I haven't been by in ages, but Bill from D4 still (partially?) owns the place, yeah?

OP for those asking:

The only just posted it on IG this morning, I guess. And, yeah, for those of us coming from the east, this is great!

You work there? I was just talkin' in terms of "don't have to idle in lousy lake street traffic for quite so long," but i'm curious what the new space'll be like!

Extreme Noise moving down Lake Street is good, to me, personally, in my opinion.

Tucker Carlson accuses Chabad of fomenting holy war via Iran strikes The Former Fox News Host Alleged the Movement Is Behind Inciting a Religious War to Rebuild the Jewish Temple on Jerusalem's Temple Mount. A Chabad Spokesperson Called the Claims a 'Dangerous Blood Li...

In the same way blaming Israel solely for the Iran war is a way of offloading responsibility and maintaining belief in the goodness of the US, Tucker Carlson saying Jews want to build the Third Temple allows him to ignore how much more powerful Christian Zionists are. www.haaretz.com/us-news/2026...

dudes truly, sincerely, and emphatically rock

"I have studied WWII for years" either this is a lie, or you should ask for your money back, clown.

Again, the Spencer's aesthetic!

Like, what is this? Braveheart, Minority Report, Transformers, Deadpool, Breaking Bad?...it's just the "interests" section in the tinder profile of the shittiest dude you've ever met.

Genuine horrors aside, what's interesting to me is how pathetically shallow of an aesthetic these guys are trying to ape: It's like a militarized Spencer's Gifts. Just wall to wall Deadpool stuffies and HALO branded energy drinks and novelty condoms.

huh?

We crushin' beers boys?

Crucially, the nook is a 3.2 bar (or whatever the modern equivalent term for a bar that only sells beers and wine is? IDK) so we're talking a LOT of volume, but conspicuously limited alcohol content, which seems like a recipe for trouble after about half an hour, max, to me.

but maybe....?....

COUNT ZERO (1986) by William Gibson

very very much same

See, i shoulda gotten grouchier earlier. I spent years tiptoing (heh) around various iterations of that exact problem, thinking "well, don't wanna be an ogre, so..."

Eh, back to the drawing board.

Chinga la MIGA

My kids absolutely LOST it when he flipped over a bunch of trucks with giant green middle fingers. And, frankly, rightly so.

Oh, i had to do the exact opposite last night: "Pick it up and take it to your room. Because it's yours. And if you don't i'm throwing it in the garbage, and again, because it's yours."

what a world where the obviously better option here is the bitchy 80s space cop and not the expansive euro-sino space opera

ended it pretty well, i thought, too! Mission accomplished, reputation cemented, nice job everyone let's pack it in.

"Sorry bud, i know you're sneezing a lot, but this is Die Spitz and they're your new favorite band. I don't make the rules. Okay, I do make the rules, but tough."

Kiddo home sick from school today is NOT happy with my work soundtrack

Yeah! I like him! I liked that show when i was younger and didn't know what i know now, or have the taste i think i've developed since then. People can like a silly space cowboy show, that's fine! It just holds no value for me anymore beyond "huh. Well, okay."

Also, idk if there's anything to back this up, total baseless speculation! but sneaking suspician that he and JW are still buds - they've just done toooo many projects together to not be close, y'know?

I just wrote the words "nuts and bolts" in an email and Gemini told me I should say "fundamentals" instead, and I am apoplectic. I'm sorry a pile of nuts and bolts was your MOM but some of us can write our own emails.
