brooks cannot accept, process, or even consider that the world changes and evolves outside of his own calcified and narrow view. like ever

Recently I took a friend with only a high school degree to lunch. Insensitively, I led her into a gourmet sandwich shop. Suddenly I saw her face freeze up as she was confronted with sandwiches named "Padrino" and "Pomodoro" and ingredients like soppressata, capicollo and a striata baguette. I quickly asked her if she wanted to go somewhere else and she anxiously nodded yes and we ate Mexican.

norway was quite good for veg food until the pandemic. it's a small market and it's not part of the eu, and pretty much everything even a little adventurous or fun vaporized in 2021. the veg section at the grocery store looks like this these days (the lower rows are all meat)

gavin newsom does consistently terrible things, and he has the kind of authoritarian hair that strongly suggests he will abandon you at whatever moment most suits his ambition

it blows my mind that we're in a place where the right is using images like these to represent. . . what, the ideal? what they think people want? what an inversion, a total hellscape

a lot of things qualify as 'creeping authoritarianism' or 'aspiring fascism' but removing a long-abandoned traffic hazard from a public road is not among them www-nrk-no.translate.goog/sorlandet/ba...

Boat abandoned in 80-speed zone for three months: - Dangerous to traffic
An ownerless, old boat has been abandoned on a road with an 80-speed zone in Tvedestrand for several months. Now locals fear that serious accidents will occur.

- The boat is a potential danger to motorists and someone could be hit. Now we are heading towards a time when the autumn darkness is also falling, says Stig Roar Brandslet.
Brandslet meets NRK on Navestadveien in Tvedestrand.
The boat has been parked here for over three months, on a flat tire trailer.

case by case. i’d integrate them all but they often don’t fit in these shelves. i do try, whenever possible, to incorporate comprehensive single-album sets into the alphabet
