You know I had this bad boy. Got it in 98 when the movie came out and kept it almost 20 years.

something's wrong in Washington

photoshop. two tired old white guys hold up a photo of themselves in a hotel conference room or something, while a third one looks dismissively at the audience. the photo of themselves is holding up a photo of themselves, ad infinitum

I suspect that the former DA is not, in fact, beholden to anyone left of Temujin.

The ad opens with this and when I saw it at the gym a guy laughed and said "radical" in a supremely sarcastic way

Found it on YouTube and its literally just called "Transgender Defender" which would be great, I do wish "they" had said this as the ad claims. I like the color composition here.

yes I hung out in this apartment building a lot. I dated a girl that lived there. I did drugs in three of these apartments. There was a party for a turtle. A hitchhiker from bonaroo left her mother's ashes in a closet here. It was a good time.

Me and the guy who painted the trippy apartments on Fortification street ran into each other often. One day I was at an art event and he comes up and says, conspiratorially, "This is how I see you. This is how you look to the third eye" and covertly slips me this.

His voice baloon says "five bird scrolls 15 below gravity" and in workman cursive below the neck it says 'together oui wheel stand every bouy every water and her sun"

Another poem in my 'poems written while waiting around' series. Car Rider Line.

photo of text: blank ink on blue lined notebook

Car rider line
sorter of parents
into order
paying for care
with their time
the best at
the front of
the line
I come in last
moving fast
on time bought
by my child
who has
so much more
time left time
not sacrificed
to the
car rider line

wrote a poem in line at Krogers tonight

hand-drawn ink on paper in a small notebook. It reads
"I heard you were looking
for the most difficult
grocery transaction
in Jackson
they found her in kroger
6 twelve packs of pepsi products
72 cans for the price of 36
3 boxes of this on that card
for Dizzy Dean sausage rewards
EBT for these three
debit card and coupons for
eight packs of pepperoni
twinkies for the day care
put that on their card
and pay in cash for dog food
with cash back from pepperoni
she apologizes to me
she is sorry
but I would rather watch you
with my buggy all night
than be told I was wrong
by the self check-out machine"

This is the same demon that haunted Sen. John C Stennis, urging him to be less racist!

The ants have been scavenging a dead cicada in my driveway for days, their repeated visits have moved enough pebbles around to make a little trail, a minuscule monument to this tiny terrestrial whale fall.

the child decided she wanted to do a stop motion animation, which in retrospect is way more work than I want to do, but I guess I'm supposed to encourage her to do things like this, so tomorrow we record sound.

Yeah I heard you were into force fem, so I uh, got you a little comic book.

slightly blurry photo of a comic in red white and blue called "Female Force: Margaret thatcher with her name in the nazi font. She looks like Ron Reagan with 80s hair and has the Trump throat pussy thing going. It's awful.

this is not the first time I've read a skeet by this man that makes me want to log off for the day. This is something you could MAYBE think if you never met anyone but white people? There's a ton of cultures down here but that's how you'd only encounter "fake redneck" (ironically, a real culture)

skeet by @mtsw.bsky.social
"A really weird irony about the "authenticity" debate wrt rural volk vs cosmopolitan elites is that the actual culture of rural red state America in the 2020s is not actually authentic in any meaningful way?"

man I do kinda miss it when Star Wars was just a pile of RPG sourcebooks and some books George Lucas didn't know about

Very fancy Oil Painting. Han Solo fighting a giant otter I guess. The otter is decked out in sweet jewels and looks like it's doing kung fu or something.

Was reading Hellblazer today and saw this curious phrase, Return to Victorian Values, which was apparently a real thing Thatcher focused on.

Hellblazer 1, with the sparse pencil and thick ink of John Ridgway, a brightbut small color palette, lots of simple hatching, captions "Hunger flashes its teeth from the shadows. And defeat lays in the gutter, waiting for the garbage truck. This is where the abandoned people live. All part of the Great British "return to Victorian Values", I guess
