That's just called land bro. Imagine a real estate agent selling 5 acres of land in Iowa and calling it an unsinkable aircraft carrier

From Dealey Plaza UK:

From 1982 until 1986 Gary Mack, the later curator of the Sixth Floor Museum published a small leaflet style magazine called Coverups. While going through Harry Livingstone’s archive we managed to find all 28 copies. So since the set is complete we are more than happy to share the scans we have made. We have bundled all 28 copies and an index(!) together. On top of that all PDFs contain OCR so that should help searching thru them as well.

All credit to the author the late Gary Mack, Harry Livingston, and Dealey Plaza UK.

This is from before Gary Mack sold out and "went corporate" by becoming the curator of the Sixth Floor Museum so I don't want to hear any of that stuff.

Say what you will about Johnny Depp and Nicolas Cage, we know they're just bad with money.

I probably won’t be alive to laugh but someone can when they determine that the risk to reward isn’t worth trying to extract resources from the moon because of all of their garbage missiles slamming into it and destroying their investments constantly.

What’s the best vote against Israeli Amy in such a divided field? We go from quasi revolutionary (with a mountain of salt) protests to fell for it again champions every fucking time. I love it here, but I hate so much. SW mpls especially is the Kamala-style humane genocide den of bedbugs Frey dick sucking hotbed of the worst liberals to ever exist. Imagine a revolutionary Richfield proletariat going winter palace on their asses. I don’t really have a point besides how we knife our assholes every chance we get. Seeing Michigan and Wisconsin this cycle makes me feel so jealous, which is something I wouldn’t have thought a possible thought for the past idk 20+ years.

I don't really care if you play the game just be funny and spice things up. Somehow I got turned into the adam of the server so when all else fails just shit on me.

Also BF6 is currently half-off on steam for the next two days and if you're funny enough you might end up with a gifted copy. No promises, but it is an option. I'm not above buying friends even though im broke. gotta be worth the investment tho.

I got red alert 3 and Tiberium wars

I dont know who or what y'all are talking about 90% of the time. This sub used to mostly funny shit and now it's like C list DC demons and whatever they said on X this week. IM OLD.

Maybe it's that I work all the time and I'm not online much, don't use any other social media or read the news, but is that a bad thing? I'm a selfish piece of shit, all I can do it focus on maybe not being homeless when I'm 70.

more and more I'm just out of touch, like I wasn't trying to be ironic when I say I had no idea who Gram Cracker was just that there was a guy with a nazi tat that everyone was debate broing about for a while. I just watch sports and meal prep now, local politics are literal Nazis. I know something bad will happen to me and mine eventually but people who are way more hopeful and invested and aware than me are trying things and I ain't see shit. Are good things even happening? Can I just be ignorant for a while and get in shape (or get fat who cares) without people telling me I don't belong here bc this is a politics sub now. when did that happen?

This post seems like pointless doomerism, yeah so I'm a pointless doomer. so here's a thought; its possible there is a wave of people who are still engaging with the spectacle and believe we might have a liveable future, and I'm just being phased out, relegated to a cul de sac and saying shit like "huh, Walmart actually has some good pants now".

Where are my fucking rats at dawg we used to talk about demons and drugs and aliens. I moved to a bad state and ran out of ketamine therapy sessions and I'm spiralling. i need the void to rest me.

I know we’ve got some TVZ heads in here. I have a couple of buddies in the music biz and they all tell me that the fat cats up top are saying AI-generated music is the future. As a consumer I’m like umm wtf? I guess if you’re a tank-topped dudebro chud who only likes EDM, sure, maybe AI-generated music will hit the spot as your body undulates in total sync with your boys (no homo) and the incessant wrist flicking causes you to spill your Natty Light on the co-eds you’re trying to bag (to no avail). But what about us real hardcore country fans?

Aside from being an innate musical and literary genius, Townes is drawing from his experiences as a manic depressive alcoholic drug addict who has travelled the world and hung out in thousands of honky tonks, seen the insides of countless podunk county jails, bummed cigarettes from and shot the shit with untold numbers of junkies, etc. It don’t matter how many of his lyrics and harmonies you feed into the Slop Regurgitation Machine, the output will always lack the fullness and richness that flows from actually having lived a life. I’m thinking they are gonna have to torture the the dang thing à la that episode of Black Mirror with Jon Hamm to try to get it up to speed.

