There is a fifth wave of ska, beyond that which is known to rude boys

Snake Oil.

Snake oil never changes.

SUBSKEET ALERT

This is your semi-regular reminder that if I haven’t mentioned an article that appears to be very much in my wheelhouse, it probably isn’t because I didn’t see it. Much more likely that I read it, found it wanting, and didn’t feel like spending my life critiquing.

In the beginning, insane FP discourse was spaced out by 24 weeks. Then twelve, then six, then every two weeks. The last one was a week. In four days, we could be seeing bad takes every eight hours, until they are coming every four minutes. Marshall, we should witness a double event within seven days

Yes.

I thought we already did those. I admit there's new people who weren't here before and we're always allowed to relitigate them anew.

That is part of @edzitron.com’s Haters Garden where they burn forever.

Flying fur ruckus commenced almost immediately.

Artemis the dilute tortie and Gadget the void in a pre-ruckus standoff next to the shopping bag that’s worth fighting for.

568.

My general rule is pick any point on the subcontinent, go 10 miles in any direction, and you likely have an entirely different culture, language, and history spanning millennia. It's wonderful!

Please say hi to and shake your head at the existence of the Alabama shop.

This looks like you're having an early morning stroll through the closed shops of the Old City.

The only reason I recognize anything is because of the BootieSF mashup mixes.

And, at some level, Bhopal is when I started getting interested in India as a place. Other kids got enamored with China and Japan; I fell down the India hole because there is just so much EVERYTHING to learn about and enjoy for thousands of years.

I was nine and in my PRIME of "download all human knowledge into brain".

Bhopal is my earliest recollection of Industrial Nightmare as a kid that set me learning about more and more of them. Might have been in the background of how I ended up in my current career.

I'll take the creek over the trend of lighting them on fire and letting them trundle down the street.

Your frE, Jeebie.

Truly, his water belongs to the tribe.

Takes a pet like no problem.

When Gadget is in a mood he is usual assessed as "Takes a pet like some problems."

I often assess cats this way.

He makes Stilgar proud.

I'm just saying the my colleagues and I are very dedicated to Creek Cleanup Days.

We have fished so many of these out of Strawberry Creek. It has been years since I last saw one in the Shattuck areas of Berkeley.

If I'm not gonna win the ugly sweater contest I can at least make others regret letting me be there.

Live your life such that a lack of polar bear rug won in a poker game is your only regret.

HELLO FELLOW SICKO!

Times like this I remember the chat with 93yo Kermit McGranahan, when asked if he had any regrets in his life, said “Should taken the polar bear skin rug in that poker game in my 20s. Never got a chance for another.”

Thank you to all linguistics lovers than liked my skeet.
