Last Notes npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg It boggles my mind when someone pretends to be a Rockefeller—or a family with a similarly well-documented family tree—especially in places real Rockefellers live/work/socialize. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg My god, it’s a gilded junk shop! npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Powerful passage about the Minnesota resistance in an Atlantic piece by Adam Serwer. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg I’ll remember everyone who played ball with this administration for their own craven purposes. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg It continues to be my fondest hope that all the grace and mercy evangelicals have for others will be visited upon them tenfold. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Oh, wow, just learning Bob Weir's childhood house was just down the street from me when I lived ever-so-briefly in Silicon Valley. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg The massive CES influx begins. And I always feel bad for everyone who has to prep probably through the holidays for an event happening so soo. After the New Year. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg I keep a bottle of chilled Moët ready so I can immediately toast whatever health problem takes Trump. I don’t feel bad about this though haha. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg It’s hard to believe a place as reactionary as Huntington Beach commissioned a library from Neutra. And they’ve somewhat disfigured it since. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg TL:DR even if you’re just being cynical or pragmatic, be someone the bartender actually wants to chat with goddamnit. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg He’s the nicest guy. And you probably need to know him to understand how much he clearly hates a couple dudes down the bar who are being dickish without even the excuse of being that drunk. Like arguing with him about industry news he knows for fact because he knows the people involved. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Especially glad I tipped my bartender 100%—my you’re-working-a-holiday rate—as I learn he’s off at 4 and will miss out on the NYE bonanza. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg A funny thing about Paramount is that it splits a MASSIVE block with the Hollywood cemetery. (I refuse to call it by the idiotic late ‘90s rebrand Hollywood Forever.) npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Making me think of a Hollywood fun fact. The wife of its initial developer—who envisioned a religious community free from alcohol, pool halls and other vices—offered free land to any church that wanted it. All the show people must’ve been a huge shock haha. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg You might argue: What about Columbia? But I’d argue its small Sunset Gower lot was a Poverty Row holdover and the studio’s moment as a true major was relatively brief. Then really outsourcing and eventually rolled into Sony and moved to the old MGM lot in the ‘80s. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Random fact since it’s in the news: For almost a century, Paramount has been the only major studio with a lot that’s actually in Hollywood. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Met a gay couple tonight who are MAGA—racist as fuck—and I know of course that this can happen. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg I couldn’t find Yukon Gold potatoes anywhere recently. A few shops had something sort of like them but not really. Turns out there’s a reason. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg I’ve been very on the record for over a decade as loathing Elon Musk. Now there’s this a stone’s throw from where I live. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Something I genuinely miss about living in LA is how often I’d see Angelyne in her pink Corvette. It seemed like impossible odds that—whether Malibu or Hollywood—I could so frequently be in the same place at the same time. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Finally saw the neighbor who goes with the sparkly hot pink Mercedes and she’s as blonde and bedazzled as I thought she had to be. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg So much talent it was insane! npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Reminds me peripherally of a fun bit Carol Burnett did with Madeline Kahn about stars of shows introducing guest stars as their very good friends. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg This is an extremely funny sentence. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Marjorie isn’t so tough after all haha. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg The old joke that every day is Men’s Day. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Checking to see if Men’s Day is an actual thing and one of the first things Google highlights is npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg The Code took effect in 1934. When Hollywood chose to censor itself as a means of preventing the US government from doing it for them. Under pressure from bigoted religious conservatives. Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose, after all. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Something that really trips me out about early Hollywood is how many older actors either lived through the Civil War -- or came close to it. And certainly were alive for the actual Wild West era. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg The US is gonna start denying visas for obesity? Just get Trump’s doctor to write you a note. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Thinking back to when this Epstein stuff first surfaced and Clinton was the name being bandied about and every liberal I knew was like: I don’t give a fuck who it is, if anyone assaulted a girl TAKE HIM DOWN. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Recalling the compartment in the driver's door of a Rolls-Royce Corniche for your booze. Truly another time haha. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg I am by nature an establishment guy. