This photo shows mostly corrosion at the base of the light, and a dark ring on the pavement bricks around the base. Hate to question a good story, but looks like a low point where rainwater (ok, and some amount of dog pee) was pooling every time it got wet.

A close-up of the base of the toppled streetlight. The metal base is tipped over, exposing the wiring within. The part of the base still attached to the ground is rusted in a near-horizontal line around the breakage point. The break point is also a neat horizontal line. Above the base, tbere is some patchy corrosion, but nothing even close to the thorough corrosion of the light's base. The ground around the light is paved with bricks. The area surrounding the light base is full of dirt, presumably deposited as water (ok, and some dog pee) pooled there. This area of ground is also stained dark from frequently being wetted.

Yeah man I spent 13 years of my life touring the country. I've been in places in this nation that you haven't even seen on a map. I've met people in cities of 15m and towns of 1500.
I've been to suburban and rural Europe and slept on floors there. I know more about this than you do.
Eat shit.

"Hey so did I ever tell you our payment processor is set up to accept Japanese food now? Yeah, you name it, katsu, yakiniku, sashimi, katsu...

An image of a Shetland sheepdog (tricolor,
Irish fur pattern, fully pricked ears) sitting on a hardwood floor while looking expectantly up towards a hand holding a plate with a fried pork chop breaded with panko, katsu-style.

He's got the eyes. The Puppy Mode eyes. You know what I mean by that, reader,
He is ready to go full Sheltie mode with the barking and so on.

One thing i do not feel conflicted about on the fourth is enjoying delicious bbq

This year's spread for dinner on the fourth. We've got plates in a sort of diamond arrangement: to the right, some lightly blanched broccoli, at top, a bowl of scratch-made french fries (Kenji Lopez-Alt's recipe but with canola subbed for peanut oil), to the left, a bowl of watermelon cubes, and finally, at bottom, closest to the camera, some baby back ribs with a Memphis-style rub (Steven Raichlen's recipe).

For the 4th feast, I'm smoking some ribs. Using Stephen Raichlen's Memphis Rub recipe, with some small tweaks and substitutions like using a different chili powder.

A plastic jar of ted chile powder with a white label with red label trim and a red lid. The label features ab image of some bright red chiles right in front of a black-and-white line drawing of a home or other building built in a traditional Korean style. The trademarks in the upper corners of the label feature words in Korean written in Hangul (I can't read it). The handwritten Korean-language main label is in Hangul, as well. In English in smaller font in the corner,

"Fine red pepper powder
Spice up your flavor!

(Small font)red pepper had lots of carotenoids, VitaminA and VitaminC

Net Wt. 7oz (200g)"

Mostly, I'm critical of people locking down interactions on their skeets, but there are a few accounts, like Jon Bois, that are doing wonderful things with this feature:

A skeet from Jon Bois that I had to screenshot to post with commentary because of the aforementioned reposting and engagement restrictions. It reads:

I'm happy for all knicks fans, of course, but this win means a little more to those of us who jumped on the bandwagon over the last four years. unlike the lifelong fans who root for any knicks team they put out there, we chose this team specifically. these are our guys. this is our championship.

Too bad I don’t still have the 45 with this cover art

A picture of the 7” vinyl single of 80s/90s punkers Bad Religion’s “American Jesus.” The record itself looks pretty much like other 45s. The cover art includes an American flag pattern as backdrop, in front of which “American Jesus” stands along with two nearly naked women fawning over him, who are wearing only the head covering from a Catholic nun’s habit. Big Jeeze himself has some big steroidy arms and a pot-belly. He is white and has long, he-man style hair. Instead of a crown of thorns, he has a crown of barbed wire. AJ is flexing to show off his right bicep.

Who could have guessed that this wasn’t a stable status quo?

Coping with the collapse of society by cooking really unhealthy but tasty food, in this case, scratch chicken nuggets. Texture came out nicely this time, I am getting better at this.
