This bumper sticker came to me like a holy vision. I believe it is a prophecy
MOVIE TRIVIA: "Where we're going, we don't need roads" wasn't in the BTTF script. Christopher Lloyd ad-libbed the line after arriving on set in a dangerous mania. He planned to drive the DeLorean prop at top speed into a wall, killing himself and costar Michael J. Fox. The implied destination? Hell.
In your time on this earth you will chance upon works of art. And for some, you'll conclude with desperate rationale that they are the mere capstones of creative lineages unbeknown to you. The alternative explanation—that someone invented them from whole cloth—your ego as an artist will not permit
I need immediate help. I can’t cook, can’t access the fridge, no lights. Anything helps!!! Boosting can get more eyes on this for help.
Smith AND Jones? Forever? in this economy?
You gotta see the planning footage in Shifty if you haven't. I could watch the whole unedited thing and stage it as a play. Line after line of, "How do we say something and yet...also say nothing?"
The scenes in the final episode of Shifty about the planning and creation of the Millennium Dome are pitch-black found-footage comedy. Like Curtis stumbled onto a forgotten Iannucci in the BBC archives.
You ever read that Graeber essay where he attributes "teen rebellion" to that being the point in a person's life when they figure out that all other people operate exactly the opposite of they way they were told to operate AND THEN have adult(s) tell them "Tough shit"? The existential betrayal.
ahhhhhhh I love it!!!
it would be a fitting end, right? real fatal consequences from a fictional evil character
Our adult nephew came over to hang out a couple months ago and asked for some paper to just sit and draw with me for a while and it was overwhelming how touched I was.
Absolutely and without reservation seconding everything Jess says in this thread. I think all the time about Lynda Barry carefully and dutifully copying the drawings of her students into her own sketchbooks to learn from them and loving most especially the art from adults who think they can’t draw.
It's true! Violently clashing flavors of concertgoing!!
Happy to help provide inescapable brain worms!
I have done that a couple times because people have asked things like, “Where was that thing you wrote about the hospital comedies or whatever?” and I’d hustle to track it down. Thank you for playing it and remembering this part!
still remembering that bit from Tonight Dies The Moon by @tommchenry.bsky.social about the male nurse dramas pastebin.com/ngxqnfuv
One of my favorite things I ever wrote and I basically hid in a game haha.
I was about to complain about the visibly heterosexual man who chose to stand directly in front of me in full holding-space-in-the-pit stance in a 3/4 empty club, but this story fucking wins
It was a night of normal people
one simply cannot escape that we have all gone feral
my mastery of kitchen table issues is simply too great!
When I moved closer to the stage they somehow followed me. I felt like I was losing my mind.
well and also: not state rep yet, but it was hard to fit the context of "candidate" into the allotted character limit
I cannot believe the size of the font on this phone that was as bright as the fucking sun. You would have thought it was safety signage in a dangerous workplace.
POKEMON GO TO THE BACK OF THE VENUE
I tried to represent the effect visually through the medium of text and image
anyway, I liked music better when it wasn't so political lol
went to live music tonight and the man in front of me had his phone brightness to max and is some kind of campaign lawyer for a state rep. a bunch of negative oppo hit DURING THE CONCERT and he gathered his pals together to strategize DURING THE CONCERT BY SIMPLY SHOUTING STRATEGIES OVER THE SONGS
Happens to the best of us brother
