Just learned that the Margie’s Meatloaf Mecca billboard came down this year. I was fortunate enough to encounter it firsthand while driving to Cincinnati in 2021

Sticker Mule is both A) A more expensive option and B) Run by a trophy-hunting, Trump-worshiping Qultist. You have other options! Check this spreadsheet! (And while we're at it: ditch U-LINE. Also unfathomably awful people.)

all I had to do was click on one sticker ad on IG and suddenly my feed was full of other sticker ads. I clicked on them all and did the math for you. The best small-run samples pricing is at SlapCo; best overall pricing is at Sticker Cyborg or Sticker OG Factory. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Hey it's me, Sonic the Hedgehog! Did you know you don't have to write every thought you have on the computer? That's right - believe it or not there are many cases where the thrill of likes and reposts do not outweigh the potential real world consequences, regardless of how unlikely they are!

Same stupid motherfuckers made Tressie nope out of here. Being an asshole to Black people online because you’re ineffective at helping people in the real world isn’t praxis, actually.

It's all so self-defeating, and will accelerate this place dying on the vine. Bouie's among the handful of brilliant columnists fighting the good fight at major outlets. (One could argue that he's the best of his generation.) Don't drive him off for having the audacity to interact with you!

My take on the whole “boomers having too much fun and not supporting their kids enough” discourse is that people should expect more from the government and less from their parents.

Too many people think politics is chess when it's checkers. If Biden can't run then it should go to the person who you told everyone 4 years ago should be president if he can't do it.

The arguments for sticking with Biden don't make sense. Neither do the arguments for holding a "mini-primary" to replace Biden. What makes sense? President Harris. Now. My latest for the Washington Monthly: washingtonmonthly.com/2024/07/09/h...

on @eurowhat.bsky.social's Patreon: we watched the Celine Dion documentary where does it slot in as a celebrity documentary? how does it compare to _Aline_? would we recommend the movie? all of this is discussed, PLUS we detail what we're doing with the rest of our Summer of Celine. Check it out!

I Am: Celine Dion takes an unflinching look at the singer's life since revealing her stiff person syndrome diagnosis. We discuss the effectiveness of the movie and how the timing of filming impacts the storytelling patreon.com/eurowhat
