A few weeks ago we all were in town at the same time and met up to celebrate knowing each other for 27 years by going to Medieval Times and it was an absolute riot. Lost our voice for days after and couldn’t be happier to know all these amazing folks.
From NASA’s Insta: here was the view of Los Angeles as the International Space Station orbited over the night of July 4th. Fireworks from orbit! Too cool to just let them keep it on Insta. Credit: NASA
Also yesterday: our Jeep has made it halfway to the Moon! [Did so at Morro Rock]
PCH between LA and SF yesterday was a very long drive, but @kangamutt.bsky.social and us saw things that were beyond belief.
“Oh nice cosplay! Are you Duo from Gundam Wing?” Us: *chewing gum aggressively* “That’s not my name…”
At some point we are going to do a crossover cosplay of Duo Maxwell from “Mobile Suit Gundam Wing” and Norm Macdonald’s impression of Burt Reynolds from the SNL “Celebrity Jeopardy” sketch. It’s literally the same costume. Will we be piloting a Gundam named “Turd Ferguson”?
The LA Warehouse Fire that’s now in its fifth day of existing is pretty gnarly. We’re having to stay inside now, going outside means a throat that starts burning. Local officials have only /just now/ declared a health advisory. Unbelievable it’s taken this long.
Went to Medieval Times last night for the first time ever for a very good friend’s birthday, and as a general hangout for our friend group that’s still together after forming on the second day of 6th Grade almost 27 years ago. It was a lot of fun, would love to go back again someday!
Posting to attract all our trans friends. Also because you all deserve all of the pickles, all of the time. Although save us a few, please.
We have taken Odyssey to places almost all Jeep Wrangler owners would never dare.
Unfortunately we’re going to have to get it returned and replaced as it was damaged during shipping. But good things come to those who wait.
Last week Blue Origin’s fourth New Glenn rocket exploded, while fully fueled, during a static fire attempt. How much power is in the explosion of a fully fueled rocket of that size? It was detected on USGS seismographs as a magnitude 2.5 earthquake. Absolutely incredible.
Icon update to our Pride one done by @neoscottie.bsky.social a while ago! Go get art from them! 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
Last night @kangamutt.bsky.social and Us were at the Los Angeles “INFERNO SESSION”, where Boards of Canada debuted their newest album, “Inferno”, in full, at an exclusive event. The album is nothing short of a masterpiece, their best one yet. We can’t wait for it to be out officially next week.
