Old Grease

Gimme that spark, I'll pull some rabbits outta hats
But gimme Rat Park, I'll pull some habits outta rats.

If you get this rhyme, we can probably be good friends.

Surprise surprise, they broke the thing.

No thoughts. Just clouds of weed smoke and Gorillaz.

There are hidden gems in swearing in silly ways, like "what the shit," but I can't tell if I should immediately regret or save "oh my dick."

Yeah that one felt very silly, but kinda weird.

Or from anywhere.. How would I know why?

People talk a lot about like.. not blindly following people, and yeah that's great, but part of why I've been thinking all day about role models is that sometimes following somebody "blindly" in the following sense is good, actually.

If I want to truly learn something from someone,
...

*but also, because I just assume it's been realised, lemme know which philosopher(s) or otherwise cool folks thought of it first.

I tried I could make another wise word play there but it's hard to write it with flow on the sentence.

...

With how it's usually why people then think they'll never act, sing, paint, drum, etc, but I can't logically justify that, but I have decided to switch back to the emotional appeal of having the joy of expression in one's life.

...but I feel like I just perfected a personal mantra that for my core thoughts on celebrities.

I have problems with ideologically following people, and for some reason I started this post with the emotional juice to somehow then say my bigger problem is

...

@michaelburns.bsky.social brooooooooo I just thought of this* and I'm so smugly proud:

When you deify a human being, you dehumanise yourself.

Like the more I think about adjacent things I've learned from philosophy, I know I've learned and/or heard at least relevant ideas,

The way every visible drug user asks me for drugs has me thinking.

The autistically bland way I dress makes me look like a square at punk shows, and a punk when I'm smoking on the block.

For the record I love all my neighbours, it's more likely because I say hi or wave to everyone who walks by.

'ti's the season for locally juiced apple juice, and BRUUUUHH I'm already at the last litre of a gallon jug.

It is the nectar of the gods.

Currently wondering if I should keep the jug.

GTG, I crave more juice.

Shrek, you claimed in the past that, and I quote, "ogres are not like cakes."

However, in rebuttal:

Shout out to the writers on Gen V, because a villain named Dogknot is the best way to say both that he's a complete creep, and that the writers have been to rule 34.

Like freaking PALLETS of BRICKS of that shit was in the air, I'm surprised none of them OD'd even.

...lol not to disrespect the writers so much as have fun imagining, but if that had happened, I'd have just had Vigilante save them by dragging them out waking them up, since IIRC he had his mask on.

Lol -1 because I felt weird rating it at 11, got a head rush at that moment, and decided it's a 10, but a 9 because it's not as fun if I'd be nervous around traffic for fear of stumbling into it.

Welp.

It's true what that dude said about crossfading weed and alcohol.

The drink is also fairly strong, at 12.5%, but one of those and half of a bc boof are feeling like two of each.

9/10, would recommend.

-1 because it's a little much and I rewrote this ending like five times before giving up.

I feel like the new episode of Peacemaker doesn't quite accurately portray how frickin ZOOMED Vigilante, Harcourt, Economos and Ads would be after so much coke was thrown around that it coated their clothes.

Lol I think I just realised "Start Me Up" (Rolling Stones) is about pegging.

I dunno if you'll find this that neat, but I'm super curious.

I've never read Foucoult (je ne spell pas francais) or about panopticons, but I wonder if this would annoy or interest him.

There's a lot of utility to what we can learn there, not the least of which is how absurd fear mongering about welfare queens is, or similar arguments against UBI, housing the homeless, feeding the poor, etc.

In other words, yes I'm pretty uncomfortable with the idea that I can't hide what I search for online, but at the same time it's clear how much power it can give the people.

OK so the impossibility of privacy in modern society is pretty ass...

Except that I hear Jimmy Kimmel want brought back by direct public outcry so much as from internet search trends.

Jesse Welles is a hypocrite, but hypocrisy like this hits our hearts because the other side of his hypocrisy makes it seem like he should know better.

In his case way better, but that hits me two ways:

People be terrible *and* great,

I hope people don't forget where he's still absolutely right.

Fuuuuck I didn't even mention that Charlie socked Mick in the face right before saying it.

I wonder if Mick Jagger wrote the line "the drummer thinks that he is dynamite" before or after Charlie Watts said "never call me your drummer again."

@wu-tangclan.bsky.social I'm too curious not to ask where I can: how big is the increase in the stream counts for "Protect Ya Neck" in the last few days?

And PLEASE tell me you have one guess why. Hehehehehehe.

@fdsignifier.bsky.social hey. Hey unc. Bro. Dude. Man. Mandudebro. Come watch with us.

If you wanna.

And you know what that means!

LIVE BURNS!

@michaelburns.bsky.social it is Wednesday, my dude.
