Nemo.

"We had a musician in today, I think he's from a band you like."
"....excuse me?"
"Yeah, name was Charles. But he had a nickname he used in his playing days. Black....Franklin?"
"Francis? Black...Francis?"
"Yeah! Nice man."
"OH GODDAMNIT, MOM."

Mostly only interested in songs about superheroes named Tony.

(I am 100% listening to some Pixies when I get home this evening. Fun anecdote: Black Francis lived here and came and spoke in my mom's former classroom for Career Day. And she didn't tell me until 3 hours after it was over.)

More songs should start like Monkey Gone to Heaven. "There was a guy." Ok I'm listening, what's this guy up to

Kristi Noem on her first day as Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas

[Exit Murderer.]

She's apparently being escorted to her motorcade which might not be there. WHO KNOWS

Congrats, Lane. This is worse than being fired on the tarmac.

It's so degrading watching the Secret Service clean out someone's fuck pad. They walk outside with cardboard boxes and upend them. There are shattered Poison CDs all over the ground, glinting in the sunlight atop a towel that can't bend.

None of these guys look like they love eating burgers. They look like MBA types who got into the burger business for money. Now Dave Thomas, that was a guy who looked obsessed with giving you the greatest square-patty burger you could ever imagine at an extremely good price.

Really 80’s guitar player

Really 80’s singer

Really 80’s bass guy

Trent Reznor looking like Trent Reznor from age 18-60

Deeply fascinated by the new wave band Trent Reznor used to play with in the 1980’s and how everyone looks so incredibly 80’s except for Trent Reznor who looks exactly the same as he always has to the point where he might as well have time traveled

A war that isn't a war, documented with videos that may or may not be real, funded by elected leaders who are neither for nor against it, is the most dystopian thing that's happened in my lifetime

RIP Baudrillard you would've loved this episode of imperial decline

I want to, but last time I fell for this they had a string around the can and they ended up leading me halfway across Eugene before I gave up.

Insomnia
Vincenzo Lamolinara

The official flag of Loudoun County, Virginia

I mean, yeah. Imagine waking up and a pissed off Tree Army is returning home, probably singing their "I killed an orc's entire bloodline and laughed" songs. No fucking way I'd sleep either.

As a child, I once yelled at the Harlem Globetrotters for being jerks and they apologized. They were jerks.

I've drowned before. 6 years old. To this day, I can't swim. I'm good. I'm a confirmed land mammal.

At root this is the most depraved thing about right wing evangelical Christianity: asking god for forgiveness is about meaning it and proving through your actions that you mean it, not “God whispered to me that I’m all good so shut the fuck up about it already lol”

A poster on a pole, a military boot covered in once cream "ICE creams for fascism"

Saw these around the neighborhood today. This is on the pole down the block from my FUCK ICE installation

Odysseus had his crew lash him to the mast to keep him from doing an interview with Chotiner.

This is the point. If your vaunted trillion-dollar military can't get through a few days of airstrikes because you've consolidated the industrial base so badly, then you don't have a trillion-dollar military, you just have contractors in No. Virginia getting rich

Maternal: bootlegger during Prohibition, then worked in a box factory until he died

Paternal: "Army." Spent a lot of time up in Alaska during the Cold War, working at some radar / intelligence station in case the Rooskies tried to take Fairbanks.

Another data point for "everyone in this administration is twelve"

🎶🎶 Roxanne / please hand me the crack pipe 🎶🎶

Billy Idol (whose music I actually enjoy) did not need to tell me he has/had a thing for crack.

I thought this was Mark McGrath. Huh.
