My Fury Road War Rig…

Good time to remind everyone that Arlington refuses to join DART or bring public transit to its city. Plano just tried to pull out of it and the nearest rail station to the new Mavs site is 3 miles away. This is what @dallasmavs and @DallasStars fans can look forward to in a few years.

This is a map on why video games take up 5x the space they did 15 years ago just to look *slightly* more detailed.

imagine drunk driving the dragon walker

There’s still gas in the tank to hit 100m and it’s definitely worth at least one theater watch.

SHE IN THE CLUB WIT US

ok this is INSANE 😭 recently a lab technician at Cornell didn’t want to pay for parking so she walked through a cemetery to get to work. one day she noticed bees everywhere. brought a jar of them to her boss. turns out there are 5.5 MILLION bees living underground beneath that cemetery. one of the largest aggregations ever recorded. more than 200 honeybee hives worth. three times the population of Manhattan. they’ve been there since at least 1935. possibly over 100 years. one of the most insane discoveries in pollinator biology happened because a grad student didn’t want to pay for parking 😭

This movie was so fun to watch. People need to go see it and not let it get the Transformers One treatment.

here i present a very well-parked car

This looks like a Disney movie where a 12 year old becomes president

This picture is honestly hilarious because they assume this is some American staple and I've not only never eaten this, but I've never seen this in stores or even met a fellow American that has. The only reason I know it exists are Europeans telling me on social media we eat it.

What if you were a werewolf but for Moss A lichenthrope, you might say

I have some very sad news to report: Dr. T. Lindsay Baker, dean of Texas historians, was killed in a car crash on Route 66 in Arizona on Thursday. He died Thursday morning in an accident on Interstate 40 near Flagstaff while participating in the Route 66 Centennial Caravan as a Texas representative. Dr. Baker was driving his beloved 1930 Ford Model A “woody” station wagon in the caravan. He’d driven the vehicle on Route 66 several times. Bart Graves, media relations specialist for the Arizona Department of Public Safety, stated in an email that the two-vehicle accident occurred on eastbound I-40 at a.m. “A motorhome was traveling behind another uninvolved motor vehicle when the vehicle in front changed lanes abruptly to avoid colliding with another vehicle, which was an antique passenger car. “The motorhome was unable to take evasive action and collided with the rear of the antique vehicle, causing it to run off the roadway and roll over. The driver and sole occupant in the antique vehicle sustained fatal injuries and declared deceased on scene.” Oklahoma Route 66 Association President Rhys Martin wrote this: "To say I am devastated is a massive understatement. T Lindsay radiated joy. He was always smiling and keenly interested in what you had to say. Last night, our rooms were next to each other and I returned from dinner (exhausted) to find this note. I thought about it for a moment, then knocked on his door. We had a lovely half-hour conversation about a variety of things that I won’t go into now, but it was mostly him giving me council and support. That’s who he was: he built up those around him. Time with T Lindsay was time uplifted. Everything that T Lindsay did was intentional. The words he used, the points he made, the car he drove. He used every tool available to him to tell a story he felt was important. He was doing exactly what he wanted to do, the way he wanted to do it, and was surrounded by people that shared his joy. I am a better man for knowing Dr. Baker; we will not see his like again." I never met Dr. Baker, but I did speak with him on the phone in 2016. He was so enthusiastic. I heard joy in his voice. He was truly a beacon of wisdom and encouragement. I said that I would stop and visit with him when I drove through Stephenville, where he held the W. K. Gordon Chair in Industrial History. I never did. To say that this is a crushing blow for Texas is an understatement. Dr. Baker wrote about all aspects of Texas history. His many books are monumental contributions to Texas history. How diverse was he? Check out the titles of some of his books: A Field Guide to American Windmills Lighthouses of Texas Ghost Towns of Texas More Ghost Towns of Texas Adobe Walls: The History and Archaeology of the 1874 Trading Post The First Polish Americans: Silesian Settlements In Texas Gangster Tour of Texas (this is a really neat book that presents detailed maps, photographs of criminals, victims, and law officers, and pictures of the crime scenes as they appear today, as taken by Dr. Baker) Eating up Route 66: Foodways on America's Mother Road Texas Stories I Like to Tell My Friends Blades in the Sky: Windmilling through the Eyes of B. H. "Tex" Burdick Portrait of Route 66: Images from the Curt Teich Postcard Archives I own all of these except the last one. Needless to say, his books have informed so many of my posts here on Traces of Texas over the years. I never write about a ghost town without first consulting his ghost town books, for example. It's just a dang shame. What a loss for Texas. Dr. Baker was 79 years old. RIP Dr. T. Lindsay Baker! Photo of Dr. Baker with his car courtesy the Old Route 66 Historical Association.

He gets the job done.

Disappointing for sure, but again Amazon has already expressed that they consider this film a success because of fan reaction alone and anticipates an even greater success with the streaming numbers when it hits Amazon Prime. Not to mention how much merch they’ve sold out.

Currently doing one of my deepest exposures yet and couldn't resist sharing a sneak peek. This is part of a supernova shockwave as it rips through interstellar space. I haven't even touched the saturation slider- this area is so dynamic it naturally has strong color separation

Its been 2 years and i still dont know wtf i saw
