🌉🌉🍃🍃COVERED BRIDGE: VERMONT MASTER THREAD🌉🌉🍃🍃

Already off to a GREAT start: when driving from eastern MA to Bennington, we passed right by a bridge in Brattleboro that is closed to traffic so wasn’t on my list. The Creamery bridge!!

Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world,... I feel like I can't take it. And my heart is just going to cave in.

i mean if he's just basing this on the after-market trading on friday that's... dumb, dude, at least wait to see if shit actually absolutely craters monday, damn. we've seen this cycle over and over again during trump's presidencies where futures collapse but then when trading opens it's fine

Just a reminder that Banned Books Week isn’t about selling more copies of 1984. It’s about keeping authors and teachers and librarians safe and making sure all of us have the freedom to read widely. www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

Blessed are the frogs, for they keep making authoritarians look incredibly stupid

Exactly how I sold it to @stitchy.bsky.social yesterday, lol

Bsky DMs, stitchy sent me the link to cool zone promo of the BtB episode and they said “fuck yeah”. I replied:

Lol yeah I listened on my way to [redacted] today. It's good because it allows Robert to just go off about
CS Lewis and Tolkein and Kipling for a while and it was really fun and kind of soothing lol

They replied “awww”

The contrast is jarring. The Kowloon stands out on Route 1, a gleeful mash-up of stick-on motifs — a ’50s-style font meant to mimic Chinese Hanzi characters pinned to a Polynesian-style totem, built into the front of an asphalt-shingled version of a Forbidden City-esque roofline. It will be replaced by what could generously be described as cut-and-paste utilitarianism, an architecture of nowhere and everywhere, with all the aesthetic charm of a 1990s Wal-Mart.

Today I learned about "Mt Kali" AKA "Mt Kalimanjaro."

It's a monstrous heap of industrial salt that's piled up out back of the adorable village of Heringen, in Hesse Germany.
