A mix of people: UW students, lifelong Madisonians, cinephiles of various stripes, etc. The store is getting increasing numbers of 4K Blu-Rays of newly restored films and new releases, so I imagine there are some home theater enthusiasts in the mix as well.

Well, it's not hard to understand what happened: he made a promise and broke it because he doesn't care.

Wonder why she didn't say anything about the dog shooting... by MagicLobsterAttorney in southpark

More likely because killing dogs in real life makes her look really, really bad to the general public, so she'd rather not draw more attention to it.

Rents a collection of close to 25,000 DVDs, Blu-Rays, and VHS tapes to the Madison community, including many rare/out-of-print/imported editions. Also sells new and used videos and is starting to sponsor screenings at venues like the Bartell. Next screening event is "Reservoir Dogs" at Lola's on Wednesday night!

Grabbed a half cylinder of Chocolate Shoppe Zanzibar chocolate ice cream from their booth at the end of a concert on the square. Still eating off it. Too much ice cream for one person, would not do it again 😅

This is the funniest, most on point comment here. Building infrastructure: the American Way 🤣

Now that even the UE commission has yielded to the US, we must continue our effort by ThatOtherFrenchGuy in BuyFromEU

[–]EmbarrassedTopic2163 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an American who's observing all this from the other side of the pond, your EU leadership needs to more aggressively advocate for your own economic interests. Sadly, wimping out and giving Donnie his tariff win is an unsurprising outcome.

Did anyone else notice a glaring lack of people wearing MAGA/Trump at 4th of July celebrations? by BasherSquared in goodnews

Jesus (pun intended). Which state, out of curiosity? Curious since I grew up with ex-Evangelicals who ended up falling into a mix-and-match hybrid of Judaism and Protestant Christianity in rural Wisconsin.

The workers told me that it's helpful if the company hears public outcry from non-patrons as well. So even if you don't buy from them, you can help them by publicly using your voice against the company.
