¡Tú! ¡Sí, tú! ¡Estarse quieta, chaval!
In my head I'm trying to yell it in that same rough accent. It sounds menacing.
This is beautiful. There's no internet like old internet.
Apparently there is a whole series of these. It sounds like a great excuse to do some traveling and visit a few pubs.

On April 21, 1966, members of the Mattachine Society, a pioneering gay rights organization, challenged a regulation that prohibited bars from serving LGBT people by staging a "Sip-In" at Julius', a bar with a large gay clientele.
With reporters and a photographer in tow, the activists announced that they were homosexuals, asked to be served, and were refused. This early gay rights action and the attendant publicity helped to raise awareness of widespread anti-LGBT discrimination and harassment. Julius' was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.

This pub has been granted the
James Joyce Pub Award
for being an authentic Irish pub'A good puzzle would be to cross Ireland
without passing a pub.' UlyssesJames Joyce identified and described the
characteristic ambience of Dublin pub life
so successfully that the characters in Ulysses
may be fictional, but they are based on a
multitude of living beings, characters who
Joyce found in pubs just like this one.
This establishment remains an outstanding
example of the tradition which
Joyce immortalised in his works and is a
truly authentic public house which
throughout the years has retained
it's down to earth genuineness of
atmosphere, friendliness and
presence of good company.James Joyce [signature]

If it wasn't already abundantly clear, the current administration gives zero fucks about the judiciary.
The folks that host the toast.ooo instance have run an event like that for us the past two summers. Check out [email protected] to see last year's result, and watch for news about the next one.
This reminds me that I need to plan some art for the next event!
This is too credible.
Or are they all left-side drive?

On March 28, 1979, and for several days thereafter — as a result of technical malfunctions and human error — Three Mile Island's Unit 2 Nuclear Generating Station was the scene of the nation’s worst commercial nuclear accident. Radiation was released, a part of the nuclear core was damaged, and thousands of residents evacuated the area. Events here would cause basic changes throughout the world’s nuclear power industry.

Earl Scruggs was the most influential and most imitated banjo player in the world. On December 8, 1945. He joined Bill Monroe's band and helped give birth to bluegrass music when he introduced his innovative and exciting 2-finger style of playing 5-string banjo on WSM-Radio's Grand Ole Opry.
Before Earl's Opry debut, 5-string banjos had become widely thought of as stage props used only by comedians playing rowdy old-time styles. Earl's refined musicianship electrified audiences and banjo sales skyrocketed, his way of picking became known around the world as "Scruggs Style."
In early 1948, Earl and Lester Flatt formed a band that Earl's loving wife, Louise, began managing in 1966, "Flatt & Scruggs" became one of the most successful country music acts of the era. In 1962, Flatt & Scruggs provided the banjo-driven music for the theme song of the hit TV series, The Beverly Hillbillies. The 1967 film, Bonnie and Clyde, featured their 1949 recording of Earl's composition, "Foggy Mountain Breakdown."
Flatt & Scruggs split up in 1959 and Earl found many new fans when he bridged generations and musical genres by forming the "Earl Scruggs Revue" with sons Gary and Randy. It was a pioneering band in merging country and bluegrass sounds with elements from rock music. Youngest son, Steve, also became a musician and joined the Revue.
In his latter years, Earl's musical journey continued with his "Family & Friends" band, standing ovations awaited him at every turn, and Earl remained the modest and unpretentious man he had always been throughout his legendary career.
Earl Scruggs, who was also a gifted guitarist, was a true icon in the music world and an inspiration to countless musicians, though his strings are now silent, echoes of his sparkling Scruggs-style sound will linger in the air forever.

Cabins once lined roadsides in the Delta
Known as shotgun shacks, these houses were common in the Mississippi Delta near agricultural fields. Each home featured three to five rooms with no hallway just a series of doors leading from room to room. They were called shotgun houses because you could shoot a shotgun through the front door and it would go out the back door without hitting a wall.Sharecroppers lived here
From 1865 until the 1960s, sharecropping was used in the Delta. A plantation owner would supply a home to a sharecropper's family. In exchange, the workers (both black and white) would farm "on shares" and settle up with the landowner at the end of the season. Once the owner deducted expenses, however, the families received little profit.Comforts were limited
With no insulation, these single-wall houses were often freezing in winter and blazing hot in summer. Pages of newspaper were used as wallpaper, adhered with glue made from flour.Mechanical cotton pickers replaced sharecroppers
When workers moved north to find better paying jobs in the 1930s, owners discovered faster, cheaper ways to harvest their cotton. The Rust mechanical cotton picker (above), introduced in 1935, picked in an hour what four workers would need a day to gather.Few shotgun shacks remain
This symbol of the South is rapidly disappearing. This shack was located on the Helena Plantation before being moved here. Though less than half the size of a complete cabin, this home depicts the type where many Southerners were born, including McKinley Morganfield (Muddy Waters), who lived in a shotgun shack until he was three.
