My friend sent a picture today from their Spirit Halloween store opening day and they had a fucking line that was so long it looked like no one in it has ever been to a Halloween store in their life.
Man, it's August SECOND.
I don't know about there but here it's 99 fucking degrees today.
Anything "Fall" related can fuck all the way off.
Society has become so gross the way we bathe in capitalism.
One of the best books I've read in at least five years.
BEE is definitely not for everyone. He's dark, sexually explicit, violent, gory.
But he's also nostalgic, mysterious, and he gets 80s rich kid LA better than anyone. And the songs he name drops here is an entire soundtrack.
There's a.... ahem.... less than zero chance the show can match this book. Extraordinary fun.
It's enraging that BEE doesn't write more frequently. #bookstodon
Yea.... I'm pretty done.
A couple of interesting FOX NEWS polls for Texas tonight. Interesting bc of the source for sure.
They show Talarico +3 and Abbott only +1.
That's pretty tasty.
One poll in July isn't going to overly excite me .... but it's also not nothing.
Very different from consensus polling thus far.
Lots of cool 90s vinyl represses are coming down the pipe.
A few I noticed....
Alice in Chains - Unplugged (huge score - no more paying hundreds of dollars for a rare record)
Smashing Pumpkins - Pisces Iscariot (this has already been recently repressed but more variants is always great)
Hole - basically their whole catalog (also pretty huge)
This country is getting one hell of a lesson in "why deregulation is a terrible thing" right now.
Sidebar, why would anyone in a band choose to wear jeans on a Warped Tour stage, let alone a Warped Stage in California in July?
You just don't see that often. That seems deeply uncomfortable.
Like, there are several lighter fabric options if you want to do long pants in Summer heat.
In general when I see people in jeans I think - wow, you really like discomfort.*
I almost never wear jeans anymore. I have seen the light.
*Unless you're a sexy woman who can pull off tight jeans 😍
Show day! Pumped.
JFC Argentina, just shake hands, say congratulations, and go home.
This halftime show has already peaked.
Animal!
🥁🥁🥁
The creek that runs kinda close (definitely too close for comfort on days like today) behind my house has risen something like 13 feet today.
Yea .... I would like this rain event to end.
25 inches of rain reported near Uvalde.
That is fucking insane.
Yo, San Antonio!
🌪 Warning
England is the only country left keeping this World Cup even remotely interesting.
Everyone else, it's like the Yankees, Lakers, and Patriots coming to the party.
Never seen that before. 🙄
🤮🤮🤮
Thrashed.
Just nowhere near good enough.
It's really that simple.
I'm not sure how we landed on John Denver. Great song, great song. Not hating on it at all.
Buuuuuut.
It's also kind of pussy. And it isn't reflective of the whole country.
I think we could have done better, is all I'm saying.
Hair metal alone could have given us a dozen belters. 🤣🤣
But I really think "I Won't Back Down" by Tom Petty could have been the one.
What song would you choose?
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Trump routinely lies about .... well, everything.
I have no idea why everyone wants to suddenly take him at his word today.
🤷♂️
England can't do THIS for twenty minutes. You gotta try and possess the ball, at least a little bit.
I'm surprised we didn't see an Offside graphic on that play. Real time he looked off to me, but sometimes angles are wonky.
Ecuador is getting blown off the pitch so far in this match.
All Mexico. Their counter is so dangerous.
Helluva finish.
