Oh weird. I don’t think I’d ever heard that before. Wikipedia said it was a “somewhat common” practice in the south at the time.

That article was really worth reading. Thank you for posting it. I didn’t know how much upheaval there has been surrounding endorsements in the field of journalism. It’s crazy that we’ve gotten to the point where the owners of two major papers both got involved to stop an endorsement over the same election against the same candidate. The article mentions that people have been canceling their subscriptions in protest, but… it doesn’t seem like enough.

If someone by now isn’t concerned about defeating Trump, there’s literally nothing we can do about it other than to call them out for being a shitbag for voting 3rd party.

It must be nice to have the luxury of making a protest vote. They must think their life wouldn’t change either way.

But it’s literally how it works in the USA with voting. It shouldn’t, but it DOES.

Well, I had been happy with YouTube music for years, but I’m frustrated by this at the moment:

Yeah, thank fuck he beat Trump or both Ukraine and Gaza would already be gone by now. I really wish he would stop selling weapons to Israel though.

Hi! Yes, I have a question.

Grocery prices have been hitting hard lately, and I’m looking into alternative meat sources. I would like to know if I were to join your company, could we literally eat the rich? Or, second best, take all their stuff?

Ugh. We caught a kid doing that in my high school library last May. We radioed for help. The campus supervisor walked him outside, talked to him about it, and sent him back to us to finish the test he was working on. I couldn’t believe it. Later, we told admin about it and had to write witness statements. He was a freshman and said it’s what he does at home when he’s sitting around, and didn’t realize he was doing it. None of the students know, as far as I’m aware. We all kept it very quiet.

There are three subreddits I miss after leaving reddit, and one of them is r/freefolk.

Brando Sando has answered the question a bunch of times, and said he’s not interested at all. Also, GRRM previously said he would never allow it to be finished by anyone else. Who knows? Maybe the publisher will force it.
