@cmonstah The row of portas is the thin blue line between sanitation apocalypse and just basic muddy bummer, and thankfully the portas were able to be emptied this morning. Apocalypse averted!
@MattStromberg Hammer is the biggest disappointment in this regard. Tho allegedly “vegetable forward” most of the items on their sample menus online include animal products. But plenty of options nearby.
@MattStromberg The Getty has some decent options in their big cafeteria but last time I was there it was only open to employees. LACMA has good fries and some Brussels sprouts you can order without cheese.
Why are Gen-Xers, uniquely among the age groups, so strongly Republican and weakly Democratic? BTW, this new @nytimes poll is not unique in showing this.
@GorskiPhilip @FRCdc@ndrewwhitehead Their discussion is about the “term” not the thing itself. “Where did it come from why is it being used?” Like they were blindsided by it. As if.
@JeffSharlet@ardenthistorian Thanks! Has there been any research on how this started and spread? Seems like mix of tactical/ pirate/ anarchist but I’m curious how it got mixed up and baked into whatever’s happening now.
@JeffSharlet@ardenthistorian Went down tiktok rabbit hole after you mentioned this… oof…
does no quarter flag relate to anarchist black flag either historically or maybe even ideologically? Also when was it most recently embraced by this particular demographic? So many of those flags on TikTok look so new!
@coljbeck Philip Roth’s The Plot Against America (tho is he canceled?) also I just found a copy of Sinclair Lewis It Can’t Happen Here, written in 1935, but i haven’t read it.
Two of the top 100 books on Amazon are self published sovereign citizen pamphlets from 2013 that promise readers they can discard their "government strawman" and reap total freedom from federal law. Buyers are sure to be let down because none of that is real.
@MattRuscigno How are ppl going to trust him nationally with that creepy ex wife of his running around? Talk about bad judgment. That alone will sink him.
