I'll gonna miss the Obscure poscast if @michaelianblack.bsky.social really is hanging up the cleats #9years2rings. I enjoyed his real insights and close readings, and it introduced me to 3.5 books I would have probably never read (I bailed on season 3 when the Heights got too Wuthering).

I agree with you, but I want to give the name "Royal Leamington Spa" some recognition too.

There has to be a "best selling" artist from Rutland. Somebody's on Bandcamp and their mum paid for a download, or they sold a couple of CDs when they played at a pub in Uppingham. Get on it, map!

I feel like plenty of folks "of a certain age" use their facilities, although they definitely do host some events for the young-uns.

This happened in Austin TX while I lived there. There was an old lodge in one of the neighborhoods that became very cool, and the hipsters infiltrated and took over. I think Tim League, the founder of Alamo Drafthouse, was involved. It had a pool. I guess Turners is the local equivalent.

Was it clear what argument they were trying to make here? What did they think they were proving by relating these things?

We have to keep stocking the bogs now for there to be bogmen for future generations. You have to plant bogmen you'll never see ferment. I have some ideas for men to put in the bog.

It's just always been Like This for them! They don't remember a before times. What is that like? What is a person brewed entirely in This like?

My man looks like he has to drive past two strip clubs to get to the strip club that will still let him in.

Good Lord, even the USGS has fallen.

The USGS digital mapping download site with a banner message saying that per whatever Trump nonsense order Lake Ontario has been renamed to Lake America, and the USGS basemaps are being revised.

I sometimes wonder what variety of West Texas asshole Buddy Holly might have aged into had he not died at exactly the right time to become a saint. He'd have had plenty of time on the state fair & oldies circuit to say a lot of the kind of dumb shit aging stars with their best days behind them say.

I can hear The Price is Right loser horn looking at the picture, and I'll take my little moments of delicious pleasure where I can find them.

Our LG dishwasher failed 18 months into a 12 month warranty, and I've been googling warranty, repair, and other info about it. Love the irony of The Algorithm seeing that I'm interested in LG dishwashers and serving me nothing but ads for shiny new LG dishwashers all over my Internet experience.

Also three, and two of those only peripherally because mentions of them bleed out into political news, although I'm not really sure what they do. The Subways Takes guy I actually have watched his videos.

It's hard to express how much I hate this guy. There aren't words for it, at least in English.

Lake America. So weak. Absolute loser shit. So embarrassing and small and foolish. The sort of idea a drunk asshole has right before he falls off the roof and onto a picket fence.

Man, I'm sitting here trying to do my job, tearing up about the loss of an old lady I never have any contact with and never saw in real life.

Then he would use the other helicopter as a toothpick to dislodge an entire cured pork belly that had been stuck between his teeth since breakfast. Reacher.

James @bottledinbond.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

He would grab one of the helicopters, take off his ripped, dirty shirt, and wear the helicopter as a new, cleaner shirt.

Remember when widdle biddy Tom Cruise heard about Reacher and cast all 4'6" of himself as Reacher? I think about that sometimes when I'm watching Reacher.

I'm hearing that subscribing to this woman's Onlyfans is socially responsible and progressive. That's just what I'm hearing.

Airplanes keep zip ties and duct tape on board just in case they have to deal with a disruptive passenger, and I'm talking about the lunatic doing a TV broadcast, not y'all's perfectly appropriate response.

This is so obviously a story that ends with "and then the dangerously obsessed, mentally ill person [scene deleted] the object of their fixation", so can we just hurry up?

I look at that menu on the left and I know I'm getting the best lunch I've had this month. I'm not even stepping foot in that place on the right.

I thought he was broke? When most of us are broke, we have to stop doing stuff. I'd love to be the rich kind of broke.

Man, I can't even make any jokes about artisanal gold mining in the face of a what looks like a very traditional mining disaster.

I remember the last cassette I bought before I got a CD player was Green Day Kerplunk. I regretted getting that format once I had a knockoff discman. My first CD was probably some Garth Brooks. I contain multitudes.

Spudzy at Logan Street Market. Giant loaded baked potatoes. They're Turkish style (Kumpir), but they scratch my frequent itch for a British jacket potato.
