FYI there is no "real" reason why Rome "fell." Its power waned for the usual, mundane reasons: widening gap between rich and poor, inability to maintain infrastructure, incompetent leadership, pointless wars, endless persecution of marginalized groups who performed vital labor, etc.

Fuck these fucking fucks who murdered this man. Prison time would be too kind. Saving this for the next time ICE comes up in conversation with who voted for it. This is what they wrought, they deserve to have their faces rubbed in it. Fuck reconciliation, fuck compromise, I want vengeance.

Joan Sebastian Guerrero's wife: That Monday afternoon was supposed to be a day with Papa. But he never arrived. My daughter asks for Papa, and I don't have the strength to tell her that Papa won't come and she won't be able to hug him or tell him, 'daddy, I love you.' Every night she asks for him.

WTH is up with the video feed decisions for this England v. Norway game? Lots of little "was that a foul?" moments and we're getting like zero replays. I get the focus on field and this game hasn't has any slow moments, but it feels like fewer replays of interesting moments than other games.

The thing is I just love these little cars. They tickle so many of my interests; car design, toy design, manufacturing, motorsports history, picking up a little treat for myself after completing the grocery shopping...

Matchbox 1968 Chevy C10 in the morning sun. This is 2026 Collectors #16/20, part of the fancier series with full metal chassis+body, rubber tires, and full decoration. The truck is blue with multicolored side stripes. Interestingly the grill+headlamp area is molded completely smooth and relies totally on the (excellent) tampo for all the detail.

Our new public library is so awesome! It has a wonderful kids section including lots of things to play on, a coffee shop, maker space room, reading nooks, everything. It's a wonderful place to go and spend time, and it's easy biking distance from our house!

See, I drive a low old Subaru for safety reasons. No tall hood or thick A-pillar blind spots here, no siree! (chubby tires, turbo whoosh, exhaust burble, 5-speed are also safety features, I swear..)

Nice morning for ocean roll bread pudding(!!) from the local bakery, plus I scored a whole box of USA-made files from a former neighbor's estate sale. RIP Don, will be thinking of you when I use these.

A cardboard box with a dozen+ metal and wood files of various shape and size. Sparrow Bakery Ocean Rolls are like cinnamon rolls but with a lovely crusty sugar/salt/cardamom flavoring and honey. Day-olds have been transformed into bread pudding, dusted with powdered sugar, warmed up, pictured here in a to-go box.
