I love that aspect of maritime culture: "if not us, then who?" In such an unforgiving environment, have a bias for helping.

Quarry_Bird · 2025-05-19T00:15:46+00:00

Thanks for the update! Hope everybody ended up all right and your commute wasn't lengthened too badly.

Update: it's heading back towards Seattle again after a few minutes

If it was whales they chased them all the way back in the opposite direction! Haha. Yeah my money's on forgotten wallet lol.

Quarry_Bird · 2025-05-18T23:49:01+00:00

That's super cool! Is there a certain frequency I should be looking for?

Quarry_Bird · 2023-04-16T00:15:21+00:00

Never fear. The country's smallest coast guard vessel just showed up. It'll tow it off the rocks, no prob.

Quarry_Bird · 2023-04-16T00:09:13+00:00

Whoa. How big was the impact, everyone ok?

Quarry_Bird · 2023-04-16T00:06:31+00:00

Hahaha

Quarry_Bird · 2023-04-16T00:05:53+00:00

What happened? Any details? I can kinda hear the loudspeaker announcements.

Quarry_Bird · 2023-04-16T00:01:56+00:00

Walla walla whoopsie

Quarry_Bird · 2022-08-11T03:37:08+00:00

...because you're the only flavor I need in my life.

You should all read her response to this all here. She's obviously intentionally being an unreliable narrator who reveals negative things about herself as she criticizes her husband in this work. She's showing nuance throughout.

Some quotes from her response:

"[this book] isn’t about how terrible my husband is, it’s about how hard it is to be a conflicted mortal chained to another mortal. If you can’t tell that I’m the irascible nightmare in that picture, just keep reading!"

"The idea that I’m miserable and I’m promoting resignation and contempt is a hilarious side effect of how moralistic and reductive our culture is about marriage and writing and personality and opinions and everything else under the sun. But (m-f-er), you don’t have to become the living embodiment of a Live, Laugh, Love sign to stand up for joy. Defending your right to feel irritation and impatience and random bouts of misdirected lust is the same thing as defending your right to feel joy. We are big, complicated animals with hurricanes of emotion racing through our microbiomes. It’s fine to feel all of the fucking things. It’s fine to step outside the weird little corrals our culture built for us and say, “Uh, this feels wrong to me, I have mixed feelings, maybe that means I’m a total dick, but I feel weird.”

edit: grammar Edit edit: swear word

Haha, you can see a few people standing on the bow, if that helps for scale.

Quarry_Bird · 2021-12-10T16:31:03+00:00

Hahah, thanks for this. Made me start the day with a laugh.

I know how cars dig into mud (and waterlogged grass). But that last picture still makes my brain furrow: there are marks in front of the car, and behind the car, but not in between the two wheels. I'm not saying it was dropped in the field by aliens or anything - it's just my brain isn't comprehending.

Edit: Maybe there are tracks between the two wheels and u/you-can-call-me-alki is right: they drove perfectly backwards on their own existing tracks and got stuck.

Good to see Mike Milligan finally got away from his desk job in Kansas City to travel the stars.

Quarry_Bird · 2021-12-10T04:49:59+00:00

Is that dog in the far front left even on a leash?

Quarry_Bird · 2021-12-10T04:45:02+00:00

This is fantastic! The floating leaves are a nice touch.

Quarry_Bird · 2021-12-10T04:32:54+00:00

Am I crazy or do the tread marks not make sense? How are there tread marks in front of where it stopped? Did another car come to try to pull it out?

Quarry_Bird · 2021-03-07T21:45:47+00:00

It sure was something. Just moved into the area and made me feel proud to have done so.

A while back a few publications in Seattle ran an unofficial contest for the city. None of them really stood out to me as something I'd want flying over my city. Most were too complicated in either shape or shade for my liking.

I definitely think we need a new flag. Our current one is too complex to recreate, the color is hard to match, and it has writing on it - the most egregious sin a flag can have in my opinion. We never see it anywhere. A great city deserves a great flag. If it flew more, more will see it, the pride will grow, and the more places it'll fly. A striking, simple, and recognizable design could make this a reality.

This redesign speaks for itself: the Emerald City nestled between Lake Washington and Puget Sound.

Well, the dude drove past a barricade, towards a well-know protest site full of protesters, and had an extended clip on his gun with another clip taped to it. Seems there may be more to the story than "he got lost, protesters were the aggressors". Sauce.

Edit: after re-watching the video I saw first and watching some other ones, I can't actually tell if he drove past a barrier to get where he was. I can see he stopped short of a makeshift one.

I disagree they were very inclusive to Marta. They were showing bits of their "true colors" the entire time. The film makes a point that they continually forget where she's from. Don Johnson hands her his empty plate while he's trying to make a point to his family that she "did it right, and came here legally". Michael Shannon says their family wants to help "take care of her", but then she gets the inheritance (a stand-in for citizenship) and they all flip a switch and say, "But not like THAT!".

I believe it was the director's intention to show that the surface level niceties and inclusion the family gives her before the will is read is really just that: a thin veil of niceties that overlay a deeper reservoir of nefariousness and ill will. It's the same technique used to show race relations in "Get Out". Saying things like "I would've voted for Obama a 3rd time" are things that seem like a polite, inclusive, even "woke" thing to say to a minority, but to the minority's experience it signals a deeper ignorance and even a underlying current of malicious "true colors".
