here in the Boston area, SB's strategy seems to be new stores at malls or on the highway, using drive thru as the main way to serve customers
McDonalds style
But at least the SB Baristas work; Cafe Nero, the main chain competitor in Boston, hires people based on how slowly they work
If twitter was malfunctioning like this, every single person on bluesky would be posting about how the idiot Elon had destroyed the site
If you actually cared about this country, you, and KY Gov Beshear, and others, would STOP working on the 2028 race and focus on midterms instead
but, apparently, you all value your egos more
so piss off
what a worthless substack post,
this is like the 20th paragraph, and even this is weak sauce
why the fuck doesn't the author start with
"Eight children gunned down; the GOP and NRA and SCOTUS are *directly responsible for these murders"
Astonishing how you, and every other liberal on bluesky, is willing to toss the bill of rights, those "technicalities*" out the window when it suits you
piss off
*"technicality" is what the right wing use to call the bill of rights, or Miranda warnings, back in the 1970s and 80s, maybe still do
I loath this sort of snarky post, it is so fucking trite, but what is really bad is you don't offer any ideas for what to do
LIKE
Given the laws in CA, VA, and Texas, is it possible that a ref was required in CA/VA, but not in TX, or even that a ref was not possible in time frame in TX ?
Given how red TX is, is there any reason to think a ref would have failed ?
@katz.theracket.news
read the *third paragraph* then apologize for your shit posts
PSA: almost invariably, people like J Katz, who make a living dissing the NYT (really, Katz should pay the Times a fee) are almost always wrong
every day
ok, venting is good
now, how about some concrete ideas on what to do ?
LIKE:
iirc, in the second novel in this series
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/His_Dar...
the armored bear obsesses over a knife
They think you're stupid.
Like you, I am astonished that a hollywood bio pic might not mention the darker side of the subject's life
after all, isn't tinsel town all about reality and gritty ?
well, if Saudi say 1,000 drones, half from inside Iraq, well, their word is good enough for me; no doubts do I have, no sirree
Page 42 of 3 Novels by Harriet B Stowe (Library of America ed)
after the 1st sentence is a song chorus
"Die on the field of battle,
Die on the field of battle,
Glory in my soul."
The 2nd proper sentence is
"another special favorite had oft repeated the word---"
(no period, just a long dash)
note also the very $ house just visible in the 1st photo , and the lack of noise barrier along the highway
kind of stunning that the state/US reps for newton haven't done anything to get funding for noise barriers, and that the affluent citizenry doesn't act
does anyone still watch network TV ?
my kids, in their late 20s, don't ever, except for Colbert
I personally never watch, but when I channel flip, it seems like most of network TV is some sort of pro trump cop propaganda like, iirc, "FBI" or shows like tht
Just Me
I read one Reacher book, and it was so grotesquely violent, with much of the violence really savage sexual violence, that I didn't even finish it
I honestly don't get the appeal of books where women are treated like that
Please use the hashtag #YATL * when reporting what the orange haired one says, as I don't need to see anything more from him, just me
* YATL = yet another trump lie
you know I gotta say this
You sure you aren't Italian ?
:)
my birthday is soon, and a very nice present would be if all the people who repost Trump "truths" used a hashtag like #YATL (yet another trump lie)
cause just me, I don't need or want to see any more posts about the orange haired one's crazy social media
Just Me
nothing irritates me more then the incredible arrogance of my Canadian neighbors, when they deign to talk about US politics
Truly, they must be almost angelic up their in the frozen north, rarely if ever doing anything wrong
I shudder to think of the jigsaw puzzles that might be made .
:)
Given that FIFA knelt before the orange haired fascist, no person with any integrity would go to world cup; they would boycott instead
so fuck all these fans, they are getting wht they deserve
This is such total crap, truly you are embarrassing your self
WC costs:
Thousands of dollars or euros for airfare, hotel
a few hundred for train tickets
why can't any of you newsmedia people ever ever do math
Just for the record
iirc, in the early oughts, after his marriage to the Heinz lady, he had an ENORMOUS yacht (ahem, climate change) that he tried to register in Rhode Island, instead of his home state of MA
got caught, made the front page of the @bostonglobe.com which was still a newspaper then
The two old parties are morally bankrupt. The Henry Wallace Party is obviously a Communist tool. The organized Jew now dictates our domestic and foreign policies. The Negro vote in the slums of our great cities is more influential in all existing parties than the combin- Because of these and numerous related facts, the time Nationalist Party dedicated to Christian ideals, American tradition and racial self-respect. I therefore call on like-minded citizens to gather with me at St. Louis, Missouri, August 20 and 21, 1948. The purpose of this gathering will be to organize a Convention which will lay the foundation of a political structure that will eventually fulfill in the life of our communi-ties, our states and our Nation the ideals expressed in the ten high principles of this Crusade.
American Groyperism ca. 1948.
Could also be Tucker Carlsonism ca. 1948, though it's slightly more mask off than Tucker currently is.
I think if you follow the great @sethcotlar.bsky.social you will see tht this rot has been seeping into the GOP for decades now, at least in Oregon
:)
don't know why I just thought of this, but iirc in the 1980s the city of St Louis, in Moussori USA, had the distinction of being the largest exporter of used brick in the world
:)
our heritage, so fragile, so much being lost
