Westerner club, 21-23 Fremont St, 1950

Opened in Spring 1950, the Westerner club was a partnership of Benny Binion, Emilio Goergetti, Frank Converse, and landlord Catherine Horden, occupying the original site of Las Vegas Club. The building had been completely remodeled by architect F. A. Ripley of Billings, MT. Binion left the partnership soon after the opening of the club.

The overheard mural titled “Pioneers Westerward” was completed July 1950. The 20 x 45-foot, 7-ton enamel-porcelain piece was created by Payne Mahoney of Oakland, CA, based on an original painting by artists Leroy Green and John Greenleaf. The mural acted as a facade that covered the original building. About two years later a marquee was installed that covered most of the mural. The mural may have been demolished along with the building in '62.

Still hungry Word is the Westerner Drive-inn opened up along Route 66 around 1949. Been watching this place deteriorate over the years since closing about 20 years ago and all that is left now is this sign.

On the Dodge - Hiding out.

"Outlaws get tired of living on the dodge all the time and want to feel settled."

Forty-five years of the illegal regime of the Islamic Republic in a single video

This is the face of Iran, the one puppeteering numerous Islamic terror organizations, among which are Hamas and Hezbollah.

The same crowd cheering as Iran and its proxies launched over 300 drones, ICBM missiles and Cruise missiles on Israel is the one calling for a ceasefire and condemning Israel for its actions. The hypocrisy is not lost on the rest of us.

Iranians deserve so much better than pasty westerners supporting the persecution they've endured & survived for decades.

Said it a year ago and I’ll say it again.

Pirate all your favorite shows, movies and games while you still have the chance.

Oh, and never stop supporting physical media.

countries will be like “nooooo our birth rate is falling exponentially and it’s effecting our economy” and immigrants will be like “hey can you let us in so we can boost your economy and fill your empty jobs and raise our children here” and inevitably the country is like “the only thing worse than a large scale collapse of our population is letting foreigners live here”

The world exists in such a baffling state of simultaneous sex-aversion and sex-hegemony. Every social platform on the internet is trying to banish sex workers to the shadow realm but I can't post a tweet without at least two bots replying P U S S Y I N B I O. People are self-censoring sex to seggs and $3× but every other ad you see is still filled with half-naked women. Rightwingers want queer people arrested for so much as existing in the same postal code as a child and are also drumming up a moral panic about how teenage boys aren't getting laid enough. I feel like I'm losing my mind.
