POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

I just need some hope Pete, things seem impossibly dire. This is nice to read, but it doesn't seem to be changing what is happening here. Like, what's it gonna take? We're in so deep.

I think that Weakened Friends just released their best album. Highly recommend this Maine trio if you like 90's sounding alt rock. @weakenedfriends.bsky.social open.spotify.com/album/62P7kN...

The one just off 5 corners is awesome in general, the salvage place. Near Bailey Spring and Chassis next to that weird new road they put in.

Agreed! Especially the festivals, every town/city not doing something like Underhill does with their harvest festival is seriously missing out on a lot of untapped potential for their people.

Also, we watch "Baby Boom" last night, RIP DK. Had no idea there was a whole big shit ton of Vermont in that film. Back when Hollywood had bad teeth.

Any local Chittenden County Vermont folks know what antique stores are good for hand tools these days? I haven't rust hunted in a while.

This WSJ article bums me out. I know the tourists can be...a lot, but shit man, we need them. We've got to find better ways to support foliage season, and local residents who need it on the town level. www.wsj.com/lifestyle/ne...

Locals are pushing for road closures and parking restrictions, while general stores peddle figurines that make fun of leaf-peeping tourists.

Saw a distant family member post this in response to another distant family members feelings. And while it’s genuine and nice, it’s just an example of how brainwashed by the current admin people can be and how the press has indeed failed all of us.
