Automobiles at the Minneapolis Municipal Market (1937) 262 Lyndale Ave. N Source: Hennepin County Library Munsingwear and Cedar Lake Ice and Fuel Company are in the background left to right.

I cannot morally justify paying or enlisting in subscription services. Whether it’s a streaming service like Netflix, an app, or online publication, the “business plan” that they must diminish in value over time must not be sustained. Print newspapers and PBS are the only exceptions.

I have boycotted all corporations today. I have also boycotted them before and after this moment, for the most part. Only companies that align shall be patronized, with the caveat that some adversarial patronage(shopping where the seller loses money) may be employed.

I think people really need to start thinking about not spending their money where asshole tyrants might benefit. It really should be the number one goal, after one’s familial success.

One thing that pisses me off to no end is the recognition of Kenny G. This fucker is nothing, compared to the great saxophonists of the 80s. Tim Capello, really?!! Of Tina turner and Lost Boys fame? Dick Parry?!, really?!

I know this may be niche and sort of a joke, but really the guy has zero talent, compared to the greats. The fact he is a huge corporate shill is just icing on the cakes.

Imagine it’s 1944, and you had the opportunity to blow Hitler’s brains out in heroic fashion, as a German citizen. How shall we view this person, who acted morally, yet against its nation’s current laws?

Getting into my ridiculously large and warm jacket phase. Much like the situation where cars used to be made taller to accommodate top hats (1920’s-50’s), these 70’s relics were suitable for a big bench seat an not today’s bucket abominations.
