Take my photo pretty mama

Also more parasites as well.

This guy is probably 20lbs of tapeworms.

Easy to go broke on tour, especially if you’ve a large band. Definitely helps they’ve their own label. They also seemed to have higher than norm ticket prices when they were in town here.

As if we needed more proof that the company that owns DE is absolute trash.

The dad wasn’t really tilted, I got the sense that he’s always this apologetic about his son being “a little retarded.”

Or how many parents just kinda suck.

Joined a random game of Helldivers recently. Two guys and a kid are playing, one is the dad. I’m the random on the team.

Cool. Kinda wholesome at first. Kid is easily under 10 though and it’s the highest difficulty and you can tell that when things pick up they have no clue what’s going on.

Totally cool. Part of what makes the game great is a little co op goes a long way and dying isn’t really serious. And they got that, there was light hearted team killing, everyone seems focused on the most important aspect of the game: having fun.

But when the dad died and gets stuck spectating his kid, he keeps calling him a retard when he’s not understanding some gameplay mechanic.

What impact would a nationwide guerilla campaign of vandalism against say, Berkshire do?

It’s a culture that heavily pushes self identity. Then you combine that with poor schooling and a sheltered upbringing.

If you’re of limited education, means, and exposure, when it comes time to start outfitting that identity it becomes very easy to place yourself in a box. And that box becomes the lens you see the world through.

Brad Pitt cool guy whatta dude

It brings me joy to see this phrase in the wild still

I’ve long had a playlist with it as a title, still makes me laugh.

From Pittsburgh l, grew up across the river from a coke plant. If you’ve read an article on US Steel being sold recently it’s likely got stock footage from the plant.

But it never stops. These facilties run 24/7. In fact a lot of the ovens can break if they’re not running.

And then there’s the fact that the hills bottle things in (PGH sits at the base of the Appalachians). It gets really bad when there is a temperature inversion over the area.

It’s not as bad as it used to be though. Dad’s generation always talked of how the snow would be dirty after a few hours, which I don’t really see.

Reminds me of one of my favorite Louie bits.

Kinda odd and you can see it in my comments, but yesterday I made a Lynch reference.

Then I talk about David Fincher, but since I always mix those two Davids up I was very consciously not typing Lynch later.

That was all before news went public so needless to say he was on my mind a lot of yesterday. Very Lynchian.

The windchimes are not what they seem.

Helldivers 2 for similar reasons.

I assume it wasn’t all at once, it must have taken at least a day or two.

Feel like your chances of seeing one of the dozens of people who hold like half the wealth in the world is pretty slim on the street.

These are just two tickets to see Jersey Boys?

There’s a few at work who have admitted to still playing. Blizzard owes a lot to the very concrete social structures built around the game.

I’d argue places like Sheetz serve a similar function in the US
