That’s a shame, always get a sense a city pride when I see them roll around, getting tacos while they hang around on Sunset on Sundays or before Dodger games is just great

However, anime pfps, usernames, and a person’s decrepit dress or lack of style? I’m been found guilty there.

One of my ardent rules is just to never dunk on someone’s appearance, no matter how wretched they are as a human. It’s never let me stray down the path of antisemitism, ableism, racism, and uncreative meanness, for which I am grateful.

Lego games are always a great choice when in a pinch. But your list is similar-ish to mine, and all my video game friends recommend Disco Elysium. It’s next for me after I finish my current runs through TOTK and a replay of Red Dead 2.

Last year I set out to read the red-flag-toxic-bro/hardest-English-books-to-finish trilogy in a year. Took about 4 months longer than a year (read a few things in between), but the journey’s done. Each one’s charming, funny, and astounding in unique ways. Each one moved me, and I am grateful for it.

The credits thing is silly, having to remind myself the episode is closer to 45 mins than 60 (but glad people are getting their name on things)

The reasons and motives for why might change from person to person (worked REI a few years and sometimes had to tailor talking points to advocate for Bear Ears or some place depending on the person), but public land and the NPS are probably the most popular and uniting thing America has going for it

Iconic opener, “No Surrender” makes me want to do a street takeover with my buddies, “Downbound Train” is dreamily heartbreaking, leading into the even more melancholic and spartan “I’m on Fire,” and the 1-2 closer of “Dancing in the Dark” and “My Hometown” is a hell of a coda.

Do you ever watch a movie so breathtaking you sit there sipping your drink in silence? Anyways, I just watched The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance—a perfect July 4th Eve flick, a perfect film.

Watched this the other night. Dick Miller is fantastic in it. He's got this Jack Lemmon energy going that made me sympathetic to his incel loneliness, even a little past his turn into full blown creep.

My building opened access to a ladder that went to another level on the roof. I climbed it today and first thing I see in the building next door is three men having sex. Happy last day of pride month.

If we still have to suffer lost cause propaganda I wouldn’t mind a pivot to northern supremacy fantasies like Lincoln setting first flame to Georgia, Gen. Sheridan personally sniping Jeb Stuart, or Lee being portrayed as a sadistic psychopath

Which I should say are foundations to my love of reading, especially classic lit. I wouldn’t have been introduced to Tom Sawyer, H G Wells, Sherlock Holmes, or Jane Austin without them. There’s a mile long difference between dumbing down vs making things accessible, especially to a young audience.

Motherboy yes. Also a big fan of the pilot, which does a ludicrously A+ job of setting up the whole show and characters. Really is one of the best shows.

The Grants Pass decision is making me so livid. Unfettered cruelty. Kicking, scraping, and twisting knives in people who are not just down but already despised for being down. I am reaching deep into depths of my anger right now.
