hood canal cody

and the people in the court chanted ‘three more years! three more years!’

Title card for the movie HyperNormalisation.

Didn’t swing!!!

Time travel!!!

John bowman was a legit hero in the reconstruction and labor efforts of the USA. Was a major player of the rail strike in 1877.

Translated and published marx in the us. Still blow away he came here at 16

But I don’t feel weird in describing myself as American. Have family in wales but they wouldn’t call me welsh nor would I. The only ethnic white thing I experienced growing up was Swedish stuff

So that side, mom side is mayflower and Swede in the late 19th. Dad’s all got kicked out. Wales in the 1910s and ‘Germany’ in 1849. The German dude is particularly cool. Got kicked out at 16, started a press and newspaper for radical republicans, first mayor of east St. Louis, killed by the cops lol

The thing that’s tough about that is my mom’s side is both the oldest and newest entry and my dad was way more recent. Tho my last name is the most Anglo thing after Smith

Grounding all the flights in blue states would certainly make the Republican Party really popular.

"zero interest rates were too high" so we need "return to tribalism"

-i did not know monetary policy was a topic that could fill me with such hatred
-perhaps we've gone from c20 "military keynesianism" to "mercantile keynesianism"

It’s a chill spot and it really makes the town feel like a real town. Not really looking forward to it being closed for a while.

Yeah. Happened at around 2 today. Damage is probably pretty minor but the insurance companies drag the shit out of this kind of stuff. So probably no bar in hoodsport until summer.

the only real issue is making sure they don’t form prison gangs.

Lucky Dog is incredibly small and has no table games. The only real upside is the prime rib they do on the weekends is solid and well drinks are cartoonishly cheap.

I’m gonna spend so much more time at the lucky dog lol.

It’s crazy, theres really nothing out here. Eagle creek closed down in 2020 so the closest north is geoduck (30m) otherwise going south you got the lucky dog and then Shelton. I guess you could go out to Union to 2 margs.

Yeah. No one got hurt but hoodsport is gonna be barless for a while.

the one bar in town caught fire. not sure how people will survive the dreary winter

Weird. I always assumed it was trained by the user so I have a ton of weird baseball stats that populate on mine

What if the signature is to forge checks for FAs?

That is certainly true in the long term but the people who fund municipal political campaigns dont think that long term

The banality of a day dream maybe! Or using it to betray an unreliable narrator to the audience.

I think there are some novel uses but they are probably pretty didactic

Absolutely. Haven’t been impressed by AI in general. But i do think there’s gotta be someone cooking up a film using its inherent strangeness. Like a pod-people type story or just a person losing their mind.

The thing that really bothers me is how large AI makes everything look. Stuff back then would be claustrophobic, dimly lit and grimy. Gritty vibes tho old hat at this time would’ve made more sense. Heck you could even do a super slowed down Sousa for the trailer soundtrack

very anecdotal but i live in a red area and the amount of dudes who have told me they’re libertarian lately had skyrocketed lately

which is the closest to admitting shame they’ll ever get

This is literally the issue plaguing American cities. The real rub is the cities are generally funded by property taxes so they really don’t want home values to go down. Heck, there’s probably a break even point figured out for displacing encampments

I think a very easy one would be to make spam calls/texts/emails and their lists extremely illegal. It would crush a lot of the reactive lumpen-bourgeois that is the engine for maga

I think the only ethical use case of a project like this would be doing a gritty reboot of the air bud universe. One where he’s now a used car sales dog

But I suppose the other major question is, how do we rebuild/promote high trust societies. I would assume they’re more effective than a carceral state
