This seems like a good way to radicalize the most belligerent and grudge-keeping people in New England.

“Ense petit placidam sub libertate quietem”

A perfectly machines cylindrical piece of steel with two knurled bands at one ens and a radially symmetrical comb like structure at the other. Also the box the nose hair trimmer comes in.

The Royal Silver Bullet nose hair trimmer!
Well made, does the job, oddly satisfying to use.

My micro generation had gross transgressive mustaches so these guys could just be normal about it.

I mean... to the degree at "this is where a cow path was 200 years ago" is design

Other kinds of masshole behavior (clannishness, passive aggression, aggresive aggression etc.) driven by weather, the weirdness of having 300 towns compressed against each other, and historic cultural.

I have no explanation for why we think keying someone's car is an appropriate way to communicate.

Last time I was back home (greater boston area) I came to the conclusion that Massachusetts drivers (specifically in the eastern part of the state) have been driven insane by the actual design of the streets and highways.

I was under the impression that "Masshole" was in fact considered a positive term by the citizens of the great state of Massachusetts.

Just wait until he takes up jiujitsu.

As we exit the solar maximum, less solar radiation will excite and expand the atmosphere - so atmospheric drag will go down - making it safer to fly the satellites at a lower altitude without losing mission time - this also means the satellites will de-orbit more safely at the end of their mission

“Do you support ICE?”
“Not really.”
“Hell f*ckin’ nah.”

These two dudes drink for free on us if we ever run into them in Minnesota 🍻

My kids are short, and their height / visibility to a car is pretty much the only thing keeping me from turning them loose on the city.

The can handle everything else.

They have free rein on car-free governors island.

Forty years later the big interior decorating signal for villainy in Hollywood movies is still an appreciation for modern art.

Periodically available at downtown bars and restaurants in nyc - and I gotta say actually pretty good if you like savory / umami things.

Dr. Clark on bayard st. Has a lamb broth variation. Better than it sounds!

It’s been a while since I read the essay but as I recall, Benjamin thought the aura (which I think is on some level connected to the authentic) of a piece of art was inseparable from its “realness”

Is looking at a photo of a painting the same as looking at a painting?

Walter Benjamin sure didn't think so:

What the fuck is this guy wearing?
Is he going to the playboy mansion after this segment?

JFC the warnings and anecdotes you get about this place growing up in New England.

A giant crowd filtering through the canyon of Times Square. Lots of signs - people mad

No kings nyc - big crowd, calm but determined

Clamato.

Also - weirdly, the Simpsons has done a better job explaining America, religion and cops to my NYC babies than I ever could.

My kids just speed ran all 35 or whatever seasons. They vastly prefer more recent episodes and look forward to the next season.

So maybe it’s us that need to be retired.

“Tread on me daddy”

These MFs crave the authoritarian boot.

Check out a Jiujitsu studio - you'd be amazed at the initimacy / culture of care (in the right gym)

They crave the royal boot

Hilarious the Louisiana Gov and Senators are now asking Trump to federalize the Guard to take over New Orleans like supplicant subjects should. Let's remember. The Gov can do this any day of the week. That's what the Guard is. A state militia. Asking Trump to federalize them is some weird GOP kink.

No one at work wants to listen to Huntrix :(

This is going to fuck up mayonnaise discourse for a generation.

I'm in a fourth floor walk up, and the apartment isn't that big. The thing I love about citibike is not having to store a bike.

Docking a bike and walking away without a care in the world feels amazing.
