liz, on the concourse of a train station. she’s giving a small krispy kreme donut counter some serious side-eye.

the inside of a crowded paris metro train. some idiot has brought a small wooden side table—it looks nice, actually, i understand why they grabbed it—onto the train when it’s very crowded. it’s blocking the door area, in fact.

at a very early stage of dusk, the road outside of paris gare du nord. old buildings! a big plaza! people smoking before their train! it looks french! one of the stores ok the ground floor of the building is, of course, a mcdonald‘s. american corporate imperialism is inescapable. un big mac, &c. &c.,

it’s pretty as hell out here though.

liz, with some retired london transport signage. there’s an “Elizabeth line” route sign pointing at her.

the door plate on a piccadilly line train: “METRO-CAMMELL - ENGLAND 1973”

more silly little microcars. there’s a light green one and a red one and a mirror to make it look like there’s more

a Microlino store: chock full of small two-seater EVs shaped like an old Isetta microcar

liz, with a shorter bob than she had an hour ago

I think this is total bullshit! Small cars are great if you're single but not so much if you have kids. It's impossible to fit a family let alone a dog or luggage into a small car.

an early-aughts B5.5 volkswagen passat, with a generic “SECURITY” decal on the rear door. the hood is up, and the valve cover is missing. so is part of the air box.

After the loss of Vice President and Democratic nominee Kamala Harris and running mate Minnesota governor Tim Walz in the 2024 United States presidential election, news outlets reported that Harrison did not plan to run for another term for DNC Chair in 2025. During Harrison's tenure as chair of the DNC, the Democratic Party had a net loss of three seats in the United States Senate (out of 100), seven seats in the House of Representatives (out of 435), and the presidency.

liz, in cal anderson park. she’s wearing a corduroy dad cap that says “ICE CREAM” on it.

the morning’s red sox update from boxscore.email. sox continue to be at the bottom of the AL East, with a .411 record and a miserable 15.5 games behind the damn yankees.

despite this, last night they beat the mariners 6-2 in seattle. what the fuck, man

old print ad for the IBM Selectric typewriter:

All these personalities for just one typewriter.
Reason: the IBM Selectric® Typewriter uses an ingenious printing element.
Ingenious because it's interchange-able. Just think. Now you can change type faces in only 5 seconds. Simply remove one printing element and click another into place.
Use one style for business letters.
Another for reports. Still another for documents. Choose from more than a dozen different type styles.
Other typewriters are content with only one personality.
The IBM® Selectric has thirteen.
So far.

Liz: well, yes
Liz: but she's 68 years old
maya ventura: and you're going on 50, so what

an amtrak train, with a new airo cascades trainset, along the waters of puget sound

the train is much closer now. liz forgot to tilt the camera down enough bc the train was approaching, so it's clipped from right below the bottom of the lead locomotive's windshield.

still at carkeek taking photographs of the Empire Builder heading for seattle, like the first post, but the train's much closer to the beach now. my scanner's also found the frame lines properly this time around.

since the train's closer, you can tell that it isn't a normal Empire Builder. the first full trainset of new Cascades coaches is in between the locomotives and the regular traincars.

a view from carkeek park beach, looking north at the BNSF tracks. there's an amtrak train heading southbound towards seattle in the distance. my film scanner has failed to properly locate the frame lines between each shot, so there's a big ol' black bar at the edge of it and the first little bit of the next frame is visible
