My device corrected "fasolada" to "gas lads" and now I am afraid I created a violent, right-wing anti-environmental group.

Tired: flat streets

Wired: Speed humps, tables, etc

Inspired: Speed *dips*, because modern clearance and suspension makes taking speed bumps at speed no big deal, but dips still make drivers worry they'll damage their car, and that has the highest level of encouraging compliance

Claes van Heussen, Fruit and Vegetable Seller, 1630, Oil on canvas, 157 x 200 cm (Private collection)
"This colossal still-life is signed and dated 1630 by Claes (Nicolaes) van Heussen, a Haarlem specialist of the genre. Details regarding his life are sparse and only a handful of his works have been identified. They are variously signed (C.v. Heussen and C.V. Heus) and are dated between 1626 and 1631. He won enough local fame in his own day for Samuel Ampzing to make a passing reference to him in his history of Haarlem, published in 1628. To judge from his surviving works van Heussen was inspired by the huge, abundant displays of fruits and vegetables favoured by Flemish artists and by their followers in the Northern Netherlands. Apparently he did not attempt the unpretentious, monochromatic still-lifes that Pieter Claesz and Willem Claesz Heda were painting at this very time in Haarlem, today prized as Holland's unique contribution to the subject. Like so many exuberant Flemish still-life specialists, he felt compelled to animate his still-lifes with some live action and, as they often did, he called upon a figure painter to do the job. In this painting, Frans Hals painted the coquettish young woman who has turned momentarily to look at the viewer as she reaches into a basket." https://www.wga.hu/html_m/h/heussen/fruit_ve.html

"You should have your tyres fixed by Bown's Perfect Process & then ruts would not affect them"

Newspaper advertisement featuring an illustration of two men riding high-wheeled bicycles, with one of them falling and the other saying the text in the post. There's a lot of text describing the product, which is "Bown's 'Perfect' Process of securing rubber tyres to rims of cycles and carriages." HT Nick Hickman

Said this before, but at a church mtg my BFF was at (topic: protect trans kids) they were deciding on public actions. Two white dudes (25-35) were worried about violent reactions by cops. Oldest white woman there asked "Who here has been tear gassed?" and every woman over 50 raised her hand.

I will say, as good as this is, just $80 for someone going 20mph over the limit is insane. That should be a revoke your license, crush your car into a cube penalty.

the use of "liberal" as a catch-all epithet points to a very bad intellectual tendency IMHO, it shows a cavalier attitude toward anti-liberalism, which is something no one should be playing footsie with
