Recently, a unique car wash/gas station that featured columns and statues was demolished to make room for yet another Shell station clone. I’ve seen old stations like this Mobil before, but at least they had some character.

Who/Whom If you can answer the question with "him" then you use ‘whom.’ --> they both end in ‘m’. If you can answer the question with “he,” use ‘who.’ -Whom are you going to the concert with? -I'm going with him. -Who broke the toaster? -He did.

NYC folks: It's supposed to be grotesquely hot on election day -- 100 degrees -- so try to vote early if possible. Check your early voting location, it might not be the same as on election day. And don't rank Cuomo, he's a monster fucking heel scumbag who doesn't give a single shit about NYC.

I think they should do a Final Destination where it’s ONE PERSON unknowingly almost being killed for 90 minutes, shot in real time, just an unbroken string of Mr. Magooian almost-deaths and then at the end the person dies of a sudden heart attack and Death throws a controller at the TV

www.bbc.com/news/article... I call bullshit on the idea that they can't be made here, or that production needs to be done by robots. When Converse were made in Massachusetts, a pair of chucks cost $20. Then Nike bought Converse, moved production to Asia, and Chucks cost $60/pair all of a sudden.

I was a medic at the Santa Ana protests in OC today. I watched police fire tear gas, flash bangs, & rubber bullets into crowds of men, women, & children. Other medics and I were clearly marked with red crosses, and the police were targeting us. One of the most fucked up things I’ve ever seen.
