Da Miata Man @crappyoats.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I actually put that on my list bc of a October 2nd post I got the other day👀 110
Da Miata Man @crappyoats.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Behind because this ereader and a certain Archive has me chugging thru. The next two: another Mills, this time about European adventurism in the height of Industrial Rationalism. Beasts was more fun but liked this. Then Rent Boy, very cool gay thriller where some rent boys get into organ harvesting. 111
Da Miata Man @crappyoats.bsky.social · 07/10/2026My cousins kids did it for like 10 years, seemed very positive for them. 010
Da Miata Man @crappyoats.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Tunnel heads know about the right wing penchant for crying they can’t be a poet 020
Da Miata Man @crappyoats.bsky.social · 07/10/2026It’s all contained in THE TUNNEL by William Gass 140
Da Miata Man @crappyoats.bsky.social · 07/10/2026In my local community, I am known as vigorously championing two artistic projects: Infinite Jest and Tubi, the true home of transgressive cinema in the 21st century 020
Da Miata Man @crappyoats.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I never went to the palace, only the Joe, but the Joe was comfortable from what I remember 020
Da Miata Man @crappyoats.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I sat in those seats for a pistons game and they are maybe the most uncomfortable and tight setup I’ve ever been in for professional sports. 130
Da Miata Man @crappyoats.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I personally know the worlds last Mitsubishi lifetime customer and its entirely because of growing up in Bloomington-Normal 050
Da Miata Man @crappyoats.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Yea the work making MacOS more Linux like has made the use case much smaller it feels. A lot of the old timers still don’t realize how different it works now with things like brew and that’s really my only knowledge of the rationale for hating Mac’s UNIX flavor 010
Da Miata Man @crappyoats.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I should have said maybe the distros I like aren’t but yea like you’re saying, there’s not the greatest need in the world for it 110
Da Miata Man @crappyoats.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Also a bummer there’s not much movement on getting Linux builds for the M series chips 110
Da Miata Man @crappyoats.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I have read the book, it is not the work of a serious fan 140
Da Miata Man @crappyoats.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Can’t imagine something I care less about in 2026 than Jay Z talking to Rick Rubin in black and white, we truly will just live in 2008 for the rest of our lives 050
Da Miata Man @crappyoats.bsky.social · 06/10/2026If only there was video of that fat fuck getting tased and loudly crying 020
Da Miata Man @crappyoats.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Haven’t read this since I was 17, was actually not embarrassingly bad like some other stuff I liked. Good timing as well, I just took a lil class on Adorno that fit nicely with the themes here. Actually very similar to Jest, TV==heroin. Prose is a lot of “fun” to read, coming back when I get will to 030
Da Miata Man @crappyoats.bsky.social · 05/10/2026First reply is a guy who claims to be rolling there in 2 weeks, asking if he should bring the arsenal and oil conditions @murderxbryan.bsky.social 010
Da Miata Man @crappyoats.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I just learned Turnstile is guys in their late 30s, not zoomers, and now I have a lot less patience for their shit lol 030
Da Miata Man @crappyoats.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I thought I unearthed something satanic playing Myst and made my dad give up playing the red pages after lol 010
Da Miata Man @crappyoats.bsky.social · 04/10/2026This is important for me to be able to jack off to it or not 130
Da Miata Man @crappyoats.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Just boiled a watched pot. Some guys are just built different. 021
Da Miata Man @crappyoats.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I accidentally walked into the tailgating situation when they were at Duke a few years ago and I felt like I was having a nightmare where River North had sprung into the middle of Durham somehow 000
Da Miata Man @crappyoats.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Not even going to pretend it was a moral reason I stopped going on it, the site was just straight up unusable 110
Da Miata Man @crappyoats.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Wanted to read this since I’ll get comps to his drug writing in workshops, and this was on DFWs favorites list. Firstly, I do not think I really sound like Denis, we just share subjects. Second, this was clearly an influence to DFW, and the dialogue was great. Def adding him to my list for later. 030
Da Miata Man @crappyoats.bsky.social · 02/10/2026that and have to be credited on a Kid Rock album 010
Da Miata Man @crappyoats.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I just pulled an ingrown hair out of my face that had to have been an inch and a half. My cheek deflated after finally grabbing it out. 030
Da Miata Man @crappyoats.bsky.social · 02/10/2026It’s crazy to go on instagram and see in almost any thread, a statement that would’ve been 3 days of main character roasting on the old twitter. 050
Da Miata Man @crappyoats.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Putting it on one of my 12 copies of Stoner I take pictures of next to my morning coffee 110
Da Miata Man @crappyoats.bsky.social · 01/10/2026First book ever read on an ereader. Really weird and funny, basically just digging holes and going to the pub over and over and over. Like a desert island story crossed with Chicken Run. Will be checking out his other stuff. 030
Da Miata Man @crappyoats.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Both of them didn’t read a book for 10 years prior to 2024 020
Da Miata Man @crappyoats.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Maybe too niche of a post but which is worse bookstagram content: soft boy posting the NYRB version of Stoner in hand and saying he can finally see in color now, or the unlit cigarette in mouth people pretending Bret Easton Ellis is good 140
Da Miata Man @crappyoats.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I couldn’t remember if the focus got killed off completely, I just remembered it running longer than it did here 110
Da Miata Man @crappyoats.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Don’t they still sell sedans in Europe which is generally their reason for sponsoring a WRC car 110
Da Miata Man @crappyoats.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I blew some zoomer minds at work a few months ago with that album 010
Da Miata Man @crappyoats.bsky.social · 01/10/2026To some people, books are somehow exempt from the same mechanism that slopifies every other cultural product. If I had to guess, it’s because they still associate it with being rewarded with pizza for it. 0151
Da Miata Man @crappyoats.bsky.social · 30/09/2026What is it about reading that makes it value positive to certain people. Like would they applaud me for sitting and reading the Owners Manual to my car? 260
Da Miata Man @crappyoats.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Me reacting to another person insisting slop is actually valuable 050
Da Miata Man @crappyoats.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Are we not calling the play in games a new round because that’s the start of everyone’s expansion bullshit if you ask me 001
