One other fun thing related to this is that we had tickets to see Cowboy Junkies at Wolf Trap back in the early aughts. And then Dar Williams ended up being the opener. It was one of the best concerts we've been to.

Trains have many doors, unlike planes.

This 2022 piece by Jeremy Peters In the New York Times was hilarious bullshit when it was published but now that Musk is literally bankrolling the entire Republican Party it’s a fucking laugh riot.

We noticed that the Alexandria Welfare League of Alexandria's fundraising auction still has some pretty good deals, including some summer camps in the area. Maybe since pawsintheparkva.com had to be cancelled again? Anyway, bid away: www.32auctions.com/AWLAPawsinth...

We *finally* watched "The Sheep Detectives" and it was pretty great. Took me a bit to get used to the CG but the movie reminded me a lot of a slightly older style of family movie mixed with some more modern comedy sensibilities.

Since Alexandria and Arlington's libraries made different decisions about whether to be closed or not today, I figured I'd look at the VA law. And, I think I didn't know this, learned that today is "Columbus Day and Yorktown Victory Day" in Virginia (§ 2.2-3300).

I'm glad, at least partly, that the Windows 3.1 color scheme "Hot Dog Stand" is finally being implemented as a car.

Name a quote from the Simpsons.

Nerds Gummy Clusters are by far the best candy introduced in the 2020s and among the best new candy of the 2000s, if not the best and further back.

At the moment, it was probably a re-release of Snow White when I was 5-ish and the Evil Queen was trying to push the boulder. More lasting, maybe seeing Batman (1989) at a drive-in in rural Virginia and then driving home at night as a kid. Felt very uneasy the whole ride.

Season 9 had some fine episodes, also some poor ones, but all of them had the hallmarks of the coming collapse (as did the latter production half of season 8). I weirdly recall actively disliking this one when first broadcast. I've softened a bit on it since.

Really they should have expanded the football field to match the Melbourne grounds. AFL field sizes change why not NFL. 🙃

Two recent AI food posters in restaurant windows that make me less likely to frequent them. At least the Chinese food one isn't too yellow-tinged.

The idea of AI “hallucinating” is one I wish I’d had!

BIG thanks to everyone who made my show a part of their visit to the 80th Howard County Fair! What a fun week ♥️

Fine I'll share @summoningsalt.bsky.social 's video about the world record history for it. Now almost 2 years old but still a great video www.youtube.com/watch?v=po9a...

The other day I was picking up Pizza from Pomodoro Pizza in Bethany Beach. The grandmother that runs it was very proud and pointed at the TV showing her grandson playing in the DE vs MD game in the Mid-Atlantic little League world series game

oh wow r/washingtondc found the worst one i've seen so far

A partial ball of jute twine.

This is a possibility but honestly I think the correct solution is to use the James Bond name and get a director that's very good at making quick, good, and low budget action movies done. And make a ton, like the original novels. Oceans 11 but Bond, maybe.

Maaaaybe support this if it's only based on the box art only.

Quick thinking having a tablecloth handy. I didn’t even notice the twitching from that dead robot.

the most realistic scene in Jurassic Park is when two scientists make a questionable decision — traveling to an undisclosed location with a strange man — on the promise of three years of modest funding

I'm pretty sure it was Life of Brian when I was 7-ish.

It's maybe okay to do passes that low at an air show or similar. But if it really is just "randomly" buzzing a beach that puts the beach goers at an increased risk without their consent and is bad.

Not claiming this is the best screenshot of it but for whatever reason I thought of this great tweet from the 2010s tonight.

It's incredible how different it is to drive north of Leesburg now compared to 20-30 years ago. Data centers, corporate highrises, and suburban sprawl galore. Still fun to drive past some of the OG Ashburn data centers are and where AOL's (at the time massive) data center was.

In the DC area, we had very nice ADC maps (later brought by Langenscheidt then Kappa) which had logical regions with consistency: either a county or multiple combined. I go to MA and their map books are by *town* and pages are *alphabetical* and *radically* different in scale.
