Happy World #TsunamiDay to all who celebrate - which should be all of us, because you never know where you'll be when disaster strikes. Preparedness and mitigation make us all safer regardless of where we live, especially as our world is increasingly connected on a global scale.

No matter how hard people try to convince us having empathy is wrong,

it is right.

No matter how hard people try to convince us that diversity is a weakness,

it is a strength.

No matter how hard people try to convince us that love is limited,

it is unlimited.

Y'all. It's the year of our Lord, 2025. It is dead simple to put up a website as a candidate explaining why you're running and where you stand on stuff. If you're not even going to bother to put in that effort, why should I spend one iota of a second considering you to run my town?

Rest in peace, Jet Star 2.

Farewell to an iconic piece of roller coaster history. Thanks for all the whiplash!

Standard Transit | Brunton | Made in USA Built with all of the functionality and features of traditional Brunton pocket transits, the Standard Transit features a hard-anodized aluminum body and a flat base with a non-slip silicone insert.

Me, watching a Shawn Willsey YouTube video talking about strike & dip: "Oooh, that's a nifty compass. It would be fun to have one!"

Me, 5 minutes later, looking at the product website: "Oh. Never mind."

Re-watching the 'Father of the Bride (1991)' & 'Father of the Bride II (1995)' pair in memory of Diane Keaton. Good grief, these movies are so stinking charming, it almost hurts your teeth.
