As with the concept of consent, there are too many people who choose to misunderstand the difference between having something done to you and doing something to yourself.

Yeah I love seeing when some band is doing like a 30th anniversary tour playing their seminal album in full, and I’m like, “I swear I just saw them & they were doing the 15th anniversary tour, & so I stop and do math and the math does not compute. 2008 wasn’t 15 yrs ago, unpossible, I’m not old!

The Apple Music algo recently reminded me that Tellin' Stories existed (the song in particular, but also the album) and it made me really happy. Time to turn off the podcasts and turn on some 90s Britpop.

I think people assume everyone spends money on all the same things they spend money on, & anything I might have they don’t is on top of these “set” expenses. When maybe I just allocate money differently. Like not on car & gas & insurance, which might add up to my rent if we want to play that game.

In conclusion, Cars Good.

youtu.be/5rOiW_xY-kc If they weren’t in cars, they wouldn’t be stuck in traffic. If they’re not stuck in traffic, they never realize they’re trapped in their own lonely existential prisons, represented by their cars. And so they never would’ve gotten out & just walked. Cars brought people together.

This is embarrassing. “Look at me everybody, I’m objective! That means it is illegal for me to think critically. I can only take politicians at their word, and words only have one singular meaning ever, know matter who is saying them and in what context. Context is subjective. Subjective bad!"

I mean, it's the biggest city in the Apple State, so it is the Big Apple.

Awesome, I didn't know this was happening, and just in time for summer. Really want to meet our friends from West Seattle at Georgetown Brewery but don't like taking by novice biking gf on busy streets with unprotected bike lanes.

In 2020 we brought home our Xmas tree on my gf's then 2 month old bike, not even a proper cargo bike. The Boy Scouts we bought if from used their knot-tying skills to securely attach it for us.

Damn. Verve might have been my 1st favorite band & Storm In Heaven my 1st no skips album. 1st band I felt ‘cool’ knowing about, b/c a friend at school in Chicago saw them in 92 & told me I had to listen. But I can’t remember the last time I thought of them. At that age, I guess. Saturday plans made.

Man Spoon were such a specific time in my life, Girls Can Tell & Kill the Moonlight. 1st introduction was a concert in 02, felt like I never hadn’t heard them before, but somehow after Gimme Fiction I fell away. Time to go on Spoon binge same way I went on an Aerosmith binge after Yellow Jackets.

My nephews started calling me “Uncle Grandpa” when I was 40 and my beard started going salt & pepper.

Man, carbrain syndrome is real, but fortunately, I think it is treatable via the methods you describe.

ZYN pouches too, apparently. At a brewery last weekend with a sign above the urinal admonishing against it and pointing out the nastiness of having to clean it out.

Such beautiful light. 25 years ago I went to a beach in Asturias looking for fossilized dinosaur footprints and spent the afternoon going from sidreria to sidreria, all while hungover from an all-night festival in Oviedo. Such a beautiful place.

Saw them at Pikes Place a few weeks ago when my Mom was in town visiting. She’s a cat foster-er so they made her very happy so she tipped them and had me take a video for her to show her friends.

Before that I hadn't really thought about it, in the same way I didn't really think about gay people until I realized other people cared a lot and it made them angry and want to hurt them, so I had to think about it and care, in the other direction. I'm 50yo, for reference.

She is doing amazingly now (meaning she has all the normal teen problems) and I get sick to my stomach thinking that might change.
