That's $355 per pair of pants. Lululemon isn't that expensive. This has to be some sort of drug reporting price markup business.

Well if you're raiding a Lululemon I don't know what else you could steal. But apparently they are specifically targeting those stores to steal yoga pants? Is this some really specific form of fashion crime?

I’m guessing that Lululemon had built a big enough name to make their products desirable, but they’ve built that name with people who can’t afford Lululemon apparel.

Someone screencapped it, I hope, but it was basically "people used to think Jazz was a rich white men's gig, but now it's becoming more open" or something. Got utterly demolished by people noting the actual provenance of Jazz.

Either that or it’s a poorly worded eye grabber which seems to imply holocaust denial. In other news, following up on Nazi dad (article randomly recommended to me by google):

Kentucky Dad Apologizes For Father-Son Nazi Halloween Costumes

Relevant bit:

quote:

While Goldbach dressed as a Confederate soldier for Halloween last year, he denied being a racist, referring to white supremacy as “disgusting.”

“I wasn’t trying to make a statement or put my son in any position,” he told The Owensboro Times. “It was bad judgment. I want people to know I am sorry.”

Prior to its closure, Goldbach’s Facebook page was riddled with slogans such as “White pride doesn’t mean hate” and “Being liberal means being a hypocrite,” per the Evansville Courier & Press. Although Goldbach did not respond to a request for comment, a series of screenshots were provided to HuffPost of various anti-semitic comments made by his wife, MaryAnne, following the incident:

The quotation doesn’t say “in US history”. That was added after the fact as a qualifier, which makes it accurate but also makes the quotation itself stand out without the qualifier.

There are plenty of ways to describe this terrible event. Going with “the deadliest attack on the Jewish community” even when qualifying it is probably a bad idea when one of the deadliest atrocities ever visited upon an ethnic community was in living memory on the same community.

I love that the metal worker who copped to putting the nail was hoping that it would “lure” the hammer.

Like the thieves would go “That’s a big... nail... waaaaait a minute! We have a big hammer, let’s go nail that fucker in the rest of the way!”

I.. I can no longer believe this is the real world anymore. I am increasingly convinced I am in a bio-pod being put through increasingly unlikely simulations run by extra-terrestrials. Particularly adolescent extra-terrestrials.

But they have gone too far and tipped their hand. I am now on to them. All my efforts will be bent toward finding a way out for all of us. I may be out of communication during my times in my garden-shed wrapped in copper mesh. Do not be concerned, I will send coded updates from time to time.

Please keep this information to yourself. We have no way of knowing who is real and who is a simulat placed to monitor to us.

Stay strong. I will find a way.

In the Matrix when Agent Smith is talking to Morpheus, he tells him the original Matrix was a paradise for people but our minds rejected it. I feel like this might be what the rejection started to look like, when reality just starts to go to complete poo poo.

New Hampshire's state leg is weird as hell. It's hardly in session, they pay a pittance, and there are a ton of reps and senators. This means that lots of weirdos get elected because there's so little incentive to run for people without an axe to grind.
