Busan has a new resident named Bukangi, a shark who started chilling in the canals near the train station a couple weeks ago. The city has been trying all sorts of schemes to gently lead her back to the ocean but she foils every attempt and swims back and forth being admired by crowds of fans.

This really puts stuff like publicly funded third spaces in perspective for me. It's so relatively cheap to build out community centers, gyms, makerspaces, studios etc.

One of the really cool things about this case is that one of the lead plaintiffs is Lioness - a nonprofit run by women who did time in sweltering Texas prisons themselves. Then they got out and spearheaded this lawsuit that could drastically improve life for all their sisters still inside.

Yes. It does not matter if you think the Kennedy Center is bougie: private individuals do not get to destroy public goods. If you budge one iota on this stance, then you lose the right to object when he demands bits of the national parks as a treat. You've already agreed with him on the principle.

This is such a fucking clown ass hobby.

An endless pile of yellow seams ripped out next to a pair of scissors and seam ripper

How far it sewed before the thread broke and I had to rip the seam out and start over. 6 inches?

How close I got to the other end before the thread broke and I had to give up on everything. 9 inches?

Still not as bad as the time my friend did this “aesthetic” for her kid with *spray paint*

A children’s playroom with a gray wall, beige carpet, and white trim. The toys have been spray painted in bronze, silver, and gold and are no longer bright primary colors.

The Orioles scored a season-high eight runs in the third inning tonight. Leody Taveras and Dylan Beavers had two hits each in the frame, and the Orioles receive a standing ovation after the third out. Baltimore leads Cleveland, 8-2

One of the most important and powerful things art can do is not to reflect yourself back to you, especially as you'd like to see yourself, but to make you imagine someone whose life is very different from yours, whose values may be very different from yours, and to consider them as a full person.

This one is now framed, too, and it's mounted in the frame (unlike the lil raven piece which can also be sold unframed). $285 (+ shipping or free local delivery), the Wilkens-Robins Building in downtown Baltimore, cast-iron architecture meets Polish cut-paper folk art

Photo of a cut-paper art piece depicting a historic white cast-iron-front building in downtown Baltimore, at night. The interior windows of the building are many different colors of paper. The art piece is now framed in a distressed dark wood frame, and the framed art piece is photographed in the artist's hands to show the scale of it (pretty small but not tiny), against a plain grey wall.

They disinvented the VCR. You might think that the reason we don't have VCRs anymore is because VCRs were supplanted by DVDs, PVRs and streaming, but that's not the case. They had it in for the VCR from the very start, and they never stopped trying to kill it. Eventually, they succeeded. 1/

A 1960s family living room in which a mom, dad and two kids are mesmerized by a cabinet-style TV. The image has been altered. The TV has an early 1990s VCR atop it. The TV screen is displaying a cross-sectioned human head with brains and spine on display. A huge fist has materialized in the room, with bloody spiked knuckle-dusters, smashing into the VCR. The oil painting over the sofa has been replaced with a pulp image of a male head, its cranium removed and replaced by a dome. Inside the dome is a red eight-segment VCR clock, displaying 12:00. The background in the painting is a tangle of cassette tape. The whole image's colors have been boosted, giving it an overexposed look.
