Ouch

It me.

so fucking disgusted with democrats right now

Honestly, stuff like this should automatically trigger a general strike. It's not acceptable in a democracy.

Probably the worst thing Biden has done in his presidency (so far). It's absolutely ridiculous to deny people basic sick leave. I'm all for a general rail strike.

the whole reaction from congress and uncle joe is just despicable. "oh no the economy" is the most tiresome refrain, especially when it's laying down tired workers on the tracks.

the number of senators who voted down the measure for just seven days of paid sick leave is especially sickening.

the lad could probably use a cheese plate and a mashed potato party

@mcmjolnir "Oh, I thought you said *dirk*."

we'll put the horns in the conversation pit

The only 70s tableau that could not possibly be improved by the addition of cheese ball.

that’s some weird pasta

If someone doesn’t start a Scottish prog-rock band called “Fargile”, then what are we even doing here?

You buried the lede about your bike being fine 😀

Glad you're as good as could be expected.

Ugh. So glad it wasn't much worse. Keep an eye on every car you're about to pass.

Be glad it was an accident, and not on purpose; I was biking down South Street in Philly (a million years ago) and a mouthbreathing ape of an alpha male who was standing between his car and its open door looked me straight in the eye and flung the door open into my path.

Biff pow crash, instant pulled shoulder and a healthy serving of handburgers. When I cursed him out, he fucking snickered, "What? Whaddya gonna doaboutit?" Being a wee college punk, I remounted and rolled on, continuing to curse.

Glad it was a slow crash, hopefully a fast recovery.

DUDE glad you are okay!

(The following only applies if you haven't been to the doctor. If you haven't been but do go, make sure you ask about this!) You may or may not be aware that the RICE protocol has become outdated? So if you're not, go easy on the ice, which is the main factor in that outdated-ness. (The doctor who invented it has even admitted it's wrong.) It may reduce inflammation (and with that pain) but it turns out that inflammation is an integral part of the healing process. All of my orthos and PTs have suggested some different alternatives like MOVE/MEAT or PEACE & LOVE - so the evidence based replacement is either still not settled yet (possible) or there's not really a one size fits all soft tissue injuries solution (more probable). (Strictly anecdote but I haven't used RICE in years and have seen a substantial improvement in recovery - particularly with broken and sprained wrists!) Anyway, just sliding this on the table for you to consider in case you're not aware of this development in medicine and haven't been to the doctor yet!

Heal up. Sucks you got doored. Here's to 15 more years of it not happening again hopefully.

oh man, i’m sorry to hear this. hope you heal and recover quickly

@williwaw that is fascinating! TIL!

heart heart heart

This is a lovely portrait, but ... but her sweet comment...! I think it's a little dusty in here....

Perfect comment. :)

Awwww.

Because it's too cold?

what are you, the British Museum or something?

@cristin 🏅

@cristin More like who do you think you are, Napoleon's army or something?

Neat!

They told me I could be anything, so I stayed being a cat.

I 100% didn’t notice the name edit and just thought it was saying that if you like (know of?) Battlestar Galactica you’re old 😂

Gandalf appears to have dropped his mystical black banana.

Once all this AI Stuff has been perfected to the level that the glitches are smoothed out we are going to miss those soooo much. Because then they'll just be ordinary photographs or cgi.

@waa Agree. The quirks and weirdness are what make these so much fun.

the hat worn by the one on the left makes him look more like Dumbledore to me.

Saruman has three legs.

That is so beautiful, and it reminds me of this beloved Colson Whitehead essay https://clearthis.page/...

^ "We can never make proper goodbyes. It was your last ride in a Checker cab, and you had no warning. It was the last time you were going to have Lake Tung Ting shrimp in that entirely suspect Chinese restaurant, and you had no idea. If you had known, perhaps you would have stepped behind the counter and shaken everyone's hand, pulled out the disposable camera and issued posing instructions. But you had no idea. There are unheralded tipping points, a certain number of times that we will unlock the front door of an apartment. At some point you were closer to the last time than you were to the first time, and you didn't even know it. You didn't know that each time you passed the threshold you were saying goodbye."

Oh, I'm feeling this so hard right now.

We leave NYC for good in 8 days.

Beautiful.
I'd be perpetually on guard, scared it might start to light up.

I stumbled on this site years ago during a Google image search for god-knows-what. That logo was so bright and quirky I knew I needed to find out what this place was all about.
