JUST KIDDING please invite me on the show the next time I have a play to plug
SUBWAY TAKES GUY: ok what’s your take? ME: you should be thrown into the tiger exhibit at the zoo SUBWAY TAKES GUY: 100% disagree
the matrix’s smartest point has nothing to do with simulacra or plato’s cave or any of the philosophical stuff. the message is “if you want to win a war, eventually you have to stop all the dorm room theory bullshit and get 10,000 guns”
working on a new script. the premise is "what if 'Marjorie Prime' was disgusting and gross?"
don't worry, there is...Help On The Way 😎 archive.org/details/gd19...
graham linehan is one of the ugliest men i’ve ever seen in my life. an unfuckable bog zombie
“We’ve got Company!” I shout to my squad mates in the back of the APC as I continue browsing the Steven Sondheim musicals we have available to put on
yeah but in the developing world there are data centers that just straight up drain freshwater sources that people rely on. c’mon people
this is like writing an article called “why the sopranos is actually LEFTIST” this year. like read the room man
“is trump a fascist or not” he’s close enough. let’s not split hairs here
amazed yet again at Crumpster’s ability to engage in discourse that’s been stale for years
BREAKING: haha just playing. I got you good though
what if the AIs do end up with human-like cognition…and they end up being bigoted towards other AIs. like ChatGPT says Claude has “miscegenated code.” there’s no AI apocalypse because they all die in the AI Race War first
sorry pal, I need both my kidneys. gotta lotta Pee to make
I don’t think there’s such a thing as a “bad” film actor. people can be miscast, or the director fails to produce good footage and edit it right. there have been so many great performances by non actors that the director’s role is clearly more important and any bad acting is on them
the drama book shop has a GOATed public restroom. if you’re ever in midtown it has your back
he thought it’d be a way to reach the elusive Young Male Podcast Bro Voter but didn’t realize that you have to have correct opinions and not just show up
you’re watching your favorite baseball team. half the players are total amateurs, dropping easy pop-ups. then the other half doesn’t try. they don’t even swing the bat. you start booing. but then another fan slaps you & says “we’re losing because of you!” that’s what “vote blue no matter who” is
So, not only is my kid's healthcare illegal for doctors to provide him in the state we live in, he can no longer be treated out of state and risks losing access to the evidence backed peer reviewed medication that has changed his life for the better because we are ruled by monsters and cowards
lol it's one of their slowest/mellowest ones yet but it's fantastic, can't wait for the full album. hayden pedigo is a great addition his fingerpicking has such a cool contrast with luther manhole's riffs. i'm all in baby
NEW CHAT PILE SONG CLEAR MY SCHEDULE LOCK THE DOORS TIME TO MELT MY OWN FACE OFF
my logic is 1) this karmically balances out all the times I don’t have money to give 2) it’s fun to make somebody’s day a little better
my policy when it comes to homeless ppl asking for money is to give them the smallest bill I have, no questions asked. usually it’s a buck, but if you catch me after an atm trip? you just got yourself a crispy fresh Hamilton my friend
if you’re familiar with DC at all you know that union station is a luxury mall and food court with a train station attached. the worst thing that can possibly happen to you there is a guy mumbling a request for spare change or getting the runs from taco bell
happy don’t check your 401k day
I think that paid downloads without drm that you truly own are the most ethical and affordable option all around. sucks that a bunch of stuff I bought is at the mercy of the apple corporation
fwiw I think the ultimate media collection is just a 4TB hard drive stuffed with torrented 4K versions of every movie and tv show ever, but that takes time to build, gets you yelled at if you don't VPN, and as a marginal showbiz type I suppose I have to oppose copyright theft in principle or whatev
people are nostalgic for physical media and I totally understand why, but also I wonder if that nostalgia glosses over how much space you need to store that shit, how annoying it is to pack for a move, the disc/tape getting damaged, etc. maybe it's like how hipsters say they feel connected to vinyl
I think this is a reference to a Robot Chicken bit

