I recall reading several years ago somebody's story of meeting online & telling the family. Mom/dad objected, but grandma says "my mom and dad met online, it's fine". Turns out they were telegraph operators who'd met long distance working the same wire, transferred to be together, got married, etc.

The Christmas period display at Bradley Jewellers has red flowers, ribbons & silver baubles.

Number 67 Low Petergate of 3 storeys, is probably of late 14th-century date. It represents a surviving middle bay of a house of three or more bays roofed parallel to the street.

We Are Responsible For Our Rose:
a story about #gardening in Brooklyn
(free for everyone to read)
www.patreon.com/posts/144843...
We Are Responsible for Our Rose - 6m read - image of a tire planter in Brooklyn - from Milo Wissig's Patreon 10:08 ON Milo Wissig In the summer of 2022, somebody dumped a tire in a tree lawn on my block. This was a patch of bare, compacted dirt I walked by on a daily basis because I was living in a 450-square-foot or so basement apartment. I was only able to access my apartment from a back alley that cut through the block, but mail and deliveries came to the front, so I would have to go outside and walk around the quarter-block to receive them. And because of this, I was particularly invested in keeping that quarter-block, essentially an extension of my home, from becoming disgusting. It's difficult to dispose of a tire in Brooklyn. Regular garbage and recycling pickup won't take it, and neither will plant waste pickup: I asked when they were cutting up a fallen tree. You have to actually put it in a car and drive it to a disposal site. I waited a few weeks, hoping somebody who actually has a car might do that. But once the tire was there, people started dumping other garbage next to it. There was no trash pickup on that side of the street, only in the alley, and no street cans on that block. They were putting whole bags there, and things like bent-up car bumpers. I

ok this is what a bunch of sesame street characters would look like without their fur
Big text at the top says "ok this is what a bunch of sesame street characters would look like without their fur" This is followed by four consecutive drawings that are exactly of that. Grover is a man in his underwear with no ears and large bulbous eyes. A textbox says "this is what you wanted" Cookie monster is a large man with a small head, also in his underwear, with his eyes erupting from the top of his head. An accompanying text box says "you asked for this." Grover is a slouched, pale man with a wide head and wideset eyes, and a nose like a snake, he may be nude but it's unclear, since his waist is off screen. "Your desire for knowledge led you to this point" Elmo is a thin man in underwear, with eyes jutting from the top of his head and a bulbous nose. He has another face coming out of his chest. "ask yourself if you really needed everything answered."

Engagement-based #algorithms amplify intergroup hostility + moral-emotional content, leading it to be overrepresented in your feed

This leads us to falsely perceive that people want to see this kind of content and share more of it.

For those who haven’t seen it put People Under the Stairs on your watch list this month. It’s totally off the wall and has a strong anti landlord message.

At the risk of being sophomoric: funny how it's never pesticides. It's never preservatives. It's never additives that make things tastier or more colorful. It's never processed sugars and fats

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.
