Other than some outdated textbooks, I always pass my unwanted books along, rather than dumping them in the trash or recycling. About ten years ago, I made an exception for Scott Adams.

I take a small amount of comfort from the fact that while I know who this is about, I don't know (and don't want to know) any of the specifics.

Happy New Year and hope you all celebrated last night like an evangelical Christian whose husband was just assassinated

One of my low-key hobbies is collecting cheap One Sheets and Lobby Cards for movies I've seen on MST3K. (emphasis on the cheap) I picked some beauties up at an antique show this weekend. First: The Killer Shrews! I guess the dogs covered in carpets didn't photograph well. #MST3K

Finally, a One Sheet poster for 1969's Academy Award Winning (for best visual effects) Marooned, aka Space Travelers when it received the MST3K treatment. All of these people had prime roles in 70s disaster films in their futures. #MST3K

I was 24 in 1989. IIRC, I had gone retro and was listening to "Who's Next" and the like for a couple of years.

People need to stop retconning literally the worst era in American popular music history into something it wasn't, just because there were also some amazing records that like 250 people happened to be hunting down and listening to

Centrist Dems would rather attract eight Republican voters and still lose, when they could move their policies about fifteen inches to the left and bring hundreds of thousands of disaffected voters to the polls and win. Billionaire money. It's a drug.

Truth. My relatives who had dairy cows kept a pasteurizer on their counter. It was about the size of a crock pot.

When people say "We used to drink raw milk from our own cow and it was fine," That's... usually not the case! In families w their own cow, the mom usually boiled it before using. We just forgot bc that's a boring chore that mom did. And who pays attention to that? youtu.be/vKDPast9WFk
