I'm afraid to fly for the first time in my life.

Like I bet in the break room one Air traffic controller suggests "you know we just let one crash.. bet we get paid a little faster." And another responds "Jesus Christ Jason you can't say that." But then they smirk and decide just a little one.

As if that has anything to do with the spirit of my post.

Snap benefits being on pause as the White House gets a ballroom has to be as close as we've been to "let them eat cake" ammiright?

Uh.. guys?

I feel like Coors should be cheaper at Coors Field. Not that I want to drink that anyway, I'm just saying.

In an effort to complete all of Wes Anderson I just watched The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar on Netflix. It's short, less than an hour but fantastically done. Benedict Cumberbatch at his best.

Thailand, he agrees to be on a singing television show. Producer or whatever has him in the backroom and asks if he needs anything.

Conan, deadpan "I need to learn Thai, and I need a lot more talent than I currently have."

Producer says "uh... In 30 minutes?"

I've been watching "Conan O'Brien Must Go" on flights lately and get a little self conscious about how much I laugh out loud. He's seriously the funniest dude on the planet.

Thailand -

The desert of Utah is a lot like the backroom of the club - better to leave the blacklight off. Ignorance is bliss.

My Uber driver, female, has a pool cue in the front seat. Just a half.

"do you play?"

"That's if someone tries to mess with me."

Badass.

Astroid City is the weirdest Wes Anderson film yet, still with occasional laughs. That "uh-huh" is sharp perfection.

We won't be celebrating, we'll be honouring and reflecting on the death of a once great nation

WW2 bombers just did a fly over the parade. Planes from an era where the US used to fight Nazis instead of elect them.

Taking that tiny American flag from the parade and turning it upside down.

They passed the fucking monstrosity of a bill. Medicaid just got gutted. ICE just got a bigger budget than the Marines.
But let's celebrate the nation tomorrow huh?

There are only three political positions in America today

1) I like the fascism

2) I'll acquiesce to the fascism (reasons for this one vary: cowardice, access, denial, misguidedly thinking that acquiescence is savvy, etc)

3) I oppose the fascism

The rest is details

Alright it was Darjeeling Limited last night. Perfect cap to an evening, I liked it!

We are not a serious country.

Came out of the woods after 3 days off grid to find out WW3 really is going to start before Canada gets a Stanley Cup.

Public lands under attack is so frustrating because the answer is call your representative, but my representative is a coward that's emailing me about how the big beautiful bill is a win for Idaho. Fuck you, Mike Simpson.

Dear trans people:

You deserve to live your life authentically, autonomously, and have access to affirming healthcare.

We are your allies and support you. 🏳️‍⚧️

I'll be sure to get to those next!

Realized I have never seen a Wes Anderson film, took the classic jumping in point (The Grand Budapest Hotel.)

It was delightful. I laughed throughout! I can't believe it took me this long.

Camping but that didn't stop us from joining the #NoKings protest in our own way.

I can get behind that.

I was just trying to find the punk rock tacos in LA. I'm really quite satisfied with my life.

Oh shit they beat me here.

You know what the national guard and myself have in common?

We're both heading to LA.

Let's hope I can avoid getting tear gassed this time.

This is about the pronunciation.

I would have had to tell them. I wouldn't want to, because I'm socially awkward, but it would have just come out.
