March 27, 2025 view of the early-20th-century express train to of from Key West
  • Having just read a book about how Henry Flagler made the 'Railroad Over the Ocean' to Key West happen, here's three stunning views of the Overseas Highway, both old and new; 1 - 2 - 3 and a three-minute drone-view of what remains of the first highway, where they built it on top of the original Bahai Honda railroad bridge.

  • At Curbside Classics, clipping illegal mufflers and lights in 1952, Where I learn of fart can exhaust systems and cats-eye headlight covers. The thoughtless; the selfish, and the attention-starved tampered with their vehicles in unsafe, antisocial ways seventy-one years ago, as they still do now.

  • We saw one of these AI videos back in October but I guess that was specific to the TV show. Rosie's much nicer in this one, and it has Astro, too -‌- 1950's Super Panavision 70, The Jetsons. See also their take on Game Of Thrones.

  • Wikipedia: the Sinatra Doctrine was a Soviet foreign policy under Mikhail Gorbachev allowing member states of the Warsaw Pact to determine their own domestic affairs.

  • And in the Washington Post, Fashion designers used to be custodians for beauty. What happened? These are ugly times, according to Rachel Tashjian, but that makes a show like Prada at Milan Fashion Week, with its deliberate awkwardness, so powerful. More critically, though, these are æsthetically agnostic times...Everything looks like a mess -‌- hair, graphic design, visual art, red-carpet looks. In fashion, too many designers are doing things just to be weird, or 'avant garde'.
