I'm old enough to remember when WBLM billed themselves as 108 FM. It was close enough for analog tuning dials, but at some point when digital tuners became common it was time to update their merch.

I have a degree in history.

There's no honest way to spin this to make us the bad guys. We have done nothing but provide weapons to a country defending itself from a hostile invasion. Your position is nothing more than "America bad" despite the majority of the world backing Ukraine as their neighbor literally invades and tries to annex them.

I’d be sure not to be a junky though. Even in hard times staying sober isn’t unreasonable ask. You can do as little as possible and be poor but survive. You can be a hard worker and earner and a functioning addict and it may work. Being poor and an addict is digging your own grave. The immortal words of Dean Wormer- “fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son”.

He's bringing up a topic that needs more discussion. The churches collect donations, the churches are supposed to be providing a community service and helping people, and the churches are not paying taxes. If the churches are not providing a needed community service, they should be paying taxes so the community can do more with that money.

>Leaving the weak to get run over by a revanchist power is disgusting

You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

I know it's a stretch for a pro-war american.... but maybe learn about a subject before cheering for whatever the war machine does?

People in this country are so god damned stupid. They just ignore all history and keep screaming "WE ARE THE GOOD GUYS!!!!" as if the world is a comic book. For fucks sake.

I can hear this shirt! 107.5 was the best when I was a teen in ME. Plus Celeste lived on the same street as me, growing up.

Maine's vast forested areas are doing more than their part toward reductions in carbon emissions and the states carbon neutrality, and tourists come here because of the unspoiled and undeveloped majority of the state's land mass. I don't think any of us want to be another Massachusetts but agree that we need a solution to affordable housing to attract more young people. My son and daughter are young, educated and were born in Maine and can't find an affordable place to live in southern Maine.

107 was my locker in elementary school, I scratched in .5 at the end. If it's still there, it's just a frank locker now.
