What rolls down stairs alone or in pairs, rolls over your neighbor's dog? What's great for a snack and fits on your back?

Everyone was mad at me for this joke but then the next day the Pennsylvania Supreme Court politely asked their Soros DA to stop lying to courts in his ongoing effort to free as many convicted murderers as possible.

I think we've failed as a society to fully educate our Theater Kids how fucking tired we are of their bullshit

"Men who prioritize fatherhood may lose some sleep, gain some extra weight & enjoy less free time, but they can also discover a richer life with greater meaning, purpose & connection. And when it comes to brain health and mental fitness, becoming a father is one of the best things you can do." https://t.co/ddL9y5Ncci

Really a great book

[Possum Reviews @ReviewsPossum]

Last night, I read the entirety of C.S. Lewis' The Screwtape Letters. It's a novel told in the form of letters written by a demon to another demon instructing him on ways to manipulate his "patient" to do evil.

This one quote sounded familiar.

There is no way this Talarico mailer could be real. It's as if Tobias Fünke ran for Senate in Texas.

This guy is too nice to the video he’s picking apart. That guy quoting the Guardian out of context is a useful idiot trying to thwart progress

Those magnificent structures on the top were all over America in the 90s thanks to volunteers.

Almost no one knows the name Bob Leathers but they should.

He grew up in Maine, studied architecture at Rhode Island School of Design, and landed in Ithaca raising kids. In 1970 his children's elementary school needed a playground. He organized the parents to build one. That weekend reorganized the rest of his life.

He founded Leathers and Associates a few years later. The product was a four-day community build. The town raised the money, the kids drew the design, and 500 to 2,000 volunteers showed up with hammers and built the entire castle.

Materials cost $10,000 to $60,000. Donated labor was worth multiples of that. The Washington Post called it a "burgeoning movement" in 1982. Mister Rogers filmed an episode at one of his builds in 1986. Sesame Street did the same. The Chicago Tribune called him "the guru of contemporary playground design" in 1989.

His firm coordinated more than 3,400 playgrounds across the United States, Israel, and Australia. An entire generation of American kids climbed turrets, crossed rope bridges, and disappeared into wooden tunnels designed by a guy in upstate New York who took his cues from their drawings.

He never franchised the model. He never sold the firm. His son Marc runs it today, still in Ithaca, still doing community builds.

The bottom picture is what the market built when nobody was there to organize the volunteers.
