i still feel that right wing tech dipshits using tolkien for a new torment nexus company should read a new book. but I'm brave enough to admit that if a melodic black metal band drops yet another tolkien-imagery-themed album, i will listen at least once

every trump admin official is some combination of dumb, corrupt, and evil, so "all the way corrupt" is actually the best outcome for the country

i hate when i see people post "this shouldn't be a partisan issue!" about funding for vaccines or whatever. sorry man, one party is run by a death cult, lots of normal shit is gonna be partisan now

one of the main reasons I'd like an electric car is so chipmunks can't get into the hood and chew through the fuel lines. unrelated, is flexseal tape rated for automotive uses

Q: Just last week a minister was shot directly in the face with a pepper round by a DHS agent that left his face bloodied. Are you concerned that this is a religious freedom issue?

MIKE JOHNSON: I can't comment on any of those instances. I haven't seen or heard any of those videos

highly recommend the book "Little Eyes" by Samanta Schweblin which is like this except with little Furby-type dolls. bad news!

i only have this to add to the discourse de jour: when i was in elementary school, my dad's cousin, whom I had never met, mailed his extended family his new album of bizarre ambient noise tracks

cd cover for "the amazing mr slug", "reasons from three of me". has three strange looking figures on the front

Just incredibly, unnecessarily cruel. And I’d be shocked if there wasn’t wanton corruption going on here, too.

It literally took decades of advocacy to pass these reforms, which would have prevented prison phone and teleconferencing companies from ripping off inmates and their families to the tune of hundreds of millions annually

i never feel as optimistic and empowered and filled with Raw Universal Joy as when listening to "The Message [Tablet III]" from Blood Incantation's landmark album, "Absolute Elsewhere"

the guy (probably in his 60s?) checking out ahead of us at Costco this weekend had a case of mich ultras, a box of baby diapers, and, also, one giant summer sausage

Chris Steller @chrissteller.bsky.social · 3d

Shoutout to the bro ahead of me in line who was buying ...

- a medium bag of Funyuns
- a good-sized container of shoestring potatoes
- three frozen pizzas
- the largest, thickest link of summer sausage you can buy
- one canister of spray foam

... at Menards

we've had another emergence event where hundreds of meloe oil beetles have popped up in the backyard. apparently my attempt to disrupt the breeding cycle last year (drop them into a bucket of water) was ineffective

MSNEIL @ne8il.bsky.social · Oct 10

backyard has been taken over by the feared "blister beetle". they've emerged en masse and now they're mating all over the place... it makes caligula look like the goddamn teletubbies of beetles

here's a tip to keep in your back pocket for a social night out. you can say "well, it's a numbers game" about any situation and probably be correct enough to avoid scrutiny that you weren't paying attention to the conversation

awhile back i ordered one (1) set of glass standoffs for a (still incomplete) furniture project and since then i've gotten weekly updates on the latest innovations in the standoff and signpost industry. i haven't unsubscribed because it's kind of interesting

disappointing update to this grammatically-incorrect 5am tweet: i went to go look at a dope Barbour jacket at the consignment store today and they couldn't find it anywhere

okay. I'm on the lookout

i don't usually remember much from my early morning sessions where my mind is racing in all different directions. but i distinctly remember coming to the conclusion this morning that if I had a pet squirrel I'd name him Studebaker
