i like that the architect knows all of the drone strikes were evil

*Bruce Springsteen voice* woah-oh-oh I'm online

god I wish that were me

we all contain multitudes

message from Lisbeth: okay! lmk when you’ve at the curb and what door # you’re at message from Victoria: We’re back in mainland SEATAC after a stay in the N Gate Special Administrative Zone

this joke is for all of my Seattle followers with too much knowledge on hand about how our airport is laid out

at long last, we have created The Colossal Space Sarcophagus You Are Inexorably Drawn Into The Terrible Void Within from My Childhood Colossal Space Sarcophagus Nightmares

Mr. Evrart is helping me find my shoe horn.

I'm a busy man, Marco!

he's doing the Evrart's Uncomfortable Chair thing to his own guys

trump not beating the "should have been a legacy fashion magazine editor-tyrant" allegations

one of the resounding voices of our time

they're building a New Safe Confinement structure to prevent Obama's legacy from doing further damage

it is for me

Taking off my shoes to show the President that I have two, small, delicate "Lotus feet." He gives a low, appreciative whistle. "Wow. Look at that." He nods at a Marine who raises a mallet and smashes Marco Rubio's foot.

there's an uncanny-valley aspect to colourised B&W photos and movies that really doesn't sit well with me. doesn't help that the people doing that kind of stuff tend to have that "a little bit too interested in The Way Things Were" marble-statue-avatar aura that gives me the creeps.

There should be a counter-strike map with verdant glades and a beautiful sunset

getting real mad at the proliferation of 4K-upscaled 60fps colourised versions of archival footage. SHOW ME THE REAL THING, NOT YASSIFIED SLOP FROM THE LIES MACHINE.

accidentally clicking on microsoft edge and being given a heavy blast of coworker belief news stories while i scramble for the close button. just three headlines can cause untold damage

all ails can be cured by a cat climbing on you

Surely Luke Skywalker is the Che Guevara of Tatooine, right? Hometown boy blows up Death Star, comes back, destroys a cartel, and then blows up ANOTHER Death Star. Toshi Station is just covered with posters of this guy. People are writing ballads. Punks are wearing orange flight suits. Everywhere.

Someone should make a miniature bulldozer that can be operated by a housecat. Generally I don't think cats should be allowed to operate bulldozers but I think we can all agree it would be pretty funny to see at least once

yet another case of this:

there’s a brewery near me (Fair State) that frequently had unusual beers in their taproom, very much bucked the trend when everyone was competing to make the hoppiest possible IPA

they closed their taproom though, and seem to have scaled back to much more mundane offerings. I’m still in mourning.

they grow up so fast 🥲. it was memorably enjoyable then, and it’s got to be satisfying to see how the flavour evolves with time.

it’s not even that I dislike hop-forward beers - I’ve had some great ones! there’s just so much *more* out there to experience!

I have been saying this for years!

Working theory is that it’s probably a bad spark plug wire? I was trying to cheap out and not replace them because unlike the plugs and cap, they looked fine, but maybe there’s an internal break that I made worse by disturbing the wires. Ah well.

yeah

thinking about the time I noticed the MGA was timed wrong and decided to fix it, which ended up with me cracking the distributor housing trying to move it, because for some baffling reason it had been loctited in place.
