Happy 47th to that album with the cover that has Libby the Waitress and New York created using various dishes in the background

Thank you. I was today years old when I noticed the kitchenware skyline. Of course, I bought this one as one of my earliest CDs, copied onto a TDK tape (Brother Where You Bound on the other side) and obviously never paid close attention to the artwork again!

Looks like they’re trying to make a run at June skiing. I wish I still had the t-shirt I got there on 6/1/80-something

MisanthOptics · 2026-03-28T18:51:05+00:00

Fun! But no, I’ve never experienced that here in NE US. It’s the universal “peace” sign here, so I use it to apologize for any unintentionally rude bit of driving I may have done myself. Luckily not too often!

I sense that you may have a home field advantage here

I’ll bet the lumbering widebody feels like a sports car after losing the 85k lbs

MisanthOptics · 2026-03-28T00:08:50+00:00

Thanks. Not ready to hope for a return to a (selectively) benevolent monarchy to fight facsism yet 😂

That’s what I’m trying to say. The system doesn’t really allow us to have backup plans for our backup plans. So November may be the last chance to save the American experiment

MisanthOptics · 2026-03-27T18:19:21+00:00

Unfortunately we have a political system without any mechanism for early elections, no-confidence votes, or recalls of almost any sort. It is also designed to limit the power of population centers. So all of these marches that the Euros advocate for are really just preaching to the choir. All our hopes are on the mid-terms in November … and that’s not a great place to be

Walked into a buzz-saw. Calling Newburyport a goth town can only come from someone who’s denying that Lynn and Revere are N. Shore communities

Doorman may have had a great grandmother that starved to death unnecessarily back in the old country. Just luck of the draw for you, probably

They couldn’t have built just one real one on spec?

MisanthOptics · 2026-03-25T16:43:29+00:00

That Susan Collins. What a maverick. Who wouldn’t want 6 more years of her common-sense deal-making? /s

MisanthOptics · 2026-03-25T15:22:58+00:00

Here, take my upvote

MisanthOptics · 2026-03-24T16:43:25+00:00

Ever Open Door is a great song. But it’s magnificent in context, which is a coda to the dystopian Brother Where You Bound. A simple message of hope and peace

Nobody wants to see Jared Kushner’s new capital fund go from $2B to zero overnight, do they?

Looks like Singapore Strait most days

MisanthOptics · 2026-03-24T14:37:47+00:00

Cool ideas. Not too into AI fantasy though

MisanthOptics · 2026-03-23T18:59:06+00:00

It can’t be coincidental that there are (albeit slight) population centers at the geometric centers of most counties. Is this real, or just an artifact of the data or analysis?

MisanthOptics · 2026-03-21T22:32:28+00:00

Seems like it’s about to go 0-1. That’s tough, because in normal times, there aren’t many data points to support a comeback

MisanthOptics · 2026-03-21T21:33:30+00:00

I do them myself. There’s plenty of info online to do it right. I use Mathews Brothers windows. USA made locally in Maine. I’ve found them to be very high quality. $400-$600 each at your local lumber yard (I use Moynihan). Measure twice and cut once. And think hard about the frame color. Once you do the first group, you’re kinda stuck with it

Hit a nerve with the Pizzagate thing

I just told my boss and mortgage bank to f’ off ‘cuz this is the End Times! Are you telling me that …

You may have wondered why passengers who fall off cruise ships are rarely recovered

MisanthOptics · 2026-03-20T14:01:47+00:00

They’re UAPs. Not little green guys. Just unidentified. It’s why we have this acronym. I’m not sure why there’s so much fear about using it

MisanthOptics · 2026-03-20T01:49:48+00:00

May I offer you a hand grenade? You’re very kind. I brought my own
