Schridde’s ads drew such a strong response that Motorola kept him on even after he left the agency handling its account. The series ran in Life and The Saturday Evening Post from 1961 to 1963.

We decided to build a country around a single consumer good that makes our built environment look like this:
What has become so normalized that we've stopped noticing how absurd it is?

A case study in failed governance that many people fail to properly understand:
One of the most shocking things from this WSJ video on the California high-speed rail is the decision to move the stations *four to five miles* from city center to cut costs. Dropping you off downtown is the biggest perk of the train! youtube.com/watch?v=zPiJKJuQ…

this may actually be the dumbest thing i’ve ever seen. >massive tax cuts >local governments cut spending >RETALIATION ????????? dawg where did you think the money came from??
Asshole local governments are retaliating against the voters for approving Amendment 3 by threatening to cut important projects. Cut your damn staff and salaries and cut the waste at the sheriff’s offices. Myriad examples have been given over the last six months.

“The premise is simple, Lemon: Contestants must hide Shaquille O’Neal from the people of Dallas. If this works, the network is ready to greenlight similar shows like ‘Will You Co-Sign Lenny Dykstra’s Loan?’ and ‘Can You Convince a Georgia Football Player to Call an Uber?’”
EXCLUSIVE: ABC has set a new competition series titled "Can You Hide... Shaq?" Hosted by comedian Nicole Byer, the show follows eight contestants attempting to hide Shaquille O’Neal in plain sight in Dallas. They'll have to disguise, distract and deceive for a shot at grand prize money. The series premieres with two episodes on Thursday, Dec. 3, at 9 p.m. on ABC and the ESPN app. Episodes will stream on Hulu the next day. wp.me/pc8uak-1lI5EM

Between 2000 & 2010, only 28% of counties had more deaths than births. In the most recent census data, nearly 2/3 now do.

Today marks the 51th anniversary of the tragic lost of the #EdmundFitzgerald. The ship departed Superior, WI on Nov 9, 1975 bound for Detroit but sank near Whitefish Point, MI on Nov 10th during a powerful storm over the #GreatLakes. All 29 crew were lost. storymaps.arcgis.com/stories…

Two months ago, this same activist went to a city council meeting to push for a roof-repair fund so taxpayers could fix her roof. A Democratic lawmaker was like...with what money? You blocked the data center. Decline really is a choice sometimes.

Insane decision. Every great element of this movie is outdated: dial-up, email, book stores, talking to strangers, men and women dating

This is a map in need of an update. Is Charlotte not prominent enough to go without the "N.C." after it?

Waiting until after 9 when it was free to talk/text. The most unhinged thing about it is that now, no way I’m talking to anyone after 9pm
Millennials, what was considered completely NORMAL in 2005 that would be absolutely unhinged today?

Because of this tweet, I discovered an entire album of Ancient Roman music on Spotify. All of them are vaguely haunting bangers that activate some long buried epigenetic blood memory of my ancestors passing under the yoke after a crippling defeat by Gaius Julius Civilis in 69. Excellent.
Ancient Roman music is the most unsettling shit I’ve ever heard in my life
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The music is not from a surviving score. It is new music based on guesswork. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synaulia

Yeah, this is nonsense. The playoff will be big enough to include every champion now. G6 ought to form their own football subdivision and playoff if they don't get equal access.
