Found a picture that shows the rest of the float and I am at a complete loss about what they were doing
Side view of the parade float from St Joseph Catholic School. It's blurry but appears to have ghosts, jack-o-lantern and possibly a jukebox? With the concentration camp gates at the back

Reminds me of my favorite tweet
Jonathan Kay's infamous dog shampoo tweet: "so it turns out I've been using dog shampoo on my hair for the last few months," Kay tweeted along with a photo of a bottle of what is very clearly Arm & Hammer dog shampoo, including a prominent photo of a dog on the bottle. "(I only discovered it when I ran out and needed to get more.) this is partly my own fault but it doesnt help that @ArmandHammer has the word 'pets' in like 4-pt typeface. I'm guessing this is common."

The cover art on the Virgin Games release of the Master System version has more energy, but the player looks like he's on a frightening amount of steroids

One of the few times the artist could sing well enough and was handsome enough he actually got to perform himself and wasn't replaced with a model lipsyncing to the music

Cartoon of a man with bloodshot eyes and a scraggly beard. He is holding a cup of coffee. On the desk are a pack of cigarettes and a plate of spaghetti. At the top of the image it says "Next year will be our year." Multiple years going back to 2008 are on the image but crossed out. 2026 is the only year not crossed out.

I mean, it was so common they used to sell holders that acted as dispensers for your saved plastic grocery bags. You could even buy sewing patterns to make your own

I was wondering what in the world was on top and it turns out it's "bourbon bacon jam" which is definitely turning me off to the whole idea
Blueberry Breakfast Bratwurst Blueberry Breakfast Bratwurst is a morning-meets-Wisconsin creation wrapped in fluffy pancake perfection. Usinger’s Blueberry-infused brat is nestled inside a flapjack and pairs perfectly with sweet and smoky house-made bourbon bacon jam. No matter what time of day, this is a breakfast lover’s dream! Available at Milwaukee Brat House.

Katie @c_atie2 · Jul 24, 2024 Can I ask what is the correct pronunciation? I've heard so many different versions... Henry K. Miller @henrykmiller · Jul 24, 2024 Well, yes, me too. I have asked people who knew him, who don't know. But in this film and in one other instance I can think of, he says Durg-nat. But presumably that is not how his father's family was addressed in Switzerland.

Right now, the same story is playing out again and again across the Sun Belt: Eventually, suburban sprawl runs its course, and cities must face both the restrictiveness of their own land-use laws and the seemingly universal human tendency to put down roots and then oppose new development. If current trends continue, then in 20 years, the housing crisis in cities such as Miami, Phoenix, and Atlanta will be as severe as it is in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York today.
