Remember in Succession where they had one episode wrap up with Jeremy Strong staring out from a balcony at the Vessel?
That thing is fascinating.
There were three suicides in the space of a year so they closed it and someone was like should we put in rails or netting? and the answer was shut up.
And then they reopened it with no measures taken and almost immediately there was another suicide, a kid who was there, with his parents, and they were like okay we get it.
Remember how on the old site when you created a new topic it posted blank to the forum and people could post to it while you were still drafting your opening post.
Dang. My kiddo is sick sick. We're going to have to take her in.

This is how we were able to perfectly pull off posting “baby don’t hurt me” and “don’t hurt” and finally “no more” when stile once asked “what is love”
That’s not even how I’d kill myself because halfway down I’d be like well I guess I’m fucking pot committed to this huh?
Tell me
WHY IS THIS BOTTLE?
They put netting on the Golden Gate bridge (initially advocated by Jim Jones) and honestly I think it looks fine.

No half measures.
There was a documentary about the Golden Gate bridge suicides, including survivors, all of whom described changing their minds on the way down, and it's like, okay, sample bias, but the whole film was just so morose and bleak and trudging. I almost didn't finish it.
I did an engineering inspection of The Vessel before Hudson Yards opened. When it did open people started jumping immediately. I think maybe it was the shininess of it.
I can't rule out that design can have demonic effects on people.
I wonder what the most outlandish thing I believe might be.
you married a real life lego guy? whats his, uh, you know…
I gotta get packing sometime because guess where I'll be at 4AM tomorrow. The Airport!
The Eucharist probably.
... it's up there.
ER waiting rooms are something else
I hope your kiddo is ok. Waiting in the ER is wild sometimes. My daughter had some compression fractures in her spine and we waited for like 4 hours. Then she had a wrist problem after falling while ice skating and it took like 20 minutes. You just never know.
oof, i feel that. wasted half a day there about a month ago
hope shes okay
It's weird how you know your kid is sick before they even say anything. Like you can just look at them and be like, "oh no". My daughter is "sick" about once a week from school. She's not really. She "has a headache" or "my tummy hurts". Whatever, she gets straight A's so I'll let it slide.
My son gets sick maybe once a year or so. If my son says he's not feeling well, it's time to batten down the hatches and make peace with your maker because shit is about to get real bad and we all might die.
The last time he didn't feel well I think I almost died over Christmas. I was sick for like 4 weeks.

The Midwestern "I'm here, ain't I."
He is his father's son. Doesn't want to make waves.
I'm kind of annoyed at hearing the mall of America has good parking.
I was shocked at the red and green light thing. That should be in every parking ramp.
Superb Owl in a bit. Kinda want Sam Darnold to throw down and win big.
I got a new library card today that has Prince on it.
The librarian said when they unveiled the design, the library had a rush of people coming in for one, and people from out of state kept calling to ask if they could have one.
Went to Monster Jam today
and they had this "red light/green light" dancing bit
where the audience is supposed to dance when it's green and stop when it's red
and the mascot of the whole thing was a dancing Boston Dynamics robot dog
and it felt 1000% like a psyop. I was flabbergasted.
Ely wanted to make queso for the game. Like, trashy queso.
So we got Velveeta, a brick of cream cheese, diced green chiles, pickled jalapeños, but instead of like Rotel or Pace she got Mrs Renfro's ghost pepper salsa.
I was like, hon, nobody who makes Velveeta queso is putting ghost peppers in it and she just snapped "Let me be me" so that's what we're doing.

Cyberpunk: Fever Dream
It was pretty fun otherwise.
US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis is insane.
Mrs. Renfroe was a real one.
The José Olé taquitos were my idea, so we both got our hits in.

It really is. I've been there a few times for work. Was on site when it was being built a few times. It's impressive when you go there, but being on the insides, in the bowels of it, the mechanical side is just insane.
Holy shit, Joe Montana might be like 120 years old. I guess that means I'm old too.

She knows what she's doing.
Better after an IV and anti-nausea medication. She hadn't kept anything down since yesterday, and fainted today and couldn't stop heaving. We're home.
OOf that's not fun. Been there.
That's good.
Sounds like it's time for [flips through childhood notes] a can of Sprite and Homeward Bound (1993) on VHS.
She has ginger ale, chicken noodle, saltines, and the super bowl.
I can't stop vomiting unless I see Bob Barker on TV.
Is there a geographical divide between ginger ale when sick and 7-up/sprite when sick households
