Go blue
A framed photo of a smiling, babyfaced college student crouched in front of a tv, giving a thumbs up. He's wearing a handmedown Michigan '1' jersey over a yellow hoodie, a Michigan hat, jeans so light they're almost white, and white sneakers. The TV is not in a house but perched in the sliding door of a van in a parking lot. On screen, slightly blurry, the same student has his arms around a Michigan football player, and they are surrounded by screaming fans. At the bottom of the screen, overlayed by a pause icon: Ohio State 34, Michigan 40. Final.

My phone glitched and while I never thought of the N as particularly queer among Muni lines I'd be willing to hear a case
Screenshot of Transit App directions partially overlaid on the quoted skeet. The underlying image is a meme of "oops you added too much" of chocolate chip cookie ingredients, with the last one as The Iliad labeled "homosexual subtext" .

A certain tall, midwestern SFMTA employee seeing you enter the tunnel:

Like I always say, the most important feature of a nut is having as little grip surface as possible
An exposed faucet cartridge and bonnet nut, covered in penetrating grease. The nut has maybe 1/16" worth of hexagonal surface, and the rest is perfectly round. A rim of white mineral deposit or corrosion marks where it should turn.

I can't fucking believe I have to be this angry about contemporaneous self-inflicted tragedies on EDMUND FITZGERALD DAY
Screenshot of Wikipedia text. A highlighted portion reads, "McSorely reported, 'We are holding our own.' She was never heard from again." The whole text, with citation brackets removed for legibility: "I have a 'bad list', I have lost both radars, and am taking heavy seas over the deck in one of the worst seas I have ever been in." By late in the afternoon of November 10, sustained winds of over 50 knots (93 km/h; 58 mph) were recorded by ships and observation points across eastern Lake Superior. Arthur M. Anderson logged sustained winds as high as 58 knots (107 km/h; 67 mph) at 4:52 p.m., while waves increased to as high as 25 feet (7.6 m) by 6:00 p.m. Arthur M. Anderson was also struck by 70-to-75-knot (130 to 139 km/h; 81 to 86 mph) gusts and rogue waves as high as 35 feet (11 m). At approximately 7:10 p.m., when Arthur M. Anderson notified Edmund Fitzgerald of an upbound ship and asked how she was doing, McSorley reported, "We are holding our own." She was never heard from again. No distress signal was received, and ten minutes later, Arthur M. Anderson lost the ability either to reach Edmund Fitzgerald by radio or to detect her on radar.

Okay Internet I am desperate at this point (non-covid edition): does anyone make 100% cotton, gusseted jeans for "athletic" builds? I am resigned to finding nylon pants for bike commuting but this is unacceptable for what must be at most 150 days of wear
Gusseted jeans held up with fingers poking through holes on either side of the crotch.

Big things happening in the household @maggietokudahall.bsky.social
Screenshot of a text exchange with Kimee (my wife). K: if you wanna watch the first two episodes of Yellowjackets I watched with Crones K: I want to continue watching when I come back. I didn't know horror was involved lmao M: What did you think the show was?? K: A witty show about teenage girls (also not incorrect)! M: Teenage girls who get stranded in the woods and maybe have to resort to cannibalism! M: It's Maggie's favorite so you know it's a banger

@actioncookbook.com my wife is in Louisville for a friend's romance novel debut (Let's Give Em Pumpkin to Talk About) and she found a piece of local history
A blue and white button locked up like a mid century campaign icon. Around the perimeter, "I attended the last day! White Castle St. Matthews." The dates May 1, 1939 and April 16, 2002 frame a decolorized photo of literally a White Castle restaurant. The photo of the button is captioned, in a text thread, with "I got a Kentucky Labubu".

Damn that's crazy
Waymo blocking a 37 Muni bus for passenger pickup, at a crowded bus stop. Difficult to interpret in a still image, but a Waymo crossing the center line to pass in the middle of an intersection. A Waymo sitting in a red transit lane attempting to make an illegal right turn into a crowd of bikes.

Genuinely, one of the ways to defeat rising fascism is to make them look ridiculous. They desperately need to be seen as powerful and scary to succeed, and you can take that away from them. Get ready, Oakland

I saw your other post, but: this is why it's so sad that trains feel like a luxury
"How long will it take you to get there??"
"A...normal amount of time?"
