one of the most important people to have in your life is the person you have casual sex with one or two times a month with whom you’ve built a surprisingly caring relationship. that person will carry you through anything

this ipod with a microsd slot and bluetooth would fix me

i successfully conditioned my cat to just nap on my desk while waiting for breakfast instead of trying to swat at anything in reach to make me get up. however, the other cat, who can only have gross allergy food, now also whines at me until i feed mine so he can rush in after and sniff for scraps

i miss waffle house so fucking much man. it's critical that you get the hashbrowns with literally everything which includes a scoop of chili that's way older than you want or need to think about

"Get his ass” Is so unreasonably funny to me. A huge win for the English language. Today's version of "seize him" imo

i love how on a macro design level the civilization games' conception of world history is absurd and rancid yet the handwave simplifications and weak jokes and weird rng accidents capture the real course of history so accurately as to be uncanny

i'm going to set all of my twitter brain reflexive caveats aside and say it's been so unbelievably long since I've seen anyone with this level of power even give lip service to a value I hold deeply and work to promote & safeguard in my everyday life and it made my heart swell to read

games are an extreme example but i've been astonished at how boldly the entire PMC have abandoned basic personnel management in the 20s. & when you try to confront them (individually or collectively) the response is either smol bean bellyaching or akin to trying to confront a proud road rager

i started a music blog so deranged that it changes color when you refresh it. it updates wednesdays and the first post is about madonna's most eminently forgotten album by way of brostep, the closet, conservative art, and llm aesthetics megacritic.follyof.men#20251112-MDNA

abolish drive thrus i am not joking in the slightest

capitalism is mankind's most evil invention by any quantitative measure but it also gave us that sublime facial expression your coworker makes at you that says "the boss is a fucking idiot and i'm not doing any of what they just said" so who's to say if it's good or bad really

i love being a music pervert i was just UTTERLY enraptured by the sound of a fridge humming in the taco shop. i was practically overcome when it abruptly stopped and the clatter of dishes being washed rushed in to fill the silence

listening to the new Fall of Civilizations about persia and damn this croesus guy got fucking owned

like clockwork i miss a creatine dose and get woken up multiple times by variations of the same nightmare where I'm one of a few new hires at a job and our boss decides which of us to keep on by sending us to army bootcamp like they do with actors doing war movies to see who survives longest

100% vindicated

the funniest thing about this is No Time To Die literally has The Next Bond as a supporting character and works hard to give that character an onramp to continue the series but she is a black woman and even the movie itself is too afraid to follow through and has her give up the 007 code at the end

listen Björk is my literal mother but one thing John Cale's not gonna do is "collab" with his torchbearers by shooting over an instagram dm with a google drive link to an mp3 of some stock John Cale sentiments with a giant obvious splice point in the middle

the phrase you are looking for is "art of the deal"

hey when are they going to make a digital audio playstation you know what i'm saying

by not using splice next question

boy the price of pretending i can afford to go to the doctor is getting really steep

happy great lakes 9/11 to all who celebrate

proposing a corollary to the "everyone is twelve" theory i'm calling "and if not they're seventeen," positing that countercultural affect/social dynamics have regressed in parallel to those of the mainstream, by way of both unconscious capitulation and attempted corrective

are we allowed to talk about how Madeon - Pop Culture (live mashup) is good again yet or is that still, like, off limits youtu.be/lTx3G6h2xyA?...

i've only gotten a few brief chances to experience the specific emotion Sade are illustrating in "The Sweetest Taboo" but every time i've been struck by how precisely they captured it. like 1:1 it's that feeling as a waveform. what an achievement even at that level of the canon

warner brothers trickster figures explained

evangelical escapee here, the familiar throughline i see is this person thinks medicine should not be used to "cheat." for ozempic it's cheating your moral responsibility because to them being fat is a sin. for vaccines it's the usual "it's unnatural" discomfort expressed as cheating divine will

communist hunks of the world i'm not liberal but im sooooooooo willing to be an active doe-eyed listener while you explain fanshen to me 😇

Sonic the Hedgehog. One of the greatest and most attractive characters ever thought up. He can run at sound speed, take out enemies in a flash, and best of all, he's blue colored and knows how to handle the females. Speaking of females, the Sonic universe might also be classified as Hot Chick Heaven

maddening if expected to already see the third way machine zooming so far out on this week's results that "you won" becomes "we won" and every obvious repudiation of their ideology blurs into "the overall dem response was to tack right and not rock the boat, and then everyone vote dem"

there is a feeld competitor called taimi that's been so overrun by chasers that their block button has an additional option to "block all accounts [associated with this user]" because of how prevalent this behavior is

I am hearing that on his deathbed Dick Cheney received the light of Islam and unhesitatingly recited the Shahada. Even now he looks down on the Ummah from the gardens of Jannah, with his hunter's bow in his hand, chasing gazelle. Truly there is no god but Allah, and Mohammad is his prophet!

chasers love to be like "i want a girl who's weird and crazyyy 😜" and then bolt even when you try to start them off easy with something benign like remarking that pizza is an anti-jealousy food

i love watching big boys in tight clothing :)

when did this baseball game turn into a hockey game sheesh

DEATH TO AMERICA GO BIRDS AMEN

me the other day: y'know as i get older i'm accepting that it's unreasonable to think i can care about even everything that needs it and the compulsion to know what's going on often does me more harm than good me since then: heritage foundation infighting brianna wu apology cuomo gaffe yummy yum yum

yen tech got everything right about the future

the cruelest dumbest tackiest assholes are in fact residents of inner ring suburbs - long island, orange county, newton MA - and the "real american" (aw shucks hayseed whose lack of taste or knowledge shows the virtuous naivete of the volk) is as much cover for them as it is for centrist reptiles

you know marking plymouth rock was kind of like framing a shitpost if you think about it

until this year's price spikes snap was more than i "needed" to feed myself and the fact that i could splurge a bit on decent ingredients, share what i cooked, even throw a modest thanksgiving was all the humanity I had when poverty stripped the rest away and if you call that abuse fuck you forever

my most common interaction on tinder by far is men realizing i'm trans and panic-blocking me so fast that i get an error code by the time i hit "send" on a first message

happy birthday to the pinnacle of human art and spirituality

libertarians no longer interested in world series game 3

this was my avengers infinity war youtu.be/TPBhershOHI

i believe the jarring, ungainly results of the CD assuming a continuous listener but inviting a discontinuous one is its defining feature from an art theory/history perspective

it's a real shame that dub/minimal techno insists on holding pop at such a distance cause boys i gotta tell ya your shit blends with chart hits like nothing else. you thought ag cook was cooking with staircase autotune wait til you hear it rippling through 3/4 delay over a chain reaction deep cut

the fact that "artificially inflating the time on site stat" is still the only goal of all this is crazy to me. haven't we had like six different world-altering scandals demonstrating that not only are the numbers fake but they don't actually mean what they're sold to advertisers as meaning

estranged horrible birth families swooping in to seize control of what remains of us when we're gone from a chosen family the law doesn't recognize, whether it's funeral arrangements or an international press narrative, is a sword of damocles in the trans community i wish we had more resources for
