Go out and get a bike and a shotgun. Don’t let your dreams be dreams.

The book 11/22/63 by Stephen King had a great scene about the Cuban Missile Crisis that I thought was amazing at humanizing the whole situation.

Before reading that scene, the Cuban Missile Crisis was a short blip in my highschool history book. I had a vague idea that the Russians were moving nukes to Cuba and the US said that would be crossing a line in the sand which they would consider a nuclear attack. But that was it.

The scene from the book tells it from a family’s perspective going through all the fear and uncertainty that the average person was feeling. People were absolutely convinced that the world was ending. It’s worth a read.

Because Infowars’ assets are still tied up in the courts, Jones has been allowed to continue broadcasting his shows and hawking merchandise from Infowars’ Austin studio.

Well that’s infuriating. Also bonus points for the AP trying to stay neutral and then throwing in the word “hawking”.

Thanks, everything I had seen before was just a video of people running after hearing gunshots.

Can you please post a link to the video?

Going on OAN and calling Fox News right wing propaganda is peak irony.

Right one is great! Left, not so much. Goddamn 40s.

Dookie was one of the first CDs I ever got. Must’ve listened to that a million times. Great album.

What the fuck

I’ve got 30 hours into it and haven’t finished it yet. I feel like it’s got a decent amount of gameplay so far. Plus I am already planning a replay once with different party members. I’ve also heard the story is better in the 2nd playthrough (you don’t really figure out wtf is going on until pretty far into the game). Definitely worth checking out, especially if you have Gamepass.

Estimates say there may be have been dozens or more protestors.

Highly recommend Expedition 33. The game play is exactly what I’ve been looking for in a game, and the story and world are both amazing.

Huh weird. I’ve got an account on .world and if I use that with Sync, posts don’t show get marked as read for me. Wonder what I’m doing wrong.

Good call. I’ll ask my boss to mail me the puzzle.

I love puzzles, but I’d hard pass on a puzzle of my boss’s junk.

I read one of his short stories recently that followed one of the characters whose child died in Cujo. I love the idea of Stephen King completely forgetting he wrote that book and having to go back and read it to come up with characters for his later stories. Do you suppose while reading he was like “Damn this book is great, I wonder what’ll happen next?”

Plus, Trump tweets in all caps. Not because he’s angry all the time, but because he’s old and that’s the only way he can read the characters as he types them.

Exactly. It’s just an insult to them.

A while back, one of my Trumper neighbors decided that she didn’t use an elliptical work-out machine that she had bought over 2 years prior. She took it back to the store without a receipt and demanded that they give her money for it - not just store credit - even though it was well past the return date.

When telling me this story, she acknowledged her crazy behavior by saying “haha I was acting like such a liberal.”

In her mind, it’s as simple as “liberal = bad”. The actual definitions of words mean nothing to them.

The Herman Cain Award was the only thing that got me through COVID.
