Biden should drop out. Then drop in. Then drop out. Then shake it all about before turning himself around. That’s what it’s all about.

As soon as the weather drops below 90F, I'm going to hike so goddamn hard in my local woods. I'll find the best walking stick and do the entire course twice while pretending I'm a wizard. It'll be so right and tight.

I now own every Godzilla movie and series (plus essential Godzilla-related stuff*) on physical media. From this day on, I'll never be Godzilla-less.
*Includes The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms (the film that inspired Godzilla), the orig. King Kong, and the solo Mothra and Rodan films.

TV shows are REALLY bad at writing ppl who only speak "a little English." Their English is usually too full of complex, idiomatic expressions and grammatical structures. You need someone for whom English is a second language to write believable dialogue for them. I'm available for script doctoring.

From the goober-faced “doge meme” Kabosu to Hachiko, the Akita who visited Shibuya Station to meet his master for years after the man’s death, Japanese history is full of good dogs. Japanese mythology, though, is a different story. Details in my new article:

We got to stop fetishizing food and coming up with idiotic food rules. So some people like their steak well done. Shut the fuck up about it. It has nothing to do with you. Go play outside. Touch grass. Eat the grass. Eat the grass with mayo, I don't care. Also, try mayo/vinegar on fries. It's good.