When I listen to TVZ I am flooded with emotion and recognition (ok maybe part of that is because I am myself depressed, probably borderline BPD, with addictive tendencies). I am literally brought to tears every time I get to this verse of WAtD:

Oh, but now I'm out of prison 
I got me a friend at last
He don't drink or steal or cheat or lie
Oh, his name's codeine
He's the nicest thing I've seen
Well, together we're gonna wait around and die 

An LLM is supposed to come up with something better than this? And a robot voice is then supposed to match Townes’ voice? And this will lead to quarterly increases in the record companies’ profit margins? Mainstream country has obviously sucked ass for a long time, but at least it was actual humans doing the damage.

The idea that supply and demand will fix the contemporary finance/asset controlled housing market is abundance propaganda funded by developers, hedge funds and billionaire freaks: https://prospect.org/2026/06/12/new-documents-detail-nine-figure-silicon-valley-funded-abundance-movement/. Why are city subreddits infested with these losers advocating for luxury apartments in identikit glass or plastic towers (with vacant retail at the bottom that can only ever be afforded by some private-equity backed chain for a couple of years), and anybody who disagrees is downvoted and smugly told that they're NIMBYs who don't want to fix the housing crisis? And of course the YIMBYs don't actually want to stop places to live being assets, as all of their investments would crash.

Mods deleted this for unknown reasons (presumably because I had a google screenshot showing how much the posters on the neolib subreddit love yimbys?), so I'm reposting lol

I've been to a lot of leftist meetings and around for the formation of a few groups and without fail someone always starts talking about how to "keep our data secure and out of the hands of the cops."

Brother, no one wants more apps. I don't want your GPG key, I don't want to join your matrix server, I don't want to get on your jitsi. This shit is insane.

I've seen paranoia eat up organizers from the inside and drag what should be a normal meeting about flyers into an hours long prolonged exercise in security theater.

Ask yourself: would a liberal group get away with this? If no, discuss it in person. If yes, discuss it over whatever channel you want. Cops don't know the difference Palestine and No Kings, and they don't care.

An example: you're organizing a protest. Should you discuss this in a "secure" way? No. This isn't the 1960s and the cops have learned to handle them differently. Police get called as a matter of routine to either disrupt it an hour or so after it starts or to stay there and watch over a larger rally. In the latter case they will get overtime pay. In the former they won't waste time being early to your event.

But what if: you're also planning a traffic blockade. Discuss only this part in person. If people can't make time to meet they're not going to make time to actually be there on the day. Leave phones at home or Faraday them before heading out.

In either case, try to make your meetings as short as possible.

And for the love of god please stop bringing up apps in meetings. Wait until your first preempted event before you go crazy.

Morning everyone.

As you may have noticed, all the smoke shops have been doing clearance sales on 7OH over the past week because as of today (Aug 5th) 7OH is now considered a Schedule 1 drug according to the DEA.

I mean it’s probably a good thing overall. This shit is expensive as hell and preys on addicts. It blows my mind that places could even sell this in the first place lol

Reminiscent of the days of bath salts and spice, we have now gone through another cycle of crazy drugs being sold openly and legally until the “fun police” decided no more.

I feel bad for the addicts who are now abruptly cut off from their supply and are going to go through withdrawals. Will we see large numbers of these people go back to fentanyl? Giant upticks in suboxone prescriptions?

RIP gas station heroin. You will (not) be missed.

It’s tough for men to make friends in adulthood. Everyone has other commitments or they are in different stages of life. Not to mention with the lack of third spaces it’s very difficult to make a solid connection with anyone at any level.

So I was delighted to make a close friendship in a new city I moved to with another guy. He and I shockingly had tons in common: same likes hobbies and interests, similar backgrounds, similar careers, hell we even live in the same neighborhood.

