Peak Virginia is a pickup truck covered in gun decals, with a single Minion decal for good measure, being flummoxed by a traffic circle. I love that the 2A motherfuckers who dream about an another Civil War will get annihilated the first time the 3rd Fem Boy Battalion leads them into a roundabout.

Catfood has names like, “flaked salmon entrees for demure princesses” and dog food has names like “WILD MEAT CHUNKS FOR WOLVES THAT STAND FOR THE FLAG AND KNEEL FOR THE CROSS.”

Finally getting some theological clarity on the ethics of reclining in one’s plane seat

Passed a coyote in an empty field today. The coyote was the size of a small deer but even before I knew what it was, I knew it wasn’t a deer. When deer move they’re on the lookout for…whereas a coyote or any predator really, is looking for. It’s a minor distinction but it means everything.

When the Leftist firebrands at my incredibly middle of the political road home town Newspaper are saying the Democrats fucked up, you really know they fucked up.

Look, I just turned 46 but still do a lot of stupid shit so I don’t really feeeel 46, but I just told my wife, “this is a great time of year for grapefruit, they just don’t miss” which means I am in fact, 46 as fuck.

“Installing a marble shitter, boy I dunno if he’s about to respect term limits!” - every failed democracy of the past century

Charging headlong into the new era in which we see every congressional candidate fully nude during the primaries

One surprising way that black metal and NPR country are the same is that I Google the fuck out of any new artists I find to make sure they’re not Nazis.

Saw this beast coming at me at the same I got a “who’s raincoat is this?” text from a coworker. In Virginia. ‘Twas my raincoat.

This rules so God damn hard.

Caught up with some non-American rock and roll pals tonight and let me just tell you, ain’t no fucking cop or American soldier as brave as any non-American metal band touring the US right now.

I’m not supremely optimistic that we have elections in 2026, or that they’ll matter if we do, but outside of Trump’s hand picked people the Republicans seem pretty bad at fascism and like they may not stick with it.

AI this, AI that, I ain't impressed with nothing until I can text my cat.

If American history has taught me anything, it’s that we are ten years out from Hollywood making movies about how the Fed Pigs hassling homeless people in DC are secretly sad and conflicted about it. Fuck that, don’t ever let them white wash this shit.

Fuck RFK.

I am the binturong, the work truck is my enclosure, and the 5 hour energy drink I cannot find is my enrichment item.

The morning of CSA pickup day totally fucking rocks because I feel compelled to stand in the kitchen like a black bear and eat every God damn blue berry in the house because today there will be…new berries.

Anytime Megadaeath is playing in the pet store I assume the guy that sells the snakes is djing.

“Step Brothers” is a masterpiece and this article provides the theoretical framework to prove it.

Trump’s electoral superpower is that voting for him is seen as a generic “I’m mad” button and everyone just kinda fills in what they’re mad about and what he’s going to do about it themselves, ending up with their own personal fanfic version of the president.

For every portal dolmen not only provides cover for rain-bullied archaeologists, but shelter for folklore. Shelter for people to stand under it and imagine beyond the confines of the now. Here is a safe space to hold hands with the long dead and feel wonder. - Dr. K. Brophy #StandingStoneSunday

Big time 45-year old move: buying your own fan for shows. Rare Sunday, old people appropriate show this afternoon in West Chester. We play at 5(!) batting clean up for the homies in Double Planet and Brain Candle.

This has been out in the wild for a month and people are still finding it, and in some cases sliding into my DMs to tell me how much they like it. I can’t tell you how much we all appreciate that. clamfight.bandcamp.com/album/clamfi... Clamfight | Clamfight

The CITY OWNED GROCERY STORES thing as creeping communism is so funny because there’s like 20 states where if you want to buy beer you’ve got to go to a municipal liquor store

I’m still no good at Blue Sky, but tonight we honor our brother and collaborator Steve Poponi. Come watch me have emotions.

it takes a special brand of political incompetence to see millions of people marching against the opposition and not do anything to seize that momentum but it appears dem leadership has decided to do just that

Gang, it would have been completely fine to stop early-aughts nostalgia at “everyone like Korn again.” We don’t need to do another Forever War.

Normal politics are over. The ones who don’t want you dead “just” want you in a prison cell.

Wild days when @lairdbarron.bsky.social ‘s fiction provides a much needed break from doom scrolling. This story is a deliriously good time. All hail the Gray Eminence. Maybe It can save us.

The great part about editing is the constant swing between, “this bit is alright” to “I am not fit to write a grocery list.” The ok bits keep me going but I’ll probably crack a fucking tooth by the time this draft is done.

I doubt we should have any exception to the policy "The president should not murder his enemies" but I am 100% willing to observe a controlled experiment with n=1 to test my theory. I am a man of science.

We are absolutely allowed to have fun on days like this and anyone who tries to tell you otherwise still wets the bed. Experience some joy when and where you can among the horrors.

Not sure I’ve ever had to put a horror novel aside for a few days due to it being utterly heartbreaking but here we are. There hasn’t been a book by @sgj.bsky.social that I haven’t loved but this feels like the one people will be teaching in a 100 years. Hopefully.

“Mind ya business, mind ya business! We gotta walk in the street because you don’t know how to mind ya business!” Our neighbor to their dog that screams instead of barks, and absolutely does not know how to mind his own business.

Saw more ospreys than seagulls, at least one whale, and dolphins today. I’ve fished all my life and have never seen the numbers of marine mammals I’ve seen in the last ten years. I can’t stress how hard you should fuck yourself if you voted for the current administration. They would undue all this.

The Metallica tour is in Philly and the Mrs. and I just saw two crew dudes buying all of the milk. If you want cow or oat milk, and the Ac-a-me in South Philly is out, BLAME METALLICA. PS-I also saw a whale while fishing and hit the weed store so today has been very exciting.

Democrats in 2024: Trump will push 10s of millions off of Medicaid if he wins Corporate Media: Democrats are liars, Trump promises not to cut anyone from Medicaid if he wins <Trump wins and cuts 13.7 million off of Medicaid> Corporate Media: real barn burner last night in House, so much fun!

I need to stay a registered Democrat to vote in the PA primaries but Jesus Christ, they couldn’t be a weaker, more pathetic party. Unreal.
