@iheartmindy@paqdawg My dog loves that stuff.
Goose grass is useful as a natural herbal remedy, an edible wild plant, and an animal feed supplement. It acts as a traditional diuretic, helps soothe skin irritations, and provides nutrients for livestock
@stereogum@IpecacRec@TomahawkBand Can’t wait!!! Just saw Patton w/ The Avett Brothers last month and it was amazing. 9:30 Club in DC for Melvins and Tomahawk next.
22 yrs ago today, after a long zoning dispute with local officials that ruined his business, welder Marvin Heemeyer had enough & created the Killdozer.
He destroyed the mayor’s house, the judge’s house, town hall, the police station, & the bank - while avoiding hurting civilians or their property.
Happy Killdozer Day to those who celebrate 🎊
@FenixAmmunition Very true. You can also hear it when your rare 200,000+ mile Audi seizes a brake caliper and they no longer make them. Gonna have to snag some 17z’s from a Porsche to keep her going. #titsortires
@BigDickBarclay That wall switch is trick!
How about this weirdness? Roll out switch separated without tripping. Indian tenants pegged the thermostat to 90, and let her eat. Heat exchanger is split. Now they’re tripping breakers with portables, lol.
Glad I’m not on call this week…
19 years ago today
The Bowery changed forever
Early Monday morning on October 16, 2006, punk rock venue CBGB officially closed its doors.
Hilly Kristal and the homeowners ended their relationship due to a long argument

The “16% mortgage rate” argument is a textbook example of historical distortion through omission. Let’s break the illusion:
Yes, rates were 16% in 1981 - for a few quarters.
But the median home price was $70K.
And median income was about $21K.
That’s a 3.3x price-to-income ratio, even at peak rates.
Today? Median home price is ~$430K. Median income ~$60K.
That’s 7.2x price-to-income - more than double the burden.
Even with lower interest rates today,
the actual monthly cost of housing is higher, and the duration of debt slavery is longer.
And that’s before we account for:
•No student debt in 1981
•Single-income households buying homes
•Employer-provided pensions
•Healthcare tied to stable employment
•No gig economy, no $1,200 rent for a 300 sq ft box
Now let’s address Vietnam. Yes, war is horrific. But here’s the trap:
Using selective trauma to deny systemic decay is a diversion tactic.
You can’t compare mandatory conscription with
an entire generation locked out of asset ownership forever.
This isn’t about “who had it worse”
It’s about who inherited a functioning system
and who inherited a collapsing simulation.
Stop pretending the current generation is soft.
They’re resilient inside a rigged structure
where every ladder has been pulled up
and every escape hatch monetized.
You want honesty? Here it is:
Past generations struggled to survive.
Ours struggles to belong in a world they no longer own.
That’s the difference. And that’s the whole point.
EARTH DISASTER CYCLE - Aspects/Probabilities
There is a disaster cycle of 6000/12,000 years, which includes a geomagnetic excursion, volcanic upticks, solar flash, mega-tsunamis, and disappearance of species
99.9%
We are due for the disaster cycle again now
99.9%
It has already begun
99.9%
It is a severe biosphere risk
99.9%
The event will have peak risk in the 2040s
95%
The event includes a solar micronova
92% (7% superflare, 1% no solar blast)
The crust unlocks, tilting the earth
85%
The tilt direction takes Greenland to the equator, with new poles near India and South America
70% (30% EDCO or 2nd Axis tilt)
Stop it. Stop wiping. You’re not gonna get it all off. You’re just wasting toilet paper. Either take a shower or just live with a little poop on your butt hole.
It's insane to me that there are actually people who think it's a good idea to offshore the production of the stuff we need to protect our Second Amendment rights, to countries that don't even believe in it.
Good luck when those countries decide to join the "war on gun violence" and stop importing ammo for sale to US civilians.
Some people really can't see beyond the here and now.
