Aw, apparently it closed in 2001 due damage from a 2,500 gallon liquid sugar overflow. The paper referred to it as a freak accident. Pity.
Pretty cool except for the part where I was really terrified and now my knees are all dizzy.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Ha! Boston outdid that one with an actually quite terrifying Molasses Flood, which killed a bunch of people.
Glad Biden preemptively pardoned a bunch of people that Trump has threatened. I'm purposely not reading up about the new executive actions, because I'm going to vomit if I do.

I remember reading a book as a kid about the molasses flood!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Don't. They will still be there when you're ready.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Teppy, a friend from high school found those same type of flyers in her neighborhood in my home town.
We have a pretty robust Mexican immigrant community in my hometown. Which, ironically, is the home of Tom Metzger (founder of WAR—White Aryan Resistance—behind the neo-Nazi resurgence in the 80s).
As the executive orders started flying, I started getting depressed.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Elon's Nazi salute was really the capper on the whole shittastic day for me.

I'm pretty down, I have to say. Gotta go back into the office tomorrow and spend some time talking down my staff and trying to figure out if we're all going to get fired for not returning to the office full-time. (Half my team is full remote, are days away from the office!)

Yikes. Good luck Suela—are they part of a union? Is that allowed?
The nazi salute really was the last straw for me. What the actual fuck.
