any discussion of city transit improvement online ever

the "the myth of consensual sex" meme where it's a couple saying they consent but then jesus is off to the side saying he does't, but it's been changed so it says
"the myth of consensual urban transit planning"
And the couple is labeled "city dwellers"
the man is saying "we should make it easier to not drive here"
The woman is saying "like building bike lanes or adding bus routs."
And Jesus has been replaced with clip art of a farmer, labeled "someone who lives 1000 miles away and has no involvement whatsoever." and is saying "Stop trying to take my car away I will kill you"
text at the bottom still says "isn't there somebody you forgot to ask?"

The wreck of the USS Inagural, a WWII minesweeper that saw action in the Pacific and was sent to St Louis after the war to be a static display museum ship, but broke loose from her moorings during the 1993 flood and sank.

New roll time. Scanned this with my new digital camera; I don't think I did a great job of it but I think these shots still turned out nice.

A golden hour shot of a concrete rail bridge in an empty lot, with its sets of columns illuminated and casting a shadow over the asphalt and fenced area. Shot on expired Ultramax with a Maxxum AF Zoom 28-85mm f/3.5-4.5 lens using a Minolta Alpha 7.

The former Millennium Hotel in downtown St Louis as viewed from halfway up on the top of a nearby parking garage. The sun is setting and the building is bathed in orange and purple fading daylight.

A brutalist building as seen from the top of a nearby parking garage. It is framed by streetlights on the parking garage that are on but clearly not doing much for the lighting situation.
