Contrariwise @mrcontrariwise.bsky.social · 19/05/2026God, I hate my useless fucking generation. Sat on the sidelines acting superior and making snarky comments their whole lives... then when push came to shove, they came down on the side of authoritarianism and Trump. 🤮 010
Contrariwise @mrcontrariwise.bsky.social · 18/05/2026What you've got there reminds me of when a friend tore out some of the drywall in his finished basement and found that the room he had been using as his home office had been entirely powered by a piece of table-lamp grade zipcord, the plastic coating of which had all but crumbled into dust. 110
Contrariwise @mrcontrariwise.bsky.social · 18/05/2026I had to stop reading it. While these days,sadly, it's no big shock to find out what a bunch of racist homophobes my neighbors are, being constantly reminded that they're also a bunch of unbelievably annoying busybodies and pearl-clutchers was just doing bad things to my blood pressure. 020
Contrariwise @mrcontrariwise.bsky.social · 18/05/2026You're so lucky to be alive. 🫢 I got an installation done a few years ago that required running some power lines though the attic of my garage. The installer found a junction box that had been so poorly installed that the inside was black with scorch marks. No idea how my house didn't burn down. 160

Contrariwise @mrcontrariwise.bsky.social · 18/05/2026It's really, *really* hard to appall me, in this enshittified world that we live in now. But this one did it. 110

Contrariwise @mrcontrariwise.bsky.social · 02/05/2026I briefly lived in the Research Triangle area of NC at the same time as KEW; just before he died, actually. I've always kinda regretted that I never got in contact with him and offered to buy him dinner or something. Was always a big fan of his Kane stories. 000
Contrariwise @mrcontrariwise.bsky.social · 02/05/2026My dog and cat used to play endlessly. It invariably ended with the cat being dragged around the house with his head in the dog's mouth, but if you watched them, who *always* started the shit? Yeah, the cat, 100% of the time. Usually about 5 minutes after the last time he got dragged. 😂 250

Contrariwise @mrcontrariwise.bsky.social · 01/05/2026There's a great 20 minute short feature about Luke, Vader, and the Emperor buried inside the toy commercial that is RotJ. Someone should make that edit, and add it to the list above. 000
Contrariwise @mrcontrariwise.bsky.social · 30/04/2026The main thing I remember immediately post-9/11 is how many people who should have known better rushed to hand over their personal privacy and civil liberties in exchange for a false promise of safety. That's how fascism got its foot in the door, and now here we are, as predicted. 000

Contrariwise @mrcontrariwise.bsky.social · 26/04/2026> "there are literally hundreds of reporters in the room" Hundreds of the kinds of reporters who uncritically repost government and corporate press releases as "news". 000
Contrariwise @mrcontrariwise.bsky.social · 23/04/2026I haven't had a really good baked ziti since I left NJ. The pizza joint down the road made a 10/10, coated with melted mozzarella, in a tin pan with Italian sausage (or meatballs) baked into it. That, and their hero-roll melted-mozzarella garlic bread is among the reasons I was 20 lb overweight. 😂 000
Contrariwise @mrcontrariwise.bsky.social · 23/04/2026The teaser trailer for Episode 3 had the first appearance of armored Vader with his hands buckled in the Jazz Hands position, causing the audience to burst out laughing.

Contrariwise @mrcontrariwise.bsky.social · 18/04/2026I drove a 4-door Oldsmobile Delta 88 (length 18.9ft) in my college days in Boston. To park it, I often had to bump up against the car ahead of me and behind me, and "push" them a bit. 😅 010

Contrariwise @mrcontrariwise.bsky.social · 16/04/2026Back when everyone was still cooing over Hillbilly Elegy, I told the person who showed it to me that it was a pack of lies and the guy was a dangerous fraud. It's not that I double-checked any of his claims, he wasn't important enough back then to care. But everything about him reeked of bullshit. 020
