Tech CEO: Before the 18th century you didn’t have bugs. I mean you did but they barely existed. People only concerned themselves with powerful, high-prestige animals. Lions, tigers, bears, unicorns, boars. Weird little gross things like crabs and slugs were invented to make people doubt themselves

BLOOPER: In Family Ties, when Arnold Palmer says to Willis, "What are you talking about Willis", Willis never explains what he is talking about. The question hangs, unanswered, in the air. The cast grows silent. Night falls. We are cold.
if i lived in popeye town and one day i saw a ropy little sailor punch a huge guy so hard his skeleton flew out of his mouth thats the only thing i would talk about for the rest of my life
This isn't as cool as the Octopus Tree, but here's me in 2015 admiring a 350- to 400-year-old live oak in Orlando, FL

"Thank you for your question. As the new head of Apple, I wish to deny reports that everyone will automatically have _Loveless_ appear in their iPhone music app. In fact, it will be the entire Creation-and-onward discography." "But what about _This Is Your Bloody Valen--" "SECURITY."
Redwing blackbirds are always talkin some shit
Did you go to the Eric Sloane Museum?!
interesting recession indicator I just spotted: the year is 2026, and the recession began in 2007 and at no point did it meaningfully abate for the vast, vast majority of people
Yo dawg I herd you like staring into the horizon

Eric Sloane's 'a museum of early American tools'

An organized workbench with a variety of hand tools carefully hung on a peg board and a well-labeled wall-mounted part bin organizer. This bench hasn’t been clear for years.
A well-labeled wall-mounted part bin organizer. On top of it are surprisingly complete drill bit indexes, a box for used blades, and screws that wouldn’t fit the bin organizer. I know a lot of ways of aligning dowels for joinery, but I’d never seen sets of dowel centering pins before. They live in the drawer that has center punches in it.
A well-organized peg board of hand tools with my grandparents’ wedding photo hung at the top left. My parents were both flabbergasted by the sudden order imposed on this wall. My dad started darting around excitedly throwing out things I’d left out for him to decide about keeping or throwing away then suddenly got worried that he didn’t know where a certain wrench was. I wordlessly pointed to it on the wall, with the other wrenches and began maniacally cackling.
A messy, disorganized workbench. This was the end of my first day working and my parents were overwhelmed by how much I had accomplished, thinking I was done. “I have not yet begun to fight” I replied.
Organizing my dad’s tools (most inherited from his dad) has been akin to cleaning out my mind palace, room by room. (Alt text recommended)
