Family in Buffalo genuinely just asked me if I would rather go to “Adolf’s” or “Nine Eleven” for lunch and they were being completely sincere

[just-spacetrash]

in my little pony universe youd go to a job interview and theyd be like so how does your cutiemark reflect your dedication to this position. And every time youd have to spew some bullshit about how your cutiemark of two tennis rackets actually means youre a team player and good at multitasking and view the market like a playing field. or whatever. and you wouldnt even get the job

So the big pool thing. Did they not chlorinate it or what? Did they not know you have to chlorinate it? I'm really baffled about what the fuck even happened there. SURELY they chlorinated it.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

#Algae in the pipes#This isn’t the first time this has happened it’s become victim to new pond syndrome every time it’s been refilled in recent years#And they are treating the water#(Hydrogen peroxide not chlorine)#It shouldn’t have chlorine in it it’s massive and would fuck with the wildlife#The project itself is incredibly obnoxious but the pool turning green isn’t really an orange specific problem

Oh okay good. I was terrified that their level of incompetence, which is already comical, had jumped to truly incomprehensible. I am so relieved to learn that this makes sense and it's only their twitterposting that makes them seem unhinged about it.

See, you also don't want hydrogen peroxide in the water, either.

The administration either got rid of or didn't listen to people who could explain the algae problem, and decided that the problem was because other administrations were just stupid and didn't know how to take care of the pool, and also saw an opportunity for grifting some money.

So they painted the bottom of the pool dark blue, which absorbed more heat from the sun and made the algae bloom faster than ever. So they dumped hydrogen peroxide in it, which only killed the algae around the edges and also made the new paint job peel.

So folks were taking pieces of the bottom as souvenirs so now we have National Guard and deputies from several states who are just arresting people for as little as putting their hands in the pool.

[prince-atom]

Oh HEY so like, the Obama administration renovated the reflecting pool to draw from the Potomac rather than municipal water, and installed an extensive filtration system, and APPARENTLY at some point in the last 10 years Trump ripped it out or stopped maintaining it, and look, algae.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Everything stupid that they do is such a great metaphor for everything else stupid that they've done

[madgastronomer]

It's very likely that the paint was not appropriate for the usage to start with, and that that was on purpose. It's a standard shady really-the-mob contractor thing to guarantee more work, I'm told. It's quite possible that himself agreed to it, even, because he gives no fucks about national monuments, but does like handing out favors to friends, like this no-bid indefinite contract.

One of my friend's husband has a business building pools. His very technical response was:

“Donald’s trump mate who applied the surface is not very good.”

power chords were invented by indigenous (shawnee) musician link wray, who also made history when his song "rumble" became the first and only instrumental single banned from the radio in the us (way back in 1958!!!!!) "rumble" would go on to appear on shows like the sopranos and spongebob squarepants and films like pulp fiction

[neshamama]

100%

link wray popularized the modern "power chord" with distortion like the larsen effect in the late 1950s. this 1959 song "comanche" highlights his guitar techniques that played a role in the development of punk and metal.

playing that banned song in the 70s in san francisco:

after death, wray was featured in the 2017 documentary, RUMBLE: the indians who rocked the world. here is an article by one of his biographers if you would like to learn more:

The "Rumble" hitmaker, who grew up in Dunn, didn't embrace his Shawnee heritage until his forties.

Link Wray kicks ass. He wrote one of my favorite albums in a chicken shack and he played guitar so loud he had to put the speakers outside to record the songs. It’s the most “recorded in a chicken shack” album I ever heard in my life, listen to how recorded in a chicken shack this shit is

[sahonithereadwolf]

He's also arguable the first musician to use distortion because he used a cheap speaker with a hole punched in it, giving him a unique sound. After he got big, a bunch of white boys would imitate him by hunting down the model and manually punching a hole in it with a pencil
