    If you haven’t read The Grapes of Wrath, you really should. It goes hard, and it’s obscenely relevant despite being like 80 years old.

        You just made me wonder if I owned anything that was older than Biden.

        I struggled to think of anything for a hot minute, but remembered my great grandmother passing me down her antique mirror.

        Problem is that I don’t know when she got it and I think she was born some time in the 1920s, so I think it’s likely I don’t have anything older than our fucking corpse emperor.

        Edit: technically I have some quartz geodes but they got set up for display a few decades ago.

      The movie made only a couple years after the book was written is solid as well. I work with food and it’s a book I literally think about every day.

      All these streaming websites are wild for charging $4 to watch a movie made in 1940.

      Here’s an archive link for the Grapes of Wrath movie, no torrenting or downloads required. phoenix-evidence
