Yeah, unfortunately you won’t get that from the LEDs that are almost everywhere now. Wait, when was the last time…?

Good old neon (from 2007?)

I knew I saw this somewhere before. Funny that it’s almost exactly what’s actually happening now.

That is sweet…Wish my daughters had your perspective on things :)

Happy almost New Year! (house cleaning sounds)

Trump administration drops appeal of court order blocking $1.2-billion UCLA settlement The Trump administration dropped its appeal of a major higher education case in which a federal judge blocked its $1.2-billion settlement proposal to UCLA over alleged civil rights violations. It will...

路口上的親親影城

Who says independent theaters can’t survive? Taichung’s Chin Chin Cinema (親親影城) has been in business since 1986.

So an odd thing here is that if you say "an unidentified man dressed in a Batman costume" your point is to communicate "it is not really Batman" but the problem is that the real Batman, within the fiction of the comic book "Batman", is also, literally, an unidentified man dressed in a Batman costume

We Can Fight This: Minnesota’s General Strike Shows How A day before Alex Pretti’s brutal killing by federal agents in the Minneapolis steets, Minnesota showed us a way forward: the general strike.

Only a future of general strikes involving large-scale disruptions has the chance of stopping Trump’s forces.
