That's peak early 2000's. Although Donald Rum Raisin is a clever flavor name. I wonder if it was torturous to eat?

And $76 for a gallon of ice cream? What in tarnation? I don't typically buy ice cream, but I did buy some a few months back and I feel like I paid something like $8-$9 for a thing of it, not $19. And if you count for inflation, that makes the conservative ice cream $28 or $112 per gallon.

I don't think that would qualify as Conservative today.

How much was that "thing"? Pint? That comes out to $64-72 for a gallon. Quart is obviously half that.

Looks like all of Ben & Jerry's pints are $7.99 on the website right now, which isn't absurd for quality ice cream...to say nothing of B&J's quality. No idea what they were in 2003.

It's from a local place, but it looks like their tubs are 56oz which should be 1.75qts.

Sorry I missed this. I must have lost track of the alert.

Local place in SLC? What sort of ice cream are we talking about here? $19 for that comes out to...what...$5.50 a pint? And you're thinking it may have been closer to $9 (~$2.50/pint)? I realize deals can be gotten, but I'm having difficulty grasping ice cream at $2.50-$5.50 for a pint from a local joint in any market, much less one like Salt Lake City. Maybe the high end of that, but I'm not sure it would be anything to rave about.

I generally expect a $1-2 pint premium (though higher really isn't a stretch) on quality local stuff over quality supermarket brands unless the place is running some kind of promotion, but I'm also okay with that because I like supporting locals with my patronage and I usually get some kind of interaction with the folks that make the stuff.

I guess this could set off a trend in reimagined album covers even if including Pob in the design is a bit of an easy target

I didn't realise it, but it's actually the work of a friend of mine - I thought he just reposted it, but he actually created it himself. Shame it ruins one of my favourite albums of all time, but hey...

Maybe it's fortunate that I know exactly nothing of what drove this. I just get to appreciate the effort. It really is well done.

Actually, Spotify recommended for me a Love playlist just the other day.

"But I digest" is a good one but did I also hear Brent say "scarey-o-type" instead of stereotype? If so I'm stealing that one.

Combined with the caller that told Rand Paul to "get 🤬 ",, perhaps more folks are getting sick of them or just more bold to confront them.

They really aren't big fans of consequences for speech.

It is remarkable how dumb people can truly be.

Unsurprisingly the above appears to be sarcasm.

I hear "stereotype," which isn't to say that he couldn't have said something else, but I absolutely lost it (on my first viewing and again on review) when he said "but I digest." It was so perfect.

They really aren't big fans of consequences for speech.

Yeah but they don't much care for free speech either. It's strange, I know...at least it would be if it wasn't for the double standards.

Poe's law? I did a shallow dive and the RTs really give it away, but some of the account's own postings make it hard to tell whether right-wing narratives are being mocked or endorsed:

Biden Aggravation Disorder.

Edit: I'm not sure whether it's more sad that a guy who cried for years about anti-Trump sentiment is now posting anti-Biden cringe or that there is literally nothing going around in any kind of reasonably detectable range about Biden being on the phone while driving. The closest thing I can find is him joking about running over reporters when he showboated that electric F-150 in May.
