What is like the CHEAPEST thing of quality one can buy now?

EX: coffee used to be 10 cents. I know it’s not 1970 anymore, but what is the modern equivalent?

Let’s go walk through the neighborhood on today’s #SundayScan

Found this at a yard sale for a dollar.

Feel free to turn “She was cool” into a meme.

It’s almost like working through problems, grappling with texts, having complicated conversations, fostering interpersonal relationships, and a willingness to put in the work was a successful recipe for human advancement for thousands of years…..
Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

I miss before the social media fracturing of our little community.
People were more willing to engage and everyone cared a lot more.
I know nothing lasts and I know it’s bleak out there.
I just struggle with accepting that everyone has given up this much.

Anyways, here’s THE BLACK CAULDRON

It’s so modern, it’s ULTRA-modern.
Like living in the not too distant future.

FINALLY! Some good news!

Really wish the state of Florida would care about its own history, but a win is a win.

I really don’t buy much EPCOT swag anymore.
However, this was in pristine condition and a great snag.

This pretty much sums up why Disney Parks are being ripped up to shove up random franchises in every corner. Just a stunning lack of awareness of what makes these things special, why they work.

Sometimes, most of the time, it ain't about storytelling.

Bored on a Sunday morning?
Miss Halloween already?

Join me as I give in to peer pressure from @peppersghost.bsky.social and @tocpe82.bsky.social to open these 20 year old Simpsons figures.
