The company I work for started giving us MLK Jr Day off a few years ago and part of me is still like, "are you sure? I just came back from completely fucking off for the last two weeks of the year"

How would I save Star Wars if you gave me control? Glad you asked. I would introduce betting. You could bet on what was going to happen in Star Wars.

Plenty of artists who don't live their professed values, caring is a chump's game but man I'm always going to be raw about Sleater-Kinney turning into boring NPR rock and pushing out their coolest member

Blank Check doing a Lynne Ramsay series right after she said she wants to rehabilitate Ezra Miller's career. Pretty funny stuff.

Doing troll replies and posting shit like "actually Democrats are the real insurrectionists" while getting zero traction. How do you not swallow a bullet.

Your call is very important to us. That's why we're blasting a repetitive music loop that could be classified as a war crime and keep trying to trick you into hanging up.

Just another day working at the venerable Nobel Foundation, a place that hands out prestigious awards that definitely matter. Hmm, seems like everyone's avoiding eye contact with each other. I wonder what's up.

We're just over a month out from Mardi Gras (yikes!) and one person guessed my costume the other day; I imagine it's now pretty obvious with these pieces together. My costume this year is Fortunato (zombificato!) from The Cask of Amontillado. Still lots to do!

This big fucking nerd is still trying to make the "Trump is doing socialism" line stick

I simply do not fuck with anyone who wants to play the Everyone Is Hysterical But Me game by underestimating what Trump and his enablers are capable of/willing to do at this point. This isn't sober analysis, it is denial of reality.

1993

have we not suffered enough

Beavis and Butt-Head standing in front of a poster for THE BONE TEMPLE for 5 straight hours

lol

Gosh it's almost like being openly defiant in court and hostile toward any accountability for her actions may have factored into her being "over-sentenced"

This Celebrity Broke Their Silence and Said The Quiet Part Loud With an Epic Clapback

I'LL SHOW YOU THE LIFE OF CHRIS GAINES

"Certainly throwing this tiny piece of onion in the trash won't result in the whole house smelling like onion in the morning" - me, an absolute FOOL

Doing more digging on the list dumps I’ve been able to find of this and yeah the “leak” angle here is complete bullshit. It’s a scrape of anybody that has had ICE, Border Patrol, FBI in their linkedin profiles combined with a dump of Brady List databases.

Nancy is four today and yes we did sing “Happy Birthday” (softly so she didn’t get frightened).

Hey @comraderobot.bsky.social do you want to go halfsies on this

shamelessly stealing,

One of my bands, New Standards Men, has gathered some material and put it on Bandcamp as a release called "New Wave Barbarism" Any and all proceeds from this release will be donated to @miracmn.bsky.social newstandardsmen.bandcamp.com/album/new-wa... More info about the band / material below.

Scott Adams is dead, long live Kaleb Horton’s Dilbert Project: www.kalebchorton.com/blog/the-dlb...

Still thought there was a 50/50 chance Scott Adams was faking it all as a "social experiment" or whatever. Rest in piss, you sad loser.

A poster artist I was a big fan of and whose work I had up in my home went full-bore into NFTs and got antagonistic with people telling him they were stupid. I took all his shit down and he has ceased to exist to me. The tokens may not have been fungible but he sure as hell was.

Coming up on the anniversary of the trade, I have at least three Dallas-area friends whose kids are now Lakers fans because they loved Luka and saw no reason to stay loyal to the Mavs when the Mavs weren't loyal to him. Truly a generational fuckup. I hope Nico is crying in a ditch somewhere.

the replay really makes this one

An evergreen genre of reddit post is "I'm looking for [thing that is out-of-print/rare/exclusive/hard to find] but everywhere I look it's expensive. What do?" and then people have to explain supply and demand to them

The San Luis Rey is less a river and more a "long puddle"

Imagining squawking flocks of birds and all the beasts of forest and fen fleeing headlong from the subtle telluric currents and infrasonic waves radiating outward from the location the Polis-Dokoupil interview

This is your brain on incrementalism

living in a world where the only two jobs are “gambling” and “murder” isn’t nearly as cool as Cowboy Bebop made it out to be

The two guys on our Swedish IT team I interact with the most are named Hampus and Rasmus and someday I hope to figure out which is which

*Peter Steele voice* Mac mac mac mac number wuh-uh-un

Rest in piss Erich Von Daniken. Racist pseudoscience charlatan and a model for every flat earth, tartaria, Atlantis etc shithead who came after him

Remember when they still felt some need to be covert and we used to litigate whether a hand gesture they all loved doing in pictures meant anything

Kudos to the Golden Globe producer who - immediately after a joke about famous people on the Epstein list - cuts to Bill Maher.

I Will Weaponize The DOJ Against My Enemies is the sort of thing that could be wildly effective if used sparingly or even as an implicit threat but he's gotta mash the button until the machine goes tilt lol

Chargers off to an auspicious start

Chekhov's Doink

Seeing comments on the Send Help trailer like "if this is supposed to be a horror movie why does it seem so campy." I fear the children do not know about Sam Raimi.

The Carolina Panthers just did this to all of us

RIP

Mission of Burma - That's How I Escaped My Certain Fate

The next step is definitely going to be turning Good's killer into a right wing media circuit celebrity like Rittenhouse, huh

Early COVID discourse that just popped back into my brain: people speculating that shaking hands would cease to be a cultural norm
