This is all bs. Philly already has tons of stations with lower gas prices. He has nothing to do with it.

Hey Bayeux Tapestry fans have I made the platform game for you? I’m sure someone else will have done this before but well now I have too… bayeuxgo.live

we know how many non-resident women born in China have babies in the US every year: it's in the very low hundreds. Racist paranoids tend to use the much larger figure of *U.S. residents* born in China who have babies, which is in the low ten thousands.

This is my absolute favorite space colony design of all time. Not sure if it actually works, but the aesthetics are amazing.

To be clear... Trans men are men Trans women are women Trans rights are human rights ... and no matter what the MAGA Supreme Court says, we are going to fight for those truths, and we are going to win. 🏳️‍⚧️

Read this! It's a trip.

A visitor fell into the Reflecting Pool today

I feel that.

Lord, I see what you have done for others...

Merge three movies: The Wind, the Lion, and the Winter.

Merge two movies: Star Wars

Well, this is an amazingly good deal on really fun comics, and an RPG to go with it.

We watched _The Sheep Detective_ last night. It was lovely and great fun, but there was one glaring plot hole. ..... Why did the chicken cross the road?

Tell me you've never seen a Boxer APC in person without telling me...

My favorite TTRPG Classes 1. The voice of reason. 2. The sniper in games where I can't stay 100 yards away from the fight. 3. The badass runaway bride/groom. 4. The one who didn't minmax the game and thus sucks compared to everyone else. 5. The ranger who can turn into a bear. Always a bear.

Around 40. Including Hickman, Weis, and Salvatore seems a tad self-referential, IMO.

So, my wife and I have a c.1959 house that we are trying to drag kicking and screaming back to something like a period sense of style, without being a twee time capsule. Found this book at a vintage store on Friday. It's amazing.

True, SecUnit, True

Darwin has had enough of this day already

"The real conspiracies — the actual plots and plans that will shape whole worlds — are often far too vast and far to impersonal to really grasp, and when they are grasped, they are not called 'conspiracies' at all, but rather 'policies' or 'business plans'." Claire North _Slow Gods_

Most explicit version of the GOP's complaint I've seen yet. Acres don't vote, folks, people do. For the record, Fairfax is just over 13% of the state's population. The only county in the top 10 population-wise that voted No was Newport News.

Oceans Are Now Battlefields, indeed. Master and Commander continues to deliver. I always forget how artistic it is, aside from the actual plot and acting and everything else. An absolute masterpiece of cinematography.

Today is apparently National Pet Day. Here is Darwin.

If you find one cursed item, then that item was just cursed. If every item you find is cursed, then maybe you are the curse.

And so it begins. Tracks well with the recent Iranian pattern of hiring proxies for external operations.

Well,. That's a first. I appear to have been blocked for explaining basic electoral processes to someone. Not the record, no, Senate seats cannot be gerrymandered.

He self-insures, obviously.

BREAKING NEWS: Baby sea otter achieves record breaking levels of cuteness.

Connecticut kid here, perfectly positioned so we could visit both NYC and Old Sturbridge Village.

I've beenlistening to Andy Sirkis' audiobook of The Hobbit, and it's very very good. But this one sentence really jumped out, describing Smaug after Bilbo pilfers a goblet from his trove. (1/2)

Marco, that's the definition of "regime change" right there.

Really looking forward to another look at this universe.

Grocery stores on Super Bowl Sunday are like restaurants on Valentine's day. All the amateurs are out.

The bot accounts seem to be out in force this weekend. I've had to block more than a dozen random ladies and assorted other obvious scams on the last 24 hours. Way more than usual.

Finally got a decent picture of Darwin on the snow.

Giving very Twilight 2000 vibes. www.militarytimes.com/news/your-mi...

I often say that the defining characteristics of modern conservatism is the lack of (or even hostility toward) empathy. That makes Captain Gilbert's observation here rather chilling.

This story has been one of the few things I really look forward to every week. If you aren't already reading it, I highly recommend checking it out.

Such a fun blend of incredible prescience (video phone calling, wireless phones, etc.) and oddly static bits (the bell-shaped telephone microphones). Perfect fodder for a pulp rocketship adventure.

Because of the music playlist I worked up for Kingkiller the algorithm still kicks me some great stuff. youtube.com/watch?v=A0Dk...
