I’m always waiting for the day at 5 month old swimming class where they get to go in the sauna

This creeped me out— someone on our block has scattered a 9-12-2001 New York Times all over the sidewalk

i can just HEAR the Replacements song called “Whippin Shitties.” Somewhere between take me to the hospital and Gary’s got a boner

This is actually where I was born, but I’ve never had one of these tell me this before! I usually get where I grew up or where my parents grew up. Weird

I feel insane that I opened bluesky and saw this post when i just read this page of my bird book

A page of a textbook with the heading “origins of flight, feathers, and warm body temperatures”

This old classic popped up on my instagram and I wanted to save it for posterity

We are looking to book a little trip before my wife‘s maternity leave ends and now instagram keeps showing me ads for renting this house

I wonder if this is an error in the @baseballprospectus.com annual— huge projected decline in framing runs saved for the Mets’ Luis Torrens? Or maybe I’m misreading?

It looks like this outside my window? Is that bad?

The “Magic The Gathering” card “Winter Orb.” The art depicts two polar bears on a pile of snowy, bloody bones. One is roaring at an icy orb floating in front of them with a disturbingly organ-like texture carved into it.

A “triumvirate” doesn’t just mean any three things

I would have worn my homemade Grateful Dead shirt today but it’s in the laundry bin because I wear it basically once a week

A white t shirt with large red text that says “Harper College, May 2nd 1970”

Do we think this was Martin Scorsese at the Brooklyn Costco last week?

You just gotta believe me that this harvest moon or whatever looks crazy when it’s not on an iPhone camera

This is for the YouTube API for looking at ad revenue and user engagement. Why would I want to put that information into a mobile app, web app, or onto a TV? Which one of these is “I’m downloading the data to put it in a database for analysis, which you explicitly say is the purpose of this API.”

2 years in I finally looked this up. I thought it was about timing, like if you swing a split second earlier it’s as if you pulled the ball towards the bat (instead of waiting for it to come to you)

Can’t decide which one is funnier

Getting ready to run Bloodmarm Barrow by @bradkerr.net for the Brooklyn OSR crew today

A small model of a highland cow (a brown, shaggy cow from Scotland) stands atop a pile of copies of the rulebook for Cairn. Some scattered pencils and character sheets rest next to it. Behind the cow is a dungeon master’s screen, covered in an illustration of spooky things happening in a forest

NYC communist groups love recruiting with the pitch “first of all, I assume you’re already a communist, right?”

Unfortunately it was too windy for this sky writer to pull off the Fantastic 4 logo for long before it blew away

Some shots around the neighborhood

When you put it like this it’s a bit embarrassing

Search text from the reservations app OpenTable that says “you searched for Pizza in New York City”

Obsessed with this 1300 year old Japanese burial offering statue being auctioned as a “semi-abstract statue” bundled with some postcards as part of the David Lynch estate. It feels like they literally didn’t google translate the tag on the back? The estimated value is “$200-300”

I was gonna send my dad a text about who he shares a birthday with but the only people on the list I’d heard of are Mark David Chapman, Rick Santorum, Sid Vicious, and Bono. Cursed!

Someone re-shared this 14 year old Reddit post about making pernil, beans, and tostones that really set me on a path at age 23 (not posting all 5 parts bc you get the idea)

I think about this so often. I remember the first time I had this experience and was like “oh my god of course”

Stan Lee could not even conceive of how much the answer to these questions is No right now

Are you comfortable? Are you relaxed? Do you have time to read this whole story through without interruption!? Please don’t start unless your answer is yes. Because the action starts right now… and it doesn’t stop until the last page! Ready? Ok… here comes the thriller of a lifetime!!!

This sequence where Iron Man is digging under this father and daughter arguing and then bursts out under their conversation floored me. Iron Man is still my least favorite by a mile though

Also once you learn that Ditko and Kirby did a lot of romance comics before they got back into superheroes, you really notice the womens’ clothes

It feels very consistent that for each 60s Marvel comic I’ve read, it abruptly becomes really good after about 12-15 issues.
