Priest: the following service is scheduled for a one psalm Congregation (raucously): ONE PSALM! Jim Ross: Bah gawd that’s Johanne Sebastien Bach’s music

me walking across my apartment to a hungarian infantryman in 1510: yes, I've been tangled up with an ottoman before, rough going.

i'm going to be a homer type figure in the post-apocalypse, but i'll recite some heinous 2021 covid slop era romantasy by memory and do all the voices like they're simpsons characters

professors of the world, you cannot do a lecture about spelling and grammar when your spelling is bad and you clearly do not reread what you write in course materials.

the edgefield is perhaps america's greatest example of combining beautiful scenery with unbeatable musician lineups into one horrifying nightmare of a venue

Cañada: Mesa College of San Mateo: Mesa Foothill: Hill Portland CC: 1 hill, 1 mesa, 2 not otherwise specified

getting $120,000 for a grant to try to disentangle whether wrestling is sociology or sociology is wrestling, or everything is wrestling and sociology is one branch off the unified godhead embodied in wrestling as an avatar form

I will enjoy a politically indecipherable celebration next may, in that the international day of the worker, and the birthday of john woo, an arch-reactionary director, are both May 1. A Better Tomorrow, yeah, that's the world to win.

an abbot and costello routine I had with a friend yesterday underlined to me how difficult it is that sports analysis youtube has a guy named jomboy and a guy named join bois both doing baseball stuff at the same time

when i lived in the bay area, i did miss the week of the year where all the dorks that didn't have real jobs left to go to the desert and you could get a nice lunch with no line

6% of people who view my youtube shorts are doing so on a smart tv. You have a 76" ultra HD TV full of conflict minerals and you're watching SHORTS with it??

"oh yeah you gotta squeeze limes fresh for this, it's just not the same w" shut up! you're mixing it with moonshine made from furniture!

I saw a post that if you turn a video clip to black and white and put the death riders theme over it, it makes any subject look like an existential threat to society Well I came up with this:

was wondering why my neighborhood was feeling intensely cisgendered just now and well, megan moroney's playing moda center. mystery solved.

it's never good when you write an essay, am pretty pessimistic in it, gets accepted, in the edit line-item make it more pessimistic, and then a year later find it sounds like absolute liberal bullshit still

found out today that the harp on the Guinness logo faces the other way from the one on the irish coat of arms, creating weird feelings about the myth that the seal of the US faces the olive branch but they have to flip everything to the arrows during a war

me, a middle millennial urban planning writer to an elder millennial smoking a clove cigarette: yeah, I also write about pavement

writing a project about bad urban development in portland to exclusively hardcore music on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon is the moodest mood that's ever mooded.

mistyped on google scholar and have now seen the geographic history of oregon literature from 3026 on and I gotta say, I was not expecting those rock facts AT ALL

listening to old Trump Prophecy episode by @worstpossible.world and the part about the guy's thyroid being fucked. when my mom was in psych residency in the 80s, her supervisor sent a patient with sudden fervent religiosity direct to emergency care. It was their thyroid. It was so routine.

One of several anti-mystery mysteries in that episode. I think stuff like thyroids causing extreme religious devotion without previous cause is something that's concerning...except in a religious tradition where turning on a dime and being born again is not only common, but expected.

i learned a lot in grad school about confounding variables: in this case study it's "rate my mattress is deteriorating" and "rate my body is deteriorating on its own" and I gotta make a consumer choice from that shitheap

i appreciate clinic labs and academic department buildings for being the last holdouts on 'disintegrating far side cartoon mosaic' as the aesthetic

moda center is not the only huge project in that part of portland, all of which are kinda *shrug emoji* in terms of if and when they get built. but like, the basis of any negotiation is you gotta tell the other party to fuck off at some point. otherwise it's all self-negotiation all the way down
