The economy is definitely on a downward trajectory, Herb LPs are at an all-time low down at the thrift store.

Listening to my nearly 99 year-old gramma on the phone congratulating her 20 year-old sophomore granddaughter on showing up to protest beneath snipers at @IUBloomington gives me so much hope. – at Pennsylvania, USA

I don't spend much time here anymore, but checking in to find all the racists and fascists and generally shitty people exactly where I left them, while all my train nerds have fled the scene is about as expected. Anyway, here's four photos of a giant orange restaurant in Montreal

Facebook: where people you’re no longer friends with post food photos so unsettling that they could be mistaken for sexts or crime scene evidence.

More American transit equipment needs to come equipped with ice cream truck music to announce its arrival. This is amazing. – at Indiana, USA
懐かしの名鉄電車。 7000系パノラマカー、7014号のミュージックホーンです。反対側の7013は音痴ですが、7014は未更新でも滑らかで綺麗な音色でした。この運転士さん、電笛〆が早過ぎですね。 #名鉄 #ミュージックホーン #7000系 #パノラマカー

Everyone knows my favorite animals (aside from the herd of cats, and the perfect dog) are possums, so this Mets-possum crossover storyline is basically the best thing about this young season. Enjoy this hilarious four minutes #LFGM
Last night, Gary and Ron shared the story of how they got moved out of the visiting television booth thanks to a possum 😂

Nobody was cooler than Al Jaffee, and MAD had quite a stable of talented, cool artists! Farewell to a huge part of my adolescence.
Al Jaffee, Mad magazine’s award-winning cartoonist and ageless wise guy who delighted millions of kids with the sneaky fun of the Fold-In and the snark of “Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions,” has died. He was 102. apnews.com/article/al-jafee-…
