In his favor, it was dark & he didn't see me. I got dropped off a few blocks beyond the train stop & walked back.

Agreed. Park & Ride doesn't need a ding

I was the only rider on a late bus one night, going to the end of the line. I didn't ding the bell, it being the end of the line and all.

The driver just roared through the stop, switching his sign to "out of service" at 50 mph, going home.

I always ding

Nazi propaganda poster showing an idealized "aryan" family. The poster extols the ideal "volk" - ruddy cheeked, fair haired, healthy, surrounded by nature's beauty and bounty. 

It displays the state ideal of the family, including  proper family size, a patriarchal structure with a protective father, nurturing mother and obedient, well behaved children.

Patents are a blond couple with four blond children, mother on the viewers left, father right. The children range in age from an infant nursing in the mother's arms to a toddler daughter standing holding a doll in front of the mother, to an older 2nd daughter with her father's arm around her, and an oldest son in the foreground. He is in shorts and kneeling, playing in the sand at the parents' feet, watched by the toddler. The children appear to be 2- 3 years apart in age. The family is at the edge of an apparent rustic structure - a rough vertical wooden post and the cross beam it supports in a Y structure are visible. They are framed by various wildflowers on both sides, dominated by a large sunflower on the left. In the foreground before the mother is a trowel and there is a fruit basket at her feet. In the foreground on the far right is a melon or pumpkin.

Calling girlfriend in US from overseas.

You reserved a booth at the central telephone exchange, in person, for a set time.

Price: $3/minute. My pay was $168.60/ mo, or ~$112 take home.

The operator made the call & stayed on the line with you to manage the static, sound fade and breaks

Intimate

Party line phones. Different households (different houses) shared a line. If someone else was on the line you couldn't make or receive a call until they hung up.

OTOH, you could eavesdrop on the neighbors. Just had to be super careful in picking up the receiver so they couldn't hear you.

Red and black "Pravy Sektor" (Right Sector) business card for leader Dmytro Yarosh. In 2014 Russia & pro-Russian separatists claimed to find such irrefutable evidence at sites of assassinations and sabotage in russian controlled areas of Ukraine. So ridiculous were the claims that the cards became a meme.

After the Flood When the earth drinks in the last of the waters, the places that remain will be different than they were beforeβ€”turned sacred by overwhelming loss.

The flooding in Texas β€œwas not a divine punishment with an in-built moral design, but rather a catastrophe half engineered by humanity, lacking in moral design altogether,” Elizabeth Bruenig writes:

They let their own children drown because they were too far gone into the MAGA cult.

And none of them will ever admit they were wrong.

Children Died to Own the Libs - emptywheel "Dead in the water," they joked at a Kerr County commissioners meeting when discussing a flood alert system. But sure, DEI must be the reason why children were sacrificed to flood waters.

I'm a professor at the flagship university for the fourth whitest state in the US. Over 80% of our students are white.

The biggest barrier to access here is that due to lack of state funding, we have top 10 highest tuition per capita of public unis in the country.

We also have a food pantry.
