Ikarus 692 Airport Bus -- basically a bus with a front end that elevates to become an enclosed staircase to the plane

Ikarus 695, i think

unsure what the model number is, but the entire front of the bus opens up and a staircase extends out of it.

just learned about these (prototype?) airport buses from the 80s, i believe all from the Serbian (then Yugoslavian) company Ikarus

holy shit

My insta feed is filled with endometriosis awareness month stuff (yes, I have endo), and I can’t fucking stand how many ob/gyns, physical therapists, naturalists, surgeons, etc. are all like “we need to to support patients more!” and not a single one takes fucking health insurance.

Back 2 Back Big East Champs #sjubb

There’s so much more to accomplish, especially after the bitter end of last season, but after 25 years of futility, I have to reprogram my brain to fully appreciate & savor moments like this.

One Lucky Fan had a very similar nostalgiac jonesing to finally see, and then reaction to, Saddledome... and is sad to learn it is going away soon.

Having seen them all, there is truly no arena like it in all of North America. And that’s a loss, its few shortcomings aside.

Great piece!

It's A Dome That's Shaped Like A Saddle | Defector CALGARY, Alberta — The Germans are famous for squishing words together to form useful new compounds. But Calgarians perfected the art when they came up with “Saddledome.” You look at it, and you say, ...

I paid my respects to the Saddledome during what feels like a nadir for the Flames: defector.com/its-a-dome-t...

Also, not for nothing & trivial, and I use them all the time WITH FRIENDS (see), but I’ll never vote for any candidate (bad news Jack, I‘m in NY-12) using Drumpfian ALL CAPS, weird spaces and punctuation, hair-on-fire posting style.

So Philip Glass just joined TikTok. He only has like 4 posts and they’re simply him in what I assume is his living room playing the piano. First comment on one I saw was “your piano is too close to the fireplace, you’ll dry it out” and if that’s not the internet in a nutshell I don’t know what is.

... in a Nissan Micra :)

But at least we knew to stay on the roads! And we handled the showdowns and blindheths with aplomb.

Exactly this. There was a time, so long ago now there’s probably plenty of younger NYers who don’t know, that NYDN was only legacy outlet doing what needed to be done to raise red flags. Then the chickenshits in charge said umm maybe dont do that ppl might get mad so here we are.

Devastating day.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeup

We joke but the Galleria Borghese website is only operational during their opening hours. If the museum isn’t open, the website simply does not load.

again we do not really do a good job of explaining how wealthy people like Jeff Bezos are

his net worth is $253.2 billion.
so he could take one million dollars, and just light it on fire
and then do it again tomorrow
and again the day after that
and then do it every day for 693 years and 8 months
