Me, inside a modern Stern pinball: "Man, Stern suck. I wish Williams had stuck around."
Me, inside any other new manufacturer: "Oh my god Stern are amazing"

This is SO very good.

Friend gave me an old row boat. Pulled it off the burn pile when his landlord was cleaning out the barn.

Just fit.

Added glass shelves, l’objets d’art, and a light hidden in a bronze handle.

Oila.

I found this taped to the door of the geography department at GWU today and it brought me so much joy. A guide to figuring out when a map was made based on features. Zoom in. It’s amazing.

The pressure for introverts to act as extraverts is real.

We aren't broken.

We don't need conversation.
We don't need to get out and do.
We don't need to go to a party or concert.
We don't need to make more friends.

We need to retreat inward to recover so we can do a very select, chosen few of those things.

I promise we are okay if you let us do that.

How did Russian cosmonauts know where they were? The Globus INK (1967) showed the position of their Soyuz spacecraft on a rotating globe. It is an analog computer built from tiny gears. I reverse-engineered the wiring (which inconveniently had been cut) and we powered it up. 🧵

I spend a lot of time talking about how dismayed I am at how many of my fellow #veterans have fallen for the #propaganda of the enemies of the #Constitution we swore to defend. No doubt I'll continue to whine. This guy is doing something about it.

We need more of this. Lots, lots more.

Our #oath has no expiration date.

Cultivate.
Your.
Friendships.

really work at them, because they can save your life, quite literally

I'm getting smarter.

I ordered a box of large dog chew toys to keep Benson Dubois from gnawing on my furniture and his bed.

They arrived this morning and LO! He is gnawing on them.

Also, I need a better stronger vacuum. Any recommendations, #DogsOfMastodon ?

Most of what you know about the Black Panthers, is a lie. It is intentional disinformation, created and circulated by the FBI, with the assistance and complicity of newspapers and local police. This disinfo was spread as part of the FBI's counter intelligence program (COINTELPRO).

This is not some unfounded conspiracy, this is documented and now admitted by the FBI.

The Black Panthers were the good guys, and the FBI were the cartoonishly evil Bond villain bad guys. Seriously.
