Wow, instant nostalgia from that tea tin. In the Netherlands these were definitely a thing in the last century. I don’t know where they came from but everyone had them. I’ve ordered some (they’re pretty cheap).
I have literally a couple of mason jars (the smaller variant ball jars). I have a hand grinder that fits the jars so it works out. Means my husband and I can both have ground coffee fairly fresh and without having to share (his coffee tastes like dirt to me). It works for us. We grind the night before usually.
Those “disinfection” scenes were where the franchise stopped even pretending that blatant titillation was plot relevant. If ENT had lasted a couple more seasons we would have gotten full frontal.
in 2005 McMillan had a specific idea of who was to blame for the rent being, well, too damn high:
There are over (25) Twenty Five Thousand Newly Rented Apartments, Available, Now Renting in the Williamsberg Section of Brooklyn, NY. as is all throughout the (5) Five Boro’s. But… they are only being Rented to the Jewish People.
Which certainly seems antisemitic. I tracked down that claim to a Gawker article from October 2005 which said the above quote came from his website. It was hard to track down because all the news orgs link to his website’s homepage which substantially changed multiple times since then and eventually stopped existing entirely, and it wasn’t very easily navigable at the time. But here’s the page being cited. It’s…pretty fucking wild.
I’d use Hitler for a meme if it was funny, using an image of a person doesn’t mean you agree or even are aware of who that person is or what their beliefs are
Sometimes you just gotta let go of all that useless hate and enjoy things at face value
