theyre saying its the most beautiful blood anyone has coughed up
this is wonderful
it may be fairly old and was posted by some engagement bait account on IG but it's good for some laffs anyway
Democrats and Republicans agree, they think returning to the days of everybody being racist about Chinese people is the solution
the cops have arrived at 1600 Pennsylvania but somebody heard if the dope isn't actually in the room with you they can't prove possession
if you weren't around for the 80s and/or you just haven't run across this song & its video please let me present you with Godley & Creme's "Cry" www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypMn...
that is terrible!!
it is the common destination of all, whether soon or later
feel like we actually missed the boat on this one, Cronos the New Dawn
oh what's up
yes, of course. but "hard to find" and "nonexistent" are different points on the continuum
absolutely terrible news
if you did not previously know about the Gories or the Dirtbombs or Mick Collins generally there is a world of joy out there for you to explore www.youtube.com/watch?v=h83j...
in case you didn't know this the Gories first two albums were called "Houserockin'" and "I Know You Fine, But How You Doin'?" and then they compiled most of the songs from these albums into one album called "I Know You Be Houserockin'" and this is one of my favorite things ever
Just Kidding Vance
did so immediately, thank you!
oh I’m already calling them my PTSD underwear
lead paint on the walls of the honeycomb hideout
I will never be able to repay you for the joy this has brought me
I’m not sure I have ever made a post where the divide was so stark between my followers, who got the joke and riffed, and the Discover tab massive, who didn’t get it at all but certainly had something to say
So to summarize, Kool-Aid’s great and it’s got ice in it /thread
(Re: Manilow, for those who don’t know:) youtu.be/cumh85vz-1Y?... 4/5
on top of this the voice of the Kool-Aid man is much better suited to hollering “Oh yeah!” than trying to sell subpar jingles. After the “Oh yeah!” these commercials go over the cliff in a huge hurry 3/5
So I looked up the commercials and it turns out I only remember the “Oh yeah!” because the rest of the jingle, across multiple reimaginings, is is completely unmemorable. Just a giant whiff at a jingle. If you were willing to spend the money in the 70s, Barry Manilow would write your jingle 2/5
I was buying my son a pair of shoes and they had Kool-Aid man boxers at point of purchase, which I of course bought. Putting them on this morning I tried to remember the jingle that followed the “Oh yeah!” but could only come up with “Kool-Aid’s great and it’s got ice in it,” which is wrong. 1/5
the early bird gets the worm, but both of them die
the fatal flaw with the Bluesky is dying proposition is that it ignores the broader truth that I am also dying, as are you, and everybody you know. By dying Bluesky lets us know that it’s one of us, that it shares in our beauty and our pain. Grow or die? No, there is no “or.” Bluesky understands
What's the most amount of red flags you can fit in a paragraph?
happy labor day
in my lifetime I have watched Americans get worse opinions about the British at a frankly concerning rate
ok I was right there with you until you hated on the green bean hot dish with the crispy onions from a can. uncalled for violence against hot dish, the proletarian’s delight
mox this one rules
10-12 absolute cowards attack one guy with a camera. Beyond disgraceful indeed.
Black Sabbath @ Hoffman Estates, IL 1982-08-31 https://ijwthstd.blogspot.com/2025/08/black-sabbath-hoffman-estates-il-1982.html
ok seeing the lyric on the screen is sending me, thank you @joshgondelman.bsky.social
im constantly getting flagged down to help women victims of domestic violence by the side of the road
Oh that’s cool!
I'm a big fan of solo malkmus and I don't generally rank stuff at all but an album with "vanessa from queens" on it can't be second to last imo
I always feel very protective of young artists about to go on a big tour. you're going to have a blast, please make time for yourself and prioritize that space for peace and recuperation
This database cool is seriously the coolest thing. When I read “every fire you tend” and “the last pomegranate tree” I thought — I’d really like to learn more about Kurdish literature — and now!!
it was me. on my blog. sorry about all this
middle age means knowing the names of the people you knew in high school who’ll believe that trump’s been replaced by a body double, but only if you can link them to a 45-minute YouTube covering the basics of the theory
that’s not a drop that’s…complete disaster

I don't think he knows insofar as your psyche will help you suppress something like that when it's true.
Dobson's death did for me. The harm he caused spans generations and its chief target is helpless children just trying to find their way through the world.
it's related to what @jana-aych-ess.bsky.social and I were talking about. if I share something, it exposes people to 100k plus readers. they may not want that! it's something I try to gauge, it's a responsibility. anyway, buy Blood on the Lens
man the thing is. if you're lucky enough to get old, when you're dying, you know there's gonna be a few people who don't mind it. everybody has haters. it's what it is. but our special boy at 1600 pennsylvania gets to live knowing that millions of people were excited to hear that maybe he died lol
that's why he needs to be more responsible with his check-ins. now many Seattlites will be hesitant to eat ass at Applebee's
we can riff but this is what's real
oh sure! (I am a fellow serious-conversation-haver). "containment" feels different depending on reach; once it's basically impossible, it feels like a luxury.
at least he tried it before passing judgment
this one is a treat
lol! The thing is I still get to benefit from containment. I just have to say things that won’t interest people beyond a certain target. My Magic posts, for example, are essentially self-limiting.
