Because putting idiots in charge of teaching means no one really learns so the schools can eventually prove to be useless and unfunded. It is way more insidious than just their lack of credentials. ICE agents are a poison to any system they integrate into as shown by how badly ICE is performing.

Love the rocket exhausts point backwards and not down. Makes it feel like a kid is imagining and not an artist pretending to be a kid.

Yes, it’s worth your time and suits what you’re trying to do. Reading the short story from that link, it has a pulp noir mood. Art styles that might interest you are explored in Bill Watterson’s Tracer Bullet persona from Calvin and Hobbes and the much longer graphic novel AKA Goldfish by Brian Michael Bendis.

Black and white comics would do very well with a high contrast chiaroscuro style to build the mood.

Not sure what kind of time needs to pass for restoration to be called archaeology but this article doesn’t make that distinction.

When archaeologists began work on the site of Scotland’s first skatepark last August, there was one prominent question being asked - when had the ground actually been filled in?

They are looking for when in the 80s did a skatepark built in the 70s close. Calling it archaeology is clickbait and literally not worth your time.

MoO2 periodically for building ships and controlling the whole fleet. Stellaris is fine but so many systems are a chore in that game and at the same time paper thin in depth. Older games had tactics and strategy.

Crazy how no churches or ministries in that area are able to do what a handful of strippers did. Hopefully it’s a sign of the falling of the house of God

No! That’s how we got here!

Cat Power sang a short cover of Space Odyssey for a car commercial. It never got released into a full cover and it kills me to know it may never see release.

Missed a chance for SQUIRREL

So the dirt has spores that infect people’s lungs? Damn California, you nasty.

That’s now a screensaver on Roku devices.

Seems silly the left is to blame for nothing working when the right is actively hunting and disappearing the constituents of the left.

Besides, right wingers are crazy and lie to get their way all the time. A generation of reaching across the aisle has led to the country turning right more and more as concessions are only ever given to the right and never to the left.

The section of the 405 that they are looking to expand is the 2 lane section that was built for a fraction of the traffic that now uses it. The 5 lane 101 that and the 6 lane I-5 that are connected by the 405 will see massive drainage issues resolved by having better throughout. The only people complaining about this are the rich people who live in those hills hosting the expansion.

Fuck the NIMBYS. Make the lanes.

But if they cut out the congestion, it wont have a name!

I wanted to be a nerd but I can’t even geek. I’m more of a dork.

A nugget ice machine. Nuggets ice is the perfect chewing ice - not too hard it will crack teeth, even consistency unlike crushed ice, firm like tight packed snow. It’s like chewing on frosty heaven.

But it’s absurdly expensive for what little it does. At least a couple hundred dollars for a counter top ice maker that does nothing but make perfect ice.

Authoritarians don’t care about what the hoi polloi think.

We had one cat and didn’t expect a second but it was a conversation that we had started and expected that maybe the first cat was alone and sad when we left for work (in the long ago era of 2013, a pre pandemic life). Given that the shelter was locally well respected we took a look and, yeah, it’s risky but that’s the nature of impulse purchases!

A cat. In line at the pet store for kitty litter and saw a literal pile of kittens near the check out. Turns out that the local shelter was having an adoption day and my partner found a black cat that immediately nuzzled into her shoulder and the little kitten motor purred so loud it sounded like snoring. They bonded in that moment and have been best friends for the last 14 years.
