You remember when you went to more than two websites. You probably wish you still did. I was late to reading swan boy and I'm still catching up but it's reminding me of when the corners of the internet hid fun things to show you instead of endless pain. Follow branson and read his comic. NOW

My dad died. We had a complicated relationship but he loved me very much and taught me that something has less power over you if you can laugh at it.

The last few years of his life I watched Parkinsons steal more and more of the things he loved doing from him, but he had his friends, and his family and his sense of humor right up to the end.

He had no filter at all, and would constantly hurt people's feelings without even realizing it. I watched him make friends and drive them away over and over again in an endless cycle. But the friends that stuck by him became like family.

He wanted to come to all of my comedy shows. I usually didn't let him. He drove me crazy in a thousand ways. He loved me more than he understood me.

We used to go out to the field near the house where I grew up whenever there was a meteor shower and stay up late watching shooting stars together. On long car trips we'd listen to Bill Bryson audiobooks.

You can tell we've had a bunch of new neighbors move into our mostly-student neighborhood because for the last hour the smoke alarms have all been going off one by one in the buildings around us.

Today while I was out running errands I ate a sausage from a cart and caught the 5 minutes of a free puppet show where Crocodile Satan played an accordian and sang about the coming apocalypse for crocodiles only. Happy labor day everyone

The difference between a badly-made movie and a trash movie is that a badly made movie is bad out of laziness, and a trash movie has been made by passionate idiots who put the maximum energy into all the wrong directions. Good trash is transcendent, it practically *hums*

Trash movies are embraced and enjoyed because they are symphonies of human errors. Wrong-headed humans pursuing a bad idea is simply amusing in ways bad works built off spread sheets and algorithms aren’t.
