God oh God when ever will the high horse sitters who complain about bat flips and celebrations in baseball stop and remember that you “play” a “game” of baseball, you don’t work a shift of baseball.

Become involved in local politics. Hold your representatives accountable for their terrible behavior, even when they are “on our side”, vote, really vote, but do it from a perspective of social welfare and not fear

Wurbren Gondian’s rant when you reach his crew in Baldur’s Gate is scintillating, sounds prescient considering how things are now, but it’s a man who sees fascism coming to his city, and is pissed off that the status quo let them walk in.

Benicio Del Toro and Dustin Diamond made their first film appearance in the same movie

Ha just realized that my own current “great” “band” name I came up with a decade ago is just a mash of 2 of my favorite band names: Wire, obviously a name I love but too short; and Crime and the City Solution, a name I love but too long. Chop chop you have a two word name that’s cool and mysterious.

Sorry not sorry but if your idea of political discourse is to resort to calling people “pussies”, I don’t even know where to start, because first we have to convince you that it’s a dumb thing to use the word pussy in a negative way

I follow the Mets and the Knicks because I am a Hope Junkie

Everyone has different ideas of what success and progress means. Despite years of terribly shaky hands I set the intention earlier this summer to be good at rolling joints from scratch. An ignoble goal but nonetheless, a very difficult thing for me to do. My first attempts were pathetic.

Jane Goodall is one of the greatest of all time. She accomplished so much in her field, despite being blocked by the boys club nearly her entire career. She made scientific discoveries other people thought weren’t even possible. Incredible person, the world is a lesser place.

The night of long knives turned out to be the afternoon of short cocks

I am sorry god emperor trump I love you please do not invade newark or kill any of my friends or family I swear fealty to you and promise to birth no more brown eyed children lest we be removed from the emperors grand gene pool

This is how the fascists get the civil war two electric boogaloo they have wanted for so so long, you invade an American city, you fire the first shot, you blame the other side, now you have carte blanche to terrorize and kill your political enemies using the military against them

This week: Baseball good Mets bad Baseball bad again

Two plus years of sobriety have taught me that I was a fucking moron

Me: I smoke weed because it’s good for my adhd People who drink literal poison all of the time to repress memories and avoid their feelings: I don’t know if that’s a good idea I had a gummy once and it felt like I was wearing a hoodie I couldn’t take off.

I went into GABBY’S DOLLHOUSE: THE MOVIE stoned to the gills and praise the gods, it was a 90 minute rainbow dream with dozens of minutes of Kristen Wiig chewing up a single room set, acting to nobody but a cat, in rich earth tone leather and pink hair

Skubal finished with a 0.8908 WHIP on the season, good for 56th ALL TIME, a career best, and his third season in a row with sub-1.000 WHIP. Insane. This is peak Kershaw and Sherzer territory.

Episode VI: Return of the Pee Tapes was not on my roster for the 2025 postseason but here we are

Ok that’s it. I’m getting a practice net and working on my knuckleball. Someone has to become RA Dickey and save this team.

The Mets

In the sentiment of conservatives I know: their feelings do not care about your facts

Gross surveillance state you got there let me improve it

Making a band called Dealy Stan plays only Steely Dan covers through the absolute shittiest pawn store gear

Re: abelism People of my generation (X or millennial depending on your definition) are blind to casual ableism in the same way our boomer parents are blind to casual racism.

Eric Adams has resigned to pursue his true passion: bribery.

Posse Comitatus

Wife and I are about to go all in on a nascent small biz idea very excited watch our local flea markets

The world has been on the brink of a nuclear holocaust for 60 years running, I’ve known nothing but war my entire life, but only from the perspective of being on the side that commits the atrocities powerless to do anything to change it,

All “facts don’t care about your feelings” means is that we’ve created at least two or three generations of people who don’t understand what their feelings even are because their entire identity is structured around things that they’ve watched on television or in

Really cool to have a clown who is not in touch with his feelings wield the power to invade cities with the federal army because someone spilled his milk

NYT sending me a notice about a rate increase reminded me that I somehow still paid for the slop

Stealing this joke about the very real Riyadh Comedy Festival because it is too good: I can’t wait to hear Louis CK’s bit about where to find the Best Wank in the West Bank.

Starting a new podcast called “Please Shoot This Socialist” where I create the conditions for someone to shoot me so I can become a martyr and have highways named after me like that other dead podcaster

Might move to a country without an inhumane desire for free labor

Learned yesterday that Wolf Parade’s brilliant “It’s a Curse” is about growing up in a poor, isolated town, nothing to do other than get wasted and beat the shit out of each other, living in the constant cloud of random violence. Pretty good summary of where I grew up.

If only we hung every Confederate officer in plain view of the public after the war was over none of this would be happening. Imagine a world with 150+ years of a powerful nation that took a definitive stand against racism, inhumanity, slavery, and made it dead certain it was unacceptable.

Murdering children in the thousands, not a crime Throwing food, a hate crime apnews.com/article/syra...

One of the reasons I’m not particularly keen to gig anytime soon is talking to people afterwards who think telling me stuff about how it “sounded” is helpful somehow Oh, thank you so much for telling me that you couldn’t hear me during leads because in fact I wasn’t even playing any

The Kimmel stuff wasn’t a distraction, nor was it a blunder. It was a test. Authoritarians can now do an illegal thing, and in the time it takes for a federal ruling use their relationships with tech companies (Meta, et al) to gauge sentiment to the activity. They got the data they needed.

The Tylenol business is for a few reasons - to tear down and blame women - to minimize and erase the real causes of autism - to make “autistic people” easy to identify - for the makers of Tylenol to benefit from the sudden neoliberal rush to save their favorite corporation

Very disappointed in the lack of fisher lives matter and logger lives matter movements from conservative blowhards

Pre rolled joints are nice and fat and look nice but I’m so glad I have started rolling sloppy joints again the autonomy is liberating

Imagine a world where Taylor Swift married Colin Kaepernick instead

Little on the nose

Need this new genre: Gaymericana

“What you think of me is none of my business” - the 🐐 Jamie Lee Curtis

One of the many things I’ll never understand about USA male culture: saying a woman “looks like a dude” All women look about 50% like at least one dude. Their biological fathers.

I’m not a big weather person so I might as well return to my ancestral homeland of Érie

We aren’t living in the fourth reich, we’re living in the second confederacy

At our cores we are all ultimately cowards that wish to shut out the horrors of the world when we have a lapse in responsibility
