Nobody has more succinctly put into words how I feel about housing in my backyard.

“We are the luckiest bastards alive,” he says of living in Marblehead. “We can’t also be the most self-interested bastards alive. They can’t be the same thing.” www.marbleheadindependent.com/he-asked-if-...

On its third attempt tonight, Marblehead Town Meeting approved an “MBTA Communities–compliant” district largely centered on the 125-year-old Tedesco Country Club, meeting 3A requirements on paper while all but assuring no new housing would be built. This comment says it all.

Kinda funny that they turned a color photograph into black-and-white for this.

Did I make a Max Payne one just because I knew I could make a tiny pill bottle? Yes. The answer is yes. Also yes, there's little 3d printed pills that shake in it.

Bringing back this map I first drafted a year or two ago to show how mindblowing fast the D Line Extension is going to be. Time to start adjusting your mental model of LA because she's shrinking Stations are spaced on a grid where each 'tick' represents one minute of travel

Recuperating from the Pistons loss by playing a tabletop version of Atari’s Battlezone. It’s a homebrew hack of a game called What a Tanker. Lots of fun, it would be cool to paint the edges with a brighter green and turn on a black light.

the platforms are WOOD, the ironwork is OLD, the traffic patterns are CONFUSING, i love the L

perhaps not the point but this culture is as good an explanation as any for why VC hasn't created a "hot new consumer product!" since I was in high school

we all know I have no life, so:

the Boots Riley discourse on twitter isn't going far enough imo. if you're actually a leftist, you shouldn't even be *watching* movies and television. the only way to actually be a Marxist is to live in a big tank like a guild navigator in Dune so that you can spend 24 hours a day posting

Haven't played any pokemon games post gen III for "don't generally own nintendo handheld reasons" but I'm really chafing up against how much one man can reply Pokemon red/gold/sapphire and still enjoy them. Maybe I'll pick up winds and or waves and see what those kids at GF have been getting up to

this is a serious article i want to call attention to but i'm a goofball so the intentionally incendiary post i'll use to get eyeballs on it is that northern virginia is the most evil place in america i've lived in louisiana, arizona, oregon, new york, virginia, and dc. virginia should be abolished

my parents have been doing the eBay picker thing since ~1999 and my dad loves wacky ties, so for a long time he'd search high and low for wacky ties and flip 'em. He loved buying them and they always resold. Eventually he stopped and I noticed, asked why. He said that they stopped selling in 2007.

In his second term, Trump seems even less restrained and more incoherent at times. He uses more profanity, speaks longer, regularly makes comments rooted in fantasy rather than fact, wanders off into odd tangents and shocks even allies with his outbursts. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/13/u...

it's so funny to complain about the Pope being "weak on crime". he is the ostensible mouthpiece of a God whose whole thing is forgiving sins. it's technically his job to be weak on crime.
