yeah, they're going to lose and we're going to win.

yes I am comparing myself to springsteen because in addition to the love/hate of my work, I, too, write stories about men wanting to escape their small towns while also filled with misery over their sins and a deep hope for redemption

Andy Boyle @andymboyle.bsky.social · 19h

reading a book about the making of "born to run" and the entire time springsteen is like "this fucking sucks and I want to die" and also "this is the greatest music ever made" every two minutes and goddamn does that make me feel a lot better about the art I make

Hey, I'm trying to learn more about toxicity on Bluesky. How often do you see toxicity on here? Where in the app do you see it?

just realized the dril drunk driving tweet also works for regular driving

wint @dril
drunk driving may kill a lot of people, but it also helps a lot of people get to work on time, so, it;s impossible to say if its bad or not,

The grand unified “Everyone is Twelve” theory is a legit contribution to contemporary thought and critique. We really are ruled by evil adult children!

still toxic until it’s at least 15

Andy Boyle @andymboyle.bsky.social · 1d

would be unfortunate for this to become more proof of this toxicity

why is it whenever they talk about “intellectual diversity” it means bringing in annoying guys who suck shit and you don’t want to be around
