A minor regret I’ve had is not being in a great place in life to have watched movies and hung out with my grandma on my dad’s side when she was retired. Rectifying that in a way by starting a movie night with my recently-retired mom and picking her up some books I enjoyed that I think she’ll like.

When Rudy Ray Moore, doing crowd work in the intro to one of the Dolemite movies, said that a man 'looked like when he farted in the tub he turned around and bit the bubbles' he really described some people's whole deal

saw an item this morning about an old gaming forum I posted on in the early 00s going dark after 25 years and honestly it might be for the best. I understand there are "preserve everything" people, and sometimes I get it, but not everything has to endure into eternity. tidal.com/track/130601...

I talked to @kissphoria.bsky.social about the under-recognized history of blacklight posters: 70s-sci-fi-art.ghost.io/gwen-howerto...

There should not a Weezer tribute band called Weeezer

Yep

Yum a dum dum

first publix chicken tender sub in a long time and I can already feel it healing my body and spirit

New Les Claypool and reissues of Ween and Isis out today per a local record store I follow; big day for the cargo shorts guys.

I know some people do cool stuff with them, but I feel like this is the case far more often than not

tenth book of the year down last night, really enjoyed this one, maybe my favorite thus far

This is comics legend turned MAGA moron Jim Steranko

James Brown seeing Brother Ted in the afterlife for the first time

Blu Ray guys buy some of the worst movies in the world

My tastes in jazz definitely lean more towards 70s stuff, but in terms of enjoying the fidelity and clarity of a pair of good speakers you can't beat some of the well-recorded jazz of the late 50s and 60s. Alright, there's my quota of old fart opinions for the week out of the way.

“EDC gear” is just beanie babies for IT guy types not confident in their masculinity

Made one of these for the sci-fi and fantasy art crowd

Anyone know of a good cryptkeeper? I was suspicious of mine after so little work was getting done so i set up a hidden camera and half the time he's just sitting there telling stories

Pizza, wings, and an ice cold coke of cola zero; I believe that’s what they refer to as a power trio

It was a mistake not to squash Mormonism when we had the chance instead of essentially giving them one of our most beautiful states

Seen by the register at Little Ax Records in Portland a few years ago

First heard this on an easy listening compilation a few years back and immediately clocked it as an all-timer. You can see why Creed Taylor signed them and put an all-star band behind them. youtu.be/8-9XDpd3N28?...

did the "steampunk" fad ever produce anything worth a fuck?

I have done my time and my due diligence pretending it might not be so, but it’s time to just say it: every used bookstore in this town fucking sucks.

Vinyl game has been cooked for a while now, but nothing like a $15 copy of Sports to drive that home

One thing that I think separates the dudes from the douches is that the dudes understand that you don’t need to understand another person’s whole deal to respect the hell out of ‘em. Nothing wrong with a little mystery or living a life that you yourself could not picture yourself living.

Wish I had some more whiskey on hand to fuel whiskey cokes to keep this night of reading my crime novel on the back porch going, but I’ll have to settle for some post-yardwork beers from the garage mini-fridge

I tend to lose a lot of respect for dudes when I find out they're into lazy edgy/"subversive" shit that's mostly an excuse to behave like an asshole

"Is Pepsi OK?" Only if you're referring to their classic airbrush advertising art

A remnant of the older internet I'm glad has died out is sites watermarking images they didn't create, forever tainting image searches

maybe the OP is correct or something, truly no offense to them, but if this post is decipherable to you you are too online. You have granted your pathetic incel enemies a level of importance over your life and mind that is orders of magnitude higher than it should be.

Fundamentally do not understand people who don’t read books and watch old movies

$15 at the grocery store: "do you think im some sort of stupid consumerist whore??" $15 online: "well that's basically free"

Finished the rewatch last week, but man, what a program that first season is

got excited for a second that this was reposted as a response to a news event we've all been looking forward to

Beyond the big, psychological problems with social media, it trains you to expect a constant drip of interesting things when there are just not that many interesting things you are going to be in the headspace for at a given moment. Same with that annoying impulse to always check your phone.

Working on my 8th book of the year; Might be a little further if I didn't spin my wheels getting too far into a few that weren't good before bailing on 'em, but on pace to hit my yearly goal of 25, which feels good
