Yeah, this has been fantastic. Oh, and it can convert the R-word to a feed. ;)

Yes. There are race tracks. You’re pretending there are no secondary effects or bad consequences.

“Police say two of the victims were innocent bystanders who were killed when the alleged street racer struck their vehicle and it burst into flames …He said the couple leaves behind four kids — ages 10 to 16… “They are deceased because of street racing. We also have one of the drivers who was street racing, he also lost his life,” said Fort Worth Officer Buddy Calzada. “We just can’t understand why somebody would continue to street race at a high rate of speed at the risk of losing their life or taking the life of someone else.””

I’m going to guess that “extremism on race” doesn’t extend that far to the white, I mean right.

Buy it on Bandcamp, then use Apple’s “iTunes music match” service, $25 a year if I remember right, which allows you to stream anything that you own and have added to iTunes, on any Apple device that has the same iCloud account id as iTunes.

Means that the artists get everything (Bandcamp Friday rules!) except the $25 a year.

Wouldn’t’ve - “wouldn’t of”

If you give me six lines written by the hand of the most honest of men, I will find something in them which will hang him.

Totally not a sign of corruption. Totally.

Oh gods yes. His shadow looms large over the mythos. Thankfully there’s been stuff like Winter Tide, but we also don’t have HPL doing interviews for the papers or on TV - we can reckon with who he was. She keeps making it more problematic.

Got all excited when I saw HP, but it’s Potter, not Lovecraft. More power to ’em, but I wish it were not in that notable transphobe’s world. Thinking of all the other sci-fi that goes from fantasy to modern to sci-fi … Zahn’s Spinneret, Stross’ “Merchant Princes TNG”, etc.

Yeah, was thinking more the “2 cars” vs 1. And $70/month to have backup transport may be worth it if it’s paid off. But yes, the EV would be cheaper to run.

The gas is almost the cheapest thing. Insurance, maintenance, tires, etc

He doesn’t care. It’s an easy way to appease his base. “Lefty lefty left”
