Moe: Who's flying this thing anyway? Larry: I think we're gonna have to bring her in, we're a quart low Moe: Whaddya mean, there should be enough gas in this bird to get us to the west coast! Curly: The plane's fine, it's the pilot who's a quart low!

Maha is just another astroturfed front in the American Reactionary Movement. This movement is responsible for every public health crisis: climate, automobile deaths, gun violence, homelessness, poverty. Its the Don't Tell Me What To Do movement. They are few but they're mobilized for war.

If you miss the “house” thing of Harry Potter spend time figuring out what kind of communist you are instead. Simple as

Great Value cola isn't the best cola, it's not even the same cola from one bottling to the next. The complex variability makes it more like a wine. It can be really shitty or enchanting. I mourn the $0.25 Sams Choice 12oz can vending machine (the only thing colder than the tile under my bare feet)
