  1. If you're on the Book of Faces and want to get a really good look at how squirrely 410 sprint cars are to drive, watch this reel. It is onboard from a "non-wing" USAC car, so they jump around more than the winged cars.

    I laugh when I see teenagers souping up their Subarus so they can "drift" in urban intersections while other stoned kids hang off the car.

    You want drifting? Try 900 HP with direct drive to the rear wheels on a dirt track full of ruts. #HangOn #TurnLeft

  2. A quotation from D. C. Fontana

       KIRK: Charlie, there are a million things in this universe you can have and there are a million things you can’t have. It’s no fun facing that, but that’s the way things are.
       CHARLIE: Then what am I going to do?
       KIRK: Hang on tight and survive. Everybody does.
       CHARLIE: You don’t.
       KIRK: Everybody, Charlie. Me, too.

    Dorothy Catherine "D. C." Fontana (1939-2019) television screenwriter, story editor
    Star Trek, 2×02 “Charlie X” [Prod. 08] (1966-09-15) [with Gene Roddenberry]

  3. After a few hours of reflection I realize that "Hang on to your asses, comrades. And learn to whittle" actually works as pretty good general advice for this wild handbasket ride we're all signed up for.

  4. youtube.com/watch?v=89rQKVYOcc I know how excellent Jeremy Parish’s video game history content is but I never explored his YT content oddly. Over the past week I’ve kind of become obsessed. #SEGA #SG1000 #HangOn #Outrun I’d love a VR version of either Hang On or Outrun…

  5. @chaoticmitzvah I’m not a widow, but I’m sending love & comfort & hoping you find someone to talk to. #HangOn

    I wish more people had seen and boosted your toot.
    Thank you for being the type of person who cares enough to let others know that they were people like you in the world.

    The more this toot (and its precious messages are shared), on Mastodon and anywhere else (whether online or off-line), the greater the likelihood that people who need it will see it and benefit from it. EVERYBODY NEEDS IT. Everybody.
    Namaste.

  7. It's hard being the only person on a packed bus careening out of control and listening to every other passenger saying

    -It's okay, the driver will get us back on the road.
    -I'm praying to an imaginary being who will save us from crashing.
    -Don't worry, there's a tech person on board who will figure it out.
    -If we all hold hands and sing kumbaya, we won't crash.
    -Wait until the next election and we'll vote in a new driver.

    Nope.
    We're crashing.

  8. Received word that we are moving all instruction to online/hybrid/flexible until at least after Easter break. It will be an interesting coming week as we try and ramp this up.
