Literally just had the realization that the entire program was an IEP for my untreated ADHD.

Rude. Right about Islam tho

I saw this and immediately wondered what your thoughts were on it! I have never seen an original in person, and never seen one this nice period.

Congratulations!

You really need to do another conference where it's just "WTF is this scene?!" for three days.

Lararium?

This with a phallus is what I see too

Wonderful news!!! I have been looking forward to this!

"The Twilight Zone" Dust (TV Episode 1961) ⭐ 6.9 | Drama, Fantasy, Horror 25m | TV-PG

Last night, I was watching episode 2.12 of The Twilight Zone. The father of a condemned man buys a bag of fake magic dust for 100 Pesos in gold. When they jingle the coins the sound is very clear that they are holding five 20 Peso gold coins, or at least double eagles!

“Nothing in the middle of the road but yellow lines and dead armadillos” is a genius turn of phrase.

"Keep it out of direct sunlight, if you want to put it away, roll or pad the folds and box it but keep it in a climate controlled area- no attic or basement, if you want to display- that’s a whole other discussion

I asked a friend who does fabric conservation:

"Well, honestly it looks great, without images of the mildew it’s hard for me to say much- the red is tricky, washing (if it hasn’t been done) is not smart- dye bleed."

Obverse is definitely Victory flying right, holding wreath and palm frond.

It is admittedly a stretch! Maybe a baton in a race??

Rotate it 90 degrees and it could be a very crude pair of clasped hands

Evil muppet.

Being absolute shit is the only thing AI is good at, but in that it does truly excel.

Love me a good allegory of the gold vs silver standard debates 😍

That's just any Italian-American though

"McGinn told local media he did it to show there were normal people in parliament and to celebrate in his own way."

Jacksonian America would have loved world turtle day!

It is Charles F. Brannock's birthday, famous for inventing the foot measuring device named after him (and highlighted on a recent John Oliver episode). So, here is an amazing 1870s ad note for Abel H. Gunn's Silver Tipped Boots & Shoes with a Rebus puzzle on the back (solution in next post).🗃️

This is what radicalizes guys like Brock Sampson

You were instrumental in convincing me that I was right that it was indeed an original strike! Such an interesting piece.

For May Day here is protest money issued by the IWW during the Nevada Goldfield Miners Strike. Workers struck after owners replaced cash wages with scrip due to the Panic of 1907. The notes reference the Exploitation Mercantile Company, In Gold we Trust, and President Teddy Roosevelt (Teddy Bear). 🗃️

Was about to write an essay about the endemic coin shortages of the late 18th century and the importance of Welsh copper, but decided against it.

100%. Closest I can find (and it's nowhere near similar) is weisswurst at Aldi.

Those who study history are doomed to watch helplessly as it repeats forever.

Equally comforting and depressing that we're dealing with the same shit 225 years later.
