Post a shot of your favorite Robert Duvall movie here. I’ll start…

Important thread. The war on liberal arts has always really been a war on the ability for people to clearly see society as it really is, and not how the fasc would like to portray and enforce. Acts like this are intended as a conveyance into a post-truth society. Don’t accept it.

Thanks for that!

Amanda Gorman is a treasure

Scientists: octopi evolved completely differently from mammals and may be the most intelligent species on our planet

West Philly skyline tonight. Amazing!

I think it was a very similar time frame for the original putsch as well. History often rhymes…

There are several you see in Philadelphia driving around. Frankly surprised Philly people don’t treat them as a sort of a challenge…

75 to 85. But really just 68-72…

Paint may not be infrastructure, but it advances the argument that roads are not just for private passenger vehicles…

At Roger’s in Toronto we launched WebTV using Scientific Atlanta Explorer 2000 cable set top boxes. Horrible slow performance but a real proof of concept. When we turned it off a couple of years later the last user was using the tv-based email to run a small business.

Having eaten lunch at 7-11 and Lawson every day in Tokyo for months I have high hopes for the transformation they are trying to accomplish.

Original YTV staff member here. Think Canadian Nickelodeon. The CRTC licensed entire demographic-based channels so that broadcasters could pull in big ad $$ on US programming while also spending $ on Canadian productions as a condition for being able to do so.

Suggest the books of Wendy Long Stanley, who researched early records and wrote an historical fiction novel about how Betsy Ross could have been the person who did that, and why it reasonably might not have been well known.
I’m biased about her work, but the research was pretty thorough…

Rode out Wilma just north of Tulum in 05. The biggest issue for us was lack of comms after all the towers blew down. Total devastation on the ground and the tall glass hotels were poor choices. The smaller buildings did surprisingly ok as long as they were set back from the beach.

Philadelphia showed up today

Let’s embrace the spirit of that…

This is an extraordinary document for what it reveals about the beliefs of those who wrote it.

Because driving a good car is like poetry in motion…

If your commute gets too frustrating just put on the new Philip Glass album and tell yourself you are part of the latest koyanisqatsi revival…

Closely related, the drive until you can find a hotel with an open room on a long weekend…

Buckle up

DONE!

Where can I get one of those?

Still with you

Happy Pi day for those who celebrate!

A lot like a wrinkle in time. Trying to be taken seriously
