The back view of a red concept car from Mazda showing one tail light.
Apparently resetting the password on the "my Mazda" app means I get silly emails now. Enjoy this "exclusive" image I wasn't supposed to post here.

This from a corporation that doesn’t have the wherewithal to name their products and instead gives them numbers.

My Mazda is too old (2013) to have app integration so I appreciate your sharing so I can feel like part of the club.

A small red moon above a low bank of clouds and Victorian houses in San Francisco
Total lunar eclipse around 3:22 this morning, SF
we are so so small
I had to drive my wife to the airport very early this morning, and we noted how cool the thumbnail moon looked. We did not know it was a lunar eclipse. Later, tonight, she was on a walk in Florida and noticed the moon was suddenly full(!) After lots of puzzles texts and googling, we figured out the eclipse thing. Such a cool accidental observation :)
here we go again with the fuckin bokoblins.

Screenshot of the upper left hand corner of b3ta's homepage. At the uppermost in tiny text is "we love the web"; below that the typographic "b3ta" logo, main links "Messageboard", "Links", "QOTW", "Challenges", and "FAQ". Below that is the header for the "Best of the Board" homepage section, with a scant fragment of the most recent BotB post.
At this point, somewhat predictably, a hangout for middle-aged guys who are too busy and tired to make intricately clever photoshops any more, and some of the edginess has been sanded off* but they still have weekly image challenges and (vaguely-)weekly newsletters.
The source from which the Spongmonkeys, Weebl & Bob, Mushroom Mushroom and many other memes have sprung, the place Cyriak and film director Ben Wheatley (as "Mr. and Mrs. Wheatley") got their starts, the missing link between the London and Silicon Valley hacker communities (through Cal Henderson). Among other things.

The old Internet is better than the new internet. Long live the forum. Bring back our walled gardens of creativity where microbiomes of creativity and communication exist like tide pools where evolution creates new and better ideas.

A middle aged dork with glasses is sitting on a bus next to their very cool child. She is sporting a red coat and the whims of the city has bestowed some red tinted mood lighting on her face.
You must never forget that anyone who is willing to be a cop is a bastard. Every single one of them. Free Palestine. Bibi can gargle my taint. Trans rights are human rights.

The 11yo wanted to go downtown to explore transit in the city. We took the bus, the subway, and the light rail for no good reason and then came home. Excellent day out.
Hooray for public transit! How lucky to have so many options available to you.
Great pic, great color coordination.
@BennyTheIcepick we just moved here last fall and I’m loving it. Cycling is pretty good everywhere I’ve been, too.

A crazy page from Wikipedia. It reads
Kentucky meat shower
The Kentucky meat shower was an incident that occurred for a period of several minutes between 11 a.m. and 12 noon on March 3, 1876,[1] where what appeared to be chunks of red meat fell from the sky in a 100-by-50-yard (90-by-45-meter) area near Olympia Springs in Bath County, Kentucky.[2] There exist several explanations (from blood rain to vulture ejecta)[3] as to how this occurred and what the "meat" was. Although the exact type of meat was never identified, various reports suggested it was beef, lamb, deer, bear, or horse

A Google Maps image of California with dozens of locations marked, next to an image with a retro font + Pokemon Go font: "Payphone Go".
California still has 2,203 working payphones. Can you find 'em all?
How it works:
1. Create an account and get your unique player ID. It's a 9-digit number.
2. Use the map to locate one of California's payphones. Some are easy to find. Some are not.
3. Pick up the receiver, dial (888) 683-6697. It's toll-free, so no coins required! Then enter your player ID.

The only times I've used a payphone in my life were the first few years I lived in Los Angeles and only had a pager from 2000 - 2002ish.

Which is now Seattle's light rail tunnel. It looks like an 80's sci-fi movie set.

yeah, I remember this scene in Highlander
don't let that lady with a hammer in
I had a bunch of these over the years through the 90's. My favorite was probably the Panasonic that recorded. I recorded a bunch of stuff from the radio that I still occasionally listen to with that, as well as a couple of concerts. I didn't find it on the site, but its probably still at my parents house.
Eventually I ended up with a high-end Sony (WM-EX677?) on closeout right around the time I was the only one who still cared about tapes. It was super tiny, had full-logic controls and Dolby B, but also had some weird slim rechargeable battery that didn't last long. It could use a AA in a sidecar setup, but it looked super clunky.
