Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.
Watching the wire for the first time and Vondas is drinking what obviously seems to be a Greek/Turkish coffee. Why the fuck is he being served a drip coffee?! Immersion broken. 0/10.
