Re-wiring my brain daily, retired record store guy, indie punk band guy, sometimes I think it, sometimes I write it down. And sometimes I turn the page. Real secondary character energy here. https://buymeacoffee.com/jpo1960j

Labor Day. johnpauloneil.substack.com/p/labor
Maybe we can get Lugh, the master of skills to coach special teams.
All glory goes to The Dagda, may his cauldron be full
First of all, thank you Zeus for all your blessings….
Up at YOU WONT WIN. Writing about thinking about writing. johnpauloneil.substack.com/p/only-thoug...
Staying home and listening to the rain fall outside is the dream. And I am living the dream right now. For real. I can stand the rain after all.
Time for a nap.
You and me, we sweat and strain Body all achin' and racked with pain Tote that barge and lift that bail You get a little drunk and you lands in jail

Was not a good roadie, period. Better now than September.
@morningowl215.bsky.social Thanks for handing us our ass, Phillies! Your guys can hit! #marinersvsphillies
I didn’t go into Burger King
Meridian is a trip. It's the little differences. I mean, they got the same shit over there they got here, but, it's just, just, there it's a little different.

@maklelan.bsky.social Have you addressed the “scientific proof that Jesus exists” assertion in your work? I think you have, but maybe not here on BlueSky.
Getting biblical on y’all. johnpauloneil.substack.com/p/the-wilder...
I don’t know for sure, but it appears to be pouring sand down a gopher hole. Venture capital props up a business until it starts gaining traction, captures an audience, so they can cash out. They say they spend it on more hardware, more engineering, better functionality, but who knows?
I am on substack ( johnpauloneil.substack.com) but I constantly wonder where else I could go. I like the community I have built through curation, but I always have an exit plan. newsletter.anamariecox.com/archive/subs...
Caldwell Idaho Rules.
It seems like there is an endless supply.
Reply-cockroaches is a very apt term.
My wife hid the Planters Peanuts from me, because she didn’t want me to eat the whole can. She very smart.
That’s the Roy Cohn playbook. Sue, distract, accuse, distract.

"One of the most horrific realizations when your government is hijacked from the inside is that there is no official to whom you can turn. Living for legacy, living for security, living for money -- it makes no difference, they are not living for you." -- HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT (2020)
How did he find time to govern, between Russia Gate and composing the Epstein list?
Staying on the trail. #ridgetorivers
I put a big jumbled mess of pent up frustration, anger and confusion on the YOU WONT WIN blog this week. johnpauloneil.substack.com/p/detractors
(Tapping the sign) If your corporation proclaims that “we are family here,” devise an exit strategy. #CaptainObvious
(Tapping the sign) Your co- workers are associates, not friends. And, certainly not family. Although, it can be just as dysfunctional. #CaptainObvious
Relax, recuperate, cooperate. ❤️❤️
Public pools used to be everywhere in America. Then racism shut them down. www.marketplace.org/story/2021/0...
I wrote about misunderstanding, and the difference between humor and comedy on YOU WONT WIN this week. Complete with jokes! johnpauloneil.substack.com/p/i-was-joking
The grind never stops.
The intern is on micro retirement to his parents house in Sun Valley
Did I say editor? I meant intern.
Sorry, our editor is on micro-retirement.
The Narrow Gate Matthew 7-13 “Enter through the narrow gate, for the gate is wide and the road is easyh that leads to destruction, and there are many who take it. 7-14 For the gate is narrow and the road is hard that leads to life, and there are few who find it.

This guy is cool in the most important and perhaps the only way a guy like him can be cool- by not giving a single shit whether other people think he's cool
One of my favourite new bands! Rediviva - a rock band from Boise Idaho - Adam Gates (Guitar, Vocals), Matt Perkins (Bass, Vocals) and Andrew Davis (Drums).
The vandalisation of the Six Grandfathers was always built on stolen land. It follows that whitey would add a gangster. Ain’t that America?
My man Stan Goff gets real about something that we see every day. “It’s an aesthetic . . . I call it “special ops knockoff, but with lots of noise, and Big Retail.” open.substack.com/pub/stanleya...
Yea? Nay? #nopoll Perhaps if it were folded NICELY!
The dusting rag is on the hallway table. Whether or not that’s a good place for it? Up for debate.
Went by Post Malone Stadium, where them Broncos play. The gates are by University Drive. Out in the parking lot. People getting toasty for Posty!

Angostura Bitters!
Curtis Stigers performing a Bill Coffey tune, Ansotegui Bitters. Marvelous.
Tobit is woke! “Give some of your food to the hungry and some of your clothing to the naked. Give all your surplus as alms, my son, and do not let your eye begrudge your giving of alms.” Book of Tobit-4, 16
Everything is going well
Try it. Just try it. Keep walking, two legs. You and your canine companion. Yeah, that’s what I thought.
Nothing
People who say “EVERYONE DOES THIS” are wrong. So are people who say “NO ONE DOES THIS” because EVERYONE and NO ONE do not exist.
Ready, set, go. johnpauloneil.substack.com/p/just-busin...
Take the trail, you will not regret it.

He should have just complied.

Word to the wise: if someone is dragging a co worker to you, chances are good that you are being dragged as well. In the workplace, there are no confidential or private conversations. No matter how “close” you are to someone, self-interest will ALWAYS prevail.

I forgot it was a Monday. Which means I forgot @brionrushton.bsky.social was laying down some Strange Feeling on the radio. Radioboise.org, or 93.5 if you are downtown OR 89.9 if you live where the real people are.
Just bought some tomato plants on a whim. Do I put them in soil, or do I just leave them in the pots they came in until they wither and die? I have no access to water either, is that a problem? Before you answer think about how ridiculous and thoughtless this is before you reply.
What, in the actual HELL?
Just in time for quitting time! johnpauloneil.substack.com/p/cats-landing

Man, Roth nails it again! Of course, the issue of “biggubbmint” is just an illustration of people’s desire for things to be “just that simple”. DJR does a wonderful job of illustrating how the vast numbers relate to us.
Thanks for responding to the Bat Signal🦇 I’m at a place called RoadsideAttraction, having a Ginger Beer.
Table is reserved.
I’ll always be here for pollination chat.

Yet here he is, speaking. With his voice. To a reporter. Reminds me of all the comedians who are “cancelled.”
This is the content response I love! Thanks Colleen!
Shout out to the pollinators.
Still walking.
Paranoid delusions are worse than most any vice. The answer is the same: wash the dishes. So I will.
I like being old. I feel sorry for people who don’t.

Capital does not care about you. You are just another resource to be consumed, then discarded.
