Honestly criminal that the same country that invented the chip butty keeps recreational marijuana illegal

This is about 200 years off to me. Willamsburgh was over when it was incorporated within the town of Bushwick in the 1820’s

This feels about 10 years off to me. It was over by 2005.

Much "new masculinity" discourse turns on a cultural androgyny that tacitly elevates (stereotypical) female friendship norms as the universal (and only) way to have a "healthy" friendship. This ignores the fact that men and women's friendship structures tend to differ. 4/

@mstokes1981 Astoria locals have been shooting down a subway connection to LGA since the 40’s, it’s criminal that the Q70 is the only transit connection. I’d rather fly to Newark

Sometimes golden doodles (it’s almost always golden doodles) have very very human eyes, like sad old man eyes, and they just look at you and it freaks me the hell out

Because many people have been asking us about it: Our favorite states from the trip were Tennessee, Alabama, and Texas. Our favorite town was Fairhope, Alabama, and our favorite food spot was Taco Bell.

I always enjoy photos of inside Buckingham Palace. Look at the kip of the carpets and the random collection of mad shite they always have lying about. An idiots idea of a fancy room. Place is a dump.

Evidence for my theory that China is Rock City (Chattanooga) of the future

[Sixth Tone @SixthTone]

China’s tourist sites now increasingly feature cheap, garish objects like plastic flowers and oversized plush toys crammed into natural landscapes and on centuries-old temple eaves. Rustic towns by day have become neon nightmares by night. Million-year-old stalactites drenched in rainbow lights have been reduced to gaudy karaoke sets.

Chinese travelers are noticing the tacky trend — and they’re not happy. In April, netizens slammed a cheap, plastic, multicolored heart sculpture amid the salt lakes and snow-capped mountains of the country’s northwestern Qinghai province as an “eyesore.”

The scenic area responded that they had had it professionally designed because they believed some visitors wanted more photo spots to “check in,” or daka, a phenomenon in which tourists mark where they’ve been by taking and posting photos of themselves at a location.

But travelers were not appeased. The heart sculpture set off a wave of online backlash toward tasteless tourist spots, with a top comment on WeChat reading, “Our Eastern aesthetics are almost disappearing in front of these cookie-cutter influencer-style tourist spots. It’s really disrespectful to the aesthetics of our ancestors.”

One thing that has made me kind of sad about the midwest is that all the mom and pop kind of farm stands/tourist traps are totally riddled with ugly, samey looking AI art for all their branding and signage. I feel like we're losing a whole aesthetic here
