In my original draft I called Sister Act 2 “Nunderrated” but it didn’t make the guardian sadly

A radio that combines the design language of old American muscle cars and the spacerace. The top is forest green with tailfins, the bottom is ivory white, and the front is shining silver, on a silver stand. Up top we find a single antenna, a red power/volume dial, and you turn the 'intake" of the rocket to change the stations (the tuning display is immediately behind the engine, incoporated into the body).

I saw Carmen throw Don José's sword at him. It missed and fell into the pit onto the timpani. Also one of the gypsies fell off and landed behind the set. (The production was in English, so they were singing, "one step may be your doom.")

Photo of a peregrine falcon about to teach a brown pelican an important life lesson: keep your distance from the cliffs at Torrey Pines in the spring! The peregrine's talons are out and her eyes are locked onto the pelican's beak. The pelican has its wings extended and is banking away, but that's like a minivan trying to outmaneuver a Lotus: ain't gonna happen.

Photo of a peregrine falcon grabbing a brown pelican by the beak with her talons. The pelican is not a fan of this game of "Got yer nose!" and is banking away. Fortunately the falcon is far enough out that most of the impact force will glance off and the pelican can keep flying.

More peregrine on pelican action from yesterday. Don't come into her house: she'll drag you out by the nose.

Flat card laying on top of letterpress forms used to print it that has the Diane de Prima quote ‘no one way works, it will take all of us shoving at the thing from all sides to bring it down’.

Printed for @pilsencommbooks.bsky.social years ago. No one way works.

This is the lexicographer or chemist .... this made a grammar of the old cartouches,

Bad immigration economics assumes every extra person is one less seat. Good economics notices they also bring a seat, a side dish, and demand for the bloke selling drinks.

The first story is fear; the second is how economies work.

A surge in cyclists has left some pedestrians feeling intimidated. "It's dangerous for pedestrians," says Bernadette, a 66-year-old university teacher. "Cyclists are always cutting in front of cars, running red lights and generally doing whatever they want.

Wild what you can get away with in articles about cycling. This is objectively false! A city with less driving and more biking is far safer for pedestrians. Hate cyclists all you want but that’s an empirical fact
