I worked one day at a solar panel company that claimed that it was formed by the same man who started Eckerd drugs, but in fact was created by a guy named Eckerd. I was fired for not sticking to the telemarketer script, & tell them how much it would really cost them, not including construction

There is only one rock n roll song and it's Bo Diddley by Bo Diddley. Every other piece of Rock music is just further iterating on Bo Diddley.

Election Day is a Monday and a federal holiday. All citizens are auto-registered.

OK just because I'm interested in your honest, not shitpost, thoughts on this: if you could write a new US Constitution, what would you put in it?

Honestly compels me to tell you that this photo was taken more than a decade ago. Current photo below.

"Extract the oil" from your synthetic clothing's ashes, that's like "make a tree" (and cotton) out of paper ashes. But yes.

the price of oil surging means you can burn your shein clothes, extract the oil, and make more money than you paid

This is why The Bear is not a comedy to me.

Your yearly reminder that “holiday” celebrations that only include Christian traditions are not, in fact, inclusive even if you don’t use the word Christmas, so tbh I’d rather you just say it’s Christmas.

Until a few years ago, ugly holiday sweaters didn’t exist. They’re ugly Christmas sweaters, with some generic Jewish iconography to be “inclusive.” But the truth is, when I have to buy one to wear to a work party, I feel like I’m in another culture’s drag.

Gail has the best shenanigans ever. She'll probably knit you one too, if you send her the wool. Each shenanigan takes her a dozen fortnights if it's the whole nine yards. Mine fits like an iron fist.

People on Threads are still mad at my harmless shenanigans and it's kind of remarkable.

Oddly enough, we did have amendments to the constitution around these times; & maybe we didn't do enough of these things, but we very much did pass 2 amendments re voting & other civil rights after the Civil War

same, also I do like Forbidden Planet (1956) better than Percy Stow's The Tempest (1908)

His Girl Friday. The Maltese Falcon (but not, admittedly, The Maltese Bippy). I like the original Scarface best, but way more people prefer the DePalma remake, same goes for The Thing.

How did this kind of smart, walkable, mixed-use urbanism become illegal to build in most American cities?

“Americans did not choose car dependency. We didn’t vote for it, and it was not the winner in a free market competition. The real answer is complex, but a single turning point reveals an essential part of the story.” www.planetizen.com/features/132...

Brunch is the manifestation of sloth, of eating the first meal of the day with a mindful mindlessness and no consideration for deadlines. It is always a good time for brunch.

Brenna Ehrlich@brennaehrlich.bsky.social

An important part of growing up is realizing that brunch at 2pm is insane. It's obviously supposed to be at 10 or 11. Not breakfast, not lunch, something in between. Anything later is sloth.
