IIRC the "dispute" in question was like 6 days ago when the coauthor of this piece gleefully tweeted her plan to eavesdrop on a Clubhouse room, did so, lied about what someone said there, and was forced into a correction and apology.

But maybe I misremember things in my dotage
Honestly I think I'd rather be on Clubhouse than this site, but anything invitation only pretty much leaves me SOL
Hey @pmarca how about throwing a crumb to a fellow Iowa boy

The window kamikaze birds are back
PLEASE NOTE: this is not a request for advice, I have tried everything you can think of to dissuade them
The last wave of attacks was Cedar Waxwings, which are nature's fermented berry-eating drunken idiots, so at least it was somewhat understandable. This wave is some kind of sparrows, who seem to belong to to some organized avian death cult

Don't want to discount Mr McKenzie's skill, but pretty sure these are Maytag (yep the washing machine people) toy racers, with customized bodies and stretched frames. If I'm right, the earliest the pics are is 1934. #DavesCarIDService
*between 1934 and 1941 Maytag made these very exclusive toy racers in Newton Iowa, powered by a gasoline washing machine engine. Not surprisingly these are hella rare; not many people had the money to buy their kid such a fancy toy during the Depression.
yes, you heard that right: a *gasoline* washing machine engine. Maytag made 1 and 2 cylinder versions. Prior to rural electrification, these were popular with farm families. My grandma had one, and my dad collected a few.