the only problem with being a professional playwright is you get paid worse than a professional literally anything else
my buddy Will says you can spot the drunk drivers in New Orleans because they’re *not* swerving constantly to avoid potholes
think i'm gonna really lean into the Firkinho thing. maybe get a customized jersey, idk
seth brundle, 1986:
fun fact: they played in the hartford civic center arena, which is inside of a mall
“you see hip hop was invented in the park, but rap was always for the guys who worked at the Fulton Fish Market”
turkish deep state agent: go to the parking garage at 11:30 and Hakan will meet you with the briefcase eric adams: thanks. say…did you know the “hip” in “hip hop” stands for “homework is power?” turkish agent: you say this every time
if you are ever tempted to write off the residents of a "red" (i.e., gerrymandered) state and say "set them adrift, let them secede, they deserve what they voted for", you are missing all the thousands of stories like this where the human beings in those states are pushing back every single day
about 10 years ago this was one of my favorite songs. it still is. i even included it in a 10 minute play. RIP brent hinds you fucking rocked dude www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAih...
shit, for real??
this is great but also: if the onion has more print subscribers than the Boston Globe then traditional newspapers are truly dead
-become cop -solve 24% of the crimes you are involved in investigating over a 26 year career -0% clearance rate for crimes against people in vulnerable groups -shoot 14 dogs -die of a covid induced heart attack on the clock after refusing vaccine -local parade funeral in your honor
now he gets to focus on Hell
[roman statue avatar rationalist race science guy reading The Aeneid for the first time] you mean the Romans are TURKS?!? and IMMIGRANTS?!?
personally I think a guy dragging a huge santa’s sack of money into the Moulin Rouge is a fantastic image but I guess garter belts works too
today I realized that in “lady marmalade” lil kim says “come through with the money and the garter belts” not “come through with the money in a garbage bag.” it took 25 years to figure this out. I thought she was saying she was so expensive a guy needed a bag of cash
[billy corgan voice] the uncle in me is the uncle in youuuu
stefan molyneaux once admitted he got away with plagiarizing from significantly better writers because of the “total non-literariness of [the millennial] generation.” if people don’t read they can’t tell when a dumbass is faking being smart
yeah i’m really impressed with what y’all are doing these days. not the wired I remember from the 2000s and I mean that as the highest compliment
Jim Morrison: ride the snake to the lake the snake is old and his skin is cold, come on baby, fuck me baby yeah yeah yeah yeah Boomers: God, yeah, vietnam was such an ugly war
bill pulte was my best friend's pledge dad at northwestern, so i've met him a few times. he was a cookie-cutter drunk frat boy loser, a complete 2-faced ass kisser, and so homophobic that you got the sense that something was Going On There. anyway he's the reason none of us will own a house
Cuomo really said “Get me Boringstein’s non union CHUD equivalent!”
godspeed you! black emperor took their music off all the streaming platforms. this day will forever be known as Black Tuesday
In Middleton, NY. This guy probably saved his neighbors from Trump's masked thugs. This is how you firmly assert your rights and stand up for our communities.
no
this guy 100% had a hard drive of “materials” that would land him in prison
one of the best parts of being a kid is making a million weird doodles and clay sculptures and collages that are completely unique to you. replacing that with AI slop is a crime

i think this is my favorite meme of the last 4 years, definitely the best one i've seen on bluesky
you know how we do it
when I was like 12-13 I watched a lot of msnbc and I think I should be entitled to compensation
This is just classic, age-old ableist eugenics. It’s the exact same shit sold to us during the pandemic. “Don’t worry, it’s only the already disabled and chronically ill that are suffering and dying.” It’s all the same playbook. “Nothing to see here. Nobody with worth to worry about.”
you’re a genocidal freak

there have been approximately 800 detainees in Guantanamo Bay since 2001 (that we know of) and that's rightly considered an atrocity. there has to be a way to oppose western fear mongering over China without adopting the literal logic of the GWOT
I think that the worst leftist foreign policy talking point is to say that china's um, "activities" in xinjiang are a justified reaction to islamic terrorism. leftists defending that sound like 2003-era Bush war hawks. state of exception logic, etc
gotta be nick cave and the bad seeds. more like nick cave and the bad SONGS

this is literally just racism
…or even for doing republican stuff quietly and with a friendlier face. why doesn’t the left get 50 years of uninterrupted failure before getting the hook?
i’m glad that Zohran is running on achievable policies but I resent how every elected socialist is expected to deliver utopia in 4 years while a normal democrat gets kudos simply for not doing republican stuff

“lolita davidovich” is an extremely Pynchonesque name
me existing in the United States for the last 10 years or so: wow, getting a lot of "so damn easy to cave in / man kills everything" vibes from this!
the IDF does a My Lai every fucking day. go home and unalive yourselves you mark-ass losers

also relegation is worse than any bad season in any american sports league. the browns may lose most years but their fans at least know they're not going anywhere (ok bad example with the Browns but you get my point)
i'm guessing the sports misery index doesn't include non-US soccer because of teams like last year's Tottenham. 17th in the Premiership but Europa League Champs. absolute dogshit and historic triumph in the same year. quantify that, nerds!

glad that people are shitting on New York all the time. the post-9/11 outpouring of love was always phony. things are the way they should be: everyone hates us and we don't care
great tweet!

if it's any consolation to you your consistent plugging of the ring cycle made me listen to it and i really enjoyed what i heard. looking forward to taking a deep dive when i get the chance. your work is making a difference even if it's just "make one guy enjoy opera for the first time"
