seen in NC a while back
back of a blue honda S2000 with a big wing, red honda badge, aftermarket taillights, evasive motorsports plate frame, and the first in freedom plate reading 2-SQQN-JR, which makes me think someone already has 2 SOON JR

Cover of "Fuel Economy: A Seatrade Study" from December 1983. A hand in a suit sleeve holds a dropper of dark liquid beneath the huge black word "FUEL" and below a much smaller word "ECONOMY," suggesting fuel measured out drop by drop.

Like, the SC GOP 10 years ago did not govern with the priorities I have but acted as if completely disregarding the electorate was a bad idea. This has changed since then, but NC was already there.

Spotted a dilapidated second-generation KA8 Acura Legend coupe while driving home last night. These are now very rare for this reason: rust. While many believe these were built in Ohio, they were all imported from Japan.

The inefficiency of newspaper classified ads propping up democracy is the greatest positive externality I can think of. Incredible societal benefit from deeply suboptimal little squares of text.

like, I can see where the time savings might be, but I don't work on green-field proof-of-concept feature-factory webapps professionally, I work on awful heterogeneous legacy systems where there's no business case to do rewrites (incidentally this is the same reason I don't like Agile/Scrum/etc)

15 years of stagnation in NC because the R legislative majority is divided into rival factions of local gentry and degenerate teabagger/magas who only come together to punish cities and minorities. Fuck those people.

Brothers and Sisters. Postcard from my collection, mailed 1905.
Black-and-white photo of two tabby kittens and two tabby and white kittens. They are sitting on a little studio scene with books and a wooden box that looks like a jewelry box or humidor. Text at the bottom says brothers and sisters.
