It’s Joe!

Not to brag but I’ve been doing this jigsaw puzzle and eating chips for over 20 minutes and I haven’t eaten a single puzzle piece.

"Remember when you lived in the city? The hustle and bustle infiltrated every cell in your body. You even had a MetroCard. Then you moved here. You gave up. I will not reward that kind of mediocrity. You’re lucky I even stay open." buff.ly/8tQYIFy

I don’t really hear the word “clown” much in everyday conversation, but it comes up in early Velvet Underground songs a lot. Do you think they used it so much just to be mean to Nico since she couldn’t pronounce it?

I have not stopped laughing for a full minute

Every gothic horror:

HEY YOU TODAY'S A GREAT DAY TO GO FUCKING VOTE IF YOU'RE IN FORSYTH COUNTY NORTH FUCKING CAROLINA THE FUCKING POLLS OPEN AT 8 IN THE FUCKING MORNING GET YOUR ASS MOVING AND VOTE SOME FUCKOS OUT OF OFFICE

Guitar facts: Wahwah pedals are super fun to use but downright embarrassing to talk about. This also applies to whammy bars.

After the novel, that was pretty much what I thought would happen next.

Good Pittsburgh

Through the miracle of reading the kid is transported to the magical world of the Chicago Blackhawks

That part of recovering from a minor back injury where the weird involuntary tweaking and favoring you’re doing as a result of your original injury starts to create new minor strains and cricks in other, previously uninjured parts of your back.

Professor Harold Hill awakens to find he’s a captive in a small Midwestern town. The tight-lipped, insular residents call it River City. Who are the prisoners? Who are the wardens? Patrick McGoohan is THE MUSIC MAN. With: Leo McKern as the Mayor and Buddy Hackett as Rover

In my opinion, the right way to write Lois Lane is just “Philip Marlowe’s boyfriend is Superman”.

Last year it was a torrential rainstorm, this year it’s new puppies, but fate continues to bar me from the Drive-In Super Monster-Rama. You must go in my stead. Tell them I’ll see them next year!

Unironically the best thing ever to be made for television, possibly the best piece of dramatic art that isn’t weirdly canonized and thus unjudgeable like Shakespeare or Chekov. NGL I’m kinda mad it was ranked lower than Mad Men and Game of Thrones.

Rocking back and forth while repeating “a new guitar will not fix me” as part of my seasonal affective disorder treatment regimen.

in my talk today, as an example of the strange things you can do in comics given their sequential but also spatial/simultaneous nature, I included this gonzo panel from 1950s Batman, which I just love in all its weirdness! Yes, I have more intentionally clever examples, but something about this...

Cronenberg-ass Waffle

Looking thru a pdf instruction manual for The Mangler on internet archive. “The most important rule is have fun, and don’t get Mangled!”

We got a puppy cam so we could see when the puppies wake up, but the side effect is that I now have a button I can press on my phone at work that is more or less guaranteed to show me live video of a sleeping puppy. Friends my will has never been so tested.

I always like “Humans are super-abstract math monsters that don’t understand real feelings” is an underused Sci-Fi thing: “Jones can instantly tell you how many eggs are in these ten crates of 1 dozen each, but his art is all about mating and weird rhythmic noises with numerical tonal relationships”

Man a lot of Billy Joel songs are just grumpy old man grievances. I should record an iconic piano rocker about the trash trucks being too loud in the morning.

Mitch McConnell returns to Senate to warn his colleagues that they will be visited by three ghosts this Christmas Eve

Lukewarm take: I feel a lot of pessimism about the present is built on not realizing just how bad the past was. Like if you just read a book about poverty in a first-world country in the 1950s it's staggeringly worse than now.

It is one of my life’s little ironies that this game combines an art and production design style that are perfectly my jam™️ with actual gameplay style for which I am hopelessly and permanently incompetent.

ANDRE: And it was transcendent. Nintendo’s ever done anything like it. Wally, you’ll love it, assuming it’s ever released of course. WALLACE: That’s incredible. Incredible. [PAUSE] What other games did your uncle show you? [WAITER BRINGS THE WINE]

i am fucking losin it

Things I was frightened of as a child: - the magic mirror from the Disney Halloween special - closed shower curtains - Nuclear war - scary voices at night - a middle aged Texan farmer with a buzz haircut - a guy with a mustache who yelled at me when I got lost in a Sears - getting lost, generally

When I was young everybody put lead in their gas and then drove around spraying lead ashes on everything, but on the other hand IHOP sold crepes so it’s impossible to say whether it was bad or not.

“Gremlins” is basically just a movie about what it’s like to get a new puppy.

Oh and Stay Gold Books in Regent Square had some flood damage last night. Go browse and buy a book there today and help out a couple of wonderful booksellers. #pittsburgh #booksky #books

The best film featuring a lowlife new york hustler character study in the vein of scorsese or elaine may that also has a ressurected stop-motion aztec dinosaur god in it
