This old classic popped up on my instagram and I wanted to save it for posterity

We are looking to book a little trip before my wife‘s maternity leave ends and now instagram keeps showing me ads for renting this house

an album cover IMHO

Silence, quiet, etc

I wonder if this is an error in the @baseballprospectus.com annual— huge projected decline in framing runs saved for the Mets’ Luis Torrens? Or maybe I’m misreading?

It looks like this outside my window? Is that bad?

The “Magic The Gathering” card “Winter Orb.” The art depicts two polar bears on a pile of snowy, bloody bones. One is roaring at an icy orb floating in front of them with a disturbingly organ-like texture carved into it.

A “triumvirate” doesn’t just mean any three things

I would have worn my homemade Grateful Dead shirt today but it’s in the laundry bin because I wear it basically once a week

A white t shirt with large red text that says “Harper College, May 2nd 1970”

Do we think this was Martin Scorsese at the Brooklyn Costco last week?

A+ no notes

“He once needed a police escort to get out of Ebbets field in Brooklyn. He’s thrown a bottle at a heckler and hit a kid. His teammates called him the Crab.”

absolutely wild photo

Baseball player in a red helmet contorted oddly, probably after swinging the bat, with his arms across his body and his shoulders twisting in the opposite direction

What if I had a very small wardrobe but it was all this

You just gotta believe me that this harvest moon or whatever looks crazy when it’s not on an iPhone camera

This is for the YouTube API for looking at ad revenue and user engagement. Why would I want to put that information into a mobile app, web app, or onto a TV? Which one of these is “I’m downloading the data to put it in a database for analysis, which you explicitly say is the purpose of this API.”

2 years in I finally looked this up. I thought it was about timing, like if you swing a split second earlier it’s as if you pulled the ball towards the bat (instead of waiting for it to come to you)

Can’t decide which one is funnier

Getting ready to run Bloodmarm Barrow by @bradkerr.net for the Brooklyn OSR crew today

A small model of a highland cow (a brown, shaggy cow from Scotland) stands atop a pile of copies of the rulebook for Cairn. Some scattered pencils and character sheets rest next to it. Behind the cow is a dungeon master’s screen, covered in an illustration of spooky things happening in a forest

NYC communist groups love recruiting with the pitch “first of all, I assume you’re already a communist, right?”

Unfortunately it was too windy for this sky writer to pull off the Fantastic 4 logo for long before it blew away

Some shots around the neighborhood

A woman walking past a laundromat with an old-fashioned sign

A line of row houses on a narrow street without any trees

It only took like 3 years of having this on my eBay alerts to find a copy

When you put it like this it’s a bit embarrassing

Search text from the reservations app OpenTable that says “you searched for Pizza in New York City”

Obsessed with this 1300 year old Japanese burial offering statue being auctioned as a “semi-abstract statue” bundled with some postcards as part of the David Lynch estate. It feels like they literally didn’t google translate the tag on the back? The estimated value is “$200-300”

I was gonna send my dad a text about who he shares a birthday with but the only people on the list I’d heard of are Mark David Chapman, Rick Santorum, Sid Vicious, and Bono. Cursed!
