A four panel Clavin and Hobbes comic strip featuring only Susie alone with no background talking to herself. First panel, wiping a tear from her eye, "*sniff* That stupid calvin. Why does he call me names for no reason? It's just mean." Second panel, somewhat defiantly, "I wish I had a hundred friends. Then I wouldn't care. I'd say 'who needs you, Calvin? I've got a hundred other friends!'" Third panel, mockingly, "Then my hundred friends and I would go do something fun, and leave Calvin all alone! Ha!" Fourth panel, sitting down dejected, "...and as long as I'm dreaming, I'd like a pony."

The map from https://xkcd.com/1196/ showing the subway lines of every North American metro system as a combined system with imagined connections between identically colored lines. The map has a "You are here" note added with an arrow pointing to the thin red line connecting the ends of Washington DC's and Atlanta's red lines, which is labeled "Morgantown, WV Automated Line."

Victory and Balboa is basically on top of a G Line BRT stop, that will supposedly someday be light rail, and will be two stops from the Sepulveda Line and three stops from the East San Fernando Valley Light Rail when those are built
Looking North up Balboa St across Victory Blvd. There is a high school sports field behind some trees on the left and a mini L-shaped mall of the style seen all around Los Angeles on the right. Victory and Balboa both have eight total lanes (not clear if the outer lanes are traffic or parking) Looking South down Balboa across Victory. There is a parking lot for the G-Line station on the left and a three-story office building on the right

Two guys sharing a lighthouse, no way that could go badly
Still from the film The Lighthouse, in the beautiful black-and-white high-contrast look that the film had, with Willen Dafoe as the grizzled old lighthouse keeper on the left, holding a pipe upside-down in his teeth and looking off to our left, while Robert Pattinson as the younger apprentice is on the right, with his head facing mostly in the same direction as Dafoe's but his eyes facing distinctly more towards the viewer.

21 years old and still relevant:
Screenshot of a blog post dated March 06, 2004, titled "If Wishes Were Horses, Beggars Would Ride -- A Pony!" The quoted text reads: "I think Matthew Yglesias' response to Josh Chafetz' exercise in wishful thinking was about right, even if Brad DeLong's is more nuanced. I'd like to note, though, that Chafetz is selling himself short. You see, wishes are totally free. It's like when you can't decide whether to daydream about being a famous Hollywood star or having amazing magical powers. Why not -- be a famous Hollywood star with amazing magical powers! Along these lines, John has developed an infallible way to improve any public policy wishes. You just wish for the thing, plus, wish that everyone would have their own pony! So, in Chafetz' case, he should not only wish that Bush would say a lot of good things about democracy-building and fighting terrorism in a speech written for him by a smart person, he should also wish that Bush should actually mean the things he says and enact policies which reflect this, and he should wish that everyone gets a pony. See?"

C'mon Google, let's see that fully continuous K Line. This map is almost 3 hours out of date

I haven't been down that way in a while, but I am wearing my Alden boots today. These would have been made at Alden's factory on Taunton St in Middleborough, which leads into Taunton from the other direction

Yep, here on page 48
Photo of page 48 of Upside Down by Eduardo Galeano, with the relevant paragraphs reading as follows (as best as I can correct the auto-generated text): "You look like an Indian' or "You smell like a black," say some mothers in countries with a large Indian or black presence when their children don' x want to take a bath. Yet the chroniclers of the Conquest noted the Spaniards astonishment at the frequency with which Indians bathed. It was Indians, and later African slaves, who had the courtesy to pass their hygienic habits on to other Americans from Canada to Chile. The Christian faith distrusted bathing suspecting it of being a sin because it felt SO good. In Spain during the Inquisition, frequent bathers, accused of Moslem heresy, could end up burned at the stake., In Spain today, someone is a real Arab if he vacations at Marbella on the Costa del Sol, but a poor Arab is just a Moor, per- haps "a stinking Moor." Anyone who has visited the Alhambra, that festival of water in Granada, knows Islam has been a culture of water since way back when Christians wouldn't touch it except to drink. In reality, showers became popular in Europe quite recently, more or less at the same time as television.

