Down South I've heard this called "plowing up a snake."

These people need a competent sound engineer. Jesus Christmas. It's like that old adage about being able to spot a homophobic woman because noone with gay friends would let them leave the house like that- no IATSE engineer would unwrap a cable for these creeps.

Remember hearing that he was just watching Fox News, holed up in the Lincoln Bedroom for like ten months before Covid? Maybe if his numbers tank again, he'll just lie in bed, surrounded by McDouble wrappers and leave the rest of us alone for a while.

He knows he's not supposed to be in the majors. I think he's starting to feel like maybe everyone else does too. Does anyone else remember when he did the Presidential version of "quiet quitting" the last time he got overwhelmed?

DJT has been down at Mar-a-Lago, sulking and having that conversation with himself for FOUR WHOLE YEARS. Now he's back in the batter's box and the pitches are coming fast. Blaming DEI for a plane crash is obvious flailing. That's the most "swing at any pitch" press conference I've ever seen.

If you've ever played baseball, you know the feeling: walking back to the dugout, thinking "I could have hit that guy's fastball. It wasn't even that fast." I've told myself this even when I got absolutely smoked.

When the Patriot Act was passed, libraries got requests for patrons’ borrowing history. We were prohibited from disclosing those requests. We deleted and shredded those records and stopped tracking reading history for that reason. ALSO.

My new favorite podcast is "Weird Little Guys" by absolute hero @socialistdogmom.bsky.social If it has convinced me of nothing else, it's that those harmless weirdos from everyone's hometown maybe weren't so harmless after all.

I'm definitely not raffling off a drum kit to raise money. I'd never count each ten dollar donation (or multiples thereof) as an entry into a raffle. I do have a '60s round badge Gretsch kit that I'm going to give away in the next two weeks, though.

Margaritaville cut us all $3,000 checks immediately after the storm, no questions asked. That money saved lives. They also let employees know that if any of us could get to ANY other Margaritaville, there was a job waiting for us. Some friends went to Orlando.

Just gonna "put this out to the universe" (or just post it on social media, de-woo-ified): I'm a drummer who loves to play music. I've been particularly interested in collaborating with one of you modular synth weirdos to try to recapture that feeling I had when I first heard the band Trans Am.

I'd love for my daughter to hear what Margot Robbie's middle-school self-assessment of her looks and charm was like. Everyone feels like a baby hippo in a human suit in middle school.

110

Patrick Ferguson @dontfeartheringo.bsky.social · 02/09/2023

I mean, of course- there's been a camera about 20" from Margot Robbie's face for two hours. She is luminously beautiful. Any middle-school aged girl is going to have a tough time measuring her self-perception against that.

110

Patrick Ferguson @dontfeartheringo.bsky.social · 02/09/2023

I do also kind of wish that I could get Margot Robbie on the phone for like five minutes- we got home and, as I was tucking her in, my daughter confessed to me that she worries that she's not pretty enough or clever enough and that she feels like a weirdo.

This movie is the Muhammad Ali of feminist AND existentialist texts. If it wasn't such an obvious grift for these dudes, I'd feel bad for them. I do so wish for them to inherit the obscurity they so richly deserve.
