Smoldering 5 story brick building

Sad to see the old warehouse building that housed the outdoor equipment business,Tent City burned down yesterday.

I bought a backpack for cub scout camping in the 90's.

The Cowboys are so bad at player management. If Jerry had hired a real GM after Super Bowl 30 they'd probably have 3 or 4 more SB appearances by now. But the owner wants to cosplay GM and they never make it past round 1 because of it.

Was just remembering Harkki today. I think his Twitter was @scandusa .

That was peak Sports Twitter times.

Calling Mike Harrington, Mark Harringbone

It was weird. I was so into those playoffs. Went to a game in every round. Drove 12 hours from NY for ECF game 5 in Raleigh.

But when we lost I went to Germany for the World Cup & completely tuned out.

Think I saw the result in an internet cafe.

I definitely wish Edmonton had won

Tyler Boyd scoring a meaningless touchdown to send the Bills to the playoffs in 2017.

As a Bills fan it's almost like a reverse rivalry w the Bengals. I rooted for CIN in SB 23 after losing in the AFCCG.

And I honestly was not mad when y'all beat us in the playoffs a few years back.

Plus the Damar situation & Dalton/Boyd breaking the draught for us.

Sabres injuries in 2006. Carolina was an excellent team and it should really be no shame to have lost to them. But with the injuries on defense it would have been great to see how it might've ended if Buffalo had a full healthy D group.

That game was so violent. I was enjoying the rivalry aspect of it but a couple of those hits were like 'OK I hope that guy is actually still breathing'

the world today if scott norwood's last kick of super bowl XXV had been two feet to the left

We also have one of these hanging out.

We got a #monarchbutterfly I believe. First one I've seen in our garden this summer.

No way, this is nuts

Female and male American Goldfinch

There's an American Goldfinch couple that visit our sunflowers.🌻 They're a seed-eating bird that breeds later than other birds. Which makes sense why I am seeing them eating sunflower seeds in July.

The hummingbirds are going Ham on my flowers. I am unsure if this is because we failed to put out a hummingbird feeder this summer?

Or if the variety of flowers we planted this year are more hummingbird-friendly than usual.

Hannibal Hamlin - VP to Lincoln 1861-65

If Lincoln was assassinated in his first term we would have had a President named Hannibal.

The great thing about living in a state that votes 53% D is i'm allowed to say that if your state votes 53% R your kids deserve to die. I'm still a good person because of where I live. Please dont all applaud at once

My mom and stepdad are from the same diaspora group as Zohran Mamdani’s dad (same like “my stepdad was kicked out of the same town and knows some of his classmates”) and apparently the New York Times doesn’t understand how diaspora works, so I am going to tell you a little about my mom’s people!

$52.6M ?! That's almost 'Kirk Cousins' type money!

when both wolves inside me died, the deer began to flourish. left unchecked, all flora consumed, starvation took the herd. cascading failure has driven my spiritual ecosystem to total collapse. i cough up their bones and add them to my Bone Man; a skeletal golem built to generate shareholder value,

Farmers Markets!

Product of suburbs & SUV life. Never interact with people outside of controlled situations so they become afraid of general human interaction.
