In 2011 I started working in downtown Phoenix, not far away from a section of Roosevelt Ave called Roosevelt Row. It had free parking, my favorite bar of all time Lost Leaf, a bookstore where my friend did slam poetry in the backyard, an ice cream bar that sold their stuff in Chinese takeout boxes,

She doesn't represent me, but she represents my neighbors in this beautiful desert we call Arizona. And it is unfair that they do not have representation in Congress

Unfortunately it’s illegal for poor people to have fun.

I share a wall with people who don't speak the same language and I don't give a fuck

When I was working from home I would put on albums all day, because the act of flipping the record was a great break. This was definitely one of my favorites to throw on

Kyrsten Sinema's brief post-Senate career highlights: launching a business lobbying group, forming an advocacy org for AI firms, and bullying an Arizona city to approve her client's AI data center. The story I was born to write is now up at @zeteo.com zeteo.com/p/kyrsten-si...

reading slaughterhouse 5 for the first time and i was absolutely knocked senseless by this passage, which is so true and relevant that it feels like it was pulled from a history book

I did a thing

So my bartender invited me into a conversation about someone running out on a tab and basically it was either "eat the tab or get written up" and the person wanted to split the way with the other server, who thought it was unfair. My first thought was "it's fucked up you have to eat this"

I'm making a documentary podcast about what happened after the Titanic sank. Please help back the campaign to fund it and pay real artists to work on it!

With millions at risk of losing SNAP in the coming days, a reminder: hunger doesn't happen in isolation. When food assistance disappears, families use rent money to eat. Then come evictions and homelessness. Housing, food, healthcare—it's all connected. Cut one thread and the whole thing unravels.

A dog just hopped up on an outdoor barstool and smiled at me

It is amazing that voting for her didn't kill my belief in democracy.

A few months ago I was listening to public domain audio books on hoopla and I experienced Frankenstein for the first time and it was not what I thought it would be. This is a great view of what the novel is

I have been going to punk shows for the past two decades and have met plenty of guys with questionable tattoos. Unless the ink is fresh, they know what it means, and they can either talk to you about it in a knowledgeable way or you should stay the fuck away from them.

I saw Frankie Muniz a few times at Coyotes games, hope this is good

In May 2023 this article came out and exposed that Rep. Paul Gosar’s digital director, Wade Searle, was a dedicated Groyper who was literally a mod for Nick Fuentes’ livestream and stood behind him at AZ Stop the Steal. Anyway, Searle says he’s now part of the Pentagon press corps for LifeSite News.

I have two optional bosses and the final boss left and I'm not sure how much more I want to go for in Silksong

This year's Treehouse has some great ideas, but awful endings. If they didn't undercut the first and second endings I think the third would have been fine, but with three it just feels weak

This is one of my favorite episodes and is a soft foreshadow of a new season episode. Dale wants to try basket weaving, is bad at it, Hank is good because it's simple rules and craftsmanship, which he is good at. Hank appreciates things is my favorite episode type

I usually prefer the scary Treehouse segments, but this one is top 10.

If it's AI slop, I do not shop.

Finished off the day with a trip to Drunk Dracula, a performance of Drunk Shakespeare Phoenix. Great time, very fun

Sometimes you have to treat yourself. Just finished a long, dense, depressing non-fiction book? Read some popcorn sci-fi

Alright I got all the lights turned out and I'm going to watch Alien for the first time in years

This episode is so good, give it a listen if you want to try something new

My little boy is just over a year old

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

By sophomore year, through no fault of my own, I had taken three typing classes. So for the rest of my night school I tried to take computer classes so I can do all the semesters work in four weeks and spend the rest of the semester writing papers due later that day.

Housing organizers in Tucson say that criminalizing homelessness makes it harder for mutual aid groups and city workers to connect with people living outside and build the trust needed to offer supplies, shelter, and treatment.

it's not FOR us

I know y'all remember the Cyber Ninjas right? RIGHT? lmao it's okay, you shouldn't.

A quest to eliminate $5 million has tripled, thanks to the generosity and passion of THE TOXIC AVENGER fans across the country. Together, you didn’t just meet that goal, you crushed it, helping wipe out over $15 million dollars in medical debt for 10,000+ people!

So the sequel to The Big Short is coming along nicely I see.

Artwork used internally at DIC Entertainment during the production of the Super Mario World cartoon, replacing Marge Simpson with Mario. According to a former DIC employee, this was made due to an inside joke at the studio, though the exact nature of the joke has been lost.

I bit the bullet and got a Switch 2 Pro controller, and so good

The toaster being back on his hand is a joke that has stuck with me since the first broadcast. Just a brilliant piece of comedy from the writing to the voice acting to the animation.

I was offered a spot but I had to remind the Golden Globes that I haven't hosted Locked On Coyotes in years, plus the team has relocated, and all of my opinions were bad. But they promised to prematurely put me in an in memorial section for z-grade podcast co-hosts

New video! 🚨 We've looked at Season 20 as a whole, so now it's time to pick out the best of the best. Will the standard def era go out with a whimper or a bang? It's a standard def vs high def Simpsons battle! www.youtube.com/watch?v=TE0x...

A Tucson man -- carpenter by trade and expert sailor -- was captaining one of the boats in the flotilla to Gaza. After Israeli seamen stopped and boarded the boats, his whereabouts are unknown. tucson.com/news/local/s...

I couldn't sleep so I decided to go into work early. I ended up going to McDonald's so early they were doing the switch over to breakfast still, so today my breakfast is a hot and spicy McChicken

Me, a sucker: I'm going to show up at 5 am to get a good start on the workday and get some overtime The universe: let's see what happens if we shut off this key card

One of the problems with addressing this topic, and why it's not more widely known, is that the name of the program is a slur. This is why on TV they often say "the administration is modeling their actions on a 1954 operation with a racist name" then just move on without describing it. Which sucks.

The great thing about this video is it's basically a 4 hour set up to the funniest joke of a person I can think included in a book on science in the final two minutes

Made it to act 3 of Silksong, now it gets really hard

Space!

Pretty good show, glad to see more of it

I support this reimagining of the Martin Lawrence classic

Every new NOA boss is faced with the same question, will they release Mother 3? If not they are my enemy for life
