Further proof that getting rid of me is an expensive L

Me: “Dang, dude. It’s so nice outside! Why’s nobody enjoying the weather after all that rain?”

The homie Chris: “Um, nobody wants to get fuckin’ shot…”

Me: “True, true”

Reminder 👇👇👇

This is beyond NYC levels of color blocking. I must come to Vancouver to study the drip

Jan 6th, 2021 is proof of Zeynep Tufekci’s theory that YouTube (along with 4Chan, 8Chan, and Reddit) is the great radicalization engine of our time.

Wait, the same place where Taxstone is currently locked up?

Congress couldn’t even stand up to support federal workers. You’re bugging if they’re about to do anymore more than strongly worded letters, re: Venezuela

“At the heart of the scheme, Drake — acting directly and through willing and knowledgeable co-conspirators — has deployed automated bots and streaming farms to artificially inflate play counts of his music across major platforms, such as Spotify,”

Hold up, isn’t this what he accused Kendrick of?!

ARSENAL!!!

Reminder: Jon Stewart and Stephen showed us that they were politically unserious when they hosted that “Rally for Sanity.” The Daily Show is a pox on American political discourse. Infotainment is an insult to the public

Can they bring back the simple, boxy 200 and 700 series? Lemme get a 240 Wagon with a more powerful engine and a 6-speed manual transmission

POLO COLOGNE IN THE GREEN BOTTLE

I’ve always hated driving automatic transmission cars. Especially newer ones whose design is counter-intuitive

Every Christmas the NY Times tells us to “Remember the Neediest” and “Give back to yr communities.” Yet this is the same paper that has banged the drum for war and refuses to endorse social safety nets that other OECD countries take for granted. The hypocrisy is a feature, not a bug. Merry Christmas

If you think about it, this is an insane flex.

Daaaaaaaang

You ever have random Interpol lyrics pop up into your head. Man…of all the “Post punk revival” hype, Interpol deserved all the hype. But they couldn’t maintain the momentum of those first two albums. In a perfect world, they’d be as big as The Cure circa 1989/90.

Wearing a mask on the plane during holiday travel isn’t a life hack. It’s a necessity.

Bring back mixtapes.

Some of the most irritating music trends on social media:
1) AI generated videos of cover versions done in a different genre from the original (eg a soul cover of “Enjoy the Silence”

2) Slowed + reverbed anything

3) Sped up anything

Would rather listen to (or read) Rollins than any of these herbs clogging up the internet.

I’ll probably be sad about being part of the 67% for a very long time. But from 2020 to 2025, I had the best job of all time. A job I worked insanely hard to get, a job that pushed me to work harder than I’d ever worked for people I’d never meet. Being a civil servant is really cool 🫡

Streaming quality was absolute rubbish. Normally I’d say leave this one to the experts, but when was the last time any of us watched a fight on PPV, Showtime, or HBO?!

KNICKS!

Post-SOTY footy surge

Hell is a college bar at last call. They’re playing “Sweet Caroline” and “Mr Brightside” on repeat, it’s absolutely rammed and no one is leaving, and the place reeks of old socks because the lines haven’t been cleaned in days.

KNICKS

Ancient Aliens is easily one of the Top Five Most Racist Shows ever made
