(Reflects on weekends) Sandlot baseball, bands, tacos/bbq, hanging at the bars with pals, talking bout shit and making art. Checks out.

Look I gotta be honest, every time there's supposed to be a The Rapture and then there's not a The Rapture I am a little bit disappointed.

Coffee shop is great but consider the cheesemonger. I will die on this hill. It's quiet, you can talk, there's cheese.

Yes! When Horace coined "carpe diem" he didn't mean it how we use it. Carpe isn't just seize, but "pluck, enjoy, make use of" and he was telling people to get the most enjoyment out of every day. Didn't take long to suck the joy out of it to make it about work productivity and extreme sports. Uggh.

You look at every culture that's ever existed and the running theme is everyone pretty much just wants to play/dance to music, make art, eat stewed meat wrapped in flat bread, and tell stories about the shapes we find in the stars. Somehow we turned that into wars and overtime and profit margins.

"You need to come work this shift" at jobs I haven't had for a decade plus.

Party ska is and forever will be in my house, tonight and every night.

These are my emotional support stacks and stacks of unread books.

Another fun switch is when you're watching your old shows and find yourself like "damn is it just me or is this mom looking kinda...."

Think about it: the first “big name” account here was AOC. Most if not all of the leftist thought leaders who bother with social media of any kind are here. Engagement is up, right-wingers are unable to gain traction, and centrists are finally exposed for just being boring/not that good at politics

I've heard the argument that they faced a boycott from the right but the thing about right wing boycotts is they tend to get distracted and forget about it in 3 weeks after they made their TikToks whereas we've been actively laughing at Target for like 10 months now and wanna see them fail.

It's funny cuz there's a world where Disney might've said "eat shit" and stripped affiliate rights from Sinclair and used the power of their More Lawyers Than God to absolutely shove it up the FCC's ass and everyone would've been like "damn okay Mickey" and turned mouse ears into the new pussy hats.

Me to my old posts like

"Okay but you can think about your yaoi after you've written your essay," and other things only said in our house.

Prof I'm RAing for randomly gave me stack of quizzes to grade which means I *need* to buy a fancy red pen and if the book store JUST HAPPENS to be next to the office supply store then I can't really help that can I?

My big win here, if you can call it that, is probably my negative review of Weezer's Teal Album. And a few indie movies.

Even now white people- ESPECIALLY liberals- won't admit that much of this could have been halted or avoided if only they had come to the defense of a Black woman, Claudine Gay, as vigorously as they defend the memory of a dead nazi and signing up to anti-regime lists.

I don't even know how to begin answering this. Uhhhhhh... Iron Monkey? 36th Chamber of Shaolin? Drunken Master 2? Fuck. All of them? Yeah that might be the answer. My favorite kung fu movie is the one I'm watching.

Personally I think we should have a step above Extra Pulp called Chunky.

"Shall we resume our nightly textual analysis," I ask, pulling up Gossip Girl on Netflix.

Wanda is once again done with me reading.

Hey all! I'd like to thank the world's media institutions, and of course the Bluesky mods, for being totally normal and proportional about a barely famous trans woman cracking wise about a Nazi's death.

It's gonna go Areopagitica/Divorce Tracts, Oscar Wilde/Bram Stoker, Ulysses obscenity trial, present day, with the goal of demonstrating how censorship is first and foremost about patriarchal heterosexuality.

Greystar bought out the last apartment complex we lived in and they fucking sucked. Maintenance orders stopped getting responses, they fired everyone in the front office, charged us for missed payments when their payment system went down, upped the cost for assigned parking, raised rent like 15%.

Me showing my spouse your posts

A lot of white people are adamant that Charlie Kirk didn’t deserve to die based off of his views because they hold the same views as him.

Just got to tell my mom it's okay if she doesn't wanna get treatment and decides to die instead, which was neat.

we should organize a poster's strike

When your entire job is to rabble rouse I don't think you should be too shocked when the rabble are roused.

I see some of you dragging a shit take from the fascist site over here to dunk on it, a) why are you still on the fascist site to find that shit, b) why are dropping shit onto this site, c) when you dunk on it you just give it a new audience. Leave shitty fascist takes on the shitty fascist site.

More academia means more Selina telling me when I'm done writing for the day.

Puro pinche.

Doctors I trust more than RFK Jr.

Selfishly I'm glad they removed the terrorism from my classroom tonight but I hope the other classroom is okay :(

Elsewhere by Alexis Schaitkin is fucking sublime.

Annual reminder for my fellow football non-enjoyers out there: You are allowed and in fact encouraged to shut the fuck up and let people enjoy things they like.

AND ANOTHER THING. I'M NOT DEAD. PLEASE DON'T PUT IN THE NEWSPAPER THAT I'M DEAD.

Once again begging film critics to not only read a book but to try and understand it as well.

Son's uncle let him raid the old music hard drive and now he's super into bossanova and honestly all of our lives have improved dramatically.
