The only people screaming NO louder than any sane American when the votes were being tallied was the NRA, because they could see their profit lines spike down harder than any other time post 9/11. I wonder if there were more gun shows during the Obama years too.

This goes back aways in the thread, but I stumbled across a blog post a few days ago that may explain DropBox's misguided attempt at redesigning their website: Brutalism in web design

I’ve seen people claim it’s a dragon (Robarts is on the U of T St. George campus, and that dude apparently slayed him some dragons), but no one really buys it. Though it does strangely warm my heart that it pops up on pretty much every internet discussion of weird/terrible architecture I’ve ever encountered. Especially because most of the campus is really gorgeous.

The point of brutalism is to make it so that your populace is so depressed and downtrodden they don't think of rebelling against your authoritarian regime. That being said, I love Brutalism in all its forms. The Harold Holt Swim Center* in Melbourne is one of my favourites. It's hideous. *named after our Prime Minister who famously drowned.

I figured brutalism was an outgrowth of cheap slapped-together socialist architecture deciding to run with it and make intimidating geometric concrete monstrosities as a counterpoint to previous and contemporary gaudy architectural styles.

Though he went swimming in a stretch of coast that was a complete deathtrap with dangerous rips and rocks where people disappear and drown regularly, the only thing exceptional about it was that he happened to be the Prime Minister. Still, it's led to lots of fun conspiracy theories.

Megabus is super cheap and I use them all the time but the trade-off is the bus is usually 30+ minutes late and it typically stinks of piss from the overflowing on-board toilet.

I guess there'll be lots of arguments over whether it's truly "dumb" to piss people off, but it's definitely gonna piss a lot of people off. (I am assuming 6.66 is less than it usually costs, otherwise that would definitely be dumb)

I keep hearing this John Lewis ad on Spotify which advertises Siemens washing machine - the thing though is that I can't hear Z in the beginning, or S in the end, so it sounds as, well, semen. I'd save the ad somehow, but don't really know how.
