@jackob1.bsky.social @pallavi.bsky.social @milesofgray.bsky.social When my son was 18mos old, not really thinking about it (despite seeing the movie in the theater as an 11yo and wtr-icing myself), I threw Jurassic Park on, and I looked at my child as the T-Rex ate toilet dude, and his eyes were 😳

You know shit is getting real on the ground when @hanrahan.tv has something to say about the US

@kavehmd.bsky.social I’m not done with the ep yet, but having a plastic surgeon on to talk about what people are looking for in addition to the other two guests (Gare 🫶🏻) is brilliant. I am so weirdly interested in this breakdown I’m currently listening to at about 14-16 mins in

@jackob1.bsky.social @milesofgray.bsky.social Wait wait wait wait. Back the fuck up on this “Cool World” connection to Sydney Sweeney I don’t know the latter enough to connect it to the former, which is a movie I saw ~way too young~ the first time lol

@oldmanweldon.bsky.social I know you’re on leave and probably a bunch of other people have likely sent this to you, but my friend’s caption made me laugh..he’s not unlike you temperamentally lol

@kavehmd.bsky.social wonderful guest this week 💞

@jackob1.bsky.social @milesofgray.bsky.social I only just started the Elvis ep, but I’m dying bc one of my uncles was/is obsessed with Elvis lol. He had (maybe still has?? Idk) a clock that was something like this 70s beauty right here lol:

@jackob1.bsky.social alternate (or maybe added) reason that GenZ is broadly afraid to poop at work: pandemic. As the parent of a firmly mid-GenZ aged kid who is now a working adult, I think we don’t have even remotely a clue all of and what kind of traumas will stick with them

@milesofgray.bsky.social @jackob1.bsky.social

@iwriteok.bsky.social ty for this week’s eps. When I was 22 (in 2003, fuck I’m old), I worked at a place with a 70-something year old guy who was weirdly adamant that we HAD TO drop the nukes on Japan. And I didn’t know enough at that time to know what to say. Ty for being a research hound /teacher

@milesofgray.bsky.social @jackob1.bsky.social

@jackob1.bsky.social I promise you, this is an actual friend of mine on FB that I have known since 6th grade, and I am 44 years old lol

I’m just going to post a couple 80s songs/videos that my gay older “brother” put onto cassette mix tapes for my mom and I when I was a wee child in the 80s Which is a good segue: youtu.be/x1U1Ue_5kq8?...

@milesofgray.bsky.social @jackob1.bsky.social He’s not writing his own “truths” nor is he making any of the AI slop. Idk if y’all just can’t say that for reasons.. but come on..

@jackob1.bsky.social sir…I know it’s old news to keep one’s 12ft skeleton up all year round..but also? Entirely acceptable. My boomer mom got weird about putting ours away for winter so it doesn’t get “damaged.” Ma’am. It’s made of materials that will still be here when the sun caves in on itself

@derekberes.bsky.social not sure which of you to tag about this, but I was just made aware of this through TrueAnon, and it has me crying laughing and intrigued, particularly as an ex-Mormon, but also apparently this is the only legal way to get mummified within the US?? Wild lol www.summum.us

@oldmanweldon.bsky.social There was probably a better way to send this, but this was what I could muster at 10:45pm (I am a fellow elderly person)

Trump has not been in control of his “Truth Social” acct for ages. I’m not over here “BlueAnon-ing” Listen to him speak, and then read his “truths” That there is that lady who used to follow him around with a printer.. or someone like her Oh you forgot about that lady? #trump

@milesofgray.bsky.social @jackob1.bsky.social There was a painted portrait found in (I think) the New York Epstein condo of Bubba in the blue dress, ALLEGEDLY. I also have been seeing stuff about Ghislane’s horse being named Bubba, but I can neither confirm nor deny

@prophiphop.bsky.social the tap in with that track gave me chills..ty

Dear White Bigots, It’s pronounced, “mom-don-ee“

@jackob1.bsky.social a friend of mine has aphantasia and posted this article about it a while back. I see and hear things very clearly in my head, so it’s been an extremely interesting thing to learn about over the last few years www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

@milesofgray.bsky.social I have sort of the opposite w/ my cousins. I was the only child of my mom, but her one older brother had 6 kids from 1st wife (and *9* stepkids from 2nd wife..yes, 15, they’re Mormons lol) and I was the youngest, so they bullied the shit out of me when we were little 😅

My essay is up at @literaryhub.bsky.social about the late, great Lana Clarkson and other promising young women whose lives have been derailed or destroyed by men. It’s also about my childhood sexual abuse and how I have tried, and failed, to reckon with it. lithub.com/on-promising...

