TIL that Claussen’s pickles are brined and packed in Woodstock, IL. No factory tours, sadly.
I live close to a large Target and have spent thousands there on diapers, wipes and other baby supplies alone in recent years. Joining the boycott a few months ago has been surprisingly easy and unremarkable.

"Bring me a thousand lifeboats."
the only problem with that show is how every few minutes, when they mention any house or Targaryen or whatever, I have to search it on the extremely in-depth Westeros wiki to learn all the fake history.
learning this TMG DADGAD info makes this dad glad.
Ethics, environmental issues and everything else aside, people on this site vastly underestimate how much of the tech industry is going to be effectively automated away by genAI. This binary of AI is bad at ___ and therefore it’s bad at everything is just silly. These jobs aren’t coming back.
...or you have family and other commitments that make leaving an extremely selfish option.
The latest polls seem to indicate that Stratton is seriously closing the gap. I wish Kelly would drop out and endorse her but seems like it's too late for that.
looking at this closer, that listing says "proposed grocer," so I wonder if this is all just a shady attempt by the property owner to attract tenants regardless of whether TJ is actually confirmed.
Vollman, the printer. They got a huge cast to do it, I listened to a bit after reading the book just to hear how they adapted it. Pretty cool use of the medium. www.avclub.com/nick-offerma...
I really hope they get Nick Offerman to do the same role he did in the audibook

what @patrickwyman.bsky.social is doing with his new series, Past Lives, is worth getting into for sure. I especially liked the recent episode about Maddalena, a woman who was enslaved by Cosimo de Medici.
congrats! preorder placed!
American NHL players are largely rich white men who spend all their time in a bubble with other rich white men, most of whom barely have a high school education. So you know, ideal trump voters.
Anyone looking for US men's pro hockey players to be some paradigm of liberalism and resistance is in for a bad time:

when we saw it in theaters (I believe on 4/20, 2013), I remember hearing two teens leaving the theaters and mournfully asking each other, "Why would Selena do that!?"
clarity of mind like this is enough to make this site worthwhile
Have you read Milch's memior? cannot recommend it enough!
Disappointing but not hugely surprising

What's your take on "The Killer Angels" as far as perpetuating Lost Cause mythos? I'm not proud to say that I made this argument on Reddit recently (and specifically how that book minimizes slavery as a motivator for the confederate generals) and was aggressively downvoted for it, to my surprise.
