@citynightcap @HistoryUnd Check the kid holding an object that has the appearance of a handgun.

@HistoryUnd With?

JFK, talking to everyday Americans (1960).

Sadly, Mr. Phillips is lying. When God teleports you to a Waffle House in America's Georgia it's always the one on Memorial Dr. @ Candler Rd. in DeKalb Co., which, not coincidentally, is Robert Ritchie's favorite.

@MrChuckD @LadePlatinum I wear an A’s cap for Reggie Jackson & Ricky Henderson.

@LadePlatinum Give credit to the Yankees cap way later in the game… which I refused to wear for various 90s reasons…

it was this but Jay took the credit

It’s so exciting to get new equipment! This bad boy will crank out 310lbs of ice a day, doubling our capacity. No more ice runs when it’s hot.

@davidclowery @nikutaberuru My Fender P-bass is a “JV” a Japanese made reproduction of a 50s model made in ‘83. It’s made from Japanese Ash wood, just like NPB bats. Love the tone & the look.

@nikutaberuru In recent decades the Japanese made Fenders have become desirable. Yamaha keyboards of course. Some of us are Ibanez fans. My main guitar for many years was the Ibanez Jet King 1. I own 6.

親愛なるアメリカ兄貴たち 日本ではアメリカ製の楽器が 熱狂的に愛されています。 アメリカには日本製の楽器を 愛している人達はいるでしょうか？

@citynightcap @andyps1275 The Ferrari is hot. I even like that oddball Fiat…

@andyps1275 Camargue and 412 are my two favorite designs ever.

Which variant of the Pininfarina design was best, Rolls Royce, Fiat or Ferrari?

@davidclowery I roll with the alt. translation from one of the replies, “weird in a good way.”

Japanese musician Twitter. Thoughts?

@conorsen @daveweigel She can’t win state wide, would have lost re-election as mayor.

This is nominally the Dem frontrunner for GA governor but has to be running one of the weakest campaigns in the country.

@rachelRACH10 @jaysbookman 💯💯💯💯

Keisha Lance Bottoms will never win a statewide election. Stop this madness.

Looks like Duck Tape is back on the block. I don’t think he takes kindly to livestock theft. Mr. Crockett best not do his rustling in DeKalb County!

@citynightcap @BoylanRoger The Citroen DS Pallas, amazing design.

@BoylanRoger Opening his own door, a regular car well ok a FRENCH regular car, no umbrella, and white tie. All he needs is a gitane.

Prime Minister, soon to be President, Georges Pompidou in Paris, 1969.

@JoshLipnik Cleveland has some beautiful architecture. I enjoyed living there.

If you’re in Sandusky come see me at the library this afternoon

@davidclowery The Ga. Supreme Court chided a lawyer during an oral argument, an ADA from a metro county, last week for drafting an order that seemingly included hallucinated case citations. ajc.com/news/2026/03/c… This is the worst I've seen so far, an appeal of a murder conviction.

Imagine your employees using AI for something mission critical. This AM I asked this AI (Claude Opus) for help finding the closest Ham Radio POTA that I have not activated. I provided .CSV file of parks I activated and the list of all POTA parks. I noticed it gave me a park/wma that i'd never heard of. Nor could I find it on the State list of WMA. It took 5 interrogations for the AI to admit it had made it up. Its less concerning it made it up, and more concerning that it kept covering up that it had hallucinated. AI is a bubble. It's revenue is based on top down implementaion by idiot CEOs.

@davidclowery I used AI to update coffeeshop’s bookkeeping (I’m a recovering English Major). It did a great job. The inputs are easier & I get much, much better data out. My former system was like a Pynchon novel.

Reply of the month.

@citynightcap @grumpytradesman Yes, ticks in New England, mosquitoes even in the sub-tropical upper South.

@grumpytradesman Mosquitoes. Ticks.

All lies. The most dangerous animal in EVERY state are humans.

@davidclowery Camper Van Beethoven & Psilocybin created intersecting synergies for the FM radio involved. I have this on high authority.

Camper Van Beethoven? Our future A&R guy couldn't quite convince the bosses at the label to sign us, but coincidentally the two top radio promo guys accidentally went to a Camper Van Beethoven show on mushrooms. We were playing in this decrepit downtown LA theatre. We had The Whitefronts playing horns with us. They had painted themselves white with body paint they found backstage and posed motionless on the stack of speakers. The crowd thought they were mannequins. When we hit the first stop they stood up and played the guitar riff on horns. The two radio guys had their mnds blown. They sided with the AR guy and we were shortly thereafter signed to Virgin US.
