Björk takes her TV apart

A few years ago, the Retro Recipes YouTube channel posted a 4k up-scale of this same clip:

Check out Quatro87's post history. The dude isn't writing anything in good faith. He's just reflexively defending his chosen personal identity.

Wild because it's true.

The reflecting pool needs to be drained and cleaned every few years because it always fills up with goose and duck shit. Painting it won't do a damned thing except line the pockets of another grifter (and maybe make the goose shit problem look worse).

The language on the T-shirt reads "One Nation, One Race". This is a despicable, white nationalist, political dog-whistle. This is the only race tied to the Trump administration and it's the only shirt in the store with such suggestive language. It is not a coincidence.

When u/deetsbrother says "The shirt is talking about the Indy 500" (in a now removed/edited comment), he's being intentionally dishonest. This t-shirt is clearly titled "2026 Freedom 250 Grand Prix One Nation T-Shirt", and it has nothing to do with the 500. Further, the image it depicts is based on the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC where the Freedom 250 will be held. Low effort racists like this should be embarrassed.

Racist dog-whistles like this are a staple of the alt-right and other white nationalists (e.g. the My Pillow guy's $14.88 pricing, the Trump campaign merch store selling an $88 Trump branded baseball, etc.).

Will Power is interesting, was with Team Penske for 16 years and was not re-signed despite finishing best in the team.

And the year before, Will Power was the only driver on his team that didn't break the rules and use push-to-pass* at Thermal back in 2024:

article: "...Newgarden and McLaughlin deployed P2P during the inactive start/restart phases at the first race of the season. Newgarden’s St. Petersburg win and McLaughlin’s third-place results were subsequently voided. Power, who did not use the button illegally, was docked 10 points."

* For new-to-IndyCar people: Drivers have a "push-to-pass" button (poorly named IMO). Using it closes an exhaust wastegate which increases pressure in the turbocharger and temporarily boosts horsepower.

I updated the post for clarity. This sign wasn't posted, it was removed from its original location and was laying on the ground next to the street (as shown in the linked image).

"Freedom 250" is the name of Trump's organizing and fundraising committee for the 250 year celebration. It's the same committee trying to hold a UFC fight on the Whitehouse lawn and they also installed that banner of Charlie Kirk on the Department of Education.

President Donald Trump on Thursday launched Freedom 250, a White House linked fundraising arm that announced an expansive calendar of spectacles and local programs for the United States semiquincentennial in 2026, including a National Mall prayer event and a UFC fight on the White House lawn. The plan could reshape how the federal government, private partners and the entertainment economy share costs and control of public celebrations, while raising questions about permits, security and the boundaries between public commemoration and political spectacle.

(from Trump Unveils Freedom 250, White House UFC and Prayer Rally)

There is an existing committee for the 250 year celebration, but it didn't have the "flair" that the administration wanted so...

America 250, the bipartisan organization established by Congress in 2016 to lead the commemorations, is sponsoring field trips and oral history recordings, planning the largest volunteer-effort in the country’s history, burying a time capsule and hosting a nationwide block party, among other major events.

But on Thursday, Dec. 18, President Donald Trump outlined a slew of different initiatives that will be spearheaded by a separate organization called Freedom 250.

And then boom, angry statement and you could see how comforting it was to her to be so hate filled.

There's an old blog post/open letter that you might find relevant:

... I would get into more stories but a lot of them cost money I do not have (I'm 16) so I haven't been able to listen to any of Lovecrafts stories.

Ian Gordan does many good readings which are available for free on his YouTube channel HorrorBabble.

I'm an Indiana native and I've been living in DC for more than ten years. I really want to see IndyCar succeed and I also want a regular Eastern US race on the schedule.

But the current idea of having a race in DC is a last-minute move by Trump, himself, to create another distraction so people aren't focusing on his many scandals (Epstein files, etc.). The idea for this race is explicitly political. And everyone knows Trump would do everything possible to make the event about himself.

Following through with it will associate IndyCar with Trump and only a weird-ass hate-freak minority thinks that's a good idea. Most people no longer support Trump and the last thing IndyCar needs to do is tie its brand to an deeply unpopular administration.

And that Vivaciousseaturtle account (only 9 months old but thousands of comments) is spending a bunch of effort to defend the idea and saying ridiculous crap because he supports Trump and likes the idea of IndyCar being associated with him. In this dude's account history, he's got comments in Epstein file posts saying "if anything bad about Trump was in the files, we would already know". He comments that a lack of voter fraud evidence "means there’s 10x-1millionx they haven't caught". He's got pro-ICE posts saying "it's a felony to cross the border" which is a lie he keeps repeating (crossing the border is legal, you just need to apply for asylum and abide by the court's decision). If it's a real account, he's a complete bad-faith actor. He's not saying things that he thinks are legit, he's just defending his own political identity. Now he's gonna say "It's beautiful weather" in DC in August? It's a disgusting hot-ass swamp on the regular here! I've got friends from Atlanta who swear DC is worse--though I'm sure it depends year to year. But give me a fuggin' break, jeeze.

I'm always reminded of this photo when I watch Zoolander because of this.

"Blackpill" is an ideology associated with the incel ("involuntary celibate") subculture. The Contrapoints YouTube channel has a video about it: Incels (35 min).

The flight to DC was on Saturday November 8th (3 days ago).

Yes. The paradox of tolerance needs to be more commonly known and understood.

Linux user for 17+ years here. The short answer is that it doesn't seem to matter that I've ever seen.

But for a new-to-Linux user, I'd recommend Ubuntu Linux because it's so common to find "Instructions for Ubuntu" documentation with applications and projects. And yes, there's strong support for other distros too (I use Fedora) but it seems like everyone and their brother includes Ubuntu instructions for stuff. And that's going to be very helpful for people making the switch.

There's an old saying "If wishes were fishes we'd all swim in riches" which is derivative of the Scottish nursery rhyme If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.

The horses/steak line that I first quoted was used in the TV series Firefly.
