Stauff's, Columbus' venerable coffee house put out a seeming "we hate ICE" post yesterday but when you read it closely they're saying "we hate ICE but we'll serve them if they come here don't be mad at us." Fucking cowardly. Say nothing if you plan to do nothing. www.instagram.com/p/DUItzyCjpG...

Flippo the Clown was Columbus’ Krusty, and had a show on QUBE, the interactive cable system that later became Nickelodeon. During the Blizzard of ‘78, the very drunk adult production staff replaced the kids in the studio audience.
It’s all on YouTube (in parts).

I'm just sitting here, trying to figure out how to threat model for armed, masked thugs who may kidnap you off the street, then steal, and possibly sell your phone.
