The where: Alabaster, Alabama

The loot: a patty melt from the Waffle House I learned to smoke cigarettes at

It happened to me

I believe the en-drabbening of store exteriors has been driven by the rise of navigation apps, so that noticeability and brand legibility from a moving car is no longer enough of a driver of traffic to bother with eye catching architecture and color

Dawg, Google Maps is routing us through Roadside Picnic

Man I WISH I had to struggle to live up to monogamy! Folks…

“Pitching in-ism”

“Apolitical” always means “right wing but I know people don’t like that” lol.

Good chance they get the Army and Navy too (Air Force and Marines too fundamentally chud-compromised, Coast Guard sides against Navy in fit of pique)

An individual of the tiny freshwater crustacean genus Triops. It has a large, spade shaped shell with two large and one small eye at the front end with muscular tail extending from the back

Excerpt from the Wikipedia article on the genus Triops: “Due to their broad dietary range, they can be fed various items, including lunch meat, crackers and potatoes.”

These small freshwater crustaceans just like me for real

😔

Just passed a construction site near Bay Minette, AL whose company banner read “proud to be 100% employee owned.”

The wretched hand of Titoism has reached fair Alabama’s shores!!

This post brought to you by listening to "The Boy With a Thorn In His Side" on headphones for the first time in a while and holy moly

No you're right, he's right to mix Johnny that low

It is an important step in every Smiths enjoyer's path to wish Morrisey would shut up for second so you can listen to whatever the fuck that is Johnny Marr is doing at the back of the mix during the verses

Huge pedagogical dub, Hannah. This rocks

"like an Easter bunny or an oven-hot biscuit" 😒

Nothing basic at all about the long necks after you've read a few physiological papers on them. Completely insane organisms.

Now I'm remembering the time I pointed out to a Leftbook group that the Belchers are not working class but petit bourgeoisie and everyone got mad at me

It fuckin rocks. They've larded it up with a ton of expansions and whatnot over the years but the core survival and exploration gameplay is so therapeutic to me

I'm glad to see Brontosaurus in the mix representing the sauropods because they would be my pick for "favorite" simply because they best represent the alienness of Mesozoic fauna. "50 ton land whale" is a whole ass genre of animal that does not and likely CANnot exist anymore!

Ultimately, T. rex is like The Beatles of dinosaurs: the one people have heard of and know they're supposed to appreciate so its the go-to answer, but is at the same time That Bitch so you have to hand it to them.

oh, "student driver" eh? driving 10mph under eh? well get ready to LEARN

It's very funny how The Harry Potter Experience largely amounts to rail transit and walkable shopping districts, two things that Americans will self-immolate to prevent from ever happening

I love their lame stab at claiming there could ever be a non-racist version of "American First" lol

Pitching my wife on this: Look, honey, there's only one seat so there's no way I could take you and our daughter with me to a fiery death like what happens all the time with doctors and lawyers who buy a plane!

Would I crash it and die almost instantly? Yes. But get this: it's wings fold up against the fuselage allowing it to be stored in an ordinary car garage thus avoiding costly hangar fees.

a powerful reminder of the grotesqueness of man's sinful nature, thank u sonic
