New party schtick: choose someone at random and ask them if they are familiar with "The Sacroiliad."

Then tell a long-winded, epic tale of your chronic low-back pain.

Brian Jonestown Massacre, that is. Less starvation, more kool-aid. OK, back to drinking tea.

Compelling!

I saw the Dears open for the Brian Jamestown Massacre and was blown away. This would have been twenty-odd years ago, I'm estimating, during the No Cities Left era (ahhhh, The Death of All the Romance!) Time to tune back in.

Not sure if BlueSky is good for this kind of thing anymore, but do I know anyone on here who did an MLIS degree or similar at UMD?

As the president and his pet billionaire sat in a swasticar on the White House lawn yesterday, I imagined the cozy couple taking to the open road, the greatest American tradition, a modern-day Thelma & Louise.

I would like the president to instead consider a career as a florist, at a shop with high shelves so the flowers can be closer to the sunshine. Then he can push the daisies up there every day.

The next time the president goes to a diner, I'd like him to be seated in the John Wilkes Booth.

If 0.015 is "big" to Donald #Trump, well, that explains some things.

The land area of Seattle is 53,113 acres (www.seattle.gov/opcd/populat...).

Protestors took over 0.015% of the city.

12.09.2024 22:21 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

The protestors occupied part of the Capitol Hill neighborhood, ranging from 2-6 city blocks over the course of the 23-day protest. A city block downtown averages 1.3 acres (www.theurbanist.org/2024/01/19/t...), so to be generous, the protestors "took over" roughly 8 acres of the city.

For those of you who inexplicably believe #Trump is capable of occupying the same reality as human beings, let's fact-check one of his goofiest assertions from the debate on Tuesday: that protestors "took over a big percentage of #Seattle" during the George Floyd protests of 2020.