@jackob1.bsky.social @milesofgray.bsky.social My rural VT town’s Halloween costume results: - Ghost face masks: one (1) - That K-pop demon hunter show: zero(?)..but some other anime shows I also know nothing about and they wouldn’t elaborate? - one (1) 67, with gestures - so much retro 80s

@kavehmd.bsky.social My “fucked me up” horror movie was Child’s Play. A friend of mine when I was like ten put it on bc it was her “favorite movie” and I was NOT prepared lol (I love all things horror and spooky now though!)

@jackob1.bsky.social @milesofgray.bsky.social Underrated: pigeons Overrated: bald eagles (with caveats)

@jackob1.bsky.social you’re doing it right with those little boys. As a mom of a big grown up 20yo boy, while being the same age as you

@coolzonemedia.bsky.social pls for the love of pod, release the Bo Gritz files. I paid for the live stream, but accidentally got too high before realizing it was going to be about Bo Gritz, and I couldn’t finish the show (edibles amirite) TLDR: my mom has Veteran’s benefits today because of Bo Gritz

@milesofgray.bsky.social as a fellow only child, that frisbee shit washed over me like no big deal, and then @jackob1.bsky.social calling you out sent me 🥲😆

Do I actively wish death on right wing grifters who actively make everyone’s lives worse? No. I’m too busy surviving Am I sad when one of them gets hoisted by their own petard? Absolutely not Anyway, back to surviving

@milesofgray.bsky.social if I recall correctly, the virulent anti-Muslim biker gang in Gaza was talked about in the book Fort Bragg Cartel by Seth Harp, who was recently making the lefty pod circuit. Harrowing, super good book

Me out here learning about @altwatcher.bsky.social from @coolzonemedia.bsky.social and I couldn’t resist coming on here to be like “that mf’r sounds like Patrick Warburton” Good on ya sir, keep doing what you’re doing

@milesofgray.bsky.social I moved all over the inland empire before moving to the east bay during my child/teenhood, and I’m doin’ ok (44 with a 20yo VT-raised son now) They’re bouncy for a long time as long as you love the shit out of them

@dailyzeitgeist.bsky.social @jackob1.bsky.social @milesofgray.bsky.social @andrewti.bsky.social I came in sometime around 2021, and you do just.. kinda gotta let it wash over and go with it Now I get ALLLLL the delightfully dumbass jokes #wutterice

@milesofgray.bsky.social @jackob1.bsky.social The aliens on the 3I/Atlas peed themselves

I watched 28 Years Later and liked it a lot right up until the final scene (that shit felt like a studio addition, but idk, I don’t care, it shouldn’t have been there) But also..so much discourse about how much zombie dick is in this movie. Did everyone miss the boobies and WHOLE PREGNANT LADY?

@prophiphop.bsky.social for my part, I was listening to the Marxism episode while driving around a very ritzy touristy area of Maine and I just kinda tuuuuurned the volume up and rolled the windows down 😆

@prophiphop.bsky.social Delton 3030

@jackob1.bsky.social it sounds like you were pretty Knott’s-pilled by the end there, but as an ex-CA folk, can confirm, Knott’s is underrated, def take your kids!

@dailyzeitgeist.bsky.social @milesofgray.bsky.social @jackob1.bsky.social Millennials might be looked back upon as the generation that showed their kids some real fucked up movies way before they were ready lol..showed my now-20yo Army of Darkness at 4 and Jurassic Park at literally 1.5 😳

They’re predators

Peter Thiel is like dollar store John Cena minus any charisma whatsoever

@prophiphop.bsky.social I hadn’t seen the Tyler video yet, amazing 😆🥰

This is it. This is the peak of my comedy on this planet. I shall diminish and go into the west

Dear humanity, It’s actually extremely abnormal for a species to have a death wish - A Human

The crisis of masculinity is in the most power that has ever existed on this planet, in case that wasn’t clear by now
