Some winter transit from the past couple weeks <3
A vintage Milwaukee Road engine in the snow. It is a bright red and orange train, and there are light-up snowflakes on its side. The Amtrak Borealis engine, a blue and silver train, encrusted with snow and ice. My bike in a snowstorm at night. The MetroTransit Northstar train in the snow. It is bright blue, yellow, and red.

I organize my music by what type of transit it reminds me of (ex: subway, 737, Shinkansen) and my friend gave me an epiphany today :
A playlist titled “SBB-CFF-FFS,” the name of Switzerland’s rail company. The description reads “Swiss trains only listen to podcasts.” There is one song in the playlist, “White Noise 90 Minutes.”

The key to a good academic paper is to open with “What’s up gamers”

Then move onto a webster’s dictionary definition of your topic.

And finally close with “but of course, I had the last laugh.”

“Man, there’s no WAY American’s 100th anniversary livery is cooler than Lufthansa’s!”
The American Airlines 100th anniversary livery:
flightradar24.com Flightradar24 @flightradar24.com · Oct 15
✈️🎨👀 American Airlines just unveiled its 100th anniversary livery. Harkening back to the Flagship livery from the 1930s first worn by American’s DC-3s, this centennial livery will be worn by 777-300ER registration N735AT beginning in November. flightradar24.com/data/aircraf...
A rendering of American Airlines’ new "Flagship" centennial livery on a 777-300ER. The livery features the iconic Silver Eagle fuselage color and the International Orange lightning bolt cheatline and rudder stripe and engine cowling paint. The long-used American logo is on the rear fuselage, while "Flagship" is painted on the upper fuselage above the wing.

A part of the next video (which I have been planning since a year ago and working on this whole past month) has proven to be more than I can manage right now. I’m gonna have to shelve the whole video, maybe until next summer :(

really should be no other questions for microsoft published games this week

NEW: During an interview at the Xbox booth on the Gamescom show floor, I attempted to ask a veteran Obsidian developer for their thoughts on making video games at Microsoft amid layoffs and widespread criticism over the company's links to Israel.

I was immediately shut down.

Stickers on my bike!! Plus a fascinating bell I found.
A dark blue bike with a sticker on it. The sticker has an orange corn snake surrounded by orange flowers. A picture of the same dark blue bike. There is an orange water bottle holder, an orange snake sticker, an orange/pink sticker with Woodstock from Snoopy on it, and an orange sticker that says "read" in bubble letters A bike bell. It has little drawings of bikes on it and says "Ride You Bicycle, Attract A Female!" "Bicycle" is written in Chinese in the middle.

Kurt Vonnegut’s definition of what makes something “art” is one of my favorites I’ve seen - from a letter to his brother in 1995.
People capable of loving some paintings or etchings or whatever can rarely do this without knowing something about the art-ist. Again, the situation is social rather than scientific. Any work of art is one halt of a conversation between two human beings, and it helps a lot to know who is talking at you. Does he or she have a reputation for seriousness, for sincerity? There are virtually no beloved or respected paintings made by persons of whom we know nothing. We can even surmise a lot about the lives of whoever did the paintings in the caves underneath Lascaux, France. So I dare to suggest that no picture can attract serious attention without a human being attached to it in the viewer's mind. If you are unwilling to attach your name to your pictures, and to say why you hope others might find them rewarding to look at, there goes the ballgame right there. Pictures are famous for their human-ness and not their picture-ness. There is also the matter of craftsmanship. Real picture lovers like to "play along," so to speak, to look closely at the surface to see how the illusion was created by nothing but an unusual human being, with hands and eyes. If you are unwilling to say how you made your pictures, there goes the ballgame a second time. Good luck, and love as always K
