Erik Solomonson @eriksolomonson.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Yep. I think he was anti-German Nazi and eould have been sympathetic to Mosley if he had attracted a better crowd of brownshirts. 000
Erik Solomonson @eriksolomonson.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Vile Bodies by Evelyn Waugh as well. Sometimes fiction gives a more accurate depiction than scholarly history. I used to recommend The Comedians by Graham Green to read for those planning a trip to Haiti (now I just say "dont go, but read The Comedians anyway" 010
Erik Solomonson @eriksolomonson.bsky.social · 24/09/2026IMO the best person documenting it was P.G. Wodehouse's character Roderick Spode (based off Mosely). However Wodehouse did not like the fascists but, like most society Brits before the war, he seemed to think it was an organic predilection and he never shunned them. 050
Erik Solomonson @eriksolomonson.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Most of the "Bright, Young Things" turned Nazi eventually. By comparison Waugh was leaning a bit Bolshevik. Stephen Tennant probably would have goose-stepped too had he thought of something other than his appearance for more than 20 minutes 210
Erik Solomonson @eriksolomonson.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Here it is. archive.lewrockwell.com/shaffer/shaf... From 2004. It inspired a whole Pro-Scrooge Anti-Cratchet movement.archive.lewrockwell.comThe Case for Ebenezer by Butler Shaffer 001
Erik Solomonson @eriksolomonson.bsky.social · 01/09/2026I know the origin of this movie. It started with an essay on lewrockwell dot com. The essay is basically Scrooge was right and Scrooge was good. It was paired with a Christmas essay on how the Free Market provided for the baby Jesus. 110
Erik Solomonson @eriksolomonson.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Dunno. So many possibilities. Maybe someone getting skeletonized by a pack of raccoons after opening a youtube channel called "The raccoon whisperer" would be funny. 000
Erik Solomonson @eriksolomonson.bsky.social · 22/08/2026In college my girlfriend worked for the Nature Conservancy so we surveyed lots of areas and came across a feast with a dead deer. Not sure if black vultures vomit like that though. But it looks like you nay be the one to confirm this. Good luck and it is both poetic and gross and I hope you see it. 010
Erik Solomonson @eriksolomonson.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Black Vultures? Silly me for misidentifying something I have seen vomit 110
Erik Solomonson @eriksolomonson.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Do you know that jf you come up on a group of Turkey Vultures gorging themselves on carrion and startle them that they will all vomit in unison and fly away? 100
Erik Solomonson @eriksolomonson.bsky.social · 22/08/2026For crap soil I have been advocating chenopodium. Its very similar to spinach, grows like a weed (often seen as one) and is really good fried in olive oil and garlic powder. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chenopo... Mint also grows well in crap soil but can be destructive when it escapesen.wikipedia.orgChenopodium album - Wikipedia 000
Erik Solomonson @eriksolomonson.bsky.social · 22/08/2026I have had tinnitus since 1994. Occupational therapy for "dizzyness" and balance had the side effect of reducing the noise. The other thing that helped was getting allergies diagnosed and getting shots for them. Now my tinnitus is managable background noise. Good luck. 707 Headband vape helps too. 000
Erik Solomonson @eriksolomonson.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Two weeks ago I found chicken thighs for $1.99 per lb. That moment is the subject of an intricate back tattoo mural being done right now. 010
Erik Solomonson @eriksolomonson.bsky.social · 19/08/2026A fun one for Kids would be the multiple Flood narratives. One version of it has "Noah" and his wife still alive, having been rewarded with immortality for saving the world. 020
Erik Solomonson @eriksolomonson.bsky.social · 19/08/2026The Bible is an excellent account of how people living on the edge of empires both suffer an adapt. Moudhy Al-Rashid wrote an excellent book on Mesopotamia called Between Two Rivers, that is a good co-study book with the Bible. I can go on and on about this topic. 120

