Referring to YouTubers as “Google Subcontractors”

The Fighting Oligarchy tour having Old 97s open for them in Ft Worth is a brilliant strategy to tap into a Tarrant County voter base: totally checked out dads

In mental health news, I did manage to replace “holding a finger gun in my mouth” as a response with “miming that I’m jacking someone off onto my face”. Freud would probably have a lot to say about this, but I’m taking this as a win

Every time I have to recall a password, I first must relive my entire life

Breakfast Objects

I bought my younger brother a T-shirt and he loves it, I feel like I’ve accomplished one of the hardest cross-generational sibling tasks

Someone found a guitar outside of work and brought it to me, asking if I wanted it. It’s nice to be thought of, but also I dunno man I’ve got too many to just be stealing beat up classical guitars for no real reason

I find celebration of Killdozer distasteful because I would never knowingly advocate on behalf of or admire a Small Business Owner

Really frustrating that my cornball gen x rock guitar former boss also gave me the best gear advice years ago: “You can keep buying overdrives but what you need is an amp that’s 85% there and do the other 15% with pedals”

Thinking about the concept of “supraliminality”

Really cannot emphasize enough how the most sincerely sentimental side story of Infinite Wealth features the recurring Adult Baby Diaper Lover Yakuza Clan

Something odd but kind of familiar in the recent lib thing about how the ICE kidnappers are "proud boys" or "not real cops" or whatever. A kind of third way triangulating. You still get to be outraged but not going all the way about cops.

IN THE CENTER OF THE EYE OF THE MODERN VANGUARD: a Rangers game

The cat distribution system found me at work, so meet Employee of the Month

“Halt! Who goes there?” “Why, it is me, the Floor Pisser.” “Ah, proceed, kind sir.”

Airlines have always been the vanguard of the modern financialized economy, first to graft a credit card company onto their biz, first to embrace market logic dynamic pricing, always eager to lay off workforce & let quality slide in favor of stock buybacks. 2 tickets cheaper than 1 is barely notable

The kids desperately need to learn the difference between industry plant, nepo baby, and “has been grinding for a decade and you’ve just never heard of them until they had a break out hit”

metalcore is a powerful vector for shitty dudes

It’s pretty wild how I read juuust a little Foucault and really found the control of knowledge as a means of asserting power stuff fascinating, and now we get to just watch it kinda play out on our little phones every day

🎶IF YOU LIKE PENIS A LOTTA OR GETTIN’ FUCKED IN THE A🎶

“Your great-grandparents cooked with beef tallow” my great-grandparents were dirt poor in the Sacramento valley and cooked whatever they could kill or grow for their nine kids, my grandma moved far the fuck away the first moment she could

Friend’s moms love suggesting to try to get your band on local radio and suggest it as if it has never occurred to you

Steven Pinker is receiving a ton of backlash online. Google "pinkerton weezer full album download" to learn more

East Texas fb marketplace has an energy to it

I know many have asked, but do you have a strip mall donut shop near you that is solely named “DONUT” or “DONUTS” or is this a weird regional thing?

The funniest thing about the Klarna news is that I distinctly recall an era where PayPal Credit existed but did not get reported to a credit agency. As a result, many of my friends made some very responsible irresponsible purchases and then just walked away from a paypal account

I think a lot about how the two different people who own Joker-themed Jeeps that drive around my neighborhood are both middle aged women. What urged them specifically to do this? Do they know each other?
