Commentary: Anyone Else Have Those Weird Dreams Where Sobbing Future Generations Beg You To Change Course?
I have tickets to see @themountaingoats.bsky.social at Carnegie hall, which is wild. Maybe they’ll bring out Kiki and Herb to reprise their version of No Children, famously played on that stage 22 years ago youtu.be/pOtibn1zZYk?...
Me in the group chat after: “Clearly the only solution to this if for you to murder my character”
DnD is very fun because what do you mean a group of friends get to emotionally torture each other’s made up problems while also infiltrating a dragon cult and learning the secrets of the time god?
Images of an old silver 1999 Toyota Corolla for sale
You want a car that gets the job done? You want a car that's hassle free? You want a car that literally no one will ever compliment you on? Well look no further. The 1999 Toyota Corolla. Let's talk about features. Bluetooth: nope Sunroof: nope Fancy wheels: nope Rear view camera: nope...but it's got a transparent rear window and you have a fucking neck that can turn. Let me tell you a story. One day my Corolla started making a strange sound. I didn't give a shit and ignored it. It went away. The End. You could take the engine out of this car, drop it off the Golden Gate Bridge, fish it out of the water a thousand years later, put it in the trunk of the car, fill the gas tank up with Nutella, turn the key, and this puppy would fucking start right up. This car will outlive you, it will outlive your children. Things this car is old enough to do: Vote: yes
Consent to sex: yes Rent a car: it IS a car This car's got history. It's seen some shit. People have done straight things in this car. People have done gay things in this car. It's not going to judge you like a fucking Volkswagen would. Interesting facts: This car's exterior color is gray, but it's interior color is grey. In the owner's manual, oil is listed as "optional." When this car was unveiled at the 1998 Detroit Auto Show, it caused all 2,000 attendees to spontaneously yawn. The resulting abrupt change in air pressure inside the building caused a partial collapse of the roof. Four people died. The event is chronicled in the documentary "Bored to Death: The Story of the 1999 Toyota Corolla You wanna know more? Great, I had my car fill out a Facebook survey. Favorite food: spaghetti Favorite tv show: Alf Favorite band: tie between Bush and the Gin Blossoms This car is as practical as a Roth IRA. It's as middle-of-the-
When I ran the CarFax for this car, I got back a single piece of paper that said, "It's a Corolla, It's fine." Let's face the facts, this car isn't going to win any beauty contests, but neither are you. Stop lying to yourself and stop lying to your wife. This isn't the car you want, it's the car you deserve: The fucking 1999 Toyota Corolla. Google map of cars location
Never forget: 8 years ago a random person on Craigslist wrote the most effective ad for the Toyota Corolla, ever.
“Ass ass ass, and Ham ham ham” (Rhianna, 2010)as it was taught to me as it should be spread to others.
Vibe vs buy: you've never been paying for the code; you're paying for "someone else has thought this problem through in much more depth that I'm willing or able to"
Peaches remains undefeated.
If you can see Night Side Songs at the Lincoln Center Theatre you absolutely must.
Look, Chicago is the coolest actual city in the US, but I’m sorry, you show me these bridges and I’m gonna think about Dave Matthew’s bus 10 times out of 10
Anyway. Sometimes I remember why I do different things now. This is much healthier for me.
The other day I was at a party with stats people and a guy was like “what would I know you from” and I’ve never lied faster in my life. (No one should know me for any reason because fuck that it’s gross. I’m not introducing myself at a party with my CV. Even if it is better than his…)
It’s one of those American cities that can’t exist anywhere else.
God I love NOLA.
I am increasingly of the opinion that there should be approximately zero production code written in Python. Lovely language. Great gowns. Beautiful gowns. Not where it shines.
NYC! Fresh off of our run in Puerto Vallarta, we're bringing our new show Double InDUMBnity back to Green Room 42 for one night only on Sunday, March 22 at 7 pm! Missed it this December? Here's your chance!

one interesting thing about Cambridge UK is that their thrift stores are all named for some dire cause. like you look up "men's vintage" on Google Maps and it directs you to a shop called "Chemotherapy for Service Dogs"
If people had winter tires and knew how to walk on wet ice I would 100% agree
Also this storm is more complex: it isn’t freezing cold so it’s slippery as fuck out there. This is a bad time to be bad at this so thank god for the dress rehearsal!
Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.
I mean it was like three weeks ago so it’s a good thing, but I like that the structural response to this storm (both from the govt and from citizens) has been better than the last one. New York: An adult city that learns!!
just an an addendum to this, last storm he offered $19/hour with a possible increase to $28/hour after a certain amount of time worked, but i imagine that number wasn’t attractive enough so this time he was just like, $30 for everyone. adaptability!
One of the great tragedies of my life is that the only karaoke song that is firmly in my key is Jarvis’ Cunts Are Still Running The World and every karaoke joint in New York is run by puritans.
My third postdoc (six months in Finland four years after that) was very much also the pit of despair. (My fourth postdoc was a delight, my fifth was a placeholder)
Ok I don’t know there was a non-live version of this until now youtu.be/uX1e3XMNEoc?...
IIRC I found natural bridge first because I had a mountain goats bootleg where they covered it and I was like “well this song is exceptional, I should look into it” and so I went to the terrifying record store An Horse worked at and found a copy.
A very good choice.
Lookout Mountain Lookout Sea came out my last year of grad school, but the one I was obsessed with was The Natural Bridge
It’s funny because so often those “very important” gen x lyricists/poets were just good and not like groundshaking. But even now I’ll be listening to one of his songs I’ve heard a thousand time and some will hit me like a truck.
