@JayGenXer Liquor stores were another sanctuary. I guess all the alcohol killed the virus.

FACTS we lived by 🤦🏻‍♂️

@HistorylandHQ It was an odd era to be at the beach. Some still dressed formally for the beach, men in full business suits, women in all their finery.

The crowded beach of Atlantic City, photographed in 1908. (New Jersey).

@TheOldHollywood Screw Pancakes House. The Lakeside Club, the kind of place you could get a shot and a beer...

"He was kinda funny lookin'." Marge Gunderson (Frances McDormand) interviews an interesting pair (Larissa Kokernot and Melissa Peterman) in Fargo (1996)

@historydefined The girls are just egging these daredevils on.

A 1975 Big Wheel commercial.

@mrwtffacts She obviously never had time to read Middlemarch by George Eliot.

In 2018, an Arizona woman was arrested after texting a man 159,000 times over 10 months following just one date. That’s about 530 texts a day.

@allie__voss “Less maintenance on a new car” is how they will justify it but they don’t seem to grasp that if you are not paying the $700/mo note, you will save enough money to overhaul the whole damn car and still have plenty of money left over.

People hate on Dave Ramsey but honestly he's the best advice for a lot of people It's oversimplified if you're financially stable, but otherwise most people genuinely just need to hear "DO NOT BUY A NEW CAR"

@shepmjs The only ones still watching the Oscars are those old enough to have watched them when “One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest” won for best picture.

Self-inflicted death by wokeness

@sumitkbehal Only thing I would change is to move the arguments to the middle of the week. I would prefer peace and quiet on my weekends.

Jeffrey Epstein was so locked in that he told his girlfriend not to have any arguments with him from Monday to Friday The following rules are mentioned below - No bitching over her friends - Read one book every month - Do exercise four times per week

@BuckeyeFanatic0 @TheNameofWar It should be a crime to wear socks with Sperry Topsiders.

@TheNameofWar Is it Low cut OG Duck Boots for the win or the Sperry Topsiders?

Secret Service agents responding to the Augusta National Golf Course incident where an armed man took hostages and demanded to speak to President Reagan, Oct. 23, 1983.

@JMcNallyBooks Before Kindles and Kindle apps on smartphones, there were pocket paperbacks. My father never left the house without a paperback stuffed into his back pocket. He hated to be bored.

Quintessential 1970s mass market paperbacks.

@felixanthonie @AmericaPapaBear No, it is not legal. Hence the ski mask.

@AmericaPapaBear Is this legal ?

MUST SEE: Masked man throws 100 green paper airplanes from high-rise balcony over downtown Chicago! It really is the simple things in life, isn't it?

@ThatEricAlper Kid in the back reaching for the top shelf is about to trigger a "Cleanup in aisle 15" alert over the loudspeaker.

A grocery store in the 1980s. All glass bottles, no plastic.

@Tekeee I have $1,000 available but I want everybody in my personal life, especially the moochers, to think that I don't.

Don’t let social media fool you 8 out of 10 people don’t have $1,000 available.

Conservative accounts will suffer the most with a dislike button. This is because Leftists have no tolerance whatsoever for dissenting opinions and they have the negative energy (driven by hatred) to spend inordinate amounts of time spamming conservative accounts with dislikes in attempts to discredit and mute their opinions, as well as discourage them from posting their opinions in the first place.

My concern about a "dislike" button is that it will make talking anything controversial more difficult. People will get their accounts nuked with organized groups that run thousands of dislikes. Leftists will target someone like Nick Shirley who is exposing fraud.

@freegrazer1 @unlimited_ls This is the big issue I have with liberal thinking with regard to criminals. They want to be soft with career criminals until they actually murder somebody. Why do we have to wait until somebody is murdered to lock career criminals up for life?

@unlimited_ls I’m all for harsh prison sentences, but without a death in this case I believe 25 is over the top. Somewhere around 10-15 years seems proper.

NEW: Texas judge GOES OFF on 18-year-old man while sentencing him to 25 years in prison for a violent convenience store robbery "You apparently like to fight and jump people... you can't even follow the rules in jail..." Caden James Fontenette was sentenced to 25 years in prison after pleading guilty to aggravated robbery Police said Fontenette and two others robbed the Bulldog Express convenience store in October 2025 Investigators say the suspects used a firearm during the robbery and assaulted a store clerk Surveillance video showed one suspect holding a rifle and striking the clerk. All three suspects were arrested the same day Fontenette will be eligible for parole after serving half of his 25-year sentence

@MikeBales In first grade, I mistook this for a urinal, to my immediate embarrassment.

@Brink_Thinker How much did people pay to have snakebites treated back in the 19th Century?

THE $1.57 MILLION SNAKE SCREW-UP She thought she grabbed a harmless python. It was actually a venomous cottonmouth. 4 days in the ICU, 70 vials of antivenom, and a $1.57 million hospital bill.

Used to score games like this in Fenway park during the 1970s. They would sell these, with a pencil, for about 50 cents. Doing this really makes you pay attention to the game and in doing so, you start picking up on the nuances of the sport. We lost something when we stopped doing this.

I’m skeptical of people who think baseball is boring.

@TheFigen_ The whiskered laborers felt underpaid and so organized under the United Rodenthood of Carpenters (URC) and effectively priced themselves out of this niche market.

Does anyone know why mice stopped making their homes like that?

@ideaddontcare @dividendology After $1m, you just lie in your hammock in the backyard, listening to some Yacht Rock, and try and count all the money that just effortlessly flows into your accounts from that point on.

@dividendology What happens after $1 million?

$100k is 25% to $1M. $500k is 72% to $1M. Compounding changes everything.
