Goddamn. And what mostly kills me about “tiny homes” is that, like… prefabs exist! Mobile homes exist! They’ve existed for a long time! But the cultural divide and associated stigma that has been cultivated by dipshits like David Brooks and his ilk has led a huge number of people to believe they’re too good for “trailer” living, so they opt to pay thru the nose for very little additional benefit.
Funnier if it just funneled all requests to the GeoGuessr dude.
Heh…my only real memory of the film from viewing it back in the day is Liev Schreiber’s time-traveling character snickering at the word “erection”. Clearly I should rewatch it!
Terriers - excellent 2010 caper-style dramedy series starring Donal Logue and Michael Raymond-James, created by the screenwriter behind “Oceans Eleven”. Relatable & endearing characters, compelling arcs, razor-sharp writing, wrapped in a noire detective plot set in sunny San Diego. Aired for just 13 eps on FX back in the day, only a couple of years before streaming platforms really hit big (and where it likely would have found its audience) and I’ve mourned “what could have been” ever since. Can’t recommend it enough, despite the final ep having a bit of a “lady or the tiger” ending. I urge you to seek it out.
Massie was and is extremely wrong about many issues IMO, but I’ll be damned if his backbone on this hasn’t given me some satisfaction. I guess being a bullheaded libertarian who sincerely believes in your principles can be an advantage when your naysayers are straight up hypocrites defending child-raping billionaires.
I do hope this move results in more support for the IA/Wayback Machine and helps them to update some of their crawler tech — thanks to the rise of AI, some sites are effectively (thru captchas etc.) or actively (through straight-up greed [coughRedditcough]) blocked from being archived almost entirely, which is frustrating for legit archivists/contributors.
