An image of Drake’s Well in Pennsylvania, first commercial oil well in the United States

I thought that at first too, but if you look more closely at the sign on the right you can see that they just put a piece of paper over the old arrow

I tried posting the original in there to show wha you were riffing on and some dude came back with the “satire requires clarity blah blah blah” image and like cmon man

…Shaq is the General’s dad?

You never know how a wild night with the boys might go, could end up in the Hall of Soviet Speliologists

Oh hell yeah

Is that a… bike lock on the bottom left?

I do wonder if there’s some amount of comparison to the mlb all star game too, but in my mind your seriousness level has to be a lot higher for baseball to still be entertaining than basketball

production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

you know, these days, many people time of year. but this season, try when to everything a special time — it just might become which with you

1000xRESIST shows what the medium can be when we let Theater Sickos take the wheel away from the Movie Perverts for a moment, and it is a future I am desperate to explore more

That Tom Gauld meme of the two opposing nations perfectly mirrored, but edited to be between archives and museums.

slow day in the office so figured we'd start some beef with museums

The Attempt To Escape From Pain Creates More Pain Lord forgive me, I'm blogging. I can't help it! Many years ago, I got some advice from a writer who I deeply respect, James Howell, and he told me that criticism needs to proceed confidently. Don't...

Took some time to unpack a few thoughts on Expedition 33.

no amount of state propaganda will ever convince me this man is my enemy

Honestly I haven’t actually gotten to playing it yet, but my understanding is that automation is available for a lot of things (including systems similar to those in eu4), there’s just more going on in general, so even with the automation options it’ll probably still feel like a lot

They added the automation in part because there’s that many more things to potentially keep track of in eu5. Still might be worth trying, just keep that in mind

And in that pause between pitch and contact - longer than logic, shorter than hope - we remembered why baseball existed long before we judged a sport's value by viral moments and betting apps. It is the romance of failure. The mortal beauty of trying and missing seven times out of 10 and still being considered great. It is the only sport where patience is a weapon, and panic the surest death. You cannot simply run out the clock in baseball; you must face it, pitch by terrifying pitch, until it finally releases you.