Erik Solomonson @eriksolomonson.bsky.social · 04/05/2026I have a routine at places that serve steak tartare. Escargot + Henri Bardouin pastis Salad with fizzy water. Steak Tartare with a Merlot Creme Brulee with Benadictine or Ice Wine Double espresso with a teaspoon of sambuca. 020
Erik Solomonson @eriksolomonson.bsky.social · 15/04/2026@luthercollege.bsky.social Is it true you have TPUSA on campus? Is it true that the only other external organization with Luther recognition are Habitat for Humanity and Special Olympics? 000
Erik Solomonson @eriksolomonson.bsky.social · 09/04/2026And con-ed must cool their water to below 90 degrees F before allowing it to go in the sewage system. Higher than 90 would bring swarms of rats into the streets fleeing the hot sewers. 010
Erik Solomonson @eriksolomonson.bsky.social · 09/04/2026There are also sensors that listen to the cables on all NYC's suspension bridges. The tone changes when they start to go slack so preventative maintenance can be done. 020
Erik Solomonson @eriksolomonson.bsky.social · 08/04/2026What kind of jelly? Grape and marmalade have a precedent with fish but peanut butter would be an american twist to an Iberian dish (Salted cod with must or raisins or lemon preserves) I approve of her modification of tradition 130
Erik Solomonson @eriksolomonson.bsky.social · 01/04/2026I live here and you are right. IPA and kettle sours is a way to cover up for sloppy brewing techniques. Also NYC has declined and our bagels are day old and policed by ny bagel supremists. 011
Erik Solomonson @eriksolomonson.bsky.social · 16/03/2026I had a rat in the basement. I set my cat after it and they just sort of stared at each other until the rat called "bullshit" and left. Here is the moment when I unleashed cat into the access area in the wall. 010
Erik Solomonson @eriksolomonson.bsky.social · 16/03/2026Squirrel is the basement? (sounds like a children's song) My experience with urban rodents is that squirrels prefer to nest somewhere high. If you have seen it then I get to learn something new about squirrels (always fun) but if not, then it might be a rat. 130
Erik Solomonson @eriksolomonson.bsky.social · 12/03/2026Trump is just the start of something much worse. We need to do whatever the lawful equivelent of a Dynastic Purge is to really protect our future 040
Erik Solomonson @eriksolomonson.bsky.social · 11/03/2026When Trump croaks the MAGA factions will fight and the Nazi faction will win and MAGA will follow along. The Democrats will snidely say "let them fight" instead of "get them while they are weak" 000
Erik Solomonson @eriksolomonson.bsky.social · 11/02/2026I did it in high school. It is sport that can be learned anytime. A friend did it until he was 100 (lived to 102) 000
Erik Solomonson @eriksolomonson.bsky.social · 11/02/2026I'mmmm....Gonna try this. Salty + Crunchy goes with sweet, cold and soft...Like Pretzels and ice cream. My lockdown invention was cocoa crispies, vanilla ice cream and Baileys 040

Erik Solomonson @eriksolomonson.bsky.social · 06/02/2026I want people to go lower. It catches them off-guard. Re-post but say "this man who has never known a woman's touch has a podcast, this is the shit he talks about" 010
Erik Solomonson @eriksolomonson.bsky.social · 02/02/202635 years ago I was hanging out at Timbuk3 dads bar in Fish Creek Wi and a guy who claimed I was gay said "queermos get holes easier" I said "what?" Holes! Holes! men want holes! Then Smiley kicked him out. 120

Erik Solomonson @eriksolomonson.bsky.social · 31/01/20261st quarter this year needs to show certain things to advertisers. So mailing list "slamming" always goes up. 000
Erik Solomonson @eriksolomonson.bsky.social · 28/01/2026I remember when Dan Rather interviewed his mom and his mom told him the GWB was a draft dodger who used cocaine 000
Erik Solomonson @eriksolomonson.bsky.social · 28/01/2026I have just started telling the ones I run into on x to "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" with no other context. Money? Social life? Sex life? it probably fits but they dont like to be told that 100
Erik Solomonson @eriksolomonson.bsky.social · 26/01/2026Also funny because the number of "Trucker Blockades of NYC" that these types tried during Biden Time with the logic of "NYC will starve without the food America produces" My family has owned the same farm in Minnesota since 1900. Now they think it doesnt produce food? 040
Erik Solomonson @eriksolomonson.bsky.social · 23/01/2026Its really weird. Years ago I bought a bunch of 1 gram silver "coins" to give out as gifts because they were square and kinda cool looking. Silver was at about $12 per troy oz then and I paid about $1 per gram..or $31 per oz....and now those gram coins are almost worth twice what paid 010
Erik Solomonson @eriksolomonson.bsky.social · 23/01/2026Win or lose we gotta push at least as hard for the truth about MAGA as the Neo-Confederates have pushed "the lost cause" for the past 125 years. That truth has to include that MAGA was a movement of pedophiles and protectors of pedophiles. 000
Erik Solomonson @eriksolomonson.bsky.social · 23/01/2026Class stratified societies must practice some form of human sacrifice to maintain the elite. Its never the "strongest warrior" or the "Virgin maiden" but rather the weak, sick and the elderly. They will claim circumstances caused death but the circumstances are dictated by the State and its patrons 000
