Your regular reminder to actually watch the clips. You may hear a meaning differently than I do but you will definitely not know what was actually said just from the truncated text in the post

I’m glad I’m not preoccupied with litigating tom morello’s impact on the 2024 election today. I’m actually pinned under a train. the paramedics say the wheels are the only thing holding me together and I’ll die when they move the train. I don’t see why they have to move it. I could just live here

So I've got some big news. All my ramblings and ravings about urban hiking and how it can change our lives are going to become a book! I'm in Pittsburgh now, doing field research for Chapter 2, and I can't wait to share this with you all in 2028. (Also, I might be visiting your city soon.)

"I'm supposed to be a tough guy," Curtis confided. "I can hold your hand," the mayor offered "What happens if I faint?" Sliwa asked. "I've got you," Mamdani assured him, grabbing his hand as Sliwa received his flu shot. abc7ny.com/post/nyc-may...

This story is great but man I am laughing at how much this guy looks like Michael McDonald - did any other genes even make it in? If you told me that he’d been the result of asexual reproduction by Michael McDonald I’d believe you
A guy who looks basically 1:1 like Michael McDonald who recently found out Michael McDonald is his biological father

From my book:
BUZZ OSBORNE: We named the band after this guy who worked at the 
Thriftway. Melvin was a fucking asshole. He was an adult and was in 
a position to give you orders. He was the kind of guy who would yell 
at you in front of somebody else to try to impress them. Horseshit. We 
wanted to call ourselves that because it sounded stupid. We liked the 
inside joke.
