LOOK AT THE BOOTS I SAID
Tan boots on a brown shoebox, poorly photographed. Handmade by Oldspeed MFG.
My friend Dave started a boot company and made me these boots and everyone should look at them. Look at the boots.
βweβre saying war againβ does a big war βnow hang on just a minute!β
Why go through all that trouble to rename the department of defense
Being a depressed guy at CrossFit is a good bit
The Chris Fleming comedy special is a good comedy special.
I like that weβve all agreed to the term βfeedβ. βIt came across my feedβ, βI strapped instagram to my face like a bag of oats.β βSome rich guy built for me a trough, where he shovels a slurry of barely edible matter. And it is there I go to feed.β etc

If I did that game winning hockey goal Iβd project the video of it on the front of my house for the rest of my life, Iβd never be able to talk about anything else, itd be printed on my clothes, the coolness of it would effectively cripple me, and thatβs why I donβt do the game winning hockey goal
Maybe I was put on this earth to look at my phone
I get to try again tomorrow with another coffee.
Just a rare βnice thingsβ tweet. Itβs also 45 and sunny.
A new bookstore opened in my town today and there was a line down the block to get in when it opened. I stopped by later with a coffee from a few doors down and it was still too crowded to buy anything.
Letterboxd screenshot Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) Watched by Branson Reese 28 Apr 2022 Abrams isn't a man so much as he's an avatar of cultural entropy. If you make something popular enough eventually you will die or sell it off and and a person in thick rimmed glasses whose main artistic vision is that he loves to have meetings will take it and sandblast it until it's nothing. I hate to see this happen here but maybe it's good that this happened. Maybe every franchise should collapse into a version of itself that makes shareholders nod and shake each others' hands. We should learn to speak in a language that rich people who don't dream can't comprehend.
i often think about this review
very very excited (& nervous! stage jitters!) to share news of a project that my person & I have been working on for so long now

One thing that's fun is that if you're black and you don't have much experience, it's woke dei if you get the job, and if you're black and you have all the experience in the world, you're an out of touch elite who is not really black and doesn't deserve the job.
Depends on what you think her job is! Her boss likely thinks its to do exactly what she did: be a weird monster.
I live in PA in an area with a large population that will be targeted by ice and it is a crazy experience knowing that your adorable little town is going to turn into a war zone at any moment.
Thanks pal
Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."
Ten years sober today. Good boy, Danny.

Schumer: ballβs in your court
Republicans: stab the ball, tear it apart, set it on fire, rip up the court and sell the turf to Bahrain
Schumer: hey you guys are out of balls
Republicans: weβre gonna kill your families
Schumer: ok weβll pass funding for new balls but youβve GOT to read the rules
the last few weeks have really put me on team pluribus virus
Recovering alcoholic still canβt figure out why he canβt turn off the endless despair machine. It must be the machines fault.
Every time I open this app I think: I know how bad everything is. Does it help me to know each individual badness or am I just driving myself into a hopeless level of despair? Not sure! A fun chicken and egg and hopeless despair problem!
