This looks cool and good, but no one agrees on who "the rich" are. People who live in California, young people with dyed hair, college professors, Jewish people, these can all be "the rich" while the family that owns 40% of all retail space in town goes unnoticed and unremarked upon.

This is the only one of these I've seen that gets it right (Birmingham exerts its natural right to rule as a capital and claims suzerainty over "West Florida")

In this Age of Slop, do yourself a favor a read something stuffed to the gills with thought, purpose, and intention!

Ah damn RIP to the Great Kaiser. He signed my library’s copy of his memoir, The Masked Tenor. He’d wear outrageous wrestler clothes out and about doing his grocery shopping at the Piggly Wiggly and would always stop and bend your ear with a story when you said hello. You’ll be missed, Sam

oh my god Book of the New Sun had Amano covers in Japan and they're fucking crazy

I love the expression "naked as a jaybird." Gotta wonder what the jaybird did to earn its reputation as the nudest of birds

And my wife couldn't breast feed, so our daughter came up entirely on formula and now she's a bright, happy, healthy eight year old. Another redundant flub by God!

Who gives a shit?

Glad to see people talking about Penn Jillette. The 2024 interview was done by me. I found him to be a refreshingly reflective, self-critical individual who has remained curious and willing to evolve.

The missus got my ass in 4k, this is exactly the energy I bring when I read a cool paper about a new therapsid discovery

Go to it esnupi go to it

What Have We Learned, Charlie Brown (Full 1996 VHS) : 871s

In the cosmology of Boondock Saints, Irish Catholic God and Italian Catholic God are two different gods who contest for supremacy in Boston, not unlike Yahweh and Ba'al contesting Canaan.

This refrigerator would go crazy as fuck stocked with Michelob Ultras in a garage with a Dodge Prowler parked in it

My Hoosier grandfather took me to an IU football game in the 90s to encourage me to be a fan. They lost 33-0. This one's for you, Merritt.

So that Beach Boys Kokomo song came out in July 1988 and by November Phil Collins had written a song for the Four Tops called “Loco in Acapulco” and follow the fucking money folks release the files

I love that Mass Effect 2 begins with your character dying then becoming a Frankenstein. Greatest RPG in da world

The greatest (and only) Theodore Sturgeon movie

If you made an updated reboot of the B-52s today they would be a pastiche of Great War on Terror era fashion. But you could still call it “the B-52s”

I would pay $600 for such a luxury

If you made an updated reboot of Christine today, Christine would be a 2000 Dodge Stratus

The shooting script for the Wizard of Oz has the ultimate "that's a problem for future-me"

Incredible: Scientists announce discovery of dinosaur fossilized while saying "Eh, it's a living!"

A BOOK IS NOT O̲L̲D̲ IF YOU HAVEN'T READ IT! Rent-More Book Jacket Co. speaks to my soul.

It's giving American Psycho

when the AI bubble bursts and we have hundreds of extra GWs of capacity on the grid, power will then be too cheap to meter and the hall–héroult process will be essentially free. i propose spinning up the aluminum industry and providing a weekly ration of aluminum billets to all americans

Stranger Things spoiler: The thing that's coming to eat their town is,,,. The freakin NINETIES!

I read Game of Thrones a few years before the show came out, and because all the Stark kids were literal children, I imagined everyone as anime characters. The Starks are Gundam Wing I guess is what I'm saying

The first person we meet on Past Lives is Nanaya'ila'i, an Elamite woman from southwestern Iran who was enslaved around 645 BC by the Assyrians in one of their last campaigns of conquest. What can we know about her life? How did she experience the sharp end of empire? www.patreon.com/posts/nanaya...

Man I forgot about the art-nü-metal end credits song on Mass Effect 1 this rules lol

One of the libraries in my system offers notary services and posts congratulations whenever people get their marriage certificates notarized there. Pretty damn wholesome!

Oh fuck, the paleontologists have discovered pick up artistry

Last night I fell asleep listening to Gentle Giant's The Power and the Glory and I woke up with all hit points and magic points restored

Philip Clark on Steely Dan’s quest for studio perfection

Not the same situation, but library patrons asking "What are you reading right now?" I used to hedge but now I'll just straight up tell them about some paleontology monograph or New Wave science fiction paperback that's been out of print for forty years and watch the light fade from their eyes

"I just think trans people should be bullied out of public life, but I'm saying it nicely so the trans people look like the crazy ones"

What’s wild to me is that even in like 1250 AD, when the university was almost purely an institution of church training, “because God says so” would have still gotten you laughed out of the room in any subject. You gotta show more work than that.

something that's wild about this on top of uh, everything here: The theme song for the Franklin cartoon was written by Bruce Cockburn. One of his most famous songs is about wanting to shoot down the helicopters of a far-right regime in Guatemala www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPqP...

The typo for Alabama briefly made me wonder if it was the right one and then I saw the billboard

You’re hearing it more and more!!

Very easily. Every person in there is miserable and doing an impression of what they think is a cool and self-actualized person looks like. It must feel like being surrounded by ghosts

Through God, all things are possible (getting my professor in trouble for grading my dogshit essay appropriately)

Epcot being the last gasp of the utopian communal settlements that were all over the US from the 19th century onward feels like a metaphor for something. not sure what, exactly, but i'll figure it out

You can just buy party crackers and party cheese for yourself. They can’t stop you
