Reminds me of the (in)famous gas station sushi here, on a state highway in what used to be a rural area but exurban development has swarmed past it within the past decade.
Gas stations with southern cooking and soul food hot bars are very much a thing hereabouts, it's one of the main ways to get fried chicken or pork chops once you're outside the cities, but the gas station sushi shop is still unique as far as I can tell. I haven't tried it yet but want to, it's not in a convenient place for us to get to. They sell teeshirts and other swag because of course they're leveraging the fact that people want to show off to their friends about the time they had gas station sushi.

samosa larger than a small tractor

An old small grey tractor sits in a snowbank. In front, a large and out of focus samosa is being held out to it
I'd heard about the tiny gas station in rural Ontario that made fantastic samosas, but only got there yesterday. They are truly amazing. One type (veggie: potato) but everything about the flavour and texture is perfect. The tamarind sauce is a nice dip, too.
Regional Variety & Gas Bar: 1670 St Paul St West, St Catharines
It's surrounded by vineyards. It's about half an hour west of Niagara Falls. We have amazing samosas in Toronto, but these are next-level.

I've heard tell of a truckstop in Minnesota frequented by South Asian truck drivers that has amazing food, but I haven't verified the stories yet...
@ardgedee gas station sushi sounds like russian roulette
@ba I remember hearing of a similar place near Phoenix, AZ. Phoenix has had a Sikh community for over a century.

It'll come back. There's still the inevitable white house receptions where athletes will be served overcooked steak and give their medals to that guy during the photo sessions.
@ardgedee within minutes of posting this I saw a tasteless post from the official Whitehouse account but it was nice while it lasted

Costco sued to get its money back from these tariffs and the SUPREME COURT JUST AGREED. Your Costco run is out here doing more for the Constitution than Congress. 6-3. Unconstitutional.
Don't tread on me.

Lightning Bolt - The Power of Salad & Milkshakes (2001)
alt text
Last night I watched the documentary "Secret Mall Apartment" about the group of artists in Providence, RI that set up a hidden crash pad in an architectural dead space at a giant shopping mall (Netflix; trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch...)
In it they talk a bit about Fort Thunder, the performance space in an old warehouse/factory in Providence that Lightning Bolt drummer Brian Chippendale, who is featured in the doc, started with some friends that was eventually razed by developers.
That led me to looking up old footage from those days and eventually this tour video from 2001.
So, if you watch the Secret Apartment doc and find yourself wanting to dig deeper into the Providence scene around that time, this makes a fitting companion piece. Or if you're just a fan of Lightning Bolt and want to see some old footage, here you go.

Cold cast bronze pendants with heavy patina
Some of the cursed objects I am making for Adventureland Day. I have 32 that are probably going to be done tomorrow - which is well under my goal, but it’s been a crazy year so whatever I complete will be what it is. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You’ve got great consistency!

Bedford Borough Council tyers of this sort of nonsense
I love matter-of-fact pwns from municipalities. I'm just imagining the person who manages the Facespace or Twatter account or whatever this is from smirking as they find themselves typing out that the Bedford Borough Council.... was not responsible for the creation of the moon.
Ha ha ha, maybe "moon," the verb.

Waymo was recently forced to reveal they have remote drivers in the Philippines to cover up the failures of their "autonomous" driving cars.
I imagine they will hire programmers in some other third world country to cover up the mistakes this "autonomous" stuff does too. People are going to die for the egos of the shit people that run technology companies.
