Today's watch is another vintage piece -- a really clean 1970 Caravelle Shark Bite Devil Diver, so named for the "Mark of the Beast" depth rating of 666 feet. It's mounted on a sweet Jack Foster Horween leather strap.

A little elbow grease with some Polywatch and a Cape Cod cloth plus a cheap sailcloth strap I had laying around, and hey, not bad for $55.

JFC: "Per Field of Schemes, 'the absolute minimum cost to D.C. taxpayers for Harris’s RFK Stadium site project, then, is $7.5 billion,' but could potentially be up to three times as much as that by the end of the lease."

Grabbed this vintage Sheffield for $55 off Posh that despite having a pin lever movement still sort of works and will look good once I polish the crystal and put on a new band. Lume works great! But also, it's almost surely radioactive and causes cancer, which is bad.

The shittiest thing about this Politico story as how it treats autistic people as inherently less valuable, utterly denying their humanity, which is exactly what Nazis want the press to do.

Today, in watch things: when the mailman brings you three new-to-me dive watches at the same time.

There is probably no politician hated by The Gays more than Mayor Cheesy Pete, a do-nothing opportunist who is just is a closet case Log Cabin Republican. Go back to Indiana and stay there.

Just saw a Wagoneer S, which is one more of those than I've seen of the Charger EV

I just saw signs for a high school having a "Mattress Sale" for a fundraiser, and I have SO many questions

Ezra Klein is a great guy! Well, except for the creepy part about a man who can't say no.

As a gay person old enough to remember the time when a President was perfectly willing to let all my people die of AIDS

I had a Republican politico say to me yesterday in rapid succession that inflation is a worry for the administration but Mamdani's election would be a gift to Trump, and my brother, nobody in Peoria will give a shit who NYC elects when a replacement car battery costs $400 at the AutoZone.

I just finished The Measure by Nikki Erlick. I'm pretty sure my string was significantly shortened by this treacly crap. #boolsky

Sure, some people will give up TikTok, but look at how many people are still on Twitter.

A hot wind is blowing

I love articles with headlines that are just demonstrably false.

"It is not our proudest product placement,'' said Toyota spokesperson Wade Hoyt to the New York Times. ''But it shows that the Taliban are looking for the same qualities as any truck buyer: durability and reliability.''

My language skills include English, French, a smattering of German, and a deep fluency in DC parking signs

Flawless #carspotting victory

The fact that Toyota, the one OEM as anti-EV as Stellantis, plans to keep working at EV SUVs for the US while Dodge-Ram eventually kills all its product should tell you exactly how this will end* for Stellantis. *Bankruptcy

Ford 021C and Hyundai Vision 74N will never not be the answers.

The only "transgender ideology" I'm aware of is that everyone deserves the right to live their lives with respect and without others butting in telling them they're wrong for being who they are.

Please use a lot of caution in reporting and analyzing early clues. They might mean something — they might mean the opposite.

So Grok says it's a false flag event

Encore, Encore!

Hyundai is bringing back the Veloster as an EV and calling it the IONIQ 3, which implies an IONIQ 3 N is also possible. But you're American, and your Trump-loving cousin means we won't get this. Why do you still talk to that asshole again?

There is nothing more surreal than swimming in the pool where you learned to swim as a child. I swear that diving platform was a hell of a lot higher back in the day.

Spoiler Alert: the whole list is just Paddington Bear 2.

rabbit hole still deep, I can go further I promise

Holy what the actual my god people. This is absolutely insane.

I'm at Dulles and I still have to take the fucking People Mover

You can tell it's fiction, because in real life, this kid would have been offered a job as a taxi driver on the spot

Important to remember that everyone involved in renaming the DoD to the Department of War is afraid to take the subway.

Christ, it's the year of our lord 2025. Stop referring to every new EV with the question, "Is this the Tesla killer?"

So who knows the dim sum-style all you-can-eat $15 east Texas fried chicken delight that is Pickett House? Literally the best fried chicken you'll ever have.

Now THIS is a cocktail: the Kimcheese. Cheddar cheese vodka, green onion vermouth, kimchi juice, tomato water, lemon juice and fish sauce.

You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become a doddering old racist fuck

This was not in self defense and drug smuggling is not a capital offense. These are extrajudicial killings — mass murder on the high seas illegally ordered by the President of the United States. US service personnel do not get to play judge, jury, and executioner.

What is wrong with Seattle that everything here happens at like 5:30 AM?

There will be no 'West'? What he means is no predominantly white bloc of states with a monopoly on power. That for him is The West, its primary power is ethnic dominance. Because concern with 'birth rate' certainly has nothing to do with reproducing and ensuring democratic values and culture.

And, now we know: it's a Sunrise Riva. Sunrise built neo-classics in Des Moines, WA -- in the same converted gas station where I spotted this, 80 or so trikes, roadsters and sedans based off the Mustang and DeVille. Thanks to @wesnotfewer.bsky.social & @basmitharts.bsky.social for identification.

I have no idea what this is except hideous so here I am, sharing it with you #weirdcarb
