I was a high school senior in 1984. One of my social studies teachers that year challenged us on what we thought might be the most disturbing things we'd see in the future, and, like, half the class said nuclear war. I was reading a lot of Ray Bradbury at the time,& I'd just finished Fahrenheit 451.

Holy shit, was he ever right about the whole interactivity with t.v., the live hunt, etc...in my eighteen year old head, a public televised execution seemed like the next step, proof of a society in decline, what would it even be like to be alive for that?!

"Jake, you & I know this is Civics 101, these are the Nazi gears on which America turns! Come on, man, be cool..."

HOLY SHIT - Tapper plays Johnson footage of GOP candidate Brandon Herrera describing moms as "cum trophies," mentions he called Nazi machine guns "the original ghetto blasters," & asks Johnson how he can support him. Mike says "he has run a very effective campaign ... that was his persona online"

To be clear, I'm not complaining- it's a loaner, covered by insurance, & better than walking. I am, however, politely suggesting that #Kia please cease upholstering your automobiles with what I can only assume are lovingly prepared hides sourced from Satan's own minions.

Sportscaster-I'll be honest - I was floored they considered this replay safe for broadcast, given the intense & deep focus with which Witkoff fellates Putin. Other Sportscaster- Seriously, balls & all, Witkoff is all in on this one! You could even say he's in it to...wein...it!

Steve Witkoff addresses his true love, the war criminal Putin: "We were all talking about when we retire we'll have all these incredible stories and incredible memories and yours will be right at the top of it all."

I've worked since I was eleven & if there's one thing I've learned from working for forty nine years straight, it's fuck Dr. Oz.

Dr Oz: "If we could just get the average American to feel so healthy, so with it, so vibrant that they want to work just one extra year, that's worth $1 trillion to our GDP every year"

Now that I'm an Elderly Person (Snobby Record Store Guy Edition!), I can officially yell both "GET THE FUCK OFF MY LAWN! IDIOT." and "ARE YOU LISTENING TO ANGINE DE POITRINE?! NO?! WELL STOP FUCKING TALKING TO ME & GO DO THAT. IDIOT." www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8nkJSqm/

There is so much fucking garbage behavior willfully & enthusiastically taking place in the world right now. I have watched this twelve times in a row now & it's hard to breathe. That this instrument still exists & is playable, that has to fucking mean something, right?!

This 1679 “Sabionari” Stradivarius is the only playable guitar by Antonio Stradivari left in this world.🤗 So take just a moment to hear a sound that’s well over 300 years old! @55SweetThing #globalmuseum #music #guitar #Stradivarius

RFK Jr: Kids with autism will never hold a job. They'll never play baseball. They'll never write a poem. They'll never go out on a date.

RFK Jr is now taking over the federal office in charge of special education services.

"Seriously, take a fuckin' look around- like a goddamn fried apple pie is gonna make things worse?!", commented a McDonalds spokesperson.

"YARRR, FIRE UP THE LIBERAL CLONING DEVICE, POST HASTE, MATEY..." I know, I know...it was, like, eight stupid dialects.

Trump’s name finally came down from the Kennedy Center, and I think this man speaks for a lot of us: “Let me go down here and see for myself when they pull this down, so I can see the beginning of his end.”

I'm sixty so thinking about death is my hobby when I'm not trying to find out if Furrs is still around anyway I always thought I'd go with cremation but now I'm thinking claymation would annoy way more people & isn't that what death is really about, just one final middle finger at your loved ones?

Bring the Payne, each & every day.

Australian physicist Ruby Payne-Scott was the world's first female radio astronomer. She played a foundational role in how we understand the sun & universe today. During #WWII she developed top-secret radar technology for tracking enemy aircraft. She died #OTD in 1981. #WomenInSTEM #radioastronomy

Love music, worked at record stores for twenty two years & as a door guy at a bar for seven of those, so I've seen a few hundred bands live...but the worst?! Jane's Addiction, 1988, Lone Star in K.C...Perry, Dave, & Eric were junked out as fuck. Perry thought he was in Kansas the whole time.

Blind Melon. They opened for Alice in Chains and Ozzy. The lead singer was wasted and could barely stand. He spent 90% of the show sitting or on his knees.

FULL DISCLOSURE- while I do not actively dislike Tool, I am, at best, a casual fan. That said, as I was assembling my list, I realized I've somehow seen Tool live a total of...nine or ten times. Which seems...totally weird.
