Biggest joke I’ve ever seen. Everyone in Boston knows this 99 deserves historical status.
We can’t be ripping out everything that makes Boston great for soulless shitty apartment buildings. There are empty buildings in seaport. Lower the cost instead of destroying the city.

What is with every little league team shirt being gigantic? From t-ball to middle school the season always begins with their coach handing them a fucking gown that looks like Scrooge’s nightshirt.

@MattZeitlin it was a genre though. all heavy music with a "punk" attitude/opposition toward rock stardom and showmanship and fun
LOL @ calling Nirvana "punk"
English
question for gen x-ers: did everyone realize at the time that grunge was not really a musical genre...pearl jams is basically classic rock, nirvana was punk, alice in chains was metal, soudgarden was drugs...what was going on there...

@dawsferatu I went in expecting weird folk horror and, instead, got a corny hippie musical.

It’s odd The Wicker Man kicked off the neo-pagan movement considering the whole movie seems to be about how Christianity has a better claim on your immortal soul than some bullshit made up in the late 19th century

@Gavin_McInnes Rubin instead asked the band (the Cult) if they would be interested in recording something more akin to AC/DC or early Led Zeppelin.[10] According to Astbury, "Rick asked us: 'Do you guys wanna make English pussy music, or do you want to rock?'
English
Rick Rubin has got to be the most overrated producer on earth. He just gets famous people to do covers of each other's songs. This is Slayer and ICE-T covering three Exploited songs. Thanks for coming out, guys!

@dalipolitial he's also dead wrong. scotch irish never call themselves irish here. only irish catholics do that. he just made the whole thing up.

The Irish diaspora really annoys certain English commentators. They need to get over it.
The English Remnant@Englishremnant
Most Americans who call themselves Irish aren’t talking about the same thing as the famine Irish of Boston and New York. A huge number are really Scots-Irish — English and Scottish border stock, Protestant frontier people whose ancestors came out of the borderlands, were planted in Ulster, then pushed into Appalachia, Tennessee, Kentucky and the South. Not Dublin. Not Cork. Not the tenements. A harder, older story of border clans, rifles, honour, feuds, distrust of authority and life on the edge of empire. The green beer version of Irish-American identity hides a lot. For millions, the real roots are English, Scottish, Ulster, frontier, Presbyterian, hill country and rebellion. Different people. Different history. Different temperament. 🏴🏴🇬🇧

@iamericvalley @christopherrufo Do you have any opinions that you’re *not* supposed to have? Do you have a single opinion that would anger a corporate HR lady or high school guidance counselor?
No, you do not.

Jefferson’s entryway into Monticello is quite striking, gives glimpse into his fascination with native culture and natural history. Can imagine Madison passing through on his way to play chess or to borrow volumes from the library.

@Steve_Sailer @ALABASTER_APE_X Not Sally though. Sally is gone forever.

@ALABASTER_APE_X Mostly, American white baby boy names are driven by sound: parents like names that sound a lot like recent names, but are slightly different: Jayden, Cayden, etc.
Upscale white seem to be returning to WASP classics. In DC, hot baby names include Henry, William, Alice, and James.

@LevantineDream @daveweigel If your language is already so ugly to the ears (it sounds like a camel coughing up a fur ball) why make your “joyous” sound so obnoxious and irritating?

@daveweigel Mr brightside is a cringe pop rock song by a mormon band
The zaghrouta is literally thousands of years old. You’re a pig, and the only reason you feel comfortable being racist is because it is Arabs that you’re victimizing

to anyone who’s uncultured
here’s how “Mr. Brightside” sounds, which is clearly not yodeling. It’s a form of celebration preformed at weddings and moments of joy all around michigan and iowa learnt from many generations. calling it “weird” or brushing it off is disrespectful.

The thing that I don’t get is why a 2nd Trump term was considered such an emergency in 2020 given how his first term was successfully subverted by Obama holdovers and the administrative state.
Trump II in 2024 is a beast and nothing like what a Trump II in 2020 would have been.
Jacob Shell@JacobAShell
I said this at the time: if the Democrats had just calmed tf down in 2020 and let Trump be a normal two-termer like all previous presidents going back to 1992, then he'd have been done in 2024 and Pence would have lost badly in the election that year. 2024-32 is the Amy Klobuchar Era (or whatever) in this scenario. Instead, by forcing the '20 election down a politically unnatural, excessively "tryhard" path (mail-ins, riots, etc), the Democrats manufactured what may wind up being a 16-year or even 20-year Trump Era, if Vance has success.

In a stunning rebuke to nationalism, Hungarians elected Peter Magyar, a long-time ally of Orban who recently broke with Orban over a scandal, and whose name is the Hungarian equivalent of "President John American."
English
Wait, I heard Viktor Orban was a terrifying threat to DEMOCRACY! But, in reality, he has 5 times won democratic election for Hungary's top job and 3 times lost. I suspect he was accused of being a menace to democracy more for representing the democratic will 5x than not 3x.

@AndyM1928 @BRyvkin This is a good point. The history of the American people begins with Hengest and Horsa.

Denver is by all accounts the only city on earth with:
-Teams in all four major American sports leagues

-Access to both Winter and Summer outdoor recreation with ease

It can't be overstated how horrible it is for NFL discourse that Tom Brady won 7 rings. For the rest of time every QB debate will be reduced to "HE HAS FEWER RINGS THAN BRADY, HE'S NOT THE GOAT" and it sucks. Especially since Brady was NOT A GREAT PLAYOFF QUARTERBACK. Brady is way more Bill Russell than he is LeBron/Jordan/Gretzky.
Ask yourself, in a sport where winning in the playoffs is heavily correlated with great QB efficiency, how does a QB with the most playoff wins have such mediocre efficiency?
Ask why is Brady the only QB in the modern era with 3+ rings that gets WORSE in the playoffs compared to the regular season!
It's luck! Being the luckiest doesn't make you the greatest and Brady is proof of that.

For whatever reason, I decided to read American Psycho last week.
Imagine my surprise to find that the lead sociopathic character, Patrick Bateman, idolizes Donald Trump.
The book mentions Trump dozens of times.
It was published in 1991.

There is lots of available affordable housing in Chicago but it's in neighborhoods where people don't want to live. Building more and higher housing in neighborhoods where people do want to live is one answer but making the south and west sides safer would also be fantastic.
