There’s already UXO in America. In just the past four years, WWII have been discovered and detonated on three separate occasions - and that was just in New Jersey, I have no idea about what’s gone on in other states.

Just two companies, actually, Baowu Group Xinjiang Bayi Iron and Steel, and Changzhou Guanghui Food Ingredients (aspartame maker).
*Trump Senior had learned to pull out.
Congratulations, Jim! You were always so much better than you were given credit for.
The judge’s comments on the ruling are both savage and incredibly on point.
It could also mean that they started young, perhaps babysitting, dog-walking, or delivering papers. It also could mean that they’ve worked multiple jobs at the same time: in college, I worked two full-time and one part-time job in addition to classes, which ramped up my job numbers noticably.
GenX tv addict here. I grew up in a time when, if you wanted to watch a show, you need to make an effort to be in front of the tv when it aired. If you missed seeing it, you had to hope that if was repeated over the summer (only about 2/3’s the episodes of a continuing series would be repeated, and if a show was cancelled, that was it). If you missed it on summer repeats, you’d have to hold the show went into syndication, was carried locally at a time you were able to watch it, and then stalk the series because syndication packages were notoriously shown out of order (which is why almost all the episodes ended up with the characters being in the same base situation as they started out in).
It was the same thing if there was an episode or series you loved and wanted to watch again.
VCRs were an absolute game changer. You didn’t have to revolve your life around a tv schedule- you could go out, to go events, go shopping, have a late dinner. You could pause tv to go to the bathroom, you could watch and re-watch episodes that you enjoyed, or verify something you thought had happened earlier instead of relying on collective memory. If you missed taping something, you might still have to wait for re-runs - but there was also the chance that someone else had taped it and could loan you the tape.
Having learned the lessons of broadcast tv, I taped everything I watched, and I kept the tapes of the stuff I liked, or that had actors I liked. I could sit down today and watch all the episodes of David Soul in Casablanca or Billy Campbell in Moon Over Miami, or short-lived shows like Space Rangers or South of Sunset.
I still record and save things locally. The myth of having immediate access to everything ever produced was always just a myth.
So they were offered a 50% hike, so what? When was the last time they got a meaningful pay increase? And if it’s not the money, it’s got to be something else: remember when the rail workers were on strike and the bosses made big noise about the pay increases they were offering, only it turned out that the workers were constantly expected to work double shifts on no notice, with no real option to refuse, and they had no time off for months on end? Fuck that shit, pay the workers what they’re worth. If I can’t buy a brand new car or some bananas, so what?
… am I the only one who didn’t have problems with the headline?
I don’t want her to be NYC mayor, either. I want her to be President!
… Actual new voters, or voters who are re-registering because they were dumped off the voter rolls by Republican fuckery?
Mt. Airy is Andy Griffith’s home town, and was the inspiration for Mayberry.
I’m sure she’ll be just as vigorous in granting him every conceivable doubt as she is with Trump.
Ah, yes, another old white man who wants to control women. I am so sick of this shit.
They’ve also killed a bunch of old Republicans because of the anti-vax thing.
He doesn’t. His base might, depends how much they have left. The people who definitely will are the Russians, Chinese and Saudis.
This was obvious from the moment they built a road cutting Gaza in half.
Well, is not like covid is going away.
This is why regulations are a good thing.
Planned enshittification a la boiling frogs.
