As I watch footage of explosions in Beirut and dust clouds towering above apartment blocks in Tehran, I keep coming back to something that I witnessed back in the summer of '04, during my first tour in Iraq. But first, let's start with a question:

Have you ever heard someone wail?

Gotta hand it to the guy… he’s made the whole global economy just like one of his casinos.

congrats to everyone who voted for this because their burrito taxi was expensive

Chicago.

Pauly Walnuts very seriously telling someone that “it’s called Broad daylight because women light up the world”

international women’s day

Too low, especially considering who is at 15.

Well at some point between the Olympics and the first F1 race my small VPN managed to make its way onto some blacklists. Not a great development.

don’t forget to destroy your clocks tonight, walk away from your mortgage, just start driving, you’re free

Trent Rez in the head like a hole vid

lol... didn't look close at the background of the photo; the floor is covered in it.

Love Hornets as an opener. Sorry no Killer Parties. Maybe the last good part of living is when the confetti goes flying during that song. You [probably] got it for Hoodrat, tho.

We elected a malignant dumbass president. Twice.

A dog named Barkwayne

The way that passage is worded is hysterical because it tries to imply that Trump knew what phrase to associate with FDR, which he absolutely did not.

Cannot wait to hear how that sounds in Chicago with a full-throated Salt Shed outdoor crowd.

Literally just made a student loan payment. Couldn't they have done this yesterday?

Photos of all the school children killed by a US strike in Minab, Ireland

The United States killed all these children last Saturday.

170 of them.

Every. Single. One.

Never forget a stats teacher in grad school saying, "'Variance.' The answer is always 'variance'"

Both those shows were great. Had just moved here. First time I saw Art Brut. Love them so much I bought one of Eddie Argos' 'I'll paint an album cover for €100' and had him do BAGIA. The letter he sent with was all about how awesome that tour was and was so great I framed it as well.

I get annoyed that I have to hear Chicago Seemed Tired Last Night (at the expense of something I'd enjoy more) at every show because of where I am. One of only two B-tier songs on Sep Sunday. But was also unaware these shows were all BAGIA so I ain't gonna complain come June.

Think 'For Boston' is the only b-side/bonus track etc. that I still haven't heard live.

Kind of amazing how many of these I agree with.

I have an ex that occasionally I think I should not have broken up with her, then I remember she took me to see The Lobster.

His movies are bad, too.

And why is he doing it in Welsh?

Same. Closest to me was $3.29 on Wednesday morning. Then $3.49 Wednesday afternoon. Now $3.79.

There should be a tab on the top of Bsky that's just a 'Mamdani' feed when you need to check out of the horrors completely and see post after post of someone just being decent doing politics.

Look I can think of one advantage of getting all the war criminals together in the same room.

LIke he lied to get his US citizenship. Seems like it'd be easy to make him a not-citizen and deport him.
