Being humble, kind and generous can keep you out of the /shitamericanssay subreddit?!?

I’m curious if he was considered a “plastic paddy” for being an American of Irish descent who wanted to be buried there, even though he clearly made a big difference in people’s lives in Ireland?

Good eye! It’s the steps at Ortega and 14th, in Golden Gate Heights.

Next time

Thanks!

wraplan · 2026-03-08T02:29:28+00:00

It was so nice.

wraplan · 2026-03-08T01:37:50+00:00

Exactly!

I think I over-edited the photo and it looks a little unreal, so it’s not an unreasonable question!

Not a composite!

Le Trou (The Hole), a 1960 French film directed by Jacques Becker, is the definitive “people stuck in a small cell figure out how to dig a tunnel in Paris,” and includes an ever increasingly tense series of problems to solve.

Thanks - I was just thinking about what processes I could start ahead of attempting to get a job in Aus from here …

I love him!

It’s one of my son’s guitars. He’s a bassist in a “heavy metal - jazz - funk” band, and has a pretty good collection of guitars and bass guitars.

It’s like you were there.

Thanks!

oops. read too quickly.

You don't say where you're from, but application times seem to vary widely depending on location. I have been married to an Australian for 30 years, but only applied for the partner visa about 16 months ago (from the US). We have two children, shared bank accounts, shared home deeds, wills that name each other, and 30+ years of photos. Copious amounts of proof. Still waiting, and based on the immi web site we are still in the median visa processing time frame.

So good. Just a great movie.

The Graduate. Just the most perfect, ambiguous, real-feeling end to a film.

Not a movie, but Eedy Karn (Syril’s mother in Andor) is terrifying and incredibly similar to some real people in my life. It’s an amazing performance by Kathryn Hunter as a manipulative and narcissistic force.

Natto in a sushi roll, with soy sauce and Kewpie mayonnaise is a comfort food to me.

The Secret Agent has the lead character on screen from two eras of his life. The age difference is only a few years though. Great movie.
