I think the United States Gypsum Corporation needs to consider a logo RETVRN…
I am not one to seek out animated gifs lightly, but I couldn’t resist this one:
Without saying your age, what’s your favorite movie that came out when you were 18?
Here in Pittsburgh they own their own, and kind of overpaid for it. It’s a beautiful old neighborhood Catholic church that was desacralized in 1994, sold to an antiques dealer, then RE speculators. It’s in a flood plain so you can’t really even build there. They’re the only ones that would want it.
Everyone talks about flat-earthers and moon landing deniers, but sometimes I wonder why there isn’t a group of Australia-skeptics. It just all reads as very made-up to an outsider.
Top World Cup headlines now are: -USMNT player scores goal then stuffs ball in his shirt and pretends to suck his thumb to tell world wife is pregnant. -Landon Donovan gets a toup and realizes that talking about how balding makes him sad might help others. AND -Aussie keeper named “Pat Beach” Fun!
@discontinuedfoods.bsky.social Does the apparent death of the tiny pepperoni cubes on Stouffer’s French bread pizza qualify as a discontinued food? In any case, it feels like a part of my childhood has died.
Forgetting about the removals, that list looked really thin. Digging a bit more, they’ve also smoothed all of the edges off of the classifications, which used to be very specific. Now it’s: Reform or Orthodox? Nope, just “Jewish.” Byzantine or other Orthodox churches who follow Rome? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Certainly no Seattle expert, but what I've read suggests that they legislated any sort of permitted sizable multi-family development out of existence anywhere but along arterials and in specific "Urban Villages," i.e. where local and regional retail ought to be. Maybe allow apt bldgs in res areas?
So did Garibaldi live in pre-Civl War New York City before or after prosecuting Italian independence? My timeline suggests before…
You know you’re getting old when they start to retire the last vestiges of your childhood museum memories…
Moses Fleetwood Walker, first and last (openly) Black pro baseball player before Robinson, Oberlin & Michigan student, Black nationalist, editor, author, postal worker, acquitted of murder in self-defense, convicted of mail robbery, successful rural Ohio theater owner. ~3-4 movies worth of living.
Currently just a baby sinkhole. Being guarded by a People’s Gas truck.
Indeed they did. I’d forgotten they won the World Series that same year.
Happened to several in greater Pittsburgh that I can recall. The one in central Oakland in particular.
I'm not sure if its nationwide in Germany, but they should increase the cultural exchange by introducing him to "schneckenwurst," or "snail sausage" which they’ve engineered to grill through perfectly and fit on a hamburger bun:
Don’t use Instagram anymore, so I had nowhere to put this picture I took of some geese.
I don’t have any special opinion of Whitey, but I seemed to get one of these cards in every pack I opened in 1988, to the extent that I started to think up creative ways to destroy them.
