$15 urban ore find, 1955 silvertone radio that works perfectly! Sadly it only picks up AM radio so I’m limited to the occasional sports game, Christian conservative talk, and a handful of ethnic stations

Aquired some really cool today- a Bell System Charge-A-Call Payphone! It’s like a normal payphone, but instead of coins it only uses collect and credit card. These only were built for a few years prior to the 1984 breakup of Bell

I would love to talk to the person (people?) living on this island in the delta - so isolated yet so close to civilization. they must have very fascinating stories.

When Donald Trump said "it's all computer," he was actually talking about the challenges railroad museums face in preserving modern equipment for future generations.

After the @wtyppod.bsky.social episode on the Marlboro Unlimited I was inspired to buy myself some of the vintage Marlboro sweepstakes merch- it doesn’t even smell like cigarettes!

I own a payphone now! It’s missing most of the internals but I’m working on aquiring the parts I need to make it a fully functioning payphone I can use as a landline

It’s been 35 days and my heart is still broken. I will never understand how so many could be so easily duped. I miss the joy. I miss the laughter. I miss the music. I miss the hope. I miss Tim Walz’ dad-isms.

Lil local history trivia I rediscovered the other day. Vietnam war protesters in Berkeley use to swarm ATSF troop trains in an attempt to stop them (with limited success, stopping a train is hard)

Unused BART wall paper design from 60s preliminary vehicle specifications book, would be cool if @bart.gov used this as in a heritage unit of some sort 🤔
