It may be fiction, but I heard it was canceled because it had too many jokes. The network felt the audience lacked the attention span to handle it. In the days before live replay and internet video, they may have been right. I recorded all the episodes on VHS and watched them periodically for years.
I live in Columbia and it hasn't changed as of a few weeks ago...
They were going to redevelop the property into an urban Walmart with a parking garage not long after the Bombers left. If memory serves, the hitch was that it's prone to flooding. So, there it sits.
My grandmother's last car was a 1956 Buick that she drove until her passing in 1975. To start Buicks of that era, you turned the ignition on, then pressed the accelerator to the floor to engage the starter. So, maybe flooring a car at startup was a thing? youtube.com/shorts/W9oob...
Someone (@lewfoo) posted a long thread on the THREADS app about this. I’m posting the @npr.org story on which her thread was based here. PLEASE READ & SHARE. It’s so important.

Hey Bluesky friends, there’s an account impersonating me. Pls report and block. @jay.bsky.team
We never had President McGovern, but I take solace in the fact that President Hoover did indeed suck.
Reviewing the work of the white churches, Frederick Douglass had this to say: “Between the Christianity of this land and the Christianity of Christ, I recognize the widest possible difference—so wide that to receive the one as good, pure, and holy, is of necessity to reject the other as bad, corrupt, and wicked. To be the friend of the one is of necessity to be the enemy of the other. I love the pure, peaceable, and impartial Christianity of Christ; I therefore hate the corrupt, slave-holding, women-whipping, cradle-plundering, partial and hypocritical Christianity of this land. Indeed, I can see no reason but the most deceitful one for calling the religion of this land Christianity…”
From "The Great Stain" by Noel Rae with regard to how Christianity was used to justify slavery in the 19th century:
RIP Lalo Shifrin, 93. He composed so much more than the original Mission: Impossible theme, but that was pretty cool though.

They had information that they were illegal brown immigrants from a foreign island called Guernsey.
Correction i4, not i3. Sorry for the typo...
The Ioniq 6 is a splendid vehicle. A low-mileage, manufacturer-certified BMW i3 or Mercedes EQE sedan might also fit the bill. I bought a CPO '22 Mercedes EQS 450+ about 15 months ago and love it, but it's probably too big for your tastes. Agree with other commenters that you shouldn't buy new.
A 15th floor view of the beach in North Myrtle Beach, SC.
I'm attending a conference at an oceanfront hotel in Myrtle Beach, where I last stayed in 2018. Compared to last time, the beach is much less crowded. Canadians are typically a big tourist contingent here and I am wondering if their boycott is the reason.

At a party given by a billionaire on Shelter Island, Kurt Vonnegut informs his pal, Joseph Heller, that their host, a hedge fund manager, had made more money in a single day than Heller had earned from his wildly popular novel Catch-22 over its whole history. Heller responds, “Yes, but I have something he will never have … enough.” Enough. I was stunned by the simple eloquence of that word—stunned for two reasons: first, because I have been given so much in my own life and, second, because Joseph Heller couldn’t have been more accurate. For a critical element of our society, including many of the wealthiest and most powerful among us, there seems to be no limit today on what enough entails. From The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel
For many very wealthy people, there is no such thing as "enough".
You beat me to commenting about the MAHA types (particularly HHS Secretary Swims In Sewage) performing medical experiments on all of us here.
Paul Krugman previously raised the question of what happens to TIPS if they start to fudge the inflation numbers. Fake economic statistics are definitely part of the authoritarian playbook. paulkrugman.substack.com/p/the-real-t...
How long did it take to unlace that fly when one urgently needed a bathroom break? I don't even like messing with button-fly pants much less laced ones.
There's a long, shameful history of coastal African-Americans being exploited in South Carolina and Georgia.
The photo is from 1912, prior to the Great Depression, but you make a good point since child labor was still legal until 1938. But, white kids did apparently stop working to go to school. Black kids, particularly in coastal SC, probably didn't. Seems like that would make black kids more productive.
I live in the Deep South surrounded by these sorts of dipshits. Trust me, when it's time to vote they'll say "something something AOC Green New Deal socialism welfare" and continue to support the fascists. Sadly, I have concluded that outreach to the older Fox News-poisoned cohort is hopeless.
As a native (white) South Carolinian, I am frankly surprised that they were using white children instead of black ones. I found some information on the photo on Beaufort County's tourist website although this is a weird thing to for them to highlight:

Take a big marker and write “DON’T TAKE POLITICAL ADVICE FROM YOUR POLITICAL OPPONENTS” on a trash can and put all stories of this nature in it.
I'm glad to know that I am not the only person who immediately thought "Isadora Duncan" when I saw that picture.
Isn't that basically all of them?
I distinctly remember going on a 5th grade field trip sometime in late '71 or early '72 to the then nearly-new nuclear plant in Hartsville, SC and being shown this film. I specifically recall the scene with the ping-pong balls and mousetraps. Alas, the visitors center is long gone now...
That only applies to blue states, I'm sure...
I drive a non-Tesla EV that is capable of charging at Tesla stations, but I'll be damned if I am going to spend a penny on any Elon-affiliated businesses. EV drivers should support alternative DC fast charging networks by patronizing them instead of Tesla, even if Tesla is currently more convenient.
