Mark Lomax and his band were on FIRE tonight

At Largest ICE Detention Camp, Staff Bet on Detainee Suicides, AP Reports Camp East Montana has received several 911 calls in the span of five months about immigrants trying to harm themselves.

Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.

I guess I’m just old-fashioned, but I sure don’t associate calling someone the r-word with promoting mature, rational adulthood

Sometimes I worry that I like things too easily and am not critical enough, but then again, I’m glad I enjoy (for example) the movies of Wes Anderson and had a blast reading Infinite Jest back in the day.

Had to think about this one, because I’m good at forgetting stuff I dislike and moving on. I just cannot get into anime, and no matter how many times I listen to Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon, I still don’t care for it.

So glad my mom didn’t turn flat earther until long after our homeschool days were over. The geocentricity and creationism were bad enough…

The master of all he surveys (or so he believes), Sonny the orange and white cat stretches out on his favorite window seat with one paw extended in front of him

Sonny looking regal this afternoon

The anti-Beatitudes … cursed are those who FA, for they will FO

Yeah, I can’t complain, lol, Big Ears is gonna rule. If only it didn’t have to overlap with Takaat playing a set at my favorite local record store.

Gonna be super bummed to miss out on this tour … all the nearby dates clash with either Big Ears or other commitments

TAKAAT - Is Noise, Vol. 3, by TAKAAT 4 track album

Happy Takaat Day to all who celebrate

Love the Walkabouts and will most definitely be copping this one today

Albini Sessions (Benefit for Letters Charity), by Fugazi 12 track album

Holy heck, Fugazi just released the 1992 Albini sessions for Bandcamp Friday! Proceeds going to Letters Charity.

*chewing intensifies* I’m dramasticating

Most definitely Not For Me, but this doesn’t sound too much more objectionable than the Skyline Chili ice cream that Graeter’s put out last year…

Appreciate seeing this — I had tickets for the Columbus date but got sick the week of the show and had to sell them 😭

Sonny the white and gray cat reclines on my lap, enjoying a belly rub and getting hair all over my black t-shirt

Sat down and immediately got a lapful of cuddly cat and a shirt matted in white hair

Context:

I grew up being taught that James Dobson was bad because he was too liberal

The term ”sodomy” low key the most successful and destructive psyop of all time. Cishets took a civilization getting smote for its lack of hospitality to the poor and the stranger and deflected the blame to gay sex for like a million years and counting.

I love this entire album, but sometimes I put it on and forget that this song is lurking right smack in the middle to fuck me up

Going to miss this store

Was just about to ask if the hamster was named Ron or Mary B

Eating a warm homemade oatmeal raisin cookie can be a truly transcendent experience. Out of a package? Not so much.

Both of mine were dead by the time I was 2, so I never knew them, but: One worked for a telephone company and the other was in construction, albeit disabled and confined to bed for most of my dad’s youth (he also served in Italy during WW2 and was on a ship that got sunk by a U-boat)

An orange and white cat looks up at the cameraperson who rudely awakened him from his sunbeam nap

Sonny says hi

I’ve been curious about this too…

Every 5 years or so I eat at Skyline Chili and am sadly underwhelmed yet again. Just makes me homesick for a Fort Wayne’s Famous Coney Island dog.
