I don’t know if I’m all that convinced of dream interpretation but the most frequent recurring setting of my dreams are food courts and it fascinates me

15h

I don’t know. Maybe I just liked malls as a kid. I still enjoy a food court now and then. But I find myself dreaming of being in them a LOT.

Thinkin of goin on the root beer subreddit. See what recommendations I can get. Whats goin on in that world. Bet there’s some root beer guys out there that know their stuff

So Iowa democrats brilliant strategy to save democracy is to be like “I’m not even a democrat. I vote Republican. I’m actually just a Republican”. Again.

Formosa is crucial to the Iowa City area food ecosystem because it keeps those who do not know better away from the places with decent sushi

It’s a pressure release valve to keep the places like Sushiya and Oyama uncongested by people who treat sushi as a trend or a status symbol. They don’t know ball.

Learning to discern between which restaurants exist for the love of the food and which exist for conspicuous consumption is crucial. I’ve been duped by hip looking, trendy places before.

This guy that YAF of Iowa was excited to bring to IA has such an incredible name. Totally world affirming for me to see this name and this graphic. Tim and Eric shit for real

Have never heard of this fucking man in my life btw. And I keep catalogue of these right wing losers, grifters and bootlickers. This guy is BORING! He wreaks of it

Just taking photos of the women’s v neck t shirts at the college bookstore. Very cool!

Burt Folsom is a good name. It’s a waste on such a fucking meager worm of a man. Burt Folsom is like another Blaze Foley. Not this fucking DWEEB

I think a really great example of this is actually just Resident Evil. Which was an adaptation of the capcom game Sweet Home. Which was an adaptation of the Kiyoshi Kurosawa film of the same title. These dopes don’t even have respect for the founding texts.

A thing that you have to understand about fans of video games, anime, etc. is that they fundamentally do not understand adaptation. They understand fan service. They want fan service.

Sweet Home is actually very cool because the film and video game were developed and released alongside one another.

This guy is always sleeping in new and innovative ways

Somebody needs to make Rob Sand answer to having the wrong regional bastard name. He is a usurper! He’s stolen the Nixon Lauridsen fortune and aims to steal the throne of Iowa from the true heir, Rob Soil!

12 Sept

lol. Lmao even

Would love for anybody to ask Rob Sand if he thinks aid to Israel is an appropriate and worthwhile way to allocate Iowa tax dollars. If so, does he not see that as a massive electoral liability given Israel’s unpopularity amongst voters?

11 Sept

He felt the need to comment decisively on trans athletes when he was a guest on conservative radio. Would love to hear more about his politics regarding the country he called our greatest ally.

Look at that form, that is impeccable mansplaining stance. I brought 4 movies to talk about and quickly realized how hard it would be to not go over time. Coulda done the whole thing on Blow Out

I work at Trader Joe’s and I came up with this game, the “Bubba Gump Game” where you have to name as many shrimp products as you can without stopping, in the affect of Bubba Gump. I think I can name them all at this point

Been a good week! Well. Mostly good. (It’s ok Ridley, you made Alien. You made Bladerunner)

I think Zach Cregger should explain himself less to the dull minded fans and just say “They gave me the keys to the franchise, who the fuck are you?” I think his output is deserving of that attitude. I know that’s not realistic and he’s a nice guy but I just wish he could

Resident evil fans talking about what they deserve in an adaptation like they’re owed anything. Give me a break. Gamers deserve nothing. Sorry!

Frankie loves the movies! He’s locked in. Didn’t figure him for being into French new wave but I guess he’s even more pretentious than I am

@rockhardcauc.us listening to the recent episode about bad dem ads, and Grassley posting the modeling ads. Izzy got her wish from early 25

Dead serious question for skateboarders and street BMXers: why do you do it in regular pants. Like jeans and chinos. Belts. I’m not saying get into Lycra. Fuck that. But I’m sure there’s something more comfortable

Very excited about this

They closed their set at Mission Creek with Stonefruit and it was unbelievable. My favorite show ever. It was such a treat seeing them live

Blind bought this movie today and this is a very serendipitous first line, during an early heat wave this year.

Criterion Sale picks so far… still have plenty of time add/remove before I order.

Ok swapped out Fire Walk With Me cause I’m gonna get that in the Twin Peaks A to Z collection… maybe Mulholland in its place?

I’m always a little surprised at how many people go into a community space and loudly complain about it. Just trash talking the thing you’re taking part in? Makes you look like a cynical ass dork

“This isn’t precisely how I would have done it if I had complete control over every single variable with no constraints” yeah ok. Guess we just shouldn’t bother if it doesn’t meet your standard

Idk if I’m prepared for the candidate for Governor of Iowa to be making ranch dressing jokes as Israel threatens to nuke Iran.

5 June

His whole campaign is about avoiding saying anything that could possibly alienate anyone and it’s such a preposterously stupid position to maintain any time, let alone during a point of terminal decay and ongoing geopolitical catastrophe. Fuck

26 May

@murderxbryan.bsky.social I really gotta pay more attention to what you guys are up to because the Dadbod Veteran videos have me in a stranglehold. Like some Lovecraftian totem. I’m totally absorbed by it

23 May

Thinking about getting into cheese

Getting very annoying listening to dumbasses discuss talking with chat bots as though they are talking with God itself. Convening with the divine! And it’s just Google.

Just walkin around downtown. Just around. Haven’t decided if I am slinking tonight or if I am lumbering.
