We’re gonna make it through this together, pal.

Bro I'm not gonna lie there's a lot of cynicism and fatigue in my soul bro. Bro I don't know if the endless wellspring of hope in my heart has run dry bro but I'm trying. I'm trying bro.

A massive problem today is the uneven distribution of shame. Some of us are running dedicated on-site shame servers 24/7 while others have no access to shame at all, even though they desperately need it. What we need to do is put shame in the cloud

There is nothing doper than having a friend go pick a record. Sooo fucking fun love that shit.

Records are so much cooler than any other audio format. Sometimes I imagine shit on my turntable if I’m streaming it. It just looks cool, and it requires active listening because you have to get up in 5-20 minutes to flip it. None of this “endless play” bullshit.

!!!!

online friendship is crazy. like yeah we go way back. we talk about weird shit exclusively and we've seen each other in person between zero and four times

I must not skeet bannable things. Skeeting bannable things is the mind-killer. Skeeting bannable things is the gateway to total permaban. I will face my bannable skeet anger. I will permit it to pass over me & through me. And when it has gone past I will put it in the group chat. And it will be lit.

DAMN, I LOVE GREEN YURI

My coffee with soymilk, or two bean soup if you will.

this really does say it all unfortunately

I think it's funny when I tell people I'm from LA and they try to either hem and haw about here or shock me with a "it sucks". Like it does. LA sucks. There are much better cities than here. I love it here, but we blow. I will gladly die in this city but believe me, it sucks, I know.

The new diddy doc is insane but I must not cry about 2pac and Biggie

ruction and it will be completed. There will be a few pockets of progressive wins. We'll live in a new digital age of unparalleled surveillance, but the economy will be okay, and we'll have a new show to watch. 10 years from now we'll go full fasc if gen z/alpha doesn't burn it all down.

Here's my cynical take. Trump will complete his term. We'll get a wet blanket of a "unity"/"move forward" dem in his place. All horrific human rights violations will continue, but we won't care bc its not in our cities anymore. No one will be returned home. The ballroom will still be under const-

ohhh man do you feel that do you feel it I am CLOSE

oh totally if someone said that to me or about me I would lose my SHIT but like. at least intellectually I can masturbate about being not TOO bothered by it or what have you.

on one hand, language is meant to evolve so we have more words to describe specific things and I am helpless to this and raging against it is futile on the other hand I am 30 or 40 years old and i do not need this.

Alfred Kubin (1877-1959), “Every Night We Are Haunted by a Dream” (1900).

The “Squidward looking out the window while SpongeBob and Patrick play outside” meme. Squidward is labeled with an American flag. SpongeBob is labeled with a Guardian headline that reads “‘Foam that’s washed away’: Support dissolves as Bolsonaro starts 27-year prison term.” Patrick is labeled with a NPR headline that reads “One year on from martial law crisis, South Korea celebrates its democracy’s resilience”

On one hand, having users who are really dedicated to the product even tho its really not that big or important gives me job security. On the other, I get constant passive aggressive remarks for things that genuinely do not matter.

You know when your friend has an ex, or worse, current partner who's very mid and you want to tell them but you can't bc they're not in a place to hear it? Lame.

Crimes of the Future (David Cronenberg, 2022)

Elizabeth Taylor in an 80s press conference speaking on the stigma of AIDS “…And it so angered me that I finally thought to myself, Bitch, do something yourself.” from the documentary “Elizabeth Taylor: The Lost Tapes.”

there’s a scene in the new documentary where Elizabeth Taylor is talking about the stigma of AIDS and how she got involved in the movement and it’s fucking everything

Once the Jumbo’s pizza oven disappeared and the poles showed up, its legacy as an adult entertainment hub for off-duty chefs, line cooks, celebrities in the food world looking to blow off steam after service was sealed.
