Some @radicalgraffiti.bsky.social stickers while in road tripping around Norway
In the "ramp pub" in Trondheim, four stickers on a bathroom wall. From bottom up they read "pröppers vendetta", "refugees welcome", a sticker in Arabic supporting Palestine, and a big slice of watermelon. There is also some graffiti A Tesla charger somewhere in Norway, with a sticker that reads "capitalism ruins everything around me" and a little a in a circle

Went to the smaller #NoKings in Carlsbad instead of the big one down in SD, and the turnout was still incredible. Probably 2000 people stretched along Coast Highway. Electric.

Seriously they are everywhere, as soon as you leave the cities.

I was trying on hats for a day at the ponies.
It's me! I'm wearing a floppy sunhat, with a big laugh on my face in a sunlight living room.

My obligatory time-change post: the issue is more complex and nuanced then goes into a pithy take, here's a cool article, and I honestly don't give a fuck if we abolish or make permanent i just hate the switching.

Six maps of the US, split into two columns and three rows. The first column is shaded to show reasonable sunrise times; and the second column is shaded to show reasonable sunset times. The first row shows our current daylight savings time regime, with the switching back and forth. The second row shows if DST was abolished. The third row shows if DST was made permanent.

I went on vacation in November and I stopped running and shitpigged hard whilst off.

People leave the *weirdest* reviews on obscure spots in Google maps. This from the Louis-Babel Ecological Reserve up Quebec.

I just wonder how the fishing is!" The second, five stars, by S R, a year ago: "The folks were very welcoming, they gave us coffee and beans in the morning. At night we drank firewater around the camp. Beware of the man with the gold tooth and head the warnings..." with a More link The third, four stars, by Lloyd Nine, two years ago: "I walked with my mule (Pepe) for 3 days ans nights before we came upon a clearing where Gordon Lightfoot was there alone at a campfire. He had bacon cooking and he had his guitar out. He handed me..." with a More link
