The state and corporations will absolutely protect themselves with extreme violence.

Also, it’s nice to see a link to the anarchist library instead of Amazon.

My wife and I have been abusing our Ryobi for like 10 years. I thought it was finally dying, but then I got a new battery, still going strong.

I always start with harbor freight. When I break that one, I buy a nice version of whatever it was. I don’t buy “nice” tools very often. HF is nearly always “good enough.”

I was super precious about all my cast iron for a long time. Then I had a thought watching this “cowboy” YouTuber wash his cast iron with some specialty thing.

“This fucking guy is like pretending to be out on the pasture or whatever. In the actual 1800s, this shit was probably just wiped out, or they used lye soap or something ridiculous! Why the fuck am I being so fucking careful?!?”

Honey crisp is becoming more widely available as the variety’s patent protections ran out a few years ago. Now that you don’t have to have a special license from University of Minnesota to grow them we’re gonna be able to get the “generic.”

Hell, I just planted one a few months ago.

Good for them for attempting to redeem themselves after what they did to my potatoes. But I’ll never forgive them.

They may have fooled you with their cute little rolls and their ability to mitigate human pollution, but I see them.
