For #jerseyaday I took a quick look at Marrakesh, Morocco (they are playing in the 2025 African Cup of Nations!). It took about 15 seconds of dropping in to find the below shop displaying some jerseys. Fairly easy to see that Real Madrid kit on the far right! The others? Not so much. #football

if tumblr dies I need this video to make it's seasonal rotation here instead just in case, Happy holidays 🎄

I feel like this is where the citizens bust into the telecast and remove Ceausescu and his wife for trial and execution. Of course, that can't happen b/c this is the USA, but the amount of lies being spewed here seem more consistent with fallen dictator than democratic truth.

Who did it better? #Trump

Picard sociology tip: Those who rise to power by embracing ignorance and fear will only make their people more ignorant and afraid.

This is a big one.

The Internet is becoming increasingly unreliable. Buy books and read them.

Thinky Dailies 1-3 Solved in 1:05 thinkygames.com/dailies/puzz.... I feel both dumber and smarter. 😂

Thinky Dailies 1-4 Solved in 3:06 thinkygames.com/dailies/puzz.... Oh I like this type of puzzle (first time playing one!). And also that in doing several days back-to-back it is a bit challenging, hopping between different types of puzzles and making your gray matter adjust.

Thinky Dailies 1-5 Solved in 2:34 thinkygames.com/dailies/puzz.... I feel dumb, but that’s why I play puzzles. You can only get smarter by working your brain!!!

This Day in Labor History: December 1, 1868. A young black former Union soldier named John Henry was among a group of convicts sent from Richmond to West Virginia to blast a railroad tunnel, where he would soon die. Let's talk about the real John Henry!!!

I named my fists Monty and Python because you are about to join a Flying Circus.

A photodump (spoiler free!) of Q.U.B.E. 2 shots, taken on an Xbox Series X. A great puzzle game developed by Toxic Games that never really gets too hard, and has beautiful lighting, puzzle design, and a colorful aesthetic that make it a joy to play. #thinkygame #xbox 1/7

Do you like puzzle games (well, puzzle video games)? Particularly those like Portal & Q.U.B.E. - which I am actually replaying today! j- give this one a gander. It deserves more attention : ) #thinkygame

maybe i am going insane

Word of the day is ‘quockerwodger’ (19th century): a puppet politician whose strings are pulled entirely by someone else.

Picard management tip: Do your best to learn about and comprehend the experiences of people who look very different from you.

Tough to move from the intensity of the MIN/SEA shootout to the CIN/CLB game ... but the Hell Is Real match is coming close. You want to know why I watch MLS Playoffs? This. Just awesome, intense, edge-of-your-seat drama. #MLS

Today’s Google Maps jersey search is Bangkok, Thailand. It took a good 5 minutes (so many big, empty highways!) to locate this 2012 Arsenal FC home jersey, taken in November 2024. More Arsenal abroad fans out there than perhaps one would think? #jerseyaday #football #arsenal

Back to Dakar, Senegal for today’s Google Maps football jersey. This dapper-looking gentleman has an AS Roma shirt (technically I don’t think this is a jersey as it is missing the advertising) bearing Morgan de Sanctis’ name & number, so at latest from 2016. Photo from April ‘23. #jerseyaday

Today’s Google Maps football jersey search is Rio de Janeiro, Brazil! I cheated a little and went to a football stadium first to see if anyone was wearing their kit, and this fan did not disappoint: a 2023 Vasco de Gama FC home jersey from May 2024. #jerseyaday #football

Today’s Google Maps football jersey search is Johannesburg, South Africa, and took a good 10 minutes to find this very clean-looking 2018 Al Hilal home jersey at 79 De Villiers St from 12/2023. A Saudi league jersey in South Africa? Definitely not on my Jersey bingo card! #jerseyaday #football

RIP Dave. The Grid remains timelessly genius, and you will be missed.

This is the slippery slope to US citizens being killed without trial. You may not agree, but once this type of non-citizen murder is accepted in the name of the “National good” there is only one inevitable outcome, and it is lawlessness where only results matter.

Today’s Google Maps football jersey search took about 15 seconds in Dakar, Senegal! A 2021 FC Bayern Munich away jersey in black taken in February 2022 … not entirely what I expected to see first (and so quickly!) on this effort. Proof that Bayern has fans everywhere? #football #jerseyaday

Picard management tip: Fight for what you know is right. Only arrogant bullies think resistance is futile.

One of my favorite down-time hobbies is looking randomly on Google Maps and seeing how long it takes to find someone wearing a football jersey. Today’s hit: a random Arsenal fan in Lagos, from October 2019. It took about 12 blocks to find: #football #Arsenal

Is next week a new episode, or a Halloween re-run? @roadshowpbs.bsky.social #AntiquesRoadshow

Thank you #AntiquesRoadshow sponsors, and if that includes any viewers a special thank you to you! Support your local PBS station and programming!

The bacchanal vase goes down but there is always moneyed interest in Patek Phillipe, sigh. People got some seriously misplaced priorities nowadays. #AntiquesRoadshow

No maps, but THREE watches at once. #AntiquesRoadshow #mapsorweriot

"The dancing naked ladies ... that might have been a problem for some." BOOOOOOO to those some #antiquesroadshow

Bacchanalia must be out of style, sadly. 😔 #AntiquesRoadshow

Bacchanal +Antiques Roadshow = After Dark #AntiquesRoadshow

I’m impressed the appraiser could read the ink on the bottom of this pot. Montoya would have been the last thing I thought that spelled. That being said: this pot better be worth $$$ because it is just awesome. #AntiquesRoadshow #GreatArt

It went up in value! Hooray! #antiquesroadshow

So regal and proud. I hope its value matches its quality. #AntiquesRoadshow

Salesmen sample. Drink! #AntiquesRoadshow

Experimental parachute design was not offered as a career by my high school guidance counselor, to her everlasting infamy. #AntiquesRoadshow

Gotta think when you hear “cut steel, not platinum” you know your dream value ain’t happening. #AntiquesRoadshow

This wall tree (just learned that now!) is fascinating. Strong religious feelings coming off of it. And mahogany as the secondary wood? That seems a bit bourgeois and overkill. #AntiquesRoadshow

That’s a way to make your art more collectible: get killed in a bar fight! I guess the last 16 years haven’t been kind to that marketing ethos - it dropped $30k! #AntiquesRoadshow

That item was from 1982? Really getting on the cusp of “antique” there. I have t-shirts older than that (don’t judge me). #AntiquesRoadshow
