From Reddit: It's 178 years old! It cost the equivalent of around £3m to build back then, with 11,000,000 bricks brought up the Ouse river from the Netherlands and topped with French limestone. Since then it's had many times the original build cost spent on maintenance, it was originally designed to have a 120 year lifetime. But now that it's listed (and forms a key part of the London-to-Brighton mainline) it's hopefully here to stay for a lot longer still. Here's a view of it from another perspective: https://i.imgur.com/qk7KCT3.jpg

Partially true story. She's 22. She had an accident at 15 that caused a head injury, leaving her with episodic blindness, vertigo and other complications. She wasn't thrown off the bus by the driver, but chose to disembark after encountering an ignorant Karen(is there any other kind?) who loudly insisted that assistance dogs could ONLY be yellow, and as Karens are wont to do, would not be dissuaded nor shut her abusive and ignorant trap.

Sorry, but these are still viable. They are perfect stepping stones for those who are too afraid to make an immediate commitment to going full commando. They're like training wheels,lol.

Asimov's 3 Laws of Robotics never foresaw mean words.

First day of school in Grade 1. The building, having been relatively empty for the summer, had developed a unique, not unpleasant, but different, musty smell. I've run into a fleeting shadow of that scent, a dozen or so times over the last, almost 6 decades, and each and every time I'm transported back to that day.

Murderous hordes pouring through doors and windows. "ALEXA!! WE NEED GUNS!!!" Alexa:"Ordering buns."

From a Reddit post on this photo:"His experience with Nazi Germany and anti-semitism definitely informed his worldview on racism.
Some of the best takeaways from that article:
- He joined Theodore Dreiser to protest the Scottsboro Boys trial (which led to Henry Ford publishing libelous essays about him written by literal Nazi's)
- He accepted an invite from W.E.B Du Bois to publish a piece where he praised the civil rights effort, urging African-Americans "not to let racists drag down their self-worth"
- He gave a speech at Lincoln University in 1946 saying, "There is separation of colored people from white people in the United States...That separation is not a disease of colored people. It is a disease of white people. I do not intend to be quiet about it.”
- He was placed under FBI surveillance by J. Edgar Hoover (as with all civil rights activists of course)"

Needs more dinosaurs and a smiling Sun.

BIG WEDDING and BIG DIAMOND got together to set these "rules". Just like Valentine's Day suddenly filled in the commercial doldrums between Christmas and Easter.

1) As a government agency, the PO SHOULDN'T be making a profit. It should break even at best. 2) It charges a fixed rate, no matter where a delivery-its for-profit competitors charge more for rural deliveries...when they aren't actively offloading the last leg...onto the PO. 3) It doesn't control its prices-Congress does. 4) It was making TOO much money, so in 2006, Congress mandated they set aside $110B over 10 years-about $50B MORE than they took in. That why they're in trouble.

It never too early for kids to learn that there's always a catch.

Corn stalk standing to the side, "Corny!"

Honestly, after all keyboard warriors we've encountered on social media, who didn't love the way they handled it at the end of Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back? Everyone is free to disagree with a person's position, but ad hominem attacks and name calling, from a distance, are a cowardly way try to win an argument. If you aren't willing to say what you want, to a person's face, perhaps you should rephrase it.

When I joined I was assured there would be no math. Go figure...I mean metaphorically.

It seems the new Doctor Who is going going back to his roots.
