I did! I guess i just don’t find the comedy funny enough to be worth transforming all the usually respectful male characters into horndogs, and the implication that Jacoby slept with her as part of his treatment is…i dunno.
Bad cocktail idea: lemon balm julep
I gotta say the Widow Milford subplot really grossed me out the last time i watched it.
it’s a great day for transphobes to eat shit
I bought some plants from a guy on my block while John Prine was playing from his speaker, also i got to meet his 4-month-old puppy that he just took home from the shelter last week, i’m crazy jetlagged and it felt impossibly idyllic for a little while
Thought that one of them had a Stars of the Lid tote bag for a minute and was worried about fatal cognitive dissonance but i misread it
Getting on a flight with a large number of MAGA teens, would appreciate thoughts and prayers
Excerpt from 1960 Horizon Magazine: If privacy is hard to find at home, it is almost extinct outside the home. Strangers in the next seat on trains and planes are seldom given to vows of silence, and certainly the airline pilot is no man to leave his passengers to their thoughts. His jovial voice crackles out of the intercom at periodic intervals —generally just when his listeners are dozing off—to impart the latest statistics on ground speed, cruising altitude, and cabin pressure, or to point out "an unusually clear view of Keokuk out the left window." Airplanes have also been infested by canned music, leaving the captive audience aloft no means of escaping and still living to tell the tale. Back on the ground, to find a restaurant, store, railroad station, or bus terminal that doesn't burble with unceasing melody is not easy, nor is it always possible to escape by boarding a bus or taking a walk in the park. Transistor radios, carried everywhere by rock-'n'-roll addicts, have changed all that. If there is one place where a person might expect a decent quietude, it is his doctor's office. Yet RCA is planning a radio network that will pipe canned music and pharmaceutical commercials to 25,000 doctors in eighteen big cities. This raises a whole new criterion for choosing the family physi-cian. Better to have a second-rate healer content with the sound of his stethoscope than an eminent specialist poking to the rhythms of Gershwin. Not even nature is a sure refuge. A plan is now afoot to project advertisements on mountainsides and low-lying clouds. Then there are the roars and vapor trails left by jet
Much to consider
Lyrics to Careers in Combat by Parquet Courts: There are no more summer lifeguard jobs. There are no more art museums to guard. The lab is out of white lab coats, Cause there are no more slides and microscopes. But there are still careers in combat, my son. There are still careers in combat, my son. There are no more roles on TV shows, There are no road-cone dispensing jobs. There are no spots left for park ranger Cause there are no bears left to save you from, But there are still careers in combat, my son. There are still careers in combat, my son.
Pretty solid prediction from 14 years ago
It’s all good I’m up 28-3 in the first half
Man it’s been a great week for people saying/believing deranged shit about me
yeah man i'll circle back to you on that agenda item from yesterday's all hands in just a sec. our pedophile king just threatened to destroy a whole civilization
Most people rejected his message, especially me
I remember Mostly Harmless being a rather joyless, depressing slog but flipping through it recently maybe it’s actually a work of genius that anticipated the evolution of the Internet into a malevolent force that destroys the world in order to give you your immediate desires?
This is the entirety of r/books
Poster for the film Death Promise with the tagline: A WARNING TO THE RICH. GET OFF OUR BACKS. IF YOU'RE A FAT, FILTHY RICH LANDLORD YOU'LL BURN IN HELL AND, I AM GOING TO SEND YOU THERE.
Have been flipping through These Fists Break Bricks and every few pages there’s a poster that goes hard in a way i didn’t even realize was possible
Have had hiccups for most of the day, anyone know how i can get hold of Jordan Peterson? I need the hook-up for that induced coma thing.
“A rapid view of fun that’s new” is already rattling around my brain in a way i do not enjoy
Not even…
Idk if it counts, my parents decided i was old enough for Catch-22 when i was about 11. I think they were right, i definitely found it eye-opening and upsetting but also very funny.
Yeah i probably read it around 11 or so - tbh i think i did ok in terms of the Holocaust content, i had met a survivor of Auschwitz and basically understood what happened, but the excerpt from his underground comic about his mom kinda freaked me out
The main things i’ve seen him in are Coherence and Psycho Beach Party, i also saw his extremely brief debut in Children of the Corn 3: Urban Harvest (very entertaining movie for the record)
A little covid should balance the humours
I'm sorry ma'am, but your son perished on Kharg Island in a valiant effort to create Wii Bowling meme videos for the White House X account. In the face of danger, he was not cringe; he was based to his last breath. Please have this commemorative Epic Fury challenge coin. Yes that's Punisher, ma'am
Among Trueman's books are John Owen: Reformed Catholic, Renaissance Man, The Creedal Imperative, Fools Rush in Where Monkeys Fear to Tread: Taking Aim at Everyone, and Republocrat: Confessions of a Liberal Conservative.
gotta hand it to him, he’s written the perfect book
My impression is that he was probably always an opportunist but not a devious trojan horse - i don’t think his commitment to alienating 90% of his base happens without the stroke.
I'd have more respect for them if they shot those schoolgirls at point-blank range. What are they sacrificing by pressing a button?
“direct your anger at trump not the democrats” buddy you are severely underestimating the amount of anger i have available to me
Sometimes living in the evil death country feels pretty bad
New — I spoke to eight trans people in Kansas about the new state law that invalidated their driver’s licenses overnight, what’s it’s like to live there right now, plus details of two DMV emails exclusively obtained by The Handbasket that shed light on the law’s chaotic and cruel rollout:
