Asked a co-worker how their back feels. Having to constantly punch down instead of up because of how *entertaining* they find people not getting their SNAP funds.

I absolutely hate it here.
"Yeah, the vibes are off," Brodi answered.

"So, if it were haunted, what could I do?"

"We could get a priest to bless it."

"Do you know a priest who's just going to stop what he's doing to bless a used Tama drum kit, Brodi?"

"I can call my plug and see if he knows someone."
"Proof, you know, to show me it isn't haunted," he said, his eyes completely locked on mine.

"How the hell would I be able to produce that?" I snapped. "Plus, you are the one who is saying it's haunted. Isn't the burden of proof on you?"

"I'm just going off vibes, man."

"Vibes?" I inquired.
"Yeah, man, I just don't take chances," he said, as he slowly backed away.

"It's a sick kit, dude."

"But what if it's haunted, man?"

I stood there, starting to get frustrated. "You have zero, and I mean zero, proof that it's haunted, dude."

"Do you have proof it isn't haunted?"

"Do what?"
"So I found a great deal on it used," I said, proudly as I noticed Brodi flinched a little. "What was that?"

"Oh, I just got a chill about it. I think I'm going to bounce."

"Why?"

"What if that drum kit is haunted?"

"A haunted drum kit, Brodi?" I replied. "Seriously."

"Think of the potential!" he squealed, watching a marketing video for a board game simulation. The licensing fees alone had already blown the budget.

"What's stopping people from just playing the real games?"

"No one wants to be near anyone anymore," he replied.

"Fair point." #vss365
"So, rule number one while staying here," Steven announced.

"I don't do rules because they are usually too arbitrary," Kyle interjected, and I felt a slight hint of embarrassment. Kyle, at seventeen years old, had recently been delving into his own interpretation of moral relativism.

"They always elude me," Benji said exasperated as continued to survey the room, it was cluttered and had a familiar earthy smoke smell.

"What does exactly?"

"My car keys, Todd!"

"They play hide and seek with you, or you get too high to remember where you put them?" I replied. #vss365
"You know what sucks?" Keith asked.

"What?"

"We're living in a cyberpunk dystopia, but we don't even get the neat bionic stuff."

"Would you trust a corporation with that?" I replied. "They'd probably charge a subscription fee and raise it on you every year."

Not Hakeem Jeffries assisting in pushing that Overton window further to the right by helping smear the winner of a democratic primary courtesy of an entitled and sex pest who thinks he is owed a place in power.

That would never happen, right?
Hakeem Jeffries says of Cuomo's attacks on Mamdani for living in a rent controlled apartment: "It's a legitimate issue that has been raised, and the [Mamdani] campaign is going to have to address it."
No, this isn't in bat country.

When he couldn’t get to play the game, Rory could get a little #grumpy, but Katie knew very well how to handle him and he managed to survive through his sister’s birthday party without and need for a hospital stay.

The game waited for him, though. At home. It wasn’t going anywhere.

I'd never seen a grown man tug my sleeve like a child. As Daryl pointed to the night sky, he shouted, "Keith, we have to follow the rainbow! It'll lead us somewhere magical!" I knew then that the mushrooms he'd taken an hour ago had kicked in.

The people rooting for Trump to send the National Guard to Washington DC are the same who said Obama was going to send the National Guard to round them up to FEMA death camps.

The projection and hypocrisy knows no bounds.
I'd expected my apartment to be a sanctuary from the city's chaos. Instead, I entered to find Thomas in the living room, his dust-covered clothes, the walls riddled with holes, and all the electronics shattered. "You can hear the humming, right?" he asked frantically.

I liked the idea of Jubilee when it first started taking off, but after that Medhi Hasan v. 20 Far Right Conservatives, all I have to say is Jesus Christ.

The other day, okay, she walks up to our floor manager Tom and, little dew drops in her eyes, the picture of #innocence, she goes on and on about her little brother being in town, and her dog’s cancer until he gives her the rest of the week off. Paid. No need to guess who has to do her work.

"Would you go through a wormhole if it took you to another dimension?" Adrian asked as we sat on top of the roof, staring at the stars.

"Does it have free healthcare?"

"No, but it does have flying cars and a colony on Mars."

"What do deductibles look like?"

"About the same."

"Pass." #vss365
My thoughts wandered as Tom continued to talk, unaware I wasn't paying attention. His contrarian nature had been annoying me since we arrived. He then gave me a look and asked, "So, what are your thoughts on moral relativism?"

"What?"

"Your thoughts?"

"Shut up, Tom."

Only if you won't tell them how creative I get in a pinch, haha.

"The world is full of deviants," his voice boomed. "People no longer fear the one true god, and that's been the collapse of this country."

"Amen!" someone shouted from the back. All I could think was this wasn't the loving god I was raised with, but scripture twisted to ferment fear. #vss365
and that is the end of my stoner thought run.
While the world chased productivity and profit, dismissing Brodie and me as pool floating burnouts, we were, in fact, savants at making bongs. Didn't that count for something? I once watched Brodie transform an old pool filter into one of the sickest bongs around. Who were they to judge? #vss365

The lead knight nodded and said, “It is not a county for men to live in but the coal is plentiful.” Ryan looked around and said, “I take the red rot has reached here for this #skirmish to happen? I have seen the rotting fields on my way here.” #vss365
