The owner of this business is a old, wonderful friend & a former employer of mine, so please, I need all of my Pacific Northwest followers keeping an eye out for this stuff, especially if you run in nerd circles, so that his dream business, built via decades of grinding, can keep running.
KIRO 7 ran an article and two TV pieces on the theft of a box truck full of arcade PCBs, artwork, and machines from my workplace yesterday. If anyone in the Seattle area sees someone offloading a ton of CPS2/NAOMI/Neo Geo PCBs, stuff of that nature, please reach out.

Syphillis used to be so common and so destructive it would just destroy soft tissue on the face (and hands/feet), so people could AND DID form No Nose clubs so that they had a group of friends they could hang out with and just exist before it sent them into dementia and a horrible death.
have you ever felt like public health is an overreach? do me a favor and look up tertiary syphilis or, alternately, the concept of "shitting yourself to death", which used to be something that happened with medium regularity

What's happening with ICE in Chicagoland today:
Federal agents continue terrorizing Back of the Yards, Broadview mayor and police chief held a presser, and neighbors in South Shore late night were startled awake by a raid on an apartment with stun grenades.
