My first car was an ‘83 Nova! When they looked like a Ford Fiesta 😆

Threw a piston out the engine on the highway after I couldn’t keep enough oil in it fast enough, on the way home from work, about 1999 😆

#mayofacts Heinz did not know when making a mayo and ketchup mixture in a bottle that mayochup in Cree (the most widely spoken indigenous language in Canada) translates to "shit face." boingboing.net/2019/05/23/i...

In Cree, Heinz new 'MayoChup' translates poorly

Ancient death rays, the robotic horses of the Canterbury Tales, and that time Socrates used a mirror to evict some unwanted dragons - in today's newsletter, I'm looking at how reflective objects played a part in imagining our way towards modern drone technology:

The Three Dreams You Need to Make a Drone: Death Rays, Brass Horses, and Dragon-Surprising Mirrors

There is something creepy about mirrors, an otherworldly and fascinating quality that writers and thinkers have returned to repeatedly throughout the ages. When I was about four, my grandmother, a sc...

No, you just pay attention to real life experiences of people who are NOT you, without arguing with them. Reading is possible if those people are no longer alive. Libraries are free.

Or Google. Even easier.

That is not too much for you to be expected to be capable of doing, Adult.

Now argue.

My god, this picture of Gregory Bovino, the CBP leader who now has to check in w a fed judge in Chicago each day to confirm he has not tear gassed any more children?

Naked Nazi iconography, of the guy who Miller and Lewandowski keep unleashing on our streets.

Bovino,
Wearing what looks like the black leather outfit of many a Nazi in a movie.

Why would the ruling party that won’t relinquish power ever again care about outcomes for the peasants?

They don’t face consequences.

They deport dissent.

You mean the tools who are starting 374,939 LLM firms, this week, pitching to other fools who think a stock market is an economy.

Wait till the Covid hospitalizations overrun us bc of no access to vaccines for school kids.

…& we are all STILL told to appreciate the good fortune of the Opportunity to Go Shopping for medical care, again, and STILL be accosted at the door by the billing department before we leave, while insured.

Make sure to find the photos of the fools peeing themselves while pissed grandmas yell at them in public, while they wear riot gear like the big men they are, to kidnap children.

Good Ole Boy forgot to hide how much he loves attempting to physically intimidate women who tell him No, instantly.

Not even smart enough to remember the camera.

They really don’t have time in between shifts, anymore.

B E Smith @bethbug74.bsky.social · 17h

Gotta say, I do not have a ton of hope that they’ll notice that in between repeating whatever spin they’ve been fed about it, by then, while also denying it.

We’ve been groomed to SEEK abusers as authority figures and to defend and prop them up, no matter what, for generations.

Hunger isn’t new.

The most disturbing thing about SNAP ending on November 1st and healthcare premiums increasing is that there are many people it will affect who have no clue as to what's going on.

These are the types who say: "I'm not into politics."

Well, politics are definitely into YOU.🔥☕️

The Late Bronze Age collapse plunged the Eastern Mediterranean and Near East into a period of chaos and starvation, but 300 hundred years later, the region emerged stronger and more prosperous than ever. Could the same thing happen here in the United States?
