@ScottMGreer Remember when he suggested people struggling to afford expensive modern cars should buy an old Model T as a daily driver and maintain it themselves?

@Shpow @kisstheblade_ Roald Dahl stories don’t inherently entail a merging of 1950s and 1990s aesthetics.

You know, it's been forever since I watched these movies and it didn't strike me as weird at the time, but why the fuck is Dudley wearing an old-timey fancy boy straw hat.

Completely different vibe with the Dursleys now compared to the Dursleys back then.

@nomenpluralis @kisstheblade_ I know, the sort of merging of different eras is really unique. Mouse Hunt (1997) is another great example. Like in this shot, half the reporters are carrying a mix of modern TV and film cameras, the other half have really old fashioned bulky press cameras.

@AmericanLizard @kisstheblade_ I kind of like that *what on earth era is it* vibe in some things, like the series of unfortunate events books

@GigglingGanon Stupid people ask if this is AI. There's no hope for you lot.

Imagine sitting in this class waiting for the professor to arrive only instead to see this girl take center stage in front of the class having this Benson level rage crashout. 😂
Completely unhinged and hilarious. 😁

@PenguinSix This spot at that intersection seems to match up most closely with the exterior mockup they posted @PoPville

There is already a Google Map hit for "The Situation Room" downtown at 12th and I Street NW, but not sure if that is where this will be located.

Polymarket is opening the "Situation Room" physical location this Friday in Washington DC to drink, eat, and "predict" things. @polymarket/note/c-229630772" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">substack.com/@polymarket/no…

@avidseries If 10% of middle class white collar workers are in danger of losing their homes they will stage a revolution to prevent that from happening.

@SydSteyerhart Just because the "bloody frontier" is gritty and cool doesn't make it the representative story of America.
English
Blood Meridian is the true great American novel, not Moby Dick. The future will recognize it. America is a story and a people of the bloody frontier, not whaling boats out of New Bedford.
Matt Walsh@MattWalshBlog
Reading Blood Meridian. I wonder if there will ever be an author like Cormac McCarthy again, or if we’ve seen the last of the truly great writers. Every sentence he composes is art, like a painting. You see and feel what he’s trying to convey. He wrestles with big things, the human condition, good and evil. He doesn’t give you answers but he leaves you with a lot to think about. An absolute master of his craft. Not the last, I hope, but I don’t know.

@rfkenmore @tevye_tradition Mercer & Sons shirts are terrific. Pricy, but not $310... that's just punishing yourself

@tevye_tradition Haven't actually worn Wythe. Never liked the vibe of that place personally

Gitman Vintage just put out an "Ultralight" version of their classic Oxford Shirt
and it's.... $310
I don't know the internals at that brand, but I struggle to understand what they're doing
Product keeps getting more and more expensive, while there has been no meaningful newness or improvement reflected in the assortment

@foster_type They shouldn't have even needed to make a call to figure out this made no sense. If $15 million was going entirely toward steaks for Hegseth in one month, that would mean each steak costs $170,000 if he was eating a steak three meals a day every day.
English
I'm not easy to surprise on this stuff but I'm genuinely surprised how far the libs went with this one without even making one phone call or reading one additional tweet. Is this stuff because they are all on Bluesky now?
Alex Christy@alexchristy17
Seth Meyers (with the help of a Jen Psaki clip) joins Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert in not knowing about military surf and turf meals, "They spent $15 million on steak in one month. Who are you? Sterling Cooper Draper and Pryce? If you're gonna eat that much steak, you better have come up with a new campaign for lucky strike. No wonder Hegseth always looks miserable. He's 24/7 meat constipated. That's the face of a man war fighting with his colon." (1/2)

There are young people out there that think the top picture was from the 90s or something.
No, kids, that was as recently as 2010.

@BigSnugALot @JTAlexander_ Where's the lie? And I know you're upset.
English
@AmericanLizard @JTAlexander_ You think I’m upset so you started lying?
English
@BigSnugALot @JTAlexander_ I'm just matching your energy. You're the one who seems very upset at someone calling prepared food a basic product.
English
@AmericanLizard @JTAlexander_ I like how you’re just making shit up to get mad at
English
@BigSnugALot @JTAlexander_ You're so right! We can only judge whether goods are basic based on consumer preferences from 1900, for some reason. Sugar, barley, lye, and kerosene, are really the only products where inflation is a big deal.
English
@BigSnugALot @JTAlexander_ Eh I consider something that virtually every American consumes in a given week to be a basic good on some level. When it 5x in price, it affects everyone.
English
@AmericanLizard @JTAlexander_ Food prepared by others is not a “basic product.”

@willmcp2 @BasedDepartmint The scariest thing is that the people actually have some sway in our politics
English
@JoosyJew It genuinely is breaking these people that they can't produce evidence of Israel getting wrecked by Iranian missiles, that's why you're getting desperate cope like this. They're deeply invested in the notion that Iran is secretly winning this, wiping out US bases, etc.

Mario is a snake. He’s deleted, but he’s just another successful grifter riding the wave of chaos and lies.
The idea that 10m people in Israel, including 2m Arabs, have all agreed to not share footage from inside Israel is as mad as the people who share and believe this trash.

@LisaA311 @Frederick2223__ @empanangropriv Lol so your position is, "I don't want to believe the low U.S. casualty numbers are accurate; instead I'm choosing to trust random videos from bot accounts of ships blowing up that I have even less reason to believe are real."
