Something to remember about Ben Sasse is if he wasn't rich he'd almost certainly be dead by now, and he believes poor people don't deserve the healthcare he is currently enjoying.

Do you think if the minutemen knew they'd invent the red hot chili peppers they would have done the right thing and set themselves on fire without ever recording any music

"Damn, son, you ride the clock so much I oughta call you Harold Lloyd!"

Always heard it was stained

They should have let Robert Altman take a swing at the Muppets

Soon it will be Judy's turn to cry

Local bar is having "emo night" and posts a vid of the night's band doing a Blink 182 song and the anger I feel at myself for caring even slightly is without a bottom

In the car with my nu-metal loving brother, playing "Down By The Water" by PJ Harvey. When it finished, he said, "bitch got issues."

Semi-related: a friend at a restaurant kept playing Radiohead in the kitchen and one of the dishwashers said "I don't know what that bitch is saying but she sounds sad as hell'

Clerk at Circle K: "I tell [my kids] I don't provide any more for you than is required by God. Anything else is out of the goodness of my heart."

I'm constantly shocked by how insane the cereal mascots look these days; the little cinnamon toast guys look like they're on bath salts

I live in Louisiana: people here ransack the grocery store if it rips below 40

I used to hate-listen to a lot of talk radio, and I started hearing warfighter around 2020, but Hegseth is the first actual official I've heard trying to mainstream it. Super stupid.

What if the sick woman in the Bible went to touch the hem of Christ's garment and they were JNCOs

Scooter I'm not so sure

Tom Waits - "Dirt in the Ground" YouTube video by Tom Waits

A song for Ash Wednesday & its message of termination: Waits' ghastly falsetto, the piano tolling slow as churchbells; the swelling and receding of the saxophone as inexorable as breathing, as inexorable as the end of breathing

The young folks will never understand the chokehold this guy had on the country charts for about half a decade

I know it's a regional thing, but I weep for Dunkin people who've never had Southern Maid.
