Erik Davis grew up in Southern California in the 1970s and 80s. He and his friends were born a bit too late for the psychedelic 1960s, but they managed to do a lot of drugs anyway and were interested in the continuation of that era’s counterculture. They went to Dead shows and read Timothy Leary. After graduating from Yale, Davis wrote about pop culture and counterculture for publications including the Village Voice and Rolling Stone, often with an eye towards what he calls “druggy, weird, freaky stuff.

Do you make New Year's resolutions, or do you, like me, forego this ritual because you know you'll probably break them in the first fifteen minutes of January? In years past, I broke mine by losing steam or experiencing a moment of weakness, perhaps when someone put a soft, chewy snickerdoodle in front of me. This year, I've decided to make five resoluti… ncG1vNJzZmiin5m2or7Imqpnq6WXwLWtwqRlnKedZL1wgYyrnKynnKrBqrvNrGSipV2irqy1zaBkn6eiYn9xfpM%3D

His ability to cement himself as one of the primary news sources in the genre has been impressive, to say the least. And today, we're going to detail 5 principles that have helped him rise to success. Let's discuss. Every day. Twice per day.
Hello again from crazy season. 🔥🫠 How’s it going in your neck of the woods? I decided to capitalize on my Big Spring Energy over the weekend and dove into all kinds of MUCH NEEDED chores. I spent a WILD Saturday night updating kid devices and getting family screen time restrictions back in order before Summer Mode starts. Fun times with our family of five. 🎪🎠🎢 At the moment, I’m looking at my calendar and watching the blocks of margin squeezing smaller and smaller to accommodate all the End of School Year activities, two cookbook photoshoots, a Tent Salewith nearly 500 people RSVPd, followed by a June book release, then taking the kids to camp and all the prep that goes into that.
This issue – widescreen – brings the big budget movie adaptation of Superman and the Authority, where the dream of what this might have been recedes and the characters are simplified to plastic stereotypes and catchphrases – all the way to the MCU-style post credits scene with Manchester Black and Superman ironically echoing the Superman/Kennedy opener from issue #1. It’s all just a bad movie with simplistic politics now! Do you remember the first time?
Happy Boxing Day War & Peaceniks! ICYMI: 2024 is a *Leap Year which means 1440 extra minutes to get through. So, let’s get started! Last week I posted my Top Ten Media Predictions for 2024. The list is now the most-popular Media War & Peace article in our two-plus years. Thanks for that! Perhaps that was due to the slew of M&A predictions I made before Zaslav leaked his silly idea to merge WBD with Paramount (whichI dubbed Mt.
干洗店的英文怎么说?你肯定先想到了laundry. 但laundry只是洗衣店,并不一定是干洗店。今天这一期我们就来聊聊国外的洗衣店。 先公布今天题目的答案:干洗店的英文是 dry cleaners. *注意,正确的说法是cleaner加s. 尽管也有说dry cleaner的,但正式和正确的说法是复数cleaners. 为什么呢?我猜因为干洗店原本叫做dry cleaner’s shop,可能后来人们为省事就把shop省略了。(这一点未经考证,只是佛老的猜测。) 在国外,尤其美国,一说laundry,尽管大家都默认为是干洗店,那只是因为美国的干洗店很普及。但其实laundry不一定是干洗(dry cleaning)。星级酒店的洗衣服务一般都会注明dry cleaning多少钱,一般洗叫wash。 干洗和湿洗何在一起统称laundry service. (参见下图) 干洗店之所以在美国普及是因为干洗这种技术就是美国人发明的。 Thomas L. Jennings is the inventor and first to patent the commercial dry cleaning process known as "dry scouring", on March 3, 1821 (Patent Number: US 3,306X). 这是美国历史上第一个获得专利的黑人。 除了干洗店,国外还有一种洗衣形式很普及:自助式洗衣店,或投币式洗衣店。通常设在单身公寓楼里,完全自助式。 这种洗衣房当然也可以叫laundry, 但有一个专用名词:laundromat. (laundry 和 automatic的合成词)。 Laundromat是这种自助式洗衣店最正式最常见的名称,也有叫self-service laundry 或coin laundry的。 除了单身汉们需要用laundromat洗衣服,有些家庭主妇也喜欢到laundromat去洗大件衣物,例如床单被罩等,因为家里的washing machine洗不了那么多大件。 洗衣服是很耗时间的活,所以国外laundromat附近都会有一些休闲场所,供洗衣的人坐等。 以后在国外,你就会问“哪里有干洗店,哪里有自助洗衣店“了。 ncG1vNJzZmiepaS5oruNrKybq6SWsKx6wqikaKhfoa62usOrpqaZpA%3D%3D
This report offers a roadmap for every superintendent, school principal, and police chief to use the observations and recommendations as a checklist to ensure the same failures won’t happen in their community (note: I’ve made that checklist for them). The response to Robb Elementary was an abject failure by police to not enter a classroom and save children during a school shooting. That’s not new information. What is new in the Department of Justice report is hundreds of findings that range from complacency to cowardness across the entire public safety enterprise in Uvalde and Southeast Texas.
