Excited to finally have this one on vinyl. Whitest Boy Alive, "Rules." #vinylhaul

Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.

The only parasite class is Elon Musk and his oligarch buddies. They are leeches on society.

You're welcome, Internet. This made my week.

Quick sketch over a photo of myself. I really like how it turned out, stylistically.

Spend most of my evening patching some leaky ducts and cleaning up my basement crawlspace. I'm pretty sure this is a form of imposter syndrome but any time I work on more intensive hands-on home DIY stuff, my mind invariably wanders to thoughts of the Groverhaus. knowyourmeme.com/editorials/g...

I've been reflecting on the Tao Te Ching recently. If you want a repudiation of "Only I can fix it," Laozi had some thoughts on the subject 2,500 years ago.

Deleted my Amazon account. I may come back, should I ever need products from such fine retailers as AVIGBNY.

I happen to enjoy awful, terrible, not-very-good films. 🤣

New post on my Substack, I've been thinking about the role of jobs and wanted to discuss my own personal experience with technology, how it's changed, and the working class world. elusivethought.substack.com/p/the-dignit... #nonfiction #essay #technology #morality #modernculture

Incredibly likely this gets remembered like Eisenhower’s farewell warning regarding the military-industrial complex that took shape during his presidency and came to define the country moving forward.

Oh... www.axios.com/2025/01/13/w...

This place is giving me some real Haunted Doll Factory vibes.

I turn on the TV, and for whatever reason, it resets itself to one of the free movie channels. I immediately get an orangutan making fart noises with its mouth because it's "Dunston Checks In" and I think to myself, "This is the quality content I come here for."

Lot of hazy fog and abundant sun this morning, walking through my ice-covered neighborhood.
