In other news, broccoli rabe is now going by Broccoli Robert.

And punishing any organization that platforms him.

More the Ataris’ cover:

Out on the road today

I saw a Black Flag sticker on a Cadillac

Right? Let’s just ignore that he was basically stalking her from 14 on.

If you do it right, masturbating is light exercise.

Texas had a derecho go from Central Texas to the coast, which is the opposite of how weather is supposed to work here.

Apolitical: far right/fascist Liberal: right Moderate: right “Democrat”(USA): right leaning moderate.

Gary Larson has several species of animals named after him. He also named the spiked part of a stegosaurus tail in a comic (the thagomizer, “after the late Thag Simmons”) and had that name adopted as the official name by paleontologists.

The comment is a reference to The Wizard of Oz, where three characters are walking through the woods talking about their fear of “lions and tigers and bears, oh my!”

So, “libertaire” probably means “libertarian” in the original sense of an anarchist.

It might help to have some examples. Are you a student talking to other students? An office worker talking to colleagues? An attempt to converse with (say) a busy clerk at a store is less likely to go well than a casual chat with someone who is also waiting in line.

And sometimes there’s genuinely nothing to talk about, and recognizing that is a useful skill.

I don’t know if this is true in the UK but in the US McD’s locations are nearly all franchises owned by local business owners. So McDonald’s the corporation could reasonably be unaware that the 15 (say) locations in Dallas TX owned by Horatio Hornblower were all staffed by trafficked persons.

I’m not saying this would absolve McDonald’s of responsibility but it would address the “being unaware” part.

Spoken like a guy who can’t take criticism.

And why is that “inevitable?” Is it because capitalism makes agrarian life basically impossible?

The problem with studies based on any current trends is that they are all framed with the assumption that capitalism will continue to be the dominant socioeconomic system.

I recently heard a “housing expert” say that cities have to keep growing, there’s no sustainable static level of population, and I thought “there’s better be or we’re all fucked.”

The problem with capitalism is that it only works if there’s perpetual growth, which (as many before me have pointed out) is the logic of cancer.

I’m pretty sure the options would be to arrest him or be fired for insubordination.

Charles Bukowski wrote maybe the most beautiful paean to the fact of the telephone book:

More to the point, if there is a warrant issued for his arrest, his secret service detail would need to arrest him.
