To my depression-raised parents, this and canned biscuits were some kind of magic. I remember small cans and big cans of the concentrate and the same amount of water being used for both. Also remember wondering why juice that said β€œNot From Concentrate” tasted so much better.

Finished in1943, a couple years after the U.S. entered WWII. I imagine this was almost an exact image in the heads of a lot of young men so far from home.

He looks like a Fallout ghoul that is still decaying. Won’t be long before he loses his nose.

I saw it in the theater and loved it. I was still a couple of years away from actually having a girlfriend, but I remember thinking that it was great that a nerdy guy could have a cool girlfriend. Also kinda remember there being a Micky Mouse phone.

Great show! Everything look so old in the clip, but that isn’t how I remember it.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

Dave Ball, one half of Tainted Love hitmakers Soft Cell, dies, aged 66 Bandmate Marc Almond paid tribute, saying: "He will always be loved by the Soft Cell fans who love his music and his music and memory will live on."

Sad to hear Dave Ball of #Softcell no longer with us. Was performing and writing to the very end!

That should be the state moto. You can pick almost any point in history and it would be true. Probably first uttered by Mexico.

Here, Bob Odenkirk (in a pod with Mike Birbiglia) says something I have been thinking about *so much* the last few years but I never, ever hear expressed in public. Lord, hearing it said aloud just made me burst into tears. (Yes I'm fine why do you ask.)

Starts at 39:00.

Mike Johnson will go down as the most destructive Speaker of the House in history primarily through his inaction and looking the other way. His phony piousness isn’t going to earn him the afterlife he expects.

My father was an Atomic Veteran who participated in Operation Sandstone in 1948. He died of acute myelomonocytic leukemia. The DOD did nothing but put up roadblocks when we tried to prove the two were related.
