  • Jimmy: “Mane n’ Tail.” Is this horse shampoo?

    Chazz: Yes, it is.

    Jimmy: Do you use this stuff on your hair?

    Chazz: Uh-huh.

    Jimmy: “For a lustrous coat.” Does this actually work?

    Chazz: You bet your ass it does. It makes my hair shine like Orion’s belt…

    Let’s be real… he’s exhibiting this in an art museum in NYC. And he’s still working as a TV and film composer.

    Also the whole idea of taking one of the finest, rarest specimens of something the universe produces naturally and making it ugly for the sake of these billionaires seems incredibly dumb.

    You suggest the real reason for doing it. So a billionaire can own it and say “see, I’m not one of the bad billionaires, because I’m in on the joke.”



  • Hey, I’m just a lurker on this discussion, but I’m going to assume you’re asking an honest question here and not sealioning. If you really want to take action, I’d recommend looking at changing policy at the local level. I believe California has recently passed a couple laws that do things like disallow mandatory gratuities for large groups, and increase minimum wage for service workers. So if you want action items:

    • easy: look up the specifics of those California laws, and look up similar laws across the country, and see if any of them could fly in your municipality or state. next time the politicians come calling, say: “what are you doing to implement [policy]?”
    • medium: if you don’t think any existing policies would solve the problem, then try to think of what policy would.
    • hard: instead of tipping, save up that cash, keep track of it. figure out what organizations in your region could help implement those policies, contact them directly, and tell those organizations that you’ve saved up money that you’re willing to donate to help implement better policies.





  • Ostensibly these are for searching/categorization, but people often use them to write out responses to posts so that their followers can reblog the it without bringing their comment along (Tumblr just puts all replies into a single extended post so it’s a bit cumbersome to have long comment chains). The tags are visible in the “notes” section of the post, so people can still see it.

    wtf. and they say the fediverse is confusing…

    Mildred sounds like a lot of fun.

    • is the chief wit at her monthly book club, where everyone is a published author
    • serves tea with strange flavors that you’ll never taste again (and leave you feeling a little… dizzy)
    • can tell you your future just by talking with you for 5 minutes - with 90% accuracy
    • understands that the 1980 BBC miniseries of Pride & Prejudice is the best Austen adaptation ever
    • knows more about gardening than most horticulturists
    • when she insults you, you don’t realize it until weeks later.
