Something about this really bothers me.

They don’t even have to be privatized. Some municipalities in the US require a “beach tag”. I lived on a barrier island growing up, and we had to buy ours every year, or go to the beach two towns over where it was free (…except where it was privatized).

We’re only up to three so far, but we’ve got time.

I agree with everything you say until the end. It’s disingenuous to say that residents do not take the highway. It runs through the middle of the city! We all take the damn highway.

If it wasn’t part of the point, the title would just say “guests”.

And an even higher percentage are directed at women. Racist and misogynistic at the same time.

Yeah, no. It’s not compliance through propaganda; it’s compliance through direct threat of homelessness and starving to death.

I’ve been hearing the term for years.

Ground beef has long been considered poor people food in the US. It’s gotten too expensive to still feel that niche, but that is the niche it used to fill.

“Ecoterrorism” has historically been used to describe terrorism which is in support of environmental causes.

This is something special which needs a new name.

Still rare. Won’t be rare in the future.

I understand. I just don’t agree in this instance. Comes across as more of the typical painting male as the norm.

Does it really matter in tiny instances like this? Maybe, maybe not.

the creation of the ballroom in the East Wing of the White House

What east wing of the White House?

And anyway, he’s already getting his fucking ballroom.

I could have sworn that this is the cover of one of my many cookbooks, but it’s just an AI photo in the style of a few books that I have.

In Japan, women actually were historically well represented when it came to performing music. Certainly in the upper classes, anyway.

In fact, you should add a little bit of salt, not sugar. Helps them to sweat and caramelize a little faster/better.

It really doesn’t take much attention–just an occasional stir. Does take a while, though.

Would we call them “male musicians” if they were all men?

It was not at the White House.
