A local bridge owned by the Union Pacific Railroad. Built in 1930. It was given a "local significance" rating of 2/6.

I just caught a part of the Muppet Babies and baby Kermit said “I always wanted to be a baseball player when I grow up. I am good at catching flies.”

“All riches come from theft; every rich man is a thief or the heir of a thief.” A quote taken from the 13th century during one of the many French class wars. Still true to this day.

To all my artsy fartsies out there: I'm curious about Substack. Are you on it? Are you getting a good response? How do YOU use it? Are you enjoying it? Would you recommend other artists join?

“Don’t’ be a Jerk, It’s Christmas” by SpongeBob SquarePants is a vastly underrated classic Christmas song.

We have ALL this “technically advanced” AI bullshit nowadays and iPhones still don’t have a graphing calculator. Many people wouldn’t even know how to use a graphing calculator but, many don’t know how to use AI (ethically) either.

Maybe go to sleep at night instead of shitposting all night.
President Trump appeared to struggle to stay awake at a White House event for a second time in a month on Tuesday, as his Cabinet officials provided updates on their work.

During a roughly 75-minute stretch, Trump's eyes were closed or he visibly struggled to keep them open. https://wapo.st/4ovQTFo

Petey the elf just sat on that shelf,
alone on that dusty edge.
His rage grew and grew when he finally knew,
on Christmas he would get his revenge.
