Mega-vacuum former MK II is coming along quite well. It should be ready in few hours to pull Daft Punk visors for Thursday’s show

Dutch cycling infrastructure during the school run, showing why safe infrastructure is vital if we want children to cycle to school. From a fietsstraat, where bikes have priority, to protected cycle tracks where cars must give way to bikes at every junction. Safe, convenient cycling for everyone.

I love the part of my job where I learn super complex things, and I break them down for readers. Me on a Friday night, still writing: Oh, this fucking sucks. Hey everyone, magnets are really hard to make. That's all you need to know.

Remember, embodying the spirit of straight animals is actually more gay.

Remember when Kia was gonna bring an updated Soul EV to the US with like 230 miles of range. Man that would’ve been a dope used EV right. I drove it in Korea it was awesome. Sigh.

There's certainly an appeal to being able to jam out a game prototype with prompts, but it's a pretty damning indictment that the trailer for this shows someone creating an incredibly bland, uninspired game that has no reason to exist. Making something worth playing would still be incredibly hard.

I wish I had an answer. People just want to complain and be heard while dragging others down. At some point, I just block people like that. which is not ideal, but this is my acct and I'll post how I wanna post and if people have problems, they can be banished to the realm of ghosts and leaves

Hive mind question: Instead of the usual Silver and Gold Daft Punk helmets, I'm thinking of making the helmets orange and black for next week's show. you know, for halloween. Should I get some bat, witch, vampire stencils? seems like took much thoughts

Also, it's fucking weird to me that there is a whole cottage industry of breakfast tacos in texas. I mean it's just breakfast in a Mexican household. But it works and people have jobs, so good on you texas for this weird thing where teenagers serve me tacos in a shiny restaurant.
