History lessons from 'The Gray Lady'
For my birthday, the California kids sent me a handsome coffee-table book featuring replicas of every NYT front-page published on March 14 from 1949 through 2023.
(Incidentally, the March 14, 1949 one included no mention of my birth. It did, however, feature a prominent story about Arab-Israeli conflict.)
The bottom photo here shows the front page from 1998 - the first March 14 that included color. This was a big deal in journalism circles because the Times was famous for its deliberate lack of color, which was part of its conservative approach to newspapering.
The paper wasn't known as "The Gray Lady" for nothing.
I'll have fun with this.

My grandmother is Japanese and really likes to give gifts. Often those gifts are Japanese desserts or other food, but sometimes she just slips me cash, folded up inside a tiny, beautiful envelope. But she likes to pretend she's not giving me money, so when possible, she'll hide it somewhere that I will find later.
Today I spent the afternoon with her doing chores and tech support, and she clearly felt this warranted a significant gift in return (no matter that I enjoyed myself). But she forgot to slip something into my pocket or bag before I left, so instead she rushed outside as I was starting my car, making the old-school "roll down the window" gesture. Once I complied, she was forced to acknowledge she was handing me money, but she also tried to minimize the gesture.
The result was that she said, "Thank you, dear! I just wanted you to be able to... to buy yourself a hamburger," and then handed me a darling little envelope that turned out to contain $100. And all I could think was:
#we live in california and even here that's a lot of hamburger#do kids these days still know the old signal for#roll down the window#?#do they still use it?#it does have the advantage of being distinctive#in a way that holding down an imaginary button does not#toasty life#the value of a hamburger#memes#it's one banana michael#op#50#100#500#1K#5K#10K

Thinking about wymack trying to break the news to the rookie kid about their problems with the japanese mafia without scaring him off the team only for the rookie kid to have his very own ties to a different but related gang is too fucking funny to me
#wymack: okay kid I’m gonna be straight with you and I need you to not freak out about it. *deep breath* okay here goes#wymack: the moriyamas are yakuza and the ravens are moving into our district to get kevin to come back to the nest#neil son of the baltimore butcher: hmm. I see#neil in his head: if my mother weren’t already burnt to a crisp underneath a california beach she’d beat my fucking ass rn#wymack during the binghampton riot when kevin reveals neil’s true identity: hmm. I see#wymack in his head: so that’s why he reacted like that#neil josten#david wymack#aftg#tfc

Tejas challenged Alta California to a race, thinking he would win it handily. Instead, he got more than he bargained for with Alta’s secretly badass riding skills. 😘
I’ve been listening to a lot of old cowboy songs (as one does while playing unhealthy amounts of the updated version of “Oregon Trail” on their Switch) and it’s giving me historic/Wild West Texacali brainrot. (But what else is new?)
Details under the cut
Headcanon time: Cali could still probably win in any horse race if he wanted to. It’s still in there, somewhere.
Song related:
#guess who never had a horse drawing phase as a kid 😅#THIS GIRL#I cannot fucking draw horses 😂😂#mur art#wttt california#wttt#welcome to the table#wttt texas#wttt texacali#welcome to the statehouse#wttt fanart#mur being the least cool person in the room once again#Spotify

I know we all want an og monster hunting trio revival in s5 but consider the following instead:
It's giving The boys are back in town, the boys of summer, The boys are back. A little mansplain, manipulate, malewife. Very much introducing your new bestie to the one that got away and them hitting it off.
#this is a dream I've had since lunch and im not giving up now#i think this dynamic would be SO FUN#in the middle of the apocalypse#steve (judging) : so you spent the whole time in California High#Jonathan (pissed) : so you told my girlfriend you want her to have six kids#Argyle (vibing) : so you guys need to chill out#i know it won't happen but a girl can dream#Jonathan needs some yellow her with the team babe#stranger things#jonathan byers#steve harrington#Argyle#jargyle#stonathan#stargyle#the trio needs a nickname#we should work on that#tell your boyfriend if he says he got beef that I'm a vegetarian and i ain't fucking scared of him#meanwhile Nancy and Robin are like WTF is wrong with y'all
