“Existential Dread” is my middle name

“It’s not a party until the cornhole comes out” is a sentence that is totally innocuous in the Midwest, but probably sounds very sketchy elsewhere.

What bothers me way more are people who order their steak burnt but then complain that it’s too tough and doesn’t taste right. Or conversely who order it rare and then complain it’s undercooked and mushy. I have relatives who _routinely_ do both.

Because CLEARLY Carlin was so well-known for wanting comedy to be more respectful and non-confrontational.

I just saw someone on the street whose sartorial style I can only describe as “Bader-Ginsburgcore.”

He had some hot take that TV comedy needs to be less political.

I suggested that a guy who hasn’t been relevant since the 90’s might not be the guy to ask.

Some boomer actually suggested that George Carlin would have agreed with Leno. WHAT?!?

Sure fire way to rile up the old folks on social media: suggest Jay Leno isn’t that funny

And Threads is all “How come Liberals can’t understand how great a wrestler he was?”

He was out, uh, “spending their advance”

A nifty little slice of music business history

Make no mistake, the next IP on the Paramount chopping block is gonna be Trek, though.

CBS is really looking to cement their reputation as "the network your grandparents watch", aren't they.

They were both in his film "Garden State."

One of those insufferably twee movies from the early 00's.

Someone left their tank out in the raaaaaaain...

ICE in MacArthur Park? The jokes practically write themselves!

There’s a trumpet busker at the local farmers market who inevitably launches into Herbie Hancock’s “Cantaloupe Island.”

Me, being a devotee of 90’s electronica, must perpetually fight the urge to jump in with the adlibs from Us3’s “Cantaloop.”

@wmblathers.bsky.social is painfully aware of this.

I didn’t say it was going to work, just that it was just the expectation.

Yeah there’s no winning situation

We got used to the a republican senate minority completely gridlocking Congress for the Obama years that we just assume that the D’s are going to somehow do the same.

And those damned ceramic Dalmatians.

Variations on “it’s more comfortable than a county jail” are arguments I frequently see deployed.

By all accounts, Manzanar, Tule Lake and Gila River were more comfortable than a jail. But they were still concentration camps, and remain a stain on American history.

The Nazis didn’t sell Dachau souvenir t-shirts either. We’re very much in uncharted territory here.

People arguing “it’s not as bad as Auschwitz” are basically arguing “it’s not as hot as the surface of Mercury.”

It doesn’t have to be the worst thing ever to be pretty fucking bad.

(*a bigger crime against humanity)

“Alligator Alcatraz” is one broken air conditioner away from being a crime against humanity.

It’s grim that people are shrugging off the death of children with “it’s what you voted for.”

It’s grimmer still that this is all the exact outcome desired by those who got elected.

Deaths of the vulnerable isn’t a side effect of the policies, it’s the core of the policies.

Threads is just like Twitter, but except instead of being dominated by angry racist techbros, it’s dominated by idiotic racist boomers.

It’s largely a US/UK thing as far as I can tell. I first encountered it during the early 00’s .com boom, when everyone was promising to revolutionize some industry before the next shareholders meeting.

The crowd leaving the Morgan Wallen show is the whitest group of people I have ever seen. And I’ve been to Utah!

They got ratio’d SO hard

“Oh no NYC might have a lefty DS mayor! The city is doomed!” say many people (most of whom have never been to NYC).

Bitches please, Milwaukee has had THREE full-on socialist mayors. They named a big bridge after one of them.
