When I was driving long distances regularly, one of the most pleasant ways to do it was to get in the rightmost lane, set my cruise control to like 5 under the speed limit, and just let the rest of traffic flow around me
One of my earliest realizations of the complete vacuousness of libertarianism was hearing them insist that driving slower than the speed limit is more dangerous than speeding.
So if we really want to save lives we should install a mandatory minimum speed for cars rather than a maximum, got it.

Group of transit nerd teens just got on the train and immediately critiqued the fact that they updated the system map by putting a new sticker on top of the last map modifying sticker instead of removing the old sticker first, so the kids are alright

While I’m graphic design posting here’s the current backdrop used by the mountain goats at their concerts and after staring at it for a while I still kind of want to tighten up the H-E gap on the first line and the I-N gap on the second line

I always give Bono and the Edge a pass because they’re the singer and guitarist but I just respect the hell out of Ringo for the audacity of it. People might assume “well if he’s going by that he must be the flashiest most talented one” and Ringo can be like “absolutely not love”

We just accept it because it’s always been this way but ‘Ringo Starr’ is a bonkers thing to call yourself when the other guys are John, Paul, and George. It’s like having a band where everyone else uses their real name and then the drummer goes yes please call me Crackers Creamsworth

Honestly HD for old TV shows is overrated anyway. Star Trek should be watched in standard definition, the way God and Gene Roddenberry intended.

remains insane to me that we spent decades trying to explain the merits of original aspect ratio movie releases on home video only to completely abandon it by the time the HD-remaster era came about
this is why i will never give up my circa 2010 dvd boxset of THE WIRE. i don't give a shit about high def for older tv shows, give me the original aspect ratio (need to get my hands on an old simpsons boxset for this reason as well)
HBOMax has started showing a 'remastered' 4K Mad Men and they’ve messed things up so during Roger’s oyster vomit scene you can now see the crew men with the vomit hose on the right

really really good
last week i remembered that macOS lets you set your own icons and that *I* have the power to delegitimize the professionalism of the software that runs on my machine, so here's a thread of the 16 new icons i've made so far

i really forgot how fun it was to just sit down and make art for myself :')

I can accept this. The movie suggested by the first Rogue One trailer, however, was incredible and marred only by it's nonexistence
rogue one is bad folks. i have believed this since i saw it in theaters and no subsequent rewatch has changed my mind. basically a chop job until the final sequence, which is good (for star wars)

I look at this image and I try to wrap my head around the sheer scale of what is represented. It's not an easy thing to do.
Contrary to all those click-baity headlines about how cosmology is "broken," scientists are mostly frustrated that it's *not* obviously broken.

When we can find the real cracks, we'll have a path to deeper understanding. 🧪🔭

IMO, the correct ending is white walkers win and all life goes extinct in the ensuing ice age.
i feel like if you understand what the ending of the show was trying to say there's no point in having any content set after it.

no new age of the world, westeros is trapped in doomed to be trapped in hellish medieval stasis for eternity. the wheel spins on forever
George R.R. Martin teases the 'Game of Thrones' universe will finally get to the world after the OG show's divisive finale.
