I (M) saw Sinead O’Connor in the early '90s and almost the entire audience was 13-year-old girls dressed in black who screamed every time Sinead made a weird hand gesture. Still probably the best concert I’ve ever been to - Sinead was a fantastic real singer and her band was tight. RIP and fuck Joe Pesci.

It was last year! I found out they were playing in my area … the day after they played. I haven’t been to a concert in 18 years but I would have gone to that one.

He doesn’t even write his tweets, let alone his speeches.

Hitler actually put a great deal of work and practice time into becoming a good public speaker. Can you imagine Trump putting that kind of effort into anything? Even golf?

At the start of every summer, I rediscover grape soda and I’m like “holy shit this stuff is great”. And then about 7 cans into the case I remember why I stopped drinking it. It’s kind of funny that it’s only ever available in the store brand, never in a “real” brand.

I used to love asking for a can of Diet Coke … and then seeing everybody around me with that “shit, I could have gotten a whole can?” look on their faces.

the health benefits of remaining active and an optimistic mindset

Not to mention the health benefits of being fucking rich.

I went to grad school in the '90s and one of our friends used to show up to our house parties with her infant in tow and get blackout drunk and pass out, and we would have to collectively take care of the baby. Weird to think that kid is in his 30s by now, if he’s even still alive. The double whammy of fetal alcohol syndrome and growing up in Florida would be hard to overcome.

We’re on our front foot

He’s on his ass … which is remarkable since he’s talking out of it at the same time.

Stab Persians with really long sticks

The good news is that global warming (I prefer to call it Anthropogenic Runaway Global Heating because of the acronym) is going to completely fuck us all anyway, to the extent that plastic in the environment isn’t going to matter by comparison. At least oil turned into plastic and buried isn’t oil turned into CO2.

It translates to “you have Play-Doh on your forehead”.

I haven’t really eaten fast food in years, but a few months ago I was sort of forced to get lunch at a Burger King because it was the only place around. It (a Whopper and onion rings) was actually pretty tasty, a lot better than what I was expecting. But I just felt so physically bad after eating it, like I just wanted to lay down somewhere and die. Maybe it was all the salt, I dunno. When you combine this with the insane prices, it’s a just a mystery why anyone would eat this shit regularly.

I CAN’T HANG IN THERE TIL FRIDAY

It is so demoralizing to try and explain civil asset forfeiture. I’ve never had a single person believe that it’s real when I tell them about it - everybody insists that it can’t possibly be true since it’s so flagrantly unconstitutional.

I should take a look at it. When I saw the movie in theaters, I contemptuously threw mine away without looking at it as I’d read all the books.

stop for a second to think

I think maybe I see the problem.

The cheatsheets they handed out in theaters in 1984 helped lol.

One of the book details not carried through to the movie is the Baron’s plan to put Rabban in charge initially to fuck shit up and make everybody hate him, and then hand Arrakis over to Feyd-Rautha who would seem like a savior since he (supposedly) wouldn’t be as big of a dick as Rabban. Trump-to-Vance may have a similar arc.

I own a 2003 International school bus with a DT466e. Not mechanical, obviously, but it only has 39K miles on it after a rebuild - built like a brick chicken house, as they say.
