My mom, high on morphine and very very sick in the hospital messaged me this accidental poem today

Let “The Fog” choose

A Northern Cardinal kicks up snow as he hops along the boardwalk railing. From this angle he looks like he has tiny little wings for a Cardinal.

“Come Dancing” by the Kinks was a US #6 hit in 1983. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #thekinks #EveryHitSongEver

You get a lot more bang for your buck if you pick a constantly employed studio player from the golden era. I’m thinking some like Flora Robson, Henry Daniell or Edward Everett Horton

If I had an ex whose other choices of partner were Keith Olbermann, Mark Sanford, and RFK Jr., I would not advertise that fact.

I’m a big supporter of performative reading. Almost always indistinguishable from actual reading. A gateway activity, as it were

Happy for these guys. Go build your city, spiders. Leave humanity behind.

When I was a kid there was an offshoot of the Movieland Wax Museum in Buena Park dedicated to biblical tableaux. Same vibes

If you ever wondered what it would be like to shit in a mausoleum…

A sMaLL tReAt 🤪🤑

I know for a fact that I’m not going to see anyone stealing food, whether or not it happens in my eyeline

Post a perfect album from 1989, a perfect music year.

With all this deeply creepy AI boyfriend/girlfriend/family discourse, it was kind of Nick Offerman to roll in with the best possible advice.

I find myself reminded of Gravity’s Rainbow too often this year 🚀

This is very good reading, though “corporate and natural persons” always makes me retch a little

a good arbiter of how close we are to bad hybrid regime shit is if the political comedy shows start getting pulled for whatever reason

Easy choice: D. Though I’m curious to meet the person who would choose A

Stumptown deserved a longer run

#last4albums Post-Eno Roxy Music David Bowie The Muffs

gavin newsom looks like he needs to be given the explicit instruction of “don’t eat it” every time someone hands him a baby

I just blocked a new follow with no posts or replies who was following over 1000 people. No thanks, stranger, I don’t want you screenshotting me over in the Nazi bar

If he dies Biden will attend his state funeral, which would be oddly sublime

September comes in like a lion and goes out like an even bigger, worse lion, with mange and unaddressed personality issues

When half of your resume is cop, I’m going with student/rapper

I’d find it harder to explain all the pimp shit in his lyrics but I guess that’s just me?

The Thing

Up at 3am trying to down my second bottle of Suprep, hell yeah. Someone tell my teen self it does get better!

This is how I know Chat GPT won’t get me. Beyond my never using it, this shit is way too needy. Get a therapist, ChatGPT. I’m not your fucking mother

Rooting for Starship Flight 10 to do the funniest thing ever

In space, Sallie Mae can’t hear you scream

THE SEX MISSILES!

Slightly diminish a band: The Hug Pistols

I take a lot of creepshots of my cat #catsky

I think the simplest way not to get rolled by teenagers in D.C. is not to drive around trying to score drugs. Problem solved, no federal intervention necessary

I can’t figure out the light source in this AI slop, unless there a nuclear explosion happening just outside

Listen, the reaction to the Roy Cooper announcement, basically the only chance at a Democratic senate seat in NC, is all you need to forsake talking politics on this site. There is nothing positive to gain from it.

I know it's foolish but I do occasionally wish that this country had not capped its long history of awfulness by electing the absolute worst person in the world to a position where he could murder and immiserate millions.

I’ll go with: 1) ferocious : McTeague by Frank Norris 2) quiet: Persuasion by Jane Austen 3) decadent: A Rebours (Against Nature) by Karl Huysmans 4) incomparable: Melmoth the Wanderer by Charles Maturin #bqt #bookquestiontime

Nice opportunity to revisit this tweet on the occasion of Colbert’s cancellation

Unreasonably excited about having bought this album #musicsky 🎶

Why not nominate a progressive and then all the centrist pragmatists can ‘vote blue no matter who’ for a change . Come on, show us how it’s done. You can practice with Mamdani

I’m going to go ahead and block the R word because I’m pretty sad to be seeing it used more often on here

An object lesson in hostility to consent

Tuned in to Foundation Season 3 not expecting to see Brother Day fully entrenched in his Lebowski era

The thing about the NYT ‘forgive your family’ opinion piece: he had a family member who wasn’t abusive and had never had power over him. So whatever, go surfing. That’s not what everyone else is talking about. False equivalence is an NYT art form, practiced so well here it’s almost invisible

A truth the New York Times can’t handle

"The morning of June 27th was clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of a full-summer day; the flowers were blossoming profusely and the grass was richly green." Happy Lottery day to you and yours.
