Speaking of weird history did you ever find out if/how related you are to the people that sheltered the Frank family? I remember you saying something about that at some point.

Like, listening to or playing?

(For the latter, I just put a bunch of “2x bass pedal version” songs on my rock band customs machine and have been trying to set my legs on fire)

just following up on a conversation at the end of my stream tonight, history is weird and allan pinkerton (yes, that one) was a staunch abolitionist 1) whose home was a stop on the underground railroad, and 2) probably bought the suit that john brown was hanged in.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allan_P...

Pinkerton was known to be a friend of abolitionist John Brown. On March 11, 1859, he supported Brown by giving him $500 and a ticket on the Michigan Central Railroad to Detroit. He also attended the secret meetings held by John Brown and Frederick Douglass in Chicago along with abolitionists John Jones and Henry O. Wagoner. At those meetings, Jones, Wagoner, and Pinkerton helped purchase clothes and supplies for Brown. Jones' wife, Mary, guessed that the supplies included the suit Brown was hanged in after the failure of John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry in November 1859.[13]

Hummus is good as a thing but as a dip it’s inferior to tzatziki.

Dairy based dips are going to heavily dominate any western dip bracket.

Band Aid is selling glow in the dark bandaids. Couldn’t catch me in one of those. It’s the real world equivalent of a glowing weak spot that telegraphs where you can hit someone for massive damage.

This specific billboard seems to be for cringe, especially.

A billboard advertising the game Words With Friends. It says “Zynga, play around” and then a picture of the board with the word “friends” spelled horizontally and a truncated word that has to be “benefits” spelled vertically passing through the “e” in friends.

The billboards on 101 into SF are often some sort of business cringe.

A billboard for a company called single store. With text that says “manager stormy data. No hush money required.“ Next to the text is a picture of an orange human hand holding a newspaper.

"those young republicans were practicing politics the right way"

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 14h

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

I’m sorry I have been informed that this is cringe and therefore does not work.

NEW: Israel informed the UN it will permit only 300 aid trucks into Gaza daily, not the 600 mandated by the ceasefire it just signed.

Why @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, @chucktingle.bsky.social et al won't is clear: they THINK their reelection is locked up. They know the Americans who care don't have another option. And the second level leadership in the party is doing what they did with Biden: pretending nothing is wrong!

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.
