What blasphemous bullshit is this! :o
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I buy store brand because paying for capitalist exploiters' so-called brand value and marketing budgets is abomination.

Can anyone recommend a good U.S. news archive site, stretching to the 70s and 90s? Online newspaper archives are spotty, and often not free, charging sometimes ridiculous amounts.

Doesn't have to be super in-depth articles; headlines and summaries would be fine.

Thanks!
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

I'm thinking more along the lines, "What were the headlines in May '95 in Florida?"

Oh, for that you'll need a good online newspaper archive, probably run by a newspaper, might be expensive?  :P

My mother tried to send a parcel to me from the UK. It never arrived.
It contained two recently bought t-shirts (not a big deal, insurance should cover them) and an important letter that I need in order to claim back taxes from Japan.
Fuck.

My theory- some of the immigrant cunts who hang around outside came in during the day and swiped it from my post box.
To that end I have set a trap. I have placed a used cardboard box, disguised and weighted to appear like a package, in my post box. I wonder how long before it dissapears.
Inside I have of course wrote a letter to inform the thief he is under observation.
