2008: Epstein is convicted of procuring a minor for prostitution

2018: Despite that conviction, [files indicate] he was invited by Rowling’s team - along with a guest of his choosing - to the Broadway opening of Harry Potter and the private after-party

Protecting women and children, is it?

We were trying to figure that out, with mixed success

no, that’s just one we keep putting off because we want to do justice to it

Catching up on "Comrade Girls, Shoot the Enemy". Oh to be at the Soviet all-girls elite sniper school to learn how to best kill nazis

it was an interesting idea but it would have been a huge time sink and they wanted more and more of it written before committing to anything

oh, we were in talks to do a book and then it never happened

everyone’s a critic

an M18A1 claymore mine photoshopped not brilliantly so the casing reads FRONT TOWARD WEEZER

presenting: the mine for when you want to kill every member of weezer in a 60 degree arc within a distance of 50 to 100 metres

I think it shows serious personal strength that you haven't fallen victim to getting WAY too into Ska as a result of this

they’re also sometimes called ‘spectator shoes’ because they were first worn by golfers and cricketers to add a bit of visual interest to a leisure activity. so I guess the modern equivalent is a shoe that says you’re a gamer who fucks a lot and I shudder to think

I’m not sure if there’s a shoe you can wear now that indicates you’re going to cuckold someone

just aesthetically I always have a real weakness for black and white together that I’m going to blame on liking The Hives too much at an impressionable age. but look at these things! they look like the space shuttle!

unfortunately these are now thought of as some shit you wore in the 1920s to play golf despite them at the time being essentially named Mr Fucks Your Wife Shoes

like a pair of brogues but with white and brown leather, you know?

incidentally, this particular style is sometimes called a ‘correspondent shoe,’ which is wrong - it’s a ‘co-respondent shoe,’ as in ‘the other person you name besides your wife in a divorce suit on the grounds of adultery’

they should investigate what happens in my brain whenever I see a shoe that has two different colours of leather on it. neuron activation doesn’t begin to cover it

Tran Girlismo Episode 1: What Is Going On With "Car Culture"

OKAY I figured out the issue with Spotify integration. It is now fixed and you can hear all future free episodes at this link, so update subscriptions accordingly; I apologize for the confusion, this is my first time hosting on Patreon open.spotify.com/show/1JL5pCb...

I would be thrilled to come on to talk about anything

Cafe at The Portland art museum has Rothko no. 5 cakes. Something intellectually meaty about seeing the painting in person, and then eating a cake copy. The complete experience. Full spectrum.

They're hosted on Patreon; I'm making 95% of them (including, of course, our first episode) free, and you can get the RSS feed plugged into your favorite podcasting app here: www.patreon.com/public-rss/7...

omg yes fantastic

TRAN GIRLISMO: THE REAL PODCAST SIMULATOR (in the style of a certain playstation game)

hello I am launching my very own podcast with @jordanjamboree.pittbert.gay where we (mostly casually!) chat about car culture in the decline of the American empire, auto racing, and industry news interspersed with tales of our former auto journo careers. we call it TRAN GIRLISMO

so I can only conclude that this guy has been working through the sims buy mode catalogue until he got one that worked

but the punchline (so far) is that the third one is by some margin the nicest washing machine I have ever seen in my life. I can’t hear it running when I’m standing next to it. I think it uses lasers or something. the previous two I would categorise as ‘normal washing machine’

now I don’t want to jinx it

call him again. ‘no problem, I’ll be there tomorrow with another new one I already have.’ shows up 8:30am today, takes the old one out, installs the new one.

shows up 8:30am Tuesday, takes the old one out, installs the new one. that evening the new one explodes and pisses water all over the floor

this is Friday night. call the maintenance guy, who seemingly is at the pub. ‘no problem, I’ll be there Tuesday with a new one I already have’ thank you king I have no questions about this, enjoy your evening

if I ever seem stressed one reason why is that my landlord is doing muscle confusion to me. as a case study:
last week our washing machine exploded. just ripped itself and the concrete block at its base apart and pissed water all over the floor. amazing
