Well, I added “The Lou” for two reasons - 1) Some other person had started up a /c/saintlouis community (and let it dwindle) and I wanted this one to visibly stand out from that one in search results, and 2) I also started /c/missouri and named it “Missouri | The Show-Me State”, so I wanted a nick name to go along with this one as well. I haven’t heard anyone call it “St. Louie” in a hot minute, so I went with a newer one.

What do you think of using “Gateway to the West”? That’s probably the most tried and true city nickname I know of.

For the record, I’m not commenting on this only because I’m not going to doxx myself. 😉

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF ST LOUIS-ISM COMPLETE.  LET US NOW EAT GOOEY BUTTER CAKE AND PORK STEAKS AND TOASTED RAVIOLIS.

Sam Page, still looking out for the well being of people in STL. I didn’t know much about him before COVID and how he dealt with all of the anti-mask / antivax assholes, but every time I hear about something he’s done it’s been good for the community.

Also, obligatory: fuck christo-fascists.

I think Denethor had more regard for Faramir than most Tolkien fans have for The Hobbit movies. I know the only way I’ll watch them anymore is the fan edit 4-hour cut that removes all the crap that wasn’t in the book.

I guess if it does we can call Des Peres “The City of NIMBYs”.

I thought this was newsworthy mostly because someone used the sentence “Just say no to drugs.” unironically and as a serious argument in favor of banning something in the year 2023.

Looks like a good lineup this year. The Muny is definitely one of our city’s best attractions.

You do what you will, don’t let me stop you. I never called anyone an outsider, but I also wouldn’t have the hubris to start an online community on a growing social platform about a city I recently moved to, then tell people repeatedly how I don’t know anything about the city and otherwise contribute very little to that sub.

It’s infuriating that we’re letting these christo-fascists determine how the rest of us are allowed to live our lives. I wonder what it will take for us to reach that “Have you no sense of decency?” moment with them. But of course they don’t, because that would require a conscience.

Now I know that we’re at meme status when it comes to expired temp tags, but this seems a bit much. Where’s the victim in that crime? Does it really warrant stealing someone’s car from them? If the person couldn’t afford the taxes in the first place, how do they expect them to afford to get it out of the impound and pay the taxes, when they can’t drive to work? I suppose the answer is that they don’t, and they just like ruining lives.

I wonder, will it change anything now that dealerships are required to collect taxes at time of sale? I guess that still won’t affect personal sales.

Been doing alright so far. Haven’t noticed any blips since late yesterday I believe.

The rule of law means nothing to christo-fascists. They’ll stop at nothing to enforce their regressive views on the rest of us. Expect more attempts to stop the will of the people from reestablishing reproductive health rights in our state.

Knowing STL Communications, this was probably his best ‘value proposition’.

Libraries, one of most valuable public resources. Shame that they’re constantly under attack from the GOP fascists.

So, putting aside their chances against fascism bro Hawley for a minute, who do we like better for the Dem ticket? Bell or Kunce?

Too christo-fascist for any sane person, but not fascist enough for the MAGA movement. Too bad, Pence.

Really, who does he hope to win over? The people who built the gallows for him?

Guessing shower curtain > curtain rod > door. Also, now your shower curtain leaks. :D

Because obviously no one knows better about healthcare than fascist Republican politicians. Doctors? Pssh.
