Dirty Dancing 2: Havana Nights

this is why someone had to be soulless to be billionaire.
Because, if i had that money, i would invest in things i love and want to see grow. The man literally makes more money in a day than he can possibly spend in a day, and uses that money to invest in things, suck them dry, and leave as a husk.

I feel like most senate hearings should use these signs. It'd save so much time

Nothing in the article (or the linked testimony) say how/why this is different than previous generations using TVs in the classroom.

And it cites iPhones...which aren't provided to students by schools. Whys this here? They might as well cite the lack of Saturday Morning cartoons since 2007

Excuse me while i plot my staging of West Side Story set in the 90s where its the two gangs are swing kids and psychobillies

Officer Krupke will be coded as Third Wave Ska

Perhaps social media flattens the differences between those three (as some ppl post like politicians and talk about their brand; while brands post like they're human ppl and politicians cry "wont someone something" as if they don't hold office) but we should try to not cross contaminate the trio

I get that after ~20 years of social media that etiquette is still loosely defined, but tagging a person to criticize them personal is wild

Do it politicians and corporate brands folk; not individuals.

The "Red Spot" from Scary Stories to Tell in The Dark "While Ruth slept, a spider crawled across her face. It stopped for several minutes on her left cheek, then went on its way. "What is this red spot on my cheek?" she asked her mother the next morning. "Looks like a spider bite." her mother said. "It'll go away, just don't scratch it." Soon the small red spot grew into a small red boil. "Look at it now," Ruth said, "It's getting bigger. It's sore." "That sometimes happens." her mother said. "It's coming to a head." In a few days the boil was even larger. "Look at it now," Ruth said. "It hurts and it's ugly." "We'll have the doctor look at it," her mother said, "maybe it's infected." But the doctor couldn't see Ruth until the next day. That night Ruth took a hot bath. As she soaked herself, the boil burst. Out poured a swarm of tiny spiders from the eggs their mother had laid in her cheek."

When he touched it, this was my only throught

A store with a sign that says “ADULT NOVELTIES - BJORK ALBUMS - MAGIC POKEMON YUGIOH - AIRSOFT GUNS”

"thin places" are locations where the veil between the physical and spiritual worlds is said to be particularly thin.

He follow through on none of his 2020 campaign promises regarding COVID

Exactly this. Businesses passed on the cost to consumers. WE paid.

Will they drop their prices now? Fuck, no. They never go BACKWARDS on prices.

So they'll get paid twice.

The more i hear them say how close their programs are to humans, the more I believe they're laying the groundwork to argue their products have the same right to exist as people

Hmm, but who wrote this sci-fi noir book i read in college?

Incredible opinion. It holds that the common ICE tactic of jumping out of an unidentified rental vehicle and seizing suspected noncitizens while masked violates the Fourth Amendment because the *manner* of the seizure is incompatible with a free society governed by the rule of law.

Recalls, Market Withdrawals, & Safety Alerts FDA and industry press releases regarding product recalls

There seems to be a list on the FDA's site. But even that's incomplete because it don't have that Trader Joe's fried rice

The man's personality is a narrow gradient of beige

Across the US, people are dismantling and destroying Flock surveillance cameras Anger over ICE connections and privacy violations is fueling the sabotage. PLUS: 10,000 drivers call on Uber to repay stolen wages, a man is arrested at a public hearing about a data center and more.

Across the US, people fed up with Flock cameras surveilling their communities, and with local governments that are often unwilling to listen to concerns over privacy violations and ICE data sharing practices, are taking matters into their own hands—and tearing them down.

When I say our leaders aren’t helping us, this is what I mean. ICE is showing no signs of leaving but our senator, who is currently running for governor, doesn’t even know that. And she’s doing the administration‘s work for them.

Seems the horizon is near the center of all of these. adds to that calmness perhaps

See! They gave the whole towns assassination coordinates!

Punked like the whole town of Dingus, Kentucky

Yay! I'm not an artist, but i've missed these every Thursday. Its a reminder of how many talented people are out there

I've seen nothing but people saying it brings that old GoT magic back

Some people eat raw meat and seeds to connect with their primal ancestors.

I'm going to watch uploaded VHS of original broadcasts of the X-Files, commercials and all

Back in the day of episodic releases, they put the best shows on the weekday because each evening, even feeling drained from work, TV would drop feed the soul reasons to live--insuring survival until the weekend.

Our ancestors understood this, but we must rebuild it

Thanks for the reminder!
I try to do this when i read the floppies in hopes that it'd nudge the TPB a fraction of a smidge on Goodreads. Didn't consider doing it for app comics.

Jumping over to League of Comic Geeks to do the same 🫡
