my limited understanding is that the Killdozer was a technologically inferior vehicle because it lacked the hydraulic "legs" (not sure if that's the right word) designed to stabilize heavy equipment. It's possible these could have helped it out of the cellar hole in which it found itself, at the end
this is quite mysterious. i can't stop thinking about it
That's what I said!
i just know that this is one way the Empire turns its violence inward upon itself, and once you notice it, you can't unsee it. A lifetime of shame and moral injury spools out behind us, trailing into the past. Is that what his deal is? Or is he just an arrogant rich kid who didnt get famous enough?
idk why im fascinated. Maybe because he's my age, because he went to fancy school? Our specific generational cohort seems to want to poison itself to death. This guy had everything and decided to self-destruct. Is it him? Fame? Expectations? He's kind of insulated from material conditions... idk 🤷🤷🤷
what is he doing in New Hampshire? Why was he housebreaking in New Hampshire, of all places, where we all own at least one gun?? This is like the worst place to be a famous, or not-so-famous, junkie. Why is he busting into hoity-toity prep schools? I should contact him and get his life story.
this guy probably shot dope with Mickey Avalon (ewww)... imagine the ever-glamorous Cher coming to visit him in the Rockingham County can... it's like, there's some kind of poignant zeitgeist stuff here: our parents are demigods and we're just earthbound dope addicts who cant get out of our own way.
i had to go look this guy up since there was no information whatsoever in this news article. He's my age, incarcerated like 15 minutes away from here, went to the Hyde School (i partied with a few of those kids in Portland, absolute legendary dirtbags, almost certainly dead now)... Diagnosis: famous
Obama dropped more bombs than Bush on seven countries, bailed out the banks, sent the national guard to indigenous land protectors and deported 3.2 million people. Hopefully never.
maybe i shouldnt scoff, at least this thing has a trailer hitch. technically my car could have a trailer hitch. i wonder why it doesnt. could be useful. maybe i should get fun stuff like spoilers and ground effects and other such aftermarket nonsense for my ancient car. DPR decal wrap?? idk.......
i feel you

this place can't decide whether it is rural proper or a suburb of Boston. Schizoidal. But there's a sidewalk now. Stuff gentrified and the tax increased and the rent jumped. (late-night infomercial voice) there's gotta be a better way!!!
ohhhh the dog loves you
i saw the movie and was disappointed it wasn't like how i was led to believe the games were
im very glad 🥰
i wonder if you can get a big bag of used legos for cheap from ebay or someplace (you probably already thought of this in which case please disregard)

Americans are trained, culturally and politically, to see their own leaders as fundamentally legitimate actors who sometimes make “mistakes,” while leaders in rival or non-aligned countries get framed as inherently illegitimate “regimes,” not governments. It's obvious now more than ever.
I can think of no better example of fandom/cult behavior having a deleterious effect on politics than everyone slobbering over Barack Obama
i love you
i am reminded of the anxiety i felt as a pedestrian in this area before there was a smidgen of meaningful sidewalk installed as a token afterthought; walking home in darkness, occasionally blinded by high beams, twin globes of fiery light like the eyes of some predatory hellbeast... it sucked! 👎👎
The interests of the bourgeoisie demand the embellishment of capitalism and the concealment of the gulf that divides the classes. The interests of the proletariat demand the exposure of capitalism and of the exploitation of wage-labour
the article compares Ludlow to DeQuincey who, as i've said before, was "a real one", who understood what it was like to be homeless, evincing certain tells immediately recognizable to those who also survived. And last night, on into the morning, i was reading Maxim Gorky, who offers the same insight
People understand that the reason colonisers colonized the world is because they lost access to Asia via Palestine in 1291, right?
The cast of Cartoon Planet back in the day.
It’s obvious a large swathe of people treat pointing out the bloody legacy of U.S. presidents as an inconvenience to their brand as it disrupts the sentimental consensus many still want to maintain around those figures. A coalition built on nostalgia and selective amnesia will never challenge power.
yeah, i think youre right... takes forever to get around to plant-putting-outside weather up here... *sigh*
