Striking resemblance to Boris Karloff as Frankenstein’s Monster

The turf fields are so much hotter! And PIP too, like lava on a summer day.

As end-of-empire scenarios go it is so much more dignified to get your capital city sacked by the Visigoths than to have a bunch of illiterate rich people in their 70s doing it through a series of incomprehensible tantrums because their brains were defeated by their phones.

Holy shit, great analogy to a great sci fi novel, maybe the most rewarding one I’ve ever read (also incredibly complex). Glad to know there are others out there that get deep understanding from reading what most people write off as juvenile.

My S/O would love to build and operate a kiosk, but it is basically an impossible proposition in our locality

We have food trucks because dumb American zoning laws wildly oversupply parking while making it impossible to build a kiosk.

I lived within 1 mile of Mile High and living near a stadium is rightly considered an eyesore / QOL impact, not an amenity. Find a place where there is high end housing near a stadium and I’ll reconsider, but it is broadly agreed upon not good to be near one.

Defense Minister Denys Shmyhal and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte discussed a new initiative enabling allies to purchase U.S. weapons for Ukraine, including Patriot systems. After the Ramstein meeting, Shmyhal thanked countries ready to join and praised Rutte’s strong support for Ukraine.

It’s a distraction so you stop realizing that he trafficked and raped little girls with Jeff Epstein

FH Furr primarily want to upsell you things you don’t need. You need to find an HVAC guy

Fully agree. I liked the sexy parts, but watching Russian gangsters do gangster shit the rest of the movie was not my jam.

It really is amazing what happens to cities when you stop allowing cars to park in every odd space they can physically fit into. Human life flourishes

The trouble is, having an unwavering sense of justice in the real world will just piss off the people around you, especially if it’s related to your work, and let’s face it, if you have this outlook, you’ll never be the boss.

I don’t want to hear another god damned plan from the Dems to invest in red states to try and win them over. They clearly hate us and will weaponize the government against us when they have power. If Dems ever get power again, the only thing that matters is to enfranchise DC, PR and others.

I know this is an unpopular take, but sports that kill or cause the premature deaths of their participants are not deserving of public support nor fandom. As true of football, moto GP, and Red Bull Rampage. Sports where people die should end.

Hero from Millennium appears before a council of geriatric elders kept alive in tanks

This pic reminds me of the scene in Millennium when the heroine appears before the council of elders:

The police militarization debate is over Quaint disputes about the proper role of police and military have been superseded by a more urgent threat: Donald Trump is creating his own, personal paramilitary force

I met a ton of friends on old Twitter, and became friends with them IRL. Lots of bike rides organized on the site. I've met a few new folks here or on Mastodon, but for various reasons, it seems more challenging.

Leftists: “the income gap is huge, we need a more equal society”
Trump: I’m going to destroy any institution that crosses me, I don’t care who it hurts
Leftists: “not like that!”

The yellowed eyes add to the overall look.

I had a slow leak leading to a flat on a bike ride meeting today, and a shifter cable break on the same ride. I had to do a multi-step rescue of the bike with my cargo hauler to get it home and get day camp pickup done. I’m a sweaty mess all around, and have now fixed both issues +new cable housing!

Astonishing. Surely his aparatchiks won't flinch or object to whatever the latest horror is, but every person whohas competed in anything realizes what an absolute bizarre and unacceptable behavior this is. Who would keep the winner's trophy for themselves? Only this narcissist goldbug!

Also, most people do not want Boris Karloff as their leader, preferring to keep him in the rightful position of monster to chase with pitchforks and torches

OK that's pretty cute. Nathan's hot dogs is cutting a promo with the MTA to highlight the company's original Coney Island shop. The N, F, and Q lines form a hot-dog-shaped nexus on the new subway map

Like, the main reason not to take these PEDs is that there has yet to be a clinically proven safe dose that doesn’t have substantial downsides for longevity. Maybe the medical community is about to find one, but until they do, you are making a pretty big gamble with your health.
