Obscenely Tiny Shark

was reminded of that youtube channel that records footage of that bridge that scalps trucks today. one of the fascinating developments that's happened since i last heard about it is that, in one of their many attempts to stop the trucks from being can-opened, they installed a traffic light that detects when a vehicle that's over the allowed height is coming and turns red so the driver can stop and hopefully notice the signage all around that's screaming "YOUR VEHICLE IS OVERHEIGHT TURN AROUND" and avoid an accident. However as a result sometimes drivers see the light turning yellow and IMMEDIATELY start flooring it to avoid having to stop, ensuring that the roof of their truck just gets fucking annihilated instantly. Really beautiful stuff you should check it out

every time I see this post I've forgotten how clearly signposted the canopener bridge is, and every time it hits me like a truck (hitting the canopener bridge and getting the top of its trailer ripped asunder)

the thing about being bullied for being weird as a kid is that even if you've always embraced being weird your brain is still always looking for the line where it's too much. you can be as proudly and intentionally weird as you want and you can love being weird but your mind is still convinced there's a point where you get too weird and people start treating you like a weird looking bug again. also it feels like you reach that point 500 times a day even if everyone you've spoken to today found you pleasant and likable and even if you're completely alone in your house with nobody looking at you at all.

[recommending something i sincerely love] ok so the thing about it is it kinda sucks

the talking mickey segment was something genuinely deeply impressive to me, because it takes four people coordinating constantly, thinking on the fly, keeping in contact as subtly as possible, all to bring one character to life for one single interaction. it reminds me of why i love theatre so much–the creation of art is often a team effort, and the fact that they actually pulled it off more often than not is a testament to how drift compatible humans can be when they really care about a project. for every actor on stage, theres numerous crewmembers in the wings and booth keeping everything running, preparing costumes for quick changes, calling cues, searching for props, etc. and i love that part of humanity, doing all of this in order to bring art to a room full of people. kevin's point about human connection making things like that and the crush talk such magical experiences really is the core of it all. there's nothing quite like being in the same room as the people on (and off) stage as they all perform their roles. it's so electric.
