Found this old photo of me leaning over the edge of the stage trying to scope out the setlist and gear before a Tedeschi Trucks concert at the Winnipeg Centennial Concert Hall.

Cats domesticated us and not the reverse. I'm tired of pretending it isn't true.

I think "Born Trans in the USA" needs to be a Springsteen remake.

The hubris.

Incredible that this man thinks he can gaslight us into thinking he couldn’t have stopped the genocide, that he wasn’t a collaborator par excellence.

Blinken:

(2/12) First, what changed to make this breakthrough possible? Hamas is finally and fully isolated. Arab states and Turkey have said “enough.” The misery Hamas provoked and would allow to persist has delegitimized it among most Gazans. And Hamas realized that the cavalry (Iran, Hezbollah, the Houthis) are not coming to the rescue.

(3/12) Israel has long since achieved its war aims -- destroying Hamas as an organized military force so October 7 can never be repeated and eliminating those responsible for its horrors – but at terrible cost to Palestinian civilians caught in a crossfire they did not start and were powerless to stop. Only the hostages remained. Israelis want them home and the war to end, putting pressure on the Israeli government to take the deal, not move the goalposts.

In Helo’s defence, I’ve started putting their cat bed there because I also like them next to me when I work.

I bought a barstool chair for my standing desk for when my legs get tired. But since I keep it next to the standing desk when not in use, Helo has decided it's the best spot in the house, as it lets them be next to me as I work. I can't argue with that, so it seems I bought Helo a barstool chair.

I bet if someone were to do a good enough job on the lyrics, Bruce would perform it.

Y'all need to not besmirch yourselves like this. Solo slap is ruined for all time.

Sasha the Furious Ghost 👻 @sashafury.blackskycomra.de · 3h

I have to confess that when bass players play slap with no other instruments playing, all I hear is Seinfeld.

Could be. Or they just see anti-capitalism as a product/market to exploit. the "anti-marketing dollar" like in that Bill Hicks skit.

There was one perfect movie and then everything that followed.

Applies also to Jurassic Park.

The JP and Alien “franchises” have basically an identical problem.

Sasha the Furious Ghost 👻 @sashafury.blackskycomra.de · 4h

It's almost like all the capitalists who make these endless sequels, midquels, and prequels don't give a shit about the critique of capitalism made in these films.

All of us, in relation to this franchise (and cinema as an industry more broadly), think we should discuss the Bonus Situation.
