When you’re moving, you find some amazing stuff. Stuff you forgot you ever had. Like this cookbook that is the greatest cookbook I have ever owned.

A vintage cookbook cover titled “Favourite British Sausage Recipes: Tasty Meals with the great British Banger.” The cover features an old-fashioned farmyard illustration with pigs, chickens, and two harnessed horses standing near a barn. Why does it have horses? Why? We need to know.

Infinity Porch.

A long, covered front porch of a historic red-brick house with a dark stained beadboard ceiling, white painted floor, and classic white columns with green trim. Green shutters frame tall windows along the brick wall, while a white balustrade lines the porch edge. A large black planter overflowing with pink flowers sits near the steps, and across the street another ornate Victorian porch with decorative woodwork is visible through the columns. Bright summer sunlight filters through surrounding trees, casting soft shadows across the porch floor.

Yesterday was absolutely crazy in Central Ohio. i"ve lever here on and off since 1977 and I've never seen anything like it.

Welcome to hour three of me trying to explain to my dog that we can't go to the dog park 'cus Canada is on fire.

A black, white, and tan dog peeks around the edge of a sofa with an exaggerated side-eye expression. The dog rests one front paw on a red Persian-style rug, with white chest and paws visible, long floppy ears, and a speckled white muzzle. Warm indoor lighting emphasizes the dog's glossy coat and curious, slightly skeptical gaze.

Hi. 👋 GenX (don’t hate) internet nerd here. We did this. We hung out in SOMA and used Novell and Sun Microsystems shares to buy shit. We’ve still got mortgages. Sincerely, the olds.

At the reflecting pool, and guys, this doesn't look right.

And Drew@andrewtappan· Jun 19

The reflecting pool holds ~6.5 million gallons of water. That's probably a ~150gpm pump. It'll take something like 28 days to drain it with that.

This is the only "THINGS WERE BETTER WAY BACK WHEN..." I can get behind.

This time with AltText

Screenshot of two Politico Breaking News Alert emails displayed in Gmail. The first headline reads “Donald Trump flips Nevada” and is dated November 9, 2024, stating that Trump defeated Kamala Harris in Nevada, marking the first Republican presidential win in the state since 2004. The second headline reads “Trump completes swing-state sweep with Arizona victory,” also dated November 9, 2024, reporting that Trump won Arizona and completed a sweep of all seven swing states in the 2024 election. Both emails feature Politico’s red “Breaking News Alert” banner and article excerpts below the headlines.

This is an actual real headline in 2026.

USA Today headline reading: “Jelly Roll, Bunnie XO split. See their relationship timeline.” The image appears to be a cropped news card showing only the publication name, headline, and partial timestamp.

Joan Cusack in Toys - Barry Levinson (1992)

A woman with a sculpted pastel-pink bob hairstyle and matching pink costume looks directly toward the camera with a calm, slightly skeptical expression. The scene has a soft, stylized, retro-futuristic aesthetic, with pale colors and blurred figures in the foreground framing her face.

That's really more of a TV show thing than reality. I mean, Sen Burr of NC. drove this thing around the hill for years. A lot of members have "DC Cars" - meaning beaters they've personally purchased to use as their personal car while they're in DC (often only mon pm - friday am)
