Kurt Vonnegut on Armistice Day from Breakfast of Champions (1973)

I will come to a time in my backwards trip when November eleventh, accidentally my birthday, was a sacred day called Armistice Day.

Recently, I haven't been seeing as hardly as many Cybertrucks in real life as I did a year or so ago. They've only been around for two years, and unfortunately, they're still making them. You'd think one would be seeing more of them. I just saw this one in a repair shop.
I guess that explains it.

So for 18 years, he not only never cared to find out what the large tattoo on chest meant, but when he watched Indian Jones and the Last Crusade, or any other movie that had an SS officer in it, and he never noticed that his tattoo was on their hat? Wouldn't that make him too stupid to be a senator?

Here in the Seattle area, we have a few double-deckers on a few specific routes. Including a brand new BRT. A couple of our transit agencies decided that they must have some advantages over articulated buses for these specific routes, as they already were using articulated buses on other routes.

You must be using some new definition of the compound word "highly-populated" I was previously unfamiliar with.
Seriously though, I'm sure railbuses could easily handle all the rail passenger traffic between the population centers on the east side of the state.

Women getting paid in Afghanistan is a good thing, using Bitcoin to do it is not. Bitcoin in no way makes women getting paid in Afghanistan any easier.

Musk did not give a Nazi salute. He gave the Terran Empire salute from the Star Trek episode where a transporter malfunction sends Kirk, McCoy, Scotty, and Uhura to a mirror universe where everyone else is an evil version of themselves.
Musk must just be confused as to which universe he's in.

It's been well over a century since a major metropolitan burned. Rural communities have burned, and small areas of cites have, but nothing on the scale that Los Angeles is experiencing now. Modern fire codes and firefighting infrastructure had made that a thing of the past, until now.
