- Amazon notification: you will be so surprised to learn we sell other books by this person named Jules Verne
- thing I hate the most about the National Prayer Breakfast is breakfast is the one meal people should be able to eat in peace!
- list keeps growing
- I see they are once again serving golden calf at the prayer breakfast
- Starfleet academy is kind of cheesy but I don't mind. I like that they are trying to give even the minor characters more than one personality trait
- I mean if you can't subscribe for the news maybe just do it to support Jeff bezos, a man who absolutely does not need your money whatsoever
- curious how this Washington Post turn around is supposed to work. who wants to pay the same price for 1/3 of the amount of news
- I have reached that point in the winter where I often find myself looking for my hat, while wearing it
- worth reading the whole thread. Josh knows more about journalism business than han anyone else and I think his read of bezos is correct
- tempted to say well that's capitalism but to be honest this is also how non-profits work
- at some point the world will have had enough of fucking billionaires. just like we did, for the most part, with kings and emperors
- bezos reassures the public that there will still be enough of the Washington Post to wrap a fish or line a bird cage with
- is there any difference between fusilli and rotini?
- The Baileys: Just abolish it you fucking cunt
- in the end I suspect Minnesota is showing the way forward, and we're going to have to build a nation within a nation, laterally, without and therefore immune to the whims of rich people
- every scheme collapses eventually that's the nature of a scheme. it's just a question of who's left holding the bag
- look I like Radiohead, even the later stuff. but you got to admit a lot of it is like "these four chords sound really cool together don't they"
- dude is quite literally shitting on the resolute desk
- so Trump's going to knock down the Kennedy center and turn it into a Hooters I guess
- also, isn't "oh my god someone's throwing the most amazing party I have to get invited" something we're supposed to grow out of 8n our 20s
- pretty sure the reason rich powerful people have all these fucked up transactional relationships with each other is none of them have any real friends
