"Our central hypothesis is that poetic form operates as a general-purpose jailbreak operator."

Extremely practical lessons here that anyone can use. Wasting the enemy’s time is both achievable and important

I'm afraid this is what happens when you hide who you are. Should have stuck with "St. Louis Bread Company"

ah hell yeah, found my tai chi plug

Threading my arms through my Democrats jersey and sitting down to the old keyboard, eager to get a new day rev'd up

Am not totally in love with getting text messages from an all new Kennedy.

When it comes to the accepted calendars for book promotion, a large and important caveat is when you believe way more people should read the book due to they generally find your topic frivolous or beneath them. In such a case you can promote your skateboarding book forever. Forever.

someone go tell these dorks to get out of there, thank you

"To that end, skateboarding is a pedagogical tool akin to what David Graeber referred to as 'poetic technologies' that expand our imagination beyond the limitations of restrictive bureaucracies"

Well this went great. This went wonderfully. Please take classes from me in the future I would like to keep doing this until I keel over.

I attended exactly one VP Ball in my life. I carried around a notebook and jotted my little notes on the sly because I was writing what would become The Slide. The experience more or less rejiggered my entire sense of life in St. Louis. I imagine this will be excellent.

Performative Just I Guess Moving Through Public Space And Being Visible While Being Myself To The Extent That Such A Thing Is Still Possible

There is a lot that's fucked up about this—it's all fucked up—but maybe most striking to me, now, sitting here in my body and taking time to consider and respond, is that the death bot's response takes all of one second.

first and foremost you have to love people. you have to try to love people, fucked up animals we are and all. indulging misanthropy and anti-social sentiment is a win for the anti-social misanthropes who want everyone who isn't them dead.

stopped by to note that 'And the Anonymous Nobody' is much better than i remembered

One of the greatest writers and greatest souls in skateboarding has left us. Take some time when you can to page through the work of Kevin Wilkins, who today for the first time in a long time is not fighting cancer. Rest in peace, Kevin, and thank you.

I have accomplished so much today.

While I'm here, happy to answer any questions about trying to quit a 30-year weed habit.

Any of you, any single one, could have told me how stupid Weapons is. We could have watched Godzilla last night but no.

Quite possibly the first thing of mine that's ever sold out. We're full! Go home!

"Trump’s USDA has emailed grocery retailers warning them not to give discounts to SNAP recipients who will not be receiving assistance this month." In which using your own resources to help people is now an act of dissidence, and I for one am down as hell let's gooo.
