The baseball teams are self-consciously mirroring each other. Onto sort of a commedia dell’arte thing out there. Silently they are mouthing, “runs are not the objective”

In 2004, Parisian police were conducting a training exercise in the french catacombs and found, after moving past a desk and a tape playing audio of snarling dogs, a fully functional movie theater and bar. When they returned 3 days later, the equipment was gone, with a note: “Do not try to find us.”

My best friend owns a pug, which means my Instagram feed is littered with pug accounts.

The Dulles people movers: humble and vaguely amusing design held over from another time, roaming over the tarmac like pack animals, pretty fast and convenient. How can you not be romantic about the people movers.
