Hey look! Your portrait showed up on the bot account again.

I enjoyed visiting the last time I was in town. Definitely going back the next time. Looks like there's a lot of place I'll be trying to visit the next time I head up there.

It is so cold. Looks like I'm staying in, drinking scotch, and watching Svengoolie.

Making a veg ragu with... red cabbage. Man, lemme tell ya, it's getting crazy over here!!

Hey if you're running by the coffee shop, could you grab me a Danish?

Seeing Gunshy Matt at a bowling alley that isn't even the Fireside!

Oh my... a new record from The Arrivals?! Maybe a few shows, plz?

Yeahhhhhhhhh!!! That's the stuff. I've said it here about nine times now but I am SO EXCITED for Mike's book.

I wish I could play harmonica. Whenever I said anything pithy or funny, I'd play myself off like the end of a scene in Roseanne/The Connors.

SUPER BEARS

They're death squads. That's all there is to it.

I was there. I don't say that as a brag but instead to call out that being around caring people in my community helped me a lot today. Whatever that looks like for you, put down the phone and try it. We all need healing.

Watching 'Norma Rae' on TCM. This movie gets me every time. Sally Field won every bit of that Oscar. I wish more people would see this one. What it says is going to become only more relevant.

POWER HAT

People who claim to stick up for trans community members then also post links from NYT to add authority to whatever point they're making (eg: "see! The NYT reports the coup WAS violent! Rubio lies!" or whatever) are pretty doing this and should reminded of it often.

defector.com/how-many-tra... If you give NYT money, please consider what you're funding and the utterly hateful consent it manufactures.

If I ever 'skeet' more than a dozen times in a day, please end my misery.

It is a great day for blocking and muting.

Awww man. This is really sad news. I've seen some great shows there that didn't feature major label bands (do you, just not really why I'd go when I got the chance).

I revere educators and their work. Many of my friends are in that field and I'm fucking begging them to become aware that most of the world's workers do indeed work through their school break

Been listening to kind of a lot (for me) Obituary lately. Shit rocks.

Merry Bearsmas!

I like pulltabs as much as the next guy but I can't say I've ever considered them a 'cherished tradition'.

I absolutely adore this painting and always seek it out its place in the Impressionist halls.

I don't really care who this is or what it is about. I just kinda think it is funny that CNN is just a guy showing you something on the phone. I also don't watch CNN. Which one of those three is the sex pest?

I think that what I've learned today is that you can totally get away with crimes if you don't use a phone and aren't weird to people on reddit. A nation of absolutely hopeless phone addicts will learn nothing from this.

I suppose congratulations are in order for the New York Times, where a dedicated staff of legacy admits worked tirelessly over the last ten years asking questions like "how many trans children SHOULD there be?". This legislative 'victory' is theirs, too.

So stoked for this show! Trying to remember if I've ever seen Nachos and HWC on the same lineup. Very into seeing Mellow Harsher too (pick squeals, dude). metalinjection.net/tour-dates/p...

I've gone to the museum just to see this painting.

Happy 100th Birthday to living legend Dick Van Dyke! We hope he's having a jolly holiday today!

Happy 100th to Dick van Dyke!

The Karl Promise: I will rarely, if ever, do the 'get a load of this asshole' retweet. If you have the distinct pleasure of spending time with me in person, I will never shove my phone in your face to show you something shitty. These are the things I believe in. Thank you.

Hell yeah

I have watched hundreds of movies on Tubi. It is the last interesting thing the tech types have done.

Screamin' Jay Hawkins, by Karl Wirsum American, 1939-2021 1968 More info: https://www.artic.edu/artworks/109886

A friend shared this song with me today and I'm obsessed. It speaks to something we can all understand. youtu.be/xulqLSqbKus?...

Obviously it's disappointing that I didn't win the inaugural FIFA Peace Award. I felt like I had a good shot at it, and that there was a case to be made. But I'm not giving up, and I will do whatever it takes to win the next one. They're definitely going to keep giving it out.

Nice to learn I'm not the only person disappointed by Messi League Soccer.

Watched 'Fargo' at the Davis last night. Tonight was 'Inside Llewellyn Davis' while looking out at the snowy park. Not yet sure what Coen Bros flick is for tomorrow.

spotify wrapped? more like “spotify warped music and devalued labor while paying those who made the songs you love fractions of pennies,” thank you

I live next to a train station. Everyone else has cleared the sidewalk of snow except the trust fund hippie "studio" right at the gate. They did, however, take a lot of video of when they power washed said sidewalk in the summer.

This is weirdly compelling.

Even more good news! Looks like I'm booking another trip on the Borealis. Long live real cinema!

Now there's some good news!

Living in Chicago is reminding me of Knoxville in that it's dominated by uninteresting chain restaurants (I see no difference between Applebee's and, I dunno, the Hogsalt Group).

Dang, did you hear about this Olivia Nuzzi? It's crazy 🤪

Watching 'The Last Waltz' with motion smoothing, as Marty intended.
