We cruising around tonight jumping ai “artists” hop in

@AmazingAnndroid thats what its called???? very annoying

Do any of you have lyric deafness? I recently learned about the term and I think it accurately reflects my experience with music

That bag has a name. It's a bindle. And in the 1930s, about 250,000 American teenagers actually packed one and walked out the door to ride freight trains, looking for work after the crash wiped out their families' savings. They were called boxcar boys and girls. Many were just 16 or 17. They left because there was no food at home, or because they didn't want to be another mouth their parents couldn't feed. One boy left home with the 72 cents his mother pulled from her purse, the last of her money. About 4 million Americans were on the road in those years. The cartoon image we know traces back to two artists. Charlie Chaplin's Tramp character, the little guy in baggy pants with a stick, debuted in 1914. He became a global icon. Walt Disney later said Chaplin was one of the inspirations for Mickey Mouse. Then in 1958, Norman Rockwell painted a runaway boy carrying a bindle for the Saturday Evening Post cover. That picture is the one that stuck in our heads. The actual life behind the bag was hard. People who lived it called themselves hobos, and they were strict about the word. A hobo was a worker who traveled. A tramp only worked when he had to. A bum didn't work at all. Hobos hated being mixed up with the other two. They followed the harvests. Strawberries in spring, hops in summer, apples in fall, potatoes in winter. Pay was a few dollars a day, sometimes less. Riding freight trains was illegal and could kill you. Railroad police, who they called bulls, beat them off the cars. You could slip and get crushed between cars. Or freeze to death sleeping in a boxcar in winter. A British poet named W.H. Davies, who wrote a memoir called The Autobiography of a Super-Tramp, lost his foot trying to jump onto a moving train. So they built their own world. Their camps near rail yards were called jungles. They shared a stew called Mulligan, where everyone threw in a potato, or a piece of meat, or whatever they had. They left messages for each other on water tanks: a nickname, a date, and the direction they were heading, so the next person passing through could see who had been there. They had a phrase for someone who died on the road. He caught the Westbound. In 1900, a town in Iowa called Britt, with about 2,000 people, decided to host them. Every August since, hobos and rail riders show up to crown a Hobo King and Queen, with crowns made from coffee cans. The convention is still running. There's a Hobo Memorial Cemetery in Britt for the ones who caught the Westbound. The cartoon turned it into a childhood dream. For a quarter-million American kids in the 1930s, it was just the bag you grabbed before walking out the door.

Guy is a pedophile and they are describing him in the article as a “loving father and grandfather who would do anything for his family”.

James Baldwin said it in 1965 and it has not aged a single day: The reason Americans cannot face their history is that the history indicts their identity. And you cannot ask someone to accept the evidence that destroys who they think they are. White Americans, he said, need the Black American to remain inferior, because their own superiority is the only thing that makes sense of a country built on those terms. The same structure applies outward. Americans need the rest of the world to remain in need of American guidance, American intervention, American rescue. Because without that story, what exactly was all the violence for? The empire doesn't just extract resources. It extracts meaning. And the people who built their inner lives on that meaning will fight as hard to keep it as any general ever fought to keep territory. Harder, maybe. You can negotiate territory. You cannot negotiate with someone's need to believe they are one of the good ones.

The United States literally created Labor Day as a separate holiday because they felt like May Day was too closely associated with radical left politics.

@_atomstoadams_ hes definitely outspoken about being a christian, its tough to know if hes in line with American Christianity and its horrors or just someone who chooses to interact with the Christian system bc it makes him feel better

Someone tried calling ace aura Christian EDM and that’s just wild

@TrifGaming im outta the loop but surely its not stronger than firewall gumblar shenanigans

Kewl Tune is the BEST going 1st deck in the HISTORY of yugioh. Number 1. Not recency bias. Not bias because I only play KT. Not bias because of my Masterclass dropping May 7th on Metafy. Not bias because I will win Nats with it. It’s just simply the GOAT BEST going 1st deck in the history of this game. I choose going 1st with Kewl Tune over every toxic broken deck we’ve ever had

I remember being breathless reading that many of the people on the trains to the concentration camps thought the rumors in the ghettos of the gas chambers and forced slavery in the camps were lies up until the MOMENT they arrived

that moment when you burst into tears in your room and you realize that no one knows how unhappy you are

@lareezymusic everyone tryna be melon

what made people so critical on music? like what happened to just liking a song and continuing the day, it just seems like everything is so graded and over critiqued.

It’s obvious why “they’re” not publicizing this. Remember his name. Guido Reichstadtler. His statement: “The most they can do is kill you and then they have your dead body… they dont have your obedience…” “we have an urgent moral responsibility to resist, nonviolently.”

man if u catch me (or any depressed person im ngl) cooking wholeass proper food in a depressive episode im probably on some last supper shit u need to call the suicide hotline not look at me w fuckin heart eyes

Talkinggg // People only care when you’re dead. They don’t even care if you were close to death. They don’t care if horrible things beyond comprehension happened to you and don’t dare make anyone uncomfortable or you’re the real problem.

@postjaydenn people lack a real sense of sonder these days

Earl Sweatshirt could 100% NOT ever make LP 😭 why can’t we come to the realization and agreement Earl could never do anything JPEG does and JPEG couldn’t do what Earl does some of u need to stop dickriding I’m ngl

Spirit was a fine airline. People being too stupid to read and understand what they where offering was the problem. All of those people buying a $40 ticket and expecting first class service for it like lol. But if you just wanted to go somewhere, they'd get you there.

People don't even realize that they are repeating Regan era propaganda. When they relate min wage to being specifically for teens or "starter" jobs, rather than a standard wage for living.

I haven't seen anyone tracking all of the alleged (or open) Trump corruption, self-dealing, and quid pro quos in one place. For the last 15 months, I've been tracking every single tip+story I can find and organizing it. Today, I published a 6,000 word piece with every example.

i regret to inform everybody that James Broadnax has been executed by the state of Texas for a crime that DNA and confession evidence proves he did not commit. his trial was tainted with racial bias at every step. please watch his documentary. 🔗: youtu.be/2S0ocdkw9OM
