Thought I was making a very obvious joke on FB 4 years ago, but like many of my friends, it appears that the good people at White Claw also did not get it.

“I’m really bummed that no one makes a non-alcoholic hard seltzer”

Man, shoutout to @highkin.bsky.social for his latest Rose Garden Report newsletter. Citing Braiden Bell and the 12 fingers of Ja Morant as compelling reasons to pull the plug on your own Twitter account (if one still needed more of them). There are reasons this man wins awards.

Since announcing I'd be putting my band to bed, I've had like 6 people ask me to start new projects with them. My initial internal reaction has be "No. Leave me alone.", but honestly it feels nice to be valued.

It’s incredibly hard to do business here, nobody wants to buy tickets. Also season tickets were renewed at 94%.

You know who else brought an iced coffee to his interview

Christ Leaving the Praetorium By Gustave Dore — oil painting of Jesus walking down some stairs with evervone staring at him/celebrating/mourning after Pontius Pilate presented him to the crowd/condemned him. Jesus and the Virgin Mary both seem to flow while else is kind of shadowed. The painting has been edited to make it look like Jesus is carrying a giant iced coffee in a plastic cup.

I’m going through an interesting and unexpected part of loss where one minute I’m like “OMG leave me alone. I’m fine” and then the next I’m “OMG aren’t you even gonna acknowledge that my mom just died?”

You guys, I've had these words muted the entire time on here, but it's wild the multitude of ways people find to talk about these things without actually saying the words. It's like my whole Popular With Friends feed.

Playing our last show for the foreseeable future on Saturday. A free annual festival raising awareness about mental health. Attending the event 2 years ago inspired me to put together this band. If you're near the southern Willamette Valley, come check it out!

Maybe it was just crowd I drew, but I cued this song up an unreasonable amount of times during my year as a KJ. Honestly, most who tried it successfully pulled it off. Not sure if that says more about them as singers or Lita Ford.

You guys remember that weird era of FB where people posted in the third person? Anyway, I think I got my wish, 15 years later, because despite him being alive(?!), I'm pretty sure I'm never, ever going to hear Mitch McConnell's voice again.

Weird talking in the 3rd person post on facebook were I say "Hopes he never, ever hears Mitch McConnell's voice again! I just can't take it people!"

Texas man gets 30 years in prison for transporting 'anti-government' pamphlets

The case stems from a violent anti-ICE protest, but critics say the government's prosecution threatens First Amendment rights.

As an American-born Irish citizen, I love that it's both Irish and Irish-Americans telling a genocide apologist to póg mo thóin. For many of us speaking truth to power is in our bones. Somehow that instinct didn't get passed on to Ed Sheeran.

Despite all the fun basketball related images that I’ve seen of Guy from Fugazi over the years, I’ve wondered if he was REALLY a hoops head. I’m grateful that this podcast was able to answer that question. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i...

The reason Kanye is allowed to continue to work & Macklemore isn’t is because the people making these decisions don’t care about preventing antisemitism they care about protecting settler colonialism.
