ongoing joke in my relationship is that i keep dragging joe to go see black country new road. tonight will be the third time. he was a pearl jam teen, he doesn't get it. i was a owen pallett teen, seeing a a trumpet played by an adult theater kid is part of my culture

KIM KITSURAGI - "What is it, detective? Can you make it out?" BULLET - "if you read this you are gay lmao" 1. "It, um, doesn't say anything." 2. "Transgender ideology. My old foe." 3. [Espirit de Corps - Medium 10] "I think you should read it for yourself, Kim."

damn is this the solar bones sequel

feel like the evolution of trite pop psych into "using chatgpt for everything gives women a break from the unfair mental load burden" like its that simple makes me feel insane. theres nuances to it but i cant get behind this "ACTUALLY its feminism to use the machine that makes you stupider"

reading bruce fink of a sunday... yes i "fink" i will 🤭

you're supposed to have caffeine after a lumber puncture so actually this ultra strawberry dreams zero sugar monster is MEDICINAL

i love to use the internet

im gonna need to see more lechonks in the airport STAT

unintentionally dressed like an ira lad today, only missing the big moustache

RIP Dave Taylor. Always enjoyed his work from early UK work to Tongue Lash to Batman to 2000ad. Some remarkable depictions of Mega City One over the years 1/2

new way of cutting toast invented by the good people of the airport wetherspoons

sewing: look at this huge butternut squash in tesco!! reaping: sweating profusely trying to peel and dice said squash

spent the past two days going around connemara and the burren. overwhelmed by the majesty of the natural world hehe :)

they didn't put on music during my mri today so i was treated to the full mri noise repertoire. got your traditional "durr durr", "the theatrical group STOMP", "someone playing a guitar with a bow", and one that was new to me, "donkey kong country level"

coulda sworn i met the chinese adidas panda in the big romance

mad reading this case report from the high court in march, a landowner appealing planning permission against nenagh golf course. he used chatGPT (or something similar) to form his submission and it ended up producing what reads as legal sounding nonsense

ok thank god

having a walk and came upon this massive celtic tiger era house at the back of a golf course. very haunted (by irish hubris and tragedy, ig)

I just published the second episode of Right Where You Are Sitting Now, a podcast series about William Burroughs. It's called Routine Excercise. It's 6.5 hours long and features a conversation with @hangsawoman.bsky.social. www.patreon.com/posts/rwyasn... Works covered: Naked Lunch Interzone

This is a really difficult read by Ruwaida Amer in Gaza. I just can't anymore with the barbaric Israeli state. www.972mag.com/hunger-gaza-...

sorry

have been using the phrase "big coffee ideas" since reading this (patricia lockwood on sylvia plath)

bf has to work over the weekend so im doing my bit of pretending im an expensive brunch place. random restaurant bot ahh

mad thing about diplopia is how hard it is to describe. like having trouble reading a book, crossing the road, working on computer... but ppl ask what its like and im like well have you ever seen two things

no i am NOT WINKING at you i have OCULAR myasthenia GRAVIS (doctors THINK) and my prism glasses do not fully fix my DIPLOPIA and i need to SHUT ONE EYE to read posts ON THE LUAS. like and rt if you agree

made some bracelets with my sister

went ikea this weekend, forgetting it is hell. 3 hrs walking, roasting, crowded, no natural light or fresh air, constantly confronted by how tidy your house "could be" if only you had "storage solutions". an unethical experiment psychologists came up with to see if they could make couples fight

not to be glib about something serious, but this bit from the state pathologist's annual report is raising more questions for me than it answers

have become very fond of miffy's friend boris

why doesn't every guy have a moustache. seems like an easy win, but cowardice prevails ig 🤷‍♀️

upon further inspection that last part might be misinformation en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthday

these sheldons keep getting younger but we stay the same age

have had a run of good books lately:

me @ 14 when i got to be first flute in the youth orchestra

Killer7 is officially 20 years old.

while we're on the topic of videogames, if like me you are a fan of 2014s sherlock holmes: crimes and punishments, i recommend the thaumaturge. AA ps3 vibes, just perfect. strange voice acting choices, running around spaces hammering the button to highlight items, weird clipping in cutscenes 🙏😌

vending machine news (interspecies edition)

can this man be trusted to fly a 757

got a happy pear cook book in the charity shop for €1, its all written in the first person plural ("we"). they recommend not having too much caffeine but admit that sometimes "we share an espresso"?? real freak shit

something has unlocked in me. im walking around all day, cant stop saying "most barnacles are encrusters"

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1292%E2... there was a papal election that lasted 2 years, a hermit monk sent the electors a letter that god would punish them if they kept delaying the election, then out of spite(?) they just elected him. he was not a happy pope and resigned 6 months later

salad season lets goo

im a machine that turns rocks into swallowed rocks

two idiots and me (more tunnel)

a few kind listeners who work in bookshops/places that tolerate flyers asked if there's something they can print out and put up to promote the show. The result is below. I would really appreciate anyone who felt like doing this but no pressure at all, ofc. (yes, this is my big year three promo push)

bbno$ is just nerdcore for a generation where the alternative cultural cache of "liking xkcd" has been replaced with "wanting to be pegged by a goth milf"

from Gass's lenghty instructions on the printing and typesetting of the tunnel
