip malls. Those distinctive roofs were as much a part of the local landscape as Kohl's grocery stores' were.

Slightly diminish a band: ‽‽‽

Useful concept, dontcha think?

Sure, I'll follow the herd: "What perfect albums came out when you were 16?", old people's edition

I'm back in my old neighborhood, getting ready to watch the Superman movie under twinkling skies in the Avalon Theater. I miss living a couple blocks away

@milwaukeerecord.bsky.social they demolished the Beaver Dam pyramid

Please please please somebody tell me it's killed Milwaukee's I-94 widening, too

If you see this, etc. etc.

Ruin a book's title by replacing one word with 'butthole' The Three-Butthole Problem

I need to live more biblically (weeps)

"Deep in the city of the saints and fools Pearls before pigs and dung become jewels I sit down with tigers, I sit down with lambs None of them know who exactly I am "I've got this thing in my heart I must give you today It only lives when you give it away..." www.youtube.com/watch?v=78R5...

Ok I'll join the crowd -- Movie you’ve seen more than six times, no Star Wars or Trek or LOTR

Kiss, "Rock and Roll All Nite". As music, it's just objectively bad.

Now, I'm not one of the world's great geniuses so I can't be the first person who's ever thought of this, but I'm feeling proud of myself atm for thinking of searching bsky for the phrase "gift article". Maybe when I get home tonight I'll see how far I can stretch this newly discovered boon

Writing the word "wart" on a chalkboard in 7th grade Y'see, a bunch of us were having fun saying "wart, wart" before class one day and Mr. Knorr got mad and threatened punishment on the next kid who said "wart" ... and so the Rule of Funny demanded it be written on the chalkboard

Industrial espionage at a lousy job that I'm aware I'm about to get fired from

Losing a job for criticizing one of the President's hangers-on, that's some old Soviet-style nonsense. Why did we even bother prosecuting the cold war all those years ago? Weren't *we* supposed to be better than *them* because we didn't do this shit? Now look at us.

Rest well, Honey Boy. Thanks for all the music

Happy first day of still listening to Christmas music, to all who celebrate

I've been listening to the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols ever since I found it by accident 45 years ago on BBC shortwave, and just *today* after the broadcast ended I discover we have a #9LC hashtag? And it had been happening for years at the other place??? Aaaaaargh Bright side is,

I can't do faith or belief very well, but I become a weeping puddle of piety for about 90 minutes every Christmas Eve morning when I hear the chorister sing "Once in Royal David's City" at the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols www.yourclassical.org/story/2024/1...

Going down a Whole Earth Catalog rabbit hole at the wholeearth.info this fine Sunday afternoon with a bug up my butt about their place in the origins of asshole tech bro libertarianism, I found this gem in the January 1970 supplement's employee gripe section:

A great thread where I learned about an amazing tool that I bet Edward Tufte would approve of. It's info is presented beautifully and usefully. Go play. Apparently I goof off a little at work, but have pretty good sleep hygeine

You know what? Whine all you want about what you think 'ethics' is, but blocking someone out of disgust at the ethical choices they made is a valid response. A necessary response, even.

Name a favorite three-album run: Little Feat Sailin' Shoes Dixie Chicken Feats Don't Fail Me Now

I'd configure and commission all those flat panels with illuminated buttons that do important things. Probably working in a shipyard most of the time, with occasional travel

you are not safe with me, I will stare you down as I eat the last slice of pizza

A favorite movie in animated .gif form

My grandpa S. was briefly Milwaukee's deputy coroner, a do-very-little political patronage gig he inherited from my great-grandpa S. It was the last gasp of a German Lutheran old boys' network. The whole office was eliminated and replaced with a county-level professional department.

I got dunked on by some cool kids for barging in someone's thread and claiming that homemade butter is always going to be better than Kerrygold. Granted, I was splainy and posted without learning the local culture so I had it coming.

Ignoring that top floor bathroom, all this residential gray-and-whitification has got to stop. Soon, please. Is there an interior decorating version of Derek Guy in this place, full of arch opinions on dumb trends? There's got to be. Point me to the account, somebody. Thanks.

I've been waiting a couple weeks to show this to the bugge finder @apsciencebydan.bsky.social
