> You could slit my throat & with my one last gasping breath I'd apologize for bleeding on your shirt

but only cuz I can't seem to prove "I'm like a piňata if you beat me enough something sweet will come out" is a real Bright Eye lyric

wait...shit...is this (at least in terms of like..the zeitgeist) a Moulin Rouge quote/song?

It's also a lyric in a Gallows song (eary 00s british hardcore band)

Dan Olsen (@foldablehuman) wearing both an outfit and a general affect that evokes a Very Specific Kind Of Guy who is hard to describe but can be identified when he calls himself an "Ape". He is standing in a field, or the appearance of a field and is speaking to neither the camera nor an interlocutor There is a closed caption "Like, the thing is. people don't appreciate this is like, we're in a war"

I dash to find the remote before something I don't want to watch autoplays

I abandon my search for the remote

It is 3AM & I need to find a CF card adaptor

New metric for rating media I've consumed: SFOLD. Said Fuck Out Loud Diversity.

As in I said "fuck", "fuuuuuuck", "FUCK!" and "fyuk†" while watching ep 6 of Invincible but only "FUCK" and "foof††" watching The Boys Ep3

† a fuck interrupted by a laugh
†† a fuck interrupted by an "oof"

I saw a post on reddit joking about helicopters “triggering Vietnam vets” and it’s…funny (…”funny”) to me that the US has been at war for my entire adult lifetime but the general zeitgeist perception of veterans hasn’t been updated in ~60 years.

Probably fine, actually.

Good even.

Dog Park Aquaintence: Why do you have 3 dog tags?
Me: One each per grandfather & one of my own.
DPA: Were your grandfathers in the war?
Me: I mean, they were in the service, but neither left the country...I'm the one who was in the war.
DPA: lol

oh man. I saw this yesterday. I was vaguely aware of time code fuckery because I worked in cable (tv) industry in the pre-digital age (as in digital vs analog cable…there were still computers involved) and my desk was inside the data center next to the AVID(sp? editing) rooms

Oh man. I want to watch The Pitt, but I feel like if I reach a point where I have that kind of confidence in my fortitude against media induced psychic damage I really should go back and finish Bojack first.

The Boys, Invincible, and For All Mankind?

It’s 0630, I can’t sleep, and my Family Trauma Rumination has been interrupted by an unrelated but somehow more(?) upsetting intrusive thought: do “decimated” & “devastated” share a suffix but in the weird/greek way like “helicopter” and “ornithopter”?

Vexing. Most vexing.

That's WILD...right? Like, nothing should work like that?

And before you say Home Ownership, hypothetical focus of my incredulous rage who looks like my dad:
1) It shouldn't
B) The Gov't subsidizes it (it shouldn't)
+) homes -unlike bitcoin?-:
A) are insurable
2) actual things with value

G. Love Loses All His Retirement Savings In Crypto Scam The world of cryptocurrency is full of scammers, and the laid-back Philadelphia blues-rocker G. Love recently learned all about it the hard way. On Saturday, the G. Love & Special Sauce frontman, whos...

I can't stop thinking about (what goes unsaid in) this article about G Love losing ~420K in retirement savings

IE that he "has been into crypto" since '17 when 1BTC was anywhere from $1K to $20K"

That means his unrealized gain was ~400K but like...his loss was ~20K?

My father & I spent ~$10 on the Sierra games 1-900 # because we were stuck at the copy protection point in Ecoquest where you reference the manual for a code to open a door because we were unfamiliar with that as a concept and had spent hours searching for The Manual in the game

Ok, so hear me out. We've done prequels, sequels, reboots, requels, and re-launches. It's all played out. So hear's what I propose: SHOT FOR SHOT REMAKES, BABY.

Tell me you wouldn't watch Timothee Chalamet and Michael Cera in Wayne's World 2028

I think part of why the military left me so ill prepared for the reality of Real Jobs is that in the military there is an art to knowing when it’s important to get things done vs presenting the appearance of getting things done & neither capitalism nor (the black hole that is US culture) values art

I really need to actually write this WTAF blog post before someone steals the concept and gets all the Linkedin clout for themselves.

My billion $$ AI idea is a chat bot that responds “can you provide a WTAF for that question?” along with a link to an internal wiki on the importance of providing what you Wanted, Tried, Anticipated, & Found when asking questions.
Only there is no AI it’s just me being a good people/systems manager

Despite having never participated in a podcast nor recording any form of content; I truly believe I could be the Joe Rogan of the Left given a chance.

Granted if I achieved this status I’d basically be @darth with slightly more overt ACAB takes & considerably worse photo editing skills.
