not sure when it happened exactly but it seems like all the men my age suddenly got really into fashion. not me though. all my clothes come from the vans store and i doubt that will change any time soon.

if the president speaks at my funeral when i die i hope he pays me a touching tribute by talking about the topics nearest to my heart: a feud he had with rosie o'donnell in 1997, a list of commercials that are too woke, and a tight five about how shower heads aren't as powerful as they used to be

got a bunch of gallagher fans yelling at me because i pointed out the guy had a well documented history of hating watermelons. "you're basing that on a few out of context clips of him smashing watermelons," they're telling me, "watch his full videos and not just what the mainstream media feeds you."

lower those expectations babyyyyy

dan ozzi @danozzi.bsky.social · 23d

very much appreciate it of course! but i even just meant anyone regularly releasing podcasts, newsletters, music, videos, etc. every so often i try to check myself to take stock of how much i consume vs how much i actually pay for

today is a good day to ask yourself how much you actually support the independent artists and creators you enjoy, beyond just liking and subscribing. do you pay them money for their work? do you buy their things? fund alternative culture now or be left with the slop.

There’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for people to build on the rubble of what’s being destroyed before our eyes. Private corporations bending over to forcefeed everyone government-approved speech is evil and amoral, but more than anything this creates boring, inauthentic, unwatchable shit.
