A tired dog is a good dog. Lungs and legs were feeling recovered after last week's bout with NB1.8.1 and we ran 4 miles.

Some draws feel like a loss, some feel like a win. This one felt like a win and a loss at the same time. Onward. #rctid

Is there a possibility of delayed kick time due to heat? It's still gonna be 90ºF+ at 7:30.

I grew up in Honolulu, and in the 90s we had Radio Free Hawaii, whose weekly charts were voted on - both up and down votes. So songs would get super popular and then get downvoted into oblivion, which happened with REM a lot. macpro.freeshell.org/rfh/rfh_char...

Weird thing about REM is, for all of their truly great songs, they've also written some of the absolute worst alt-pop ever created. Those two and the Andy Kaufman song grate on my ears in a way that is physically painful

Every time I say "Is this truly the only planet we can live on?" (which is a lot, especially lately), it's because of this comic.

There is actually a very accurate historical document of the post-9/11 vibes.

A clipart comic called Get Your War On.

Get your war on 1 #1

A three panel comic showing a white clipart business man having a phone conversation with a Black clipart businessman sitting at a computer.
Panel 1: White man says "Oh yeah! Operation Enduring Freedom is in the house"
Panel 2: Black man says "Oh yeah! Operation Enduring Our Freedom is in the motherfucking house!
Panel 3: White man says "Yes! Operation: Enduring Our Freedom to Bomb the Living Fuck Out of You is in the house!!!

one reasonably reliable way i've found to fix this (on ipad anyway) is to, after the YOU WON screen, go to Options and pretend like you're going to start a new game with the stake you just won. i had two winning Orange runs disappear on me and i had to walk away for a few weeks 😡
