America ain't what it used to be, and it never was

"Acid Rock Lobster" was right there!

And cutting down trees is a standard and responsible part of urban forestry management

Flat roofs are fine actually

Yes they don't build buildings like they used to. That's a very good thing in terms of safety, health, sustainability, comfort, equity, energy, etc. etc. We suffer from survivor bias because the best buildings are preserved, so we compare major civic projects to strip malls.

@zachweinersmith.bsky.social we had an impromptu pictionary at home. We gave Darling Daughter the subject "literary character." After we explained what "literary" meant, this is what she drew. Can you guess it?

Slept in my David Foster Wallace t- shirt, and when i came back to, i was flat on my back on the beach in the freezing sand, and it was raining out of a low sky, and the tide was way out

I just love that the two demographics who really love stickers are little girls and tool box guys

Because they know the idiots in their target market couldn't put it together

I have gone through Checkpoint Charlie. I have seen this kind of security before.

Kinda sad they couldn't afford to buy their own bulletin board

Honest question: is drinking milk as an adult now fascist coded? Because it's white? I sometimes order milk when eating at a diner. Diners always have milk, and it's never been an issue.

There's only one monster horrible enough

In honor of Mr. Rogers’ birthday, here’s your regularly scheduled reminder that the quote of his you keep sharing, that in times of crisis we should look for the helpers, was for his audience of children. We’re adults now. We’re supposed to *be* the helpers.

Reskeet with your favourite historic lil guys

Dad, what were you lyke yn the 1390s? Well:

Triumph gets 94hp out of a 660cc engine. HD gets 98hp out of an engine three times that size

So weird how global motorcycle brands try to entice new riders, while harley and Indian hate new riders. www.revzilla.com/common-tread...

Some things are still good

Your job is to pick the worst possible actor to play James Bond. Go!

I have no mouth and I must scream

I am in this picture (or somewhere very nearby). I still have an East German flag with the center cut out from that night.

I was just thinking i haven't seen Total Recall in a long time. Don't know why i just thought of that.
