I have as many days left on the job as the number of the nation whose army could not hold me back, later moving to Wichita to do farm labour:

a tweet by Dana Gould @danagould that says:

Thinking about Rush Limbaugh and how, now that he's dead, you never, ever hear about him. No one mentions anything he did.
Because what he did had no value.
It contributed nothing worthwhile to the culture. Nothing of lasting value.
He just made anger. Every day.
Rising, blooming & fading like a fart.
Then he died & was instantly replaced by a fleet of little replicas, farting fake fury five days a week.
Creating nothing of interest or artistic value to anyone.
Seriously, what an awful way to make a living.

I saw Silent Rage at a sleepover as a wee lad and it scared the wet blueberries out of me. Still does today, but the Chuck Norris, White Wine and Light Jazz Lovemaking montage is its own kind of horror

I hope this isn’t because I talked about how many Puppet Master films there are

I think Radio Radio’s Belmundo Regal is one of the most consistent albums of all time and is delivered in a hybrid French-English patois called “chiac” that exists only in the Maritimes.

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later.

This is how Marisa and I are starting the month… Smile 2 is basically “More

I have as many days left on the job as the number of times I went to the well to draw my thoughts akin to bricks that I've laid to build my life, the lower quality bricks presenting issues:

I have as many days left on the job as the number of tons one resentfully loads, fully conscious that they are being ground between the millstones of capitalism, falling deeper into debt and owing their very soul to the corporation that exploits them:
