what're they going to do, fine them for 3% of the money they made?

I mean people had ways of getting things before amazon.com.

Here is a thread of people nostalgiating about fabric stores: https://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1/good-old-days-remembering-old-fabric-shops-t133050.html I certainly bought fabric from brick n mortar locations and it is still the preferred method in a lot of situations.

A fabric store, especially one in a textile/garment district, would have been able to do special orders of cloth or dye. They would have had networks of suppliers large and small to call upon. It somewhat strains belief particularly that gays would have been unable to obtain any given solid color of fabric given their longstanding ties to fashion industry. Another group, maybe. But come on.

Unless there is something specific about this color, at this moment in history, to explain it. I looked up briefly the history of pink dye and all I found was what I already understood to be the case: pink is a particularly easy color to obtain.

Both Paramount and Baker struggled to obtain the hot pink fabric and so began manufacturing a 7-stripe version.

Can someone who knows about the history of chemical dyes comment on this?

It sounds implausible that the world (or even regional) supply of hot pink fabric was decimated by a few gay flag sewers. And why not just use regular pink which is not hard at all?

Is there something about how hot pink is created that provides credibility to this?

The Annual Reminder was a 60s thing.

First thing we do is set the nerds to work repurposing all fare collection tech to something useful.

While that's a WIP all drivers get to put some little joke poster up in front of them so everyone knows there is no need to bother.

this was charming and confounding

the posted link has a lot of "live updates". if you want to see the verdict on each per the title, this is the pdf link: read-verdict-sheet-in-trumps-hush-money-trial.pdf. and for the lazy, screencaps of that pdf:

Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg ... noted that both the trial and verdict were arrived at “in the same manner as every other case that comes through the courtroom doors ... by following the facts and the law and doing so without fear or favor.”

I will bet you $2 that if he goes to jail he will not die there. And a further $2 that if he dies he will not go rotten.

i think the problem is that the conclusions you are looking for ("benefits of various mushrooms for health and wellness") is likely not supported by the methods you approve of ("science based" ... "peer reviewed studies"). And to whatever extent they are, why would there be a youtuber banging on about it? unless they are sponsored. which is a Conflict Of Interest.

If you like mushrooms.. eat them.

unfortunately studies show it takes more than 18 months to rot in jail so your entire family is incorrect
