Rory Blank @roryblank.bsky.social · 2hI like my IWW hat because I can wear it to places like the Texas state fair without getting glared at. I get compliments and friendly conversation on it from people who know what it means, and the sort of people who would get mad at it if they understood it don’t recognize the symbol. 0590

Rory Blank @roryblank.bsky.social · 4hThis is possibly too specifically about defunct Austin music festivals and probably most people looking at this don’t know what it means, and that’s not my problem 3240
Rory Blank @roryblank.bsky.social · 4hJames Talarico I will vote for you if you pledge to use your powers as a senator to bring back fun fun fun fest and chaos in tejas or oblivion access 2445
Rory Blank @roryblank.bsky.social · 4hYeah actually nothing about this is surprising or disappointing. 020
Rory Blank @roryblank.bsky.social · 4hThis is a joke, I don’t actually care, I mean look at that dude, he is an aggressively normal guy 1261
Rory Blank @roryblank.bsky.social · 4hActually i think slightly less of James Talarico for going to ACL, really dude, are you excited about seeing Kings of Leon? Are you super amped for Twenty One Pilots? Were you super amped to see The Chainsmokers? 3581
Rory Blank @roryblank.bsky.social · 16hI never play video games in “fidelity mode” this is a performance mode only household 3673
Rory Blank @roryblank.bsky.social · 16hAlso my only real complaint about the director’s cut of four is I thought some of the times it cut back to Two Headed Dog felt weird 100
Rory Blank @roryblank.bsky.social · 16hExplaining that Big Tex is real has been a blight on my existence 0100
Rory Blank @roryblank.bsky.social · 16hI have made multiple references to Big Tex in my work and had people very vehemently insist that I’m “referencing“ or “ripping off” King of The Hill. Big Tex is real. 31194
Rory Blank @roryblank.bsky.social · 16hThere are a lot of things about King of The Hill that I talk to northerners that they think are jokes and exaggerations the series made up, that are in fact real fundamental qualities of the state, and real places. The same is also true of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre movies. 412313
Rory Blank @roryblank.bsky.social · 16h2 is my favorite because I think it captures a fundamental and ineffable truth about what living in Texas is like. 130
Reposted by Rory BlankChris Person @papapishu.bsky.social · 22hThe narrative that vibecoding is going to usher in a new flood of emulation is less accurate than just admitting that all of the barriers between platforms have been fake since basically the PS4. 91058145
Rory Blank @roryblank.bsky.social · 23hAlso we did the pamphleting thing again a few weeks later to a frat party, and having learned from feedback from doing it to SXSW people, who would ask me if I had actually cut my dick off, I made myself a prosthetic stump. The frat boys did not like seeing my stump. 01224
Rory Blank @roryblank.bsky.social · 23hOn another night during SXSW that year I made her a cape out out of all of the show posters and tape that we found on the ground and paraded her around as the queen of garbage 3960
Rory Blank @roryblank.bsky.social · 23hWhatever dudes are saying in seminars that they sell to young men, consider that the result of me not listening to any of that advice and instead doing this is that I have been in this relationship for 11 years now. 21141
Rory Blank @roryblank.bsky.social · 23hI met my girlfriend through backyard wrestling and then decided that the best way to impress her was to make a bunch of inscrutable occult pamphlets that encouraged people to cut their dicks off and only eat at 7 Eleven and invited her to go downtown with me to hand them out to SXSW attendees. 726610
Rory Blank @roryblank.bsky.social · 23hI am not trying to be deep this was a hypothetical i was thinking about on the bus a few months ago 2310
Rory Blank @roryblank.bsky.social · 09/10/2026My job for about three and a half years was to as a content moderator for facebook. I would routinely have to watch things like ISIS prisoner execution videos and there was a week where I kept having to look at the Christchurch shooter's livestream. 120
Rory Blank @roryblank.bsky.social · 09/10/2026There's a difference between a video of a bomb going off, filmed from the perspective of a drone, and a video of someone being shot repeatedly up close or at a medium distance. 110
Rory Blank @roryblank.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Imagining the number of people who are going to tune in excited to see their bloodthirsty desire for vengeance sated and then find out it's a lot less "fun" to actually watch than they were imagining. 7621
Rory Blank @roryblank.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I really want to know if Pete Hegseth has ever actually seen a person die up close before, particularly from being shot. It's a nasty way to go. 4883
Rory Blank @roryblank.bsky.social · 09/10/2026What I hazily remember was it was something like I posted the words “yo what’s up brazil” and thousands of brazilian people told me this was annoying pandering 1470
Rory Blank @roryblank.bsky.social · 09/10/2026woke up biting my tongue from a dream that I had made the entire country of Brazil mad at me for reasons that escape me 3530

Rory Blank @roryblank.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I have now seen Chat Pile 8 times, and tonight was the least I have heard about movies, which is fair, people always just yell about Spy Kids. 6371
Rory Blank @roryblank.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I mean I assume it’s because of the wretched state of the Austin real estate there aren’t many better places to have a venue of that capacity that might be closer to the city 090
Rory Blank @roryblank.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Radio/East is a good venue, they have a good sound system, the staff has been very nice to me every time I’ve been there but man what a weird place to put a venue. 1150
Rory Blank @roryblank.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I think part of the reason there aren’t a lot of good movies about contemporary American political life is you sound like an idiot if you talk about any of the things happening in American politics outloud. If I heard the word Groyper in a movie I would try to cut my own head off. 1047974
Rory Blank @roryblank.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Yep. originally it was being developed for Roman Polanski and then he dropped off because of the Manson family murders. 010

Rory Blank @roryblank.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Man imagine what it would be like if unwittingly someone trained a dolphin to kill the president of the united states i hope nobody ever finds themselves in a situation like that, that would be really messed 31678
Rory Blank @roryblank.bsky.social · 09/10/2026It’s particularly interesting to think about the dearth of recent comedy movies specifically in light of the mass proliferation of AI, and people insisting that it’s going to take over movies. It can more convincingly do a facsimile of blockbuster fx than natural nuanced human speech. 1190
