Sigh-o-nara.

pagliacci: but doctor, i killed orville and hid him in my sewer.

You’re completing a captcha and you see a picture of a tortoise on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can’t. Not without your help. But you’re not clicking on it. Why is that, Leon?

@corbie Let me tell you about my tortoise.

Arrestingly beautiful, and 1954.

French engineer Louis Réard, inspired by women adjusting their swimsuits for tanning, designed the bikini, naming it after the Bikini Atoll nuclear test site.

@0y3ahSansAcut3 The nuclear option

She probably wears plain hose.

This is truly outrageous.

@nikkuneko feature branch or go home

I saw a writer in The Guardian, or The AP, write about The Parthenon Marbles. It's gonna look great when they come back.

Parthenon and on and on ...

@drurystephanie this is not a comment on your efforts to offer the t-shirts for sale. just me trying to be funny.

Guerrilla art is the best art.

What? LinkedIn innovating on something? WHOA!

(YouTube DESPERATELY needs this feature, btw...)

This whooshed over my head last year, but you can still opt out of your profile being used to train LinkedIn's own slop:

@Lockjaw Ha, nice.

Wuv. Twu wuv.

@MackReed the twuest.

Happiest of birthdays!

Or… anniversaries?

@BennyTheIcepick thanks! this summer marks 41 years of our relationship. We were 15.

Aww!

that is impressive, wow!

Somewhat related, I don't travel as much as I used to (for work) but the different in-train announcement sounds (happy chime & the Cash-like guitar riff) for the stations at the Denver airport along with the "Hooooooold on please!" *still* appear regularly & happily in my dreams.

@williwaw Hah - I traveled SEA<->DEN frequently when I was visiting Space Force in Colorado Springs back in my startup times. I got sooo sick of that little guitar riff, but I grew to love the DEN suitcase gargoyle.

Vibraphone wins

Marimba!

Thai nipple gongs?!

@gormat Yeah, that threw me, too. They look more like Indonesian gamelan gongs.

Which I only really know of from parodic reference in Billy Bragg's _Accident Waiting to Happen_.

You can see the Buick and BEV at work in this Pathé clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch...

They were such a weird band, and usually overlooked when 21st century music pundits argue over boomer music.

They were prolific with hits but I think most of their catalog slides away from view because of the heavy influence of old-timey British music hall, and Ray's and/or Dave's intense and highly specific nostalgia for the particular time and place of their childhoods.

I loved dancing to their bangers.

My friend would tell you it was originally from Pakistan

P4 seems really cool!

60% of the time, it works every time

Strange women lying in cities distributing bicycles is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical velodromic ceremony.

But what’d you see?

The feral stapler population that spawns on utility poles led to a collapse in local wild stationery populations.

@bezt nice

No, listen, and forgive the story. A woman who had a farm, and raised pigs, worked in one of the dietary offices, where I worked. She was thrifty, harvesting food waste to feed her pigs from there, (a whole other set of scary realities.) OK, so the stapler in the sixth floor office broke, the Acme, stapler. It broke on the weekend when I was working, I left her a note. On Monday I had reason to be in the office, when she pulled the original box for the stapler out of a drawer, she had put it there 25 years before, in case she ever needed the lifetime guarantee. She took the box down to the secretaries, and they mailed, or called it in. Acme replaced it "for free." Twenty five years ago it may have been a buck and a quarter, 1996 I don't know the cost, the involvement of 4 staffers in the replacement, on our end. The capital and labor just boggle the mind, and the time.

_Summerbaby_ is a work of heartbreaking genius smuggled into a 90s kids' sitcom.

@bezt it's a gem! they snuck so many good things into that show (i think it's also where i learned about the music of stephin merrit?)

I need season 3 on DVD and need to accept it'll never happen

@drurystephanie man, it's such a shame that they're (allegedly) just sitting in some warehouse untouched! the show really deserves a full box set and HD cleanup!

(that said, if you're hankering, i think all of the s3 episodes are in that archive link above! not sure of the quality, but i'm downloading right now to see...)

The grandson in question is worth the follow on insta.
