“It’s gonna change the character of the neighborhood”

- people who move to a neighborhood to reap the lively vibes yet personally contribute nothing (every single time)

Pretty sure they inherited that building so I’ll give them a pass. Of all supermarkets I wish that one (and the Sendick’s on Silver Spring) were more “urban”.

I wish you didn’t have to traverse the parking lot to enter the KK store. Parking should be in back, entrance among the sidewalk.

Agree 100%, nice to hear someone else say it! Once The History Channel started being terrible in the 2000s every show was called something like "Awesome Nazi Weapons!" and featured a photo of mustache man. It was all too much

I didn't even realize Bluesky had been invaded. Here I am gleefully posting about cargo bikes...

F-18 doesn’t have a bomb bay, where is he dumping that from? The O2 mask isn’t covering his nose. This is technically all wrong; boy I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder.

Many parents are now are forgoing minivans for greener alternatives: cargo bikes. They have been around for decades, but the advent of the electric bike motor has made them much more popular. n.pr/3WJyZn9
Why more parents are riding cargo bikes, skipping the minivan

This is our life in Italy. Great food, but no variety. Over time I’ve realized it’s my 🇺🇸 brain that desires maximum meal variety, local friends don’t seem to notice. I sure do miss Seattle Asian food though…

The most obvious example is Ronald Reagan. I wonder where he learned to be so "authentic"?

Somewhere there is a printed photo of me at the Capitol Mall anti Iraq war rally from March 2003, does that count?

Better yet "Festa degli Immigrati Italiani" to remind the way-too-large population of Italian-Americans who are anti-immigrant that their recent ancestors were immigrants too.

As an Italian-American, I get embarrassed by my fellow Italiani who cling to Columbus Day. We're not saying don't Celebrate Italians, we're saying stop affixing genocidal Columbus to Italian-Americans. Just change it to Sinatra Day, or Basilone Day, or just "Festa degli Americani-Italiani".

Only problem is ITA is based at LIN, not MXP. Same old Milan airport problems

I really wish they'd make ORD-MXP year round.

I work in Europe where most passenger issues are based more on destination than origin (flights to party cities are the worst). Based solely on perception, in Europe there still seem to be traces of “we’re in this together” and since covid Americans seem angry all the time.

See also: my field, aviation. You’d think everyone in a metal tube careening at Mach 0.8 and pressurized 4psi less than normal air pressure would be able to keep it together, but…

Motion to officially import into English the word "Ekranoplan" as the official designation for these types of vehicles.