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg I have to tell you, and yes I’m drunk, but if I were a Christian who thought I’d someday face Jesus, the idea of explaining why I took food out of the mouths of the poor ON PRINCIPLE? I’d be scared shitless. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg I’m sentimentally attached to something called aprikoskrem—apricot cream—that’s insanely rich. Mom always made it for Granddad, the father-in-law she adored, because it was his favorite dessert. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg I’m so sorry. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg These beautiful electoral results. I’ll just re-up this because BLISS. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg I happen to think you’re a total jerk if you want to stop the government from helping those in need regardless of what causes their need. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg No matter the specifics of ongoing humiliations, I’ll bet seeing himself referred to as ‘Mountbatten Windsor’ stings most of all. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Okay, I’ve just learned my grandfather and his brother—both hard-partying midcentury doctors—gave each other vasectomies one drunken night on a dining room table. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg It’s ridiculous in a country where people spend a thousand dollars a month for shots that make them eat less that there’s even the slightest chance anyone might go hungry. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg AND! Something to consider the next time you're thinking about a nice meal out: When you dine at a José Andrés restaurant, you're supporting a spirit of noblesse oblige that doesn't exist almost anywhere else anymore. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg The Las Vegas location, but here's the falafel and hummus at Zaytinya -- served with the most wonderful airy pita bread. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Re: that last boost about José Andrés still always being a total mensch. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg It’s brilliant! npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Zing! npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Nearly every evangelical I know lives and breathes in active defiance of nearly everything Jesus taught in the Sermon in the Mount. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg There’s no point asking Republicans who’ve spent decades shouting at you about their principles how *any of this* aligns with *any of them* because the only fucking principle they’ve ever actually had is power. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg The bottom line. I’ve had an insane level of privilege in my life. And I’ve never—even when I was a little kid—understood why anyone would want to push less privileged people down rather than raise them up. #NoKings npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg I fucking love that the vibe of this protest is very NPR except with lots of ‘fuck’ on signs. #NoKings npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Pleasantly lubricated, a quick turn around the book fair, and back to the protest. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg The great thing about Book Fair adjacency is the food truck section and BEER. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg And my congresswoman haha. #NoKings npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Such a small town—glancing over and, oh hey, there’s the head of Nevada’s ACLU. Very cool dude. #NoKings npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg I feel the exasperated *waves arms* sputtering of some signs here—Epstein, ICE and impeachment all in one place haha. #NoKings npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Hahaha it’s such a wholesome protest the speaker just had everyone chanting ‘Drink water!’ Because it’s important to stay hydrated. #NoKings npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg The annual Book Fair is also happening a couple blocks down Las Vegas Boulevard. Which feels like synergy. #NoKings npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Already a good turnout at start time in Vegas. I’m digging this inflatable trend. The unicorns are blowing bubbles haha. #NoKings npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Walking to No Kings in Vegas. I pretty much always look like a WASP but I do try to play it up for this stuff. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg I like how anti-MAGA protesters seem to have sort of co-opted the frog from the extreme right. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg At Luxor—downmarket for the Strip—and witnessing perhaps the strongest indication I’ve personally seen of the Vegas downturn: Hotel employees in suits practically chasing down guests crossing the lobby to ask if they want vouchers for anything. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg HOWEVER! npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg I’m sorry but it’s not a pedestrian’s duty to be on the constant alert—or instantly yielding!—for electric vehicles coming from any direction at 25 mph on sidewalks. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Jesus Christ and now nearly run down by a man in a speeding wheelchair. He would’ve hit me if I hadn’t literally jumped into the street. Going—and gone—so quickly I didn’t even have time to swear at him. Fuck. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg *deep cleansing breaths* npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg I’m all for sharing spaces. I know roads are incredibly dangerous for cyclists. But they—in turn—make sidewalks incredibly dangerous for pedestrians. And it’s incredibly uncommon—in my experience—to encounter cyclists who aren’t raging entitled pricks. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Headphones in as I’m walking. And the cyclist *on a sidewalk* yelling from behind to get out of his way when I was in a narrow space next to a bus stop—literally I would’ve had to step into the road for him—is lucky I hadn’t processed what was happening until he’d almost hit me in his scramble around while swearing at me. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg But back to our economic downturn, I think of the service industry dopes who voted for Trump because of ‘no tax on tips’—which isn’t all that great when there are fewer tips to tax, they still have to pay all the other withholdings, and it’s actually a $25,000 maximum deduction that won’t help workers who need it most. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Pro tip: There are two Nobu restaurants here: One at Caesars Palace and one at Paris. You want to dine at the former. A much more upscale environment. The Nobu at Paris is positioned on a narrow ‘Parisian street’ with patios that’s theoretically charming. But it feels very schlubby with crowds of people walking to the the garage or to/from the lower-end Horseshoe. Or queuing for the Bobby Flay burger joint next door. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg I was at a favorite spot on the Strip the other night and it should’ve been packed—summer heat is over and I’m usually getting grumpy about all the crowds again. But it was slow. And they said it had been really slow. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Overheard someone saying it was dumb to act like Las Vegas tourism dropping by 10% was anything to worry about. ‘It’s not that much!’ npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg I only have one friend in town with little kids. And it still cracks me up that when he texts about meeting for drinks after their ‘family dinner’ he means 5 PM and not 8 PM. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg When you know you’re getting left behind, you’re a lot less likely to panic when you wake up on earth the day after a rapture. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Is there a time zone situation with the rapture? It feels like a stupidly American notion, so I’m guessing it has to happen by midnight eastern time, or nine here in pacific time. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Why does the Supteme Court even pretend to deliberate anymore? npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Oh, great npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg So, I guess SOUND OF MUSIC is now about an insufferably woke family. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg What depresses me is that regular tickets now cost a fortune AND I think the experience is always like the busiest day of the year when I was a kid. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg I’m fascinated by aspects of the Disney cult. Like, for most of my life, you could walk right up to the Dole Whip stand at Disneyland’s Enchanted Tiki Room. But then, several years ago, there were suddenly very long lines. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg One summer around 1978 I got chicken pox. All I wanted was that pink calamine lotion for the itching. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Gosh, Robert Redford. He was so central to an era of pictures that is still -- broadly speaking -- my favorite. RIP npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Yeah, that’s the point, you dopes. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Very sorry to hear Polly Holliday has died. If you're around my age the catchphrase 'Kiss my grits!' will probably mean something to you. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Insane on purpose npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg I’m officially RAGING as that motherfucker Trump and that motherfucker RFK Jr make it so CVS won’t let me schedule a covid vaccine shot. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Weird question but there are so many science-y people here. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Wow, there’s an unvarnished headline. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Ha! Fair question! We were elevated in a Range Rover, better view into their car, and she leaned over and stretched across the back seat to get something out of the door storage on the other side of the car and was wearing a skirt. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg It’s wild, all the random data stored in our brains. Like, I always forget this song exists even though it’s probably one of my favorites by Madonna. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg I think this also is definitely a part of it. The way people style themselves has definitely evolved. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Definitely a factor, I'm sure, but I don't think it's just that. My mother (born 1951) and my grandmother (born 1926) had very similar non-smoking, health-food, exercise-intensive SoCal lifestyles. But if you compare photos at similar ages, my mother always looks significantly younger than my grandmother. And my sisters (born 1973 and 1978, also healthy lifestyles) look younger still. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Exactly! It seems like there was a definite shift after the early 1970s when people stopped looking as old as before? npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg OOF. I feel that. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg It was bad enough when I figured out I was at least a decade older than basically every ‘80s sitcom dad. But SHOOK when I realized I was even older than Archie Bunker. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg I’ve changed my messaging with evangelicals. Because I’m done with a benefit of the doubt that presumes their fundamental reverence for Jesus. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg A church but make it hair metal. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg *checks watch* npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Is there a character from a TV show or an influencer who’s been wearing Brooks Brothers t-shirts? npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg I really don’t think it’s a coincidence Republicans waited until WWII vets were all basically dead before going so soft on fascism Elon Musk could sieg heil at an inauguration rally without bothering them in the least. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg I was absolutely delighted happening upon this pair in Stockholm a couple years ago.