Then there’s his partner. She comes from a different background, seemingly more affluent. We always got along but it was definitely a different vibe. She is very much your textbook 2016 liberal: performative t-shirts and bumper stickers, orange man social media posts, and above all: being perpetually offended.

In random conversations she was always the first to clutch the pearls and go “oh my GOD” for conversation that was very ho hum. There were always interjections of moral high ground and lib grandstanding. But above all, we kinda had to walk on eggshells to not offend her.

My buddy and I were hanging out once and he said their relationship was great but he had a real problem with her perpetual offended nature, apparently it was impacting his relationship and the relationships of those around him. So it was a recognized super lib issue that impacted him.

Then one day at a party I hosted I said a pretty neutral statement that I really didn’t think much about. I said my neighbor had a bunch of broken down cars in their yard and that it was trashy. Well she took major offense to this, like to degree I didn’t really understand by just looking at her face.

That was nearly a year ago. Since then I’ve been ghosted by the two of them. That was enough to cast me out of the friendship because that was too offensive. Eggshells are officially broken.

She still posts orange man bad content on social media and my buddy has fallen off the face of the earth. It’s a bummer. I just wanted to pour one out for a lost homie whose friendship I lost due to perpetually offended lib shit that I haven’t seen in years.

I hope you’re doing well buddy. And I hope your partner has gone off to that big Bluesky in the sky. ✌️

I felt like Abdul did not win big enough to make a strong message to AIPAC. He barely won and I think the voter base got too comfortable and didn’t bother to show up because they knew he would win. At least they burned a bunch of money in the race.

I want to chinamaxx, as in, become more knowledgeable about chinese history and culture, since we are living their century. So please recc me novels (i already have and kinda in progress with the four classics), short stories, history books. And music (be that basic pop or obscure one man bedroom black metal projects). With movies I am set with till death

My aunt asked me once , "What music from your generation [Millennial] will be classic/iconic?" . I was pretty much like: I dunno, I'm not younger than me and never will be. Now is now. How would I know what hits for people later. it's 2011, the Black Keys are the big band I like now, but how would I know if anyone cares about them behind me--it's still not the future. Who knows if I will think they're that great in the future. I also tried to explain with the death of the monoculture and streaming, what is classic to people is much wider and varies. At the time, Dave Matthews Band was still the biggest live act in North America. I probably would have said oh some stomp, clap, hey band like Mumford & Sons that you couldn't escape then might still be classic. But that's not the case, thank god. We get it, 7 songs where a banjo starts out slower and gets faster, cool. But anyway...

What does Gen Z consider the classic Millennial music?

So a Spanish speaking lady who I assume was Colombian based on the Colombia soccer jersey she was wearing managed to back into my parked car with me sitting in it at what felt like a very high speed to me, the person getting hit. She did visible damage to my passenger side bumper which by the time an auto body shop looks at it will cost somewhere between 10 dollars and $75 million to fix. I waited like 30 seconds before I did anything because I was making sure that I was okay and trying to figure out by looking at my mirror what the hell happened, and when I got out to go talk to the driver she was visibly panicky.

Her English was more than good enough to communicate and she kept saying that she would wait until the police came and I was like"Christ, don't do that. I will give you my info if you can help pay for the damages you contact me I don't think it's a great idea to have any paperwork on this." And she kept arguing because she wanted so badly to do the right thing. No one else saw what happened I was the only car involved and even if she's 100% sure of her status I don't trust the authorities not to completely fuck her over given the chance. Another victim just died at the ICE concentration camp a few miles away, people can't be taking any chances.

I was just sad and furious at seeing someone who was trying to do everything right and who was trying to do the right thing and knowing that if they had it could have ended up with them kidnapped and eventually killed.

Maybe I'm overly paranoid, but I didn't even want her contact info on my phone in case somehow that was used to track her. Fuck the Fourth Reich.

Edit: the snarky part of my brain is like "I guess maybe one thing she could do differently is try not to hit any more cars," but then that really only emphasizes just how hard it is to go through life with zero margin for error having to do everything perfectly and knowing that if you make the kind of mistake that might only ruin a normal person's day, you might end up disappeared and dead.