I see my friend Jana H-S woke up and decided to rain on my dream of containment
I am not normally a conspiracy guy but that doesn’t look much like Trump at all. It looks like an aged David Lander, best known for playing “Squiggy” on Laverne and Shirley. Lander died in 2020.
Yes. Threats with fees attached are just good business
My special posting gift is that I can write posts that, the second they break containment, attract the worst reply guys. Prior to breaking containment we have fun. Afterwards, no fun. For a fee I can write you posts that will attract the same guys
Literally, everybody has been talking about it the entire time.
A public health catastrophe. Not “immanent,” not “potential.” This is the catastrophe.
they say we all float down here, and we float very strongly, and a lot of people are saying we float at levels that have never been seen before
NEW: Last week, oil literally rained down on a Black town in rural Louisiana where 60% of folks live in poverty. The company isn’t taking responsibility & the federal + state governments are saying residents have to clean it up themselves. capitalbnews.org/louisiana-oi...
That database is the coolest damn thing. Thanks for spreading the word
ok this is super exciting. The two Kurdish novels I’ve read — Every Fire You Tend and The Last Pomegranate Tree — were both terrific. Maximum support to Henar Press
No, I’ve talked about this a lot over the years. It was just riffing on a book I’d read where the sun had been an orange ball too many times
which superhero should get the card “________, Enjoyer of Prema” (1U1W4any, when this creature enters the battlefield tap all creatures and put a stun counter on them. All players gain 4 life)
everybody knows this groove. it's just the setup for a terrific saturday
I just realized that Paul cannot see this because I used The Word
probably the most underrated color -- poets an essayists love to write about blue and green, "The King in Yellow" is a classic, but orange gets the short end of the stick in our degraded age
Ali accused Liston of putting some sort of irritant ointment on his glove, which Liston probably did. Miami Beach 1964. there are a lot of lineaments in common use among boxers to cool their muscles so I just named one.
so many people are going to die because not enough people were willing to believe that RFK jr would actually try to do exactly what he has said for decades that he wanted to do
about Buford Pusser while writing the tune, and then I cast my net around to see what I could learn, and I said, sheriff cracking down on crime in the south in the 60s who's supposed to be an up-and-up guy sounds rotten to me, tbh. it's not true that your gut never lies but sometimes it doesn't! 2/2
must say, the thing about Buford Pusser being a murderer is affirming in its sad way. that lyric was a fun formal exercise in which the verses name things you will never see on this earth and the choruses name things whose idealized representations are probably untrue. I ad-libbed the line 1/2
toldja
did I call it or what
people get mad and call it "doomerism" to say that but short of fast, decisive action -- which we both know is not coming -- it's just game over for public health
I think yes to this. RFK is a genuine threat the health, well-being, and lives of millions of Americans. the harm he has already done is hard to calculate. if there's any card that gets rid of him, now is the time to play it
I think about "let's make it a music" at least once a week
Iowa was historically Democratic & was a stop on the Underground Railroad (five stops in Iowa are still standing; what's more, Josiah B. Grinnell, whose name Grinnell college boasts, sheltered John Brown after his raids). only in recent years have they bought the magic beans. it's gettable
so outrageous
not as written, everybody's free to headcanon what they like but they're not paired/in series
‘Cursed is anyone who withholds justice from the foreigner, the fatherless or the widow.’ Then all the people shall say, ‘Amen!’ Deuteronomy 27:19
they think they can just erase trans joy and trans freedom. they can't. they can make things a lot harder and more painful. but that joy and that freedom is not theirs to take and it is incumbent on all good people to say so.
I River's Rebuked all the chocos for the third time in the game
my kingdom for a palanquin
this post not only adds to my reputation for excellence, it enshrines it forever. I anticipate multiple awards for my Star Peace post
Star Wars? more like Star Peace [all earth is silent for an entire hour. gradually, the applause of the world begins to rise, at first like the slightest spray of surf on a shell-flecked beach; but the volume gathers, and increases, as I am carried through the streets of the city, hailed as king,
oh I mean it in the first person plural
ahhh didn't know you were on here good to see & hear & learn again
not great if you're a purist. great if you are happy just to be milling
bro why are you roping now. what did I do. it's all good bro let's play some magic
this is rad however all the games people call good are terrible and boring. only bad games are real
just fyi “On the Other Side” by the Russian composer Vladimir Rebikov is a tremendous piece of music
Was Theda Bara in Gatsby???
Unquestionably a war crime. I know we all have fatigue about this, but we have to keep saying it where we can until enough people get it.
Yeah — the film is lost.
No man I get you. We are living in some laugh to keep from crying times
this is exactly how this will play out
yes — a true icon
