When I introduce myself to my Algerian research interviewees as an Irish person: “My friend, we are brothers in revolution against the evils of colonialism” When I introduce myself as an American: 👀

Should not have checked my Arabic translators group chat this morning >_<

This is probably the best Onion article, but my favorite is still the one from right after Obama was elected: Black Man Given Worst Job in America

At the thinking mean thoughts about the government and maybe making some soup phase of my realistic American democratic participation in how my tax dollars are being used to attack a country where most of my childhood friends’ parents are from.

Remembering when I was growing up near the Reagan Library when it was almost done construction and they had a YEAH WAR WOO rally in front when the Iraq War started and two activists showed up, got naked, and had sex in front of everyone and that was the only thing the papers reported.

Just as there is always a tweet, there is always an Onion article.

My neighbor is going with a bunch of other journalism graduate students to interview people in Tehrangeles, LA’s Persian district. I’m curious what people there will say and if they’ll be the only journalists there.

Proud of the YouTube algo for getting it so, so right youtu.be/p_0ox4BDDGk?...

Channeling my punk self from the start of the Iraq War 2 today by boycotting homework for a day and generally fucking off to think mean thoughts about the president while I eat snacks.

The local crust punks are equal parts drunk and angry at war this morning.

Great job, intern

When I think of the IRGC I think of the Japanese Navy in the Battle of Tsushima. The Russian flagship raised the code flag for surrender, but the Japanese kept shooting at them because their codebooks did not contain the code for surrender.

I looked at the targets the US and Israel are going after and, speaking as someone who has degrees in Middle Eastern Studies and worked for years as an analyst on Middle Eastern affairs, it’s clear the military planners kicked out the civilian analysts for planning this.

Affirmation Coyote was woken up by Fuck This Shit Fox. Looks like Angry Orange Grandpa is getting in some tail wagging the dog action.

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done - started a war in the middle east - completely destroyed the economy

Time is a flat circle

"Everyone is 12" theory going strong

Oh fuck the first ten minutes of being awake today were cute furry videos and friendly times and now there’s a war on?

Garlic and Irish Spring 🔥

Insert a sleep into local wolf friend and receive one wag

Well I watched Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning and it was exceptionally stupid in an enjoyable way but not like the 007 movies I’ve been watching. Still worth it. 👌

RÖAR pasta and wine time 🤌

A friend told me if I like 007 movies for silly fun to try the newer Mission Impossible movies, and can confirm this one is world class stupid 🤌

Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some Zen to the feed

Nope

Maximum day off fun 🎉💥

I regret to inform you that the Secretary of Defense is an idiot

Rocking THE FUCK OUT to the coyote national anthem m.youtube.com/watch?v=JXTc...

Incredible things are happening

Trump on the Supreme Court's tariffs ruling: "Is a Rehearing or Readjudication of this case possible???"

Been really jamming out hard to one of my very favorite surf punk tracks of the 2010s today, fitting for the hot Southern California weather today: m.youtube.com/watch?v=j6ju...

Streisand effect says wut?

This weekend I’m writing a paper on Algerian Arabic’s evolution from Classical Arabic and I’m contemplating making Algerian chicken couscous with white herb sauce to go along with it. 👀🔥

I switched to loose leaf tea and I think the caffeine load must be much higher because I have spent this entire morning rocking out like a monster to Celtic rock and surf punk. 🤘

Thinking about RFK Jr telling people to eat cheaper cuts of meat and the theory that the USSR reformulating the state-mandated composition of sausage to include more cheaper organ meat in 1974 was the official moment that the Soviet Union was in terminal economic decline.

It’s a play guitar along with Celtic rock and rawk the fuck out kind of morning! 🇮🇪🤘 m.youtube.com/watch?v=P-Ob...

My X-Com 2 squad’s names: Rick Hardslab Dick Grabowski Buck Lance Deltoid P Hamsterlicker And their fearless leader from Ireland, Shit-for-Brains Murphy

Making a pot of tea and then I am going to make a nice bread 🍞

Got up real early to take a walk to avoid the heat today, came back and went back to sleep and had a dream that JD Vance ran for president and had to drop out after his wife posted a video of him ferociously molesting a pink loveseat. I woke up giggling.

Incredible that the president of the united states was bamboozled by this:

Pretty sure my punk friends when I was twenty just did this every day without getting paid millions.

Uhhhhhhh

YouTube thinks I live in Wichita, Kansas and serves me hyper local ads that are profoundly strange windows into a conservative world that I never want to visit.

Shout out to the sweaty Slavic guy sprinting around like a smackhead who I encountered about twenty times on my long evening stroll who got increasingly pissed off at me waving at him every time we passed after the first five times.

My advisor says that I should prioritize the University of Vienna, where I studied abroad in college, for my PhD program applications when I get there, and I am very waggy at the prospect of getting to hang out in Vienna again. The perfect blend of coffee, beer, pastries, Turkish food, and academia.

This heat wave is maximum bullshit but at least it isn’t windy so everything doesn’t erupt in flames.
