It still is strange as hell to me that there are drive through liquor stores in some states.

That’d be like drive thru pot stores here in WA. Seems like it’d encourage drinking while driving.

I’ve been reading it little by little as a bathroom book, and it’s really great. It strikes a perfect balance between serious academic writing and “Gee-Wiz!” engagement.

Not a name I associate with beauty products:

The tints are totally named something like Azathoth, Concealer of Cosmic Horror, or Batrachian Blue, Colour of the Coveted Innsmouth Look, right?

Aurora fucking Borealis? No. Just no. I’m not having it.

Needs a banana for scale/perspective. This tenacious Cedar tree is on a cliff ledge of lake St. Nora in Ontario, looking mostly dead but still able to produce some foliage to survive. The root on the right side in the rocks is about 5inches thick while the main trunk is about 7-8 inches.

Last week I brought my wife a take-out margarita (from No. VA). Until Covid, I’d thought that was only allowed in New Orleans.


I am wondering how long this cone's been around. The phone company here hasn't been "Bell" for just over 20 years:

If it’s like many other places, the state or your local government changed the rules to help out restaurants that do a lot of business selling alcohol.