And just 2.6 miles away on Revere Beach Parkway in Everett is the same thing. I'm still sad that the second Dunkin location in Back Bay Station has been closed for years now. I used to love the fact that they had 2 locations in the same train station
Google Maps street view image showing Revere Beach Pkwy, a six-lane divided road. There is a Dunkin Donuts in a small commercial plaza on the left side of the street, and very slightly further away there is a Dunkin (newer branding that has dropped the "donuts" from the name) sharing a building with a Popeye's Chicken. Google Maps ariel view of the same scene with both Dunks highlighted and showing how very across-the-street-from-each-other they are

The worst thing anyone's ever done to Kyle Smith is to run this dogshit with his byline in the New York Post. An editor that liked him would have had it shredded and disavowed all knowledge that it existed
Headline of a piece in the New York Post by Kyle Smith titled "Women are not capable of understanding 'GoodFellas'" with a publicity photo of the cast and the sub-hed "'GoodFellas' is the ultimate male fantasy film, according to movie critic Kyle Smith."

I haven't read Bullshit Jobs, but I always liked his 2007 essay "Army of Altruists" which, I think, would put him on the side of being in favor of USAID as an altruistic enterprise which working class people might be able to join. harpers.org/archive/2007...
Here we need to remember not just the changes in higher education but also the role of unpaid, or effectively unpaid, internships. It has become a fact of life in the United States that if one chooses a career for any reason other than the salary, for the first year or two one will not be paid. This is certainly true if one wishes to be involved in altruistic pursuits: say, to join the world of charities, or NGOs, or to become a political activist. But it is equally true if one wants to pursue values like Beauty or Truth: to become part of the world of books, or the art world, or an investigative reporter. The custom effectively seals off such a career for any poor student who actually does attain a liberal arts education. Such structures of exclusion had always existed, of course, especially at the top, but in recent decades fences have become fortresses. If that mechanic’s daughter wishes to pursue something higher, more noble, for a career, what options does she really have? Likely just two: She can seek employment at her local church, which is hard to get. Or she can join the army.

Don't know if I'm the first to say this, but...
Image of the Kool Aid Guy (an anthropomorphic pitcher of Kool Aid shouting "oh yeah" and holding a smaller pitcher of Kool Aid) busting through a brick wall. The Kool Aid Guy has Michael T Sweeney's Bluesky avatar superimposed on him. The text surrounding the image says "Because they like Trump and want him to rule us like a king."

I think if you want him to kick you out, making fun of Bari Weiss is the way to go
Tweets from Thomas Chatterton Williams reading: "I'm in the middle of nowhere in France and I literally ended up expelling from my house an American friend of a friend staying over who, out of nowhere, started ranting against Bari Weiss. I asked him to simply substantiate the ridiculous claims he was repeating and he couldn't. Bari is my friend. People can disagree with her positions, and she'd be the first to encourage that, but what is so incredible is how many don't even know what they are talking about. And can't even name a single thing she's written that was what got them to hold their opinion. This nonsense is seeping into real life. People just hear that some people are good or bad and are not thinking or reading for themselves. I think a lot of people are misinterpreting this tweet (on purpose). I invited him repeatedly to expound in good faith. He couldn't, and he ended up self-expelling with my encouragement."

Well, Bill Melugin is a notorious imbecile of long standing
Bill Melugin Tweet reading: "BREAKING: Sources tell me an off duty LAPD officer allegedly found a tampon halfway thru his Frappuccino at a Starbucks in Diamond Bar on Friday. I’m told he used his police credit union debit card. Sheriff’s Dept. confirms they took a report & they’re now investigating. @FOXLA" with a picture of something that doesn't look much like a tampon being pulled out of a Starbucks Frappucino.

Look, if a Ben Garrison cartoon celebrates someone's intellectual prowess, the mainstream media has to describe them as an intellectual, those are the rules
This is an absolutely bonkers Ben Garrison cartoon with Darren Beattie (labeled, of course) sitting on a chair that is also his enormous brain spilling out of the top of his head, behind a desk and reading a book of philosophy while Jonah Goldberg, wearing a dunce cap and a Goucher College shirt washes Darren Beattie's feet. Off to the side, men labeled Nabokov, Grothendienk, Harold Bloom, and Heidegger look on amused at Goldberg's humiliation. The Grothendienk character is wearing a shirt that says "Pure Motives." There's also a bunch of books of probably philosophy on Beattie's bookshelf, all labeled, of course, but I'm not going to waste any more of my time on this crap.

The dirt part to the west of that route is probably the most scenic. And I managed it no problem on a road bike, although that might depend on how rainy it's been. The route you have does have nice views as shown here
