Trevor Hale

It’s that time of year again where every night I look at the clock around midnight only to discover it’s like 5:42pm.

The day started with Dick Cheney dying and just kept getting better.

Just learned that it’s been six years since IG removed the “following” tab that ruined all the fun, but also stopped all of us from hurting our own feelings. RIP.

Me, when my ear finally pops after having a head cold for three days.

YouTube video by Epitaph Records Propagandhi - "Victory Lap"

The day the rapture came
A forgettable event
The clouds, they opened up
And not a single person went
To the chromatic whistle of a carousel calliope
Stomp the citizens of our clown, idiot, dingbat society

I feel like the Yankees play the Red Sox every 12 days, but the Dodgers and Giants haven’t played yet and we’re 2.5 months into the season? Nuts.

I got surprisingly emotional listening to Marc Maron talk about ending his show.

Politicians are the dumbest people alive.

People on TikTok are like “I have the hottest tea if you live in Utah…” and it’s just something that was in both newspapers and the top story on every local news social media account.

Getting used to wearing my hearing aids regularly again (had to get new ones), and now I have the misfortune of having to actually hear things. Crazy that y’all have to do this all the time.

Just realized (because of the Post Malone show) that the only real upside to the Bees moving to Daybreak is that I don’t have to hear fireworks every three days all summer.

The Most Important Thing I’ve Ever Written In which we search for the most delicious meal.

The world is mostly bad, but at least I have the story of a little orange cat named Garbanzo to bring some joy.

I don’t watch actual movies anymore, I only watch YouTube reaction videos for movies I’ve seen one thousand times.

It’s good that Twitter/FB weren’t around back then, but I would have LOVED to see the internet meltdowns and hot takes when Madonna released TRUTH OR DARE in 1991.

“Life Coach” and “Consultant” are the two biggest scams jobs out there and I desperately want to be part of that racket.

But I’m also a little worried it’s going to give Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer some ideas.

I was mad about this for a full minute before I realized it was The Onion.

I ASSURE YOU, WE'RE OPEN In which I work my way through Kevin Smith's surprisingly prolific catalogue.

I watched all of Kevin Smith's movies again. I still do not enjoy TUSK.

I’m happy to see that no matter how popular HC becomes, it will be forever impossible to make a slick music video that’s not wildly embarrassing.

My face, every time Ticketmaster said “These seats are no longer available.”

I drank two Red Bulls on my drive home from Las Vegas last night, which is two more than I’ve ever had before in my life, and I thought my heart was going to explode.

My biggest problem with blocking all the dorks in the new administration on social media is that now I can’t see who else is following them. That used to be my vetting process for people I might have to work with.

I feel like he left a few things out of that second paragraph, but that’s probably part of the problem.

By The Numbers In which we take a look back through my 2024 pop culture spreadsheet.

Wrote about my year in pop culture and all the stuff I liked.

HBO Max does this, too. It drives me insane.

Saw ANORA last night, and this morning I asked my parents to come out of retirement so I can be a trust fund kid. They said no again which, I think, is very selfish.

Wait, so you’re telling me that the ‘InfoWars of Hardcore’ guy wasn’t sincere about anything? I’m shocked. Shocked, I tell you.

The first recipe I saved in n my new cooking app was “Microwave Baked Potato” which is probably self-explanatory and very on brand.

It drives me insane.
