A place to appreciate the twentieth century comic character Everett True of "The Outbursts of Everett True." Feel free to check out the sticky.
Printed 112 years ago today in the Tacoma Times. I had to clean it up mostly for readability, see the original.
Found on the Library of Congress site.
The articles and ads elsewhere on the page are usually pretty interesting too. If you ever need a 10-pound pail of Lard Lard Lard in 1912 I can tell you where to go.
And:
LUCKY for the world that Marconi was only bruised and not killed. For with Marconi we can yet hope for a lot more things along the "wireless" line.
TBF lard is great
I wonder if we'll ever get anything truly useful out of that Marconi chap
I heard he plays a pretty good mamba
Man for a moment thought he was going take him to vote.
I've never understood "one vote won't make a difference", because if you're thinking it, many others probably are too.
Ultimately I believe you can't claim to be an activist if you are promoting inaction.
If voting doesn't matter then vote and do more. Doing less to change things is functionally conservative no matter how you spin it.
Wouldn't that be an inactivist?
