also, my brother is about to lose his mind 😂

Will I still keep an eye out for @ricksteves.bsky.social in Italy next month? Absolutely.

But having a post liked by one of my childhood travel heroes (behind my grandparents, whose wall's map was covered in pins and inspired me to visit 57 countries and counting)?
Shades of what twitter once was.

i don't have a deep enough knowledge to identify them on sight, but more than once i've paused a movie to look up what a background car is

i'm sure there are lots of reasons it wouldn't work, but i feel like car manufacturers could make a killing resurrecting their old body styles as electrics

P1800 in Jaws

P1800 in Once Upon a Time In Hollywood

this is like art but make it sports for cars in the background of movies 😂

though admittedly any time i see a Volvo P1800 or 1800ES in a film i send a pic to my dad since he had a '73 ES and my first car was a '72 ES

(Jaws and Once Upon a Time In Hollywood pictured here)

"This rough “draft” was also much less boozy than its modern-day counterpart, clocking in at 3.5 to 6.5 percent alcohol."

Um, that's the same amount of boozy as modern-day?

lol same. my brother and I used to watch @ricksteves.bsky.social as kids. we literally did act outs of his Hyde Park segment when we visited years later

A man walks into a bar and says to the bartender "hey, you've got a speck in your eye" and the bartender goes,
"why the log face?"

"Some friends came over, we were grilling, it was mountainin' out, just a great weekend all around"

yeah but it runs like a dork

new idea:
jerseys with secret tearaway panels/sleeves with weak stitching

note to future me: you had beets tonight

the way they read the defense, then adjusted the direction of pressure on the back post man to account for the other bodies in the box? clearly the result of some excellent coaching. really fun stuff!

Melville gets "just one more" tattoo ...

Italian?

i believe it - the woodworking craftsmanship is downright stunning at times. nicely done!

the amount of creatively repurposed solid wood one sees there is pretty outstanding

someone was asking about places to get glasses since they were so expensive, and while i don't have an answer, i did just run across a bit of a reason

my takeaway from the match will be the smiling approval i got from Tigres fans when I heckled effectively in Spanish as their players rolled about on the pitch upon feeling a stiff breeze ...

Melville catches a DJT presser:

@kagi.com any chance you'll offer an option with unlimited searches and zero AI? I don't want any AI assistant in my plan please.

i'm not saying google is lying about their in-app speed test results for their own router, but it sure seems sketchy that everyone else clocks them much slower

yeah, and then gives it all away to charity.

literally - i might even look into registering us as a non-profit because we really do donate all of it

(or like last month, donate more than our profits because i got carried away 😂 but so what, i still had a day job at the time to cover it haha!)

gawd this is fucking dumb!
i might as well say i'm pivoting the bar to an AI company. 50 million dollars please!
