Paris: a story in one trash can

Stop what you’re doing and watch these pro wrestling intros for FF Tactics jobs classes. 🤼 #wrestlesky

This is almost as exciting as when my ‘98 Ford Escort rolled over to 100,000 miles

I love this, all 7 minutes of it youtu.be/j9V504V7-9k

I love a good 1980s Czechoslovak fever dream youtu.be/K-lXdx_ytSE

“Hail team well met” hasn’t caught on?

My new favorite bit of corporate jargon is “Hi team,” which is apparently a required salutation when posting a question or request to a large Slack channel. Variants include “Hey team,” “Hello team,” and “Hi team 👋”

I'm not going to stop posting my favorite French-Canadian pop songs on a weekly basis; you have been warned www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCCm...

I love Kunio Okawara’s OG Gundam illustrations- they have such a campy, toy-commercial vibe, but they still hit the cool-as-hell 70s sci-fi nail right on the head

Every time I hang up a shower curtain, I think of John Candy and smile

It seems like we could pretty easily afford to pay for a universal healthcare program if we just taxed everyone a fixed percentage of their income rather than perpetuating a system that lets people who are already extremely rich get so disgustingly rich they can buy state and federal senators

I love discovering bands in the thrift store. Every time I’ve picked up an offbeat-looking cassette tape and thought “OK, I have to know what this sounds like,” I haven’t regretted it youtu.be/fhwy4j_tF9M?

lets play “gorbo’s dream hell” on nintimbo skitch 2

This may come as a shock, but I’m actually neither of those

If all you have is a crappy phone camera and the subject is far off in the distance, “photo of people taking photos of the thing” can often be a lot more compositionally interesting than “photo of the thing”

I took the ferry to Staten Island and ordered Chicken Parm, and they gave me two of them topped with prosciutto, what the fuck, help

The waiter complimented my pronunciation of “orecchiette salccisia e rapini,” so I’m pretty sure I’m Italian now

gang you’re not gonna believe this, they dug tunnels and put (get this) TRAINS in them

Now I know what the East River smells like

The people of Midtown Manhattan have erected great temples to their gods, which anthropologists believe were twin deities named “Crate” and “Barrel”

I have never seen a more beautiful city that just so happens to smell like pee and poo and piss and shit

Reading a 14th-century monastic treatise on contemplative meditation at a bar in the East Village where the background music is 100% Gregorian chants and they shush you if you talk any louder than a whisper #JustAlexThings

I wonder if @benjaminlclark.com knows of any plans for a Flashbeagle exhibit at the Shultz museum? Maybe coordinate it with a vinyl repressing of the soundtrack?

How am I just now learning about the 1984 Peanuts TV special “It’s Flashbeagle, Charlie Brown” youtu.be/uIBcZJ15bzE

"When you're mad, just think of me."

When I was in 2nd or 3rd grade, I had to write a report — and, more importantly, make a sock puppet — about a historical figure. I chose Josef Stalin, because he was a cool character from a video game I liked (Command & Conquer: Red Alert). My mom made this sweet greatcoat for him and everything

we're turning your bedroom back into the computer room [repeat line] and it makes good sense, it's the only way you can sleep out on the couch til' you find a place or maybe you can live at my sister's house she always liked you better anyway~! [repeat chorus] www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7Hl...

I'm just learning about Skryptonite (Скриптонит), a hugely successful rapper from Kazakhstan. Apparently he's one of the most popular musical artists in the Eastern Bloc, and I can see why. For one, the dude's got range. Here's some bumpin' and incisive gangster rap www.youtube.com/watch?v=79PM...

Somehow, every once in a while, this song still pops into my head out of nowhere, after 18 years youtu.be/AOzkN8dHnjk
