let's break this down...

"has someone else's shit together"?
"has not their shit together"?
"has their shit not-together"?
"has their shit apart"?
"...disassembled"?
"...scattered"?

i dunno.

sounds like a digestion issue. maybe try some imodium?

what were we talking about?

it was pretty good, though i was disappointed that it only went into detail up through about the Shout album. i was hoping to see more from the Total Devo and SNM days, as well as the "quiet" 90s/00s period leading to 2010's Something album and beyond.

Stay Weird Portland! 🔥 Today Portland had an emergency naked bike ride to the ICE facility. IN THE RAIN.

It was around 50°. Thousands were fully nude, half nude, or wearing costumes.

Portland is VERY dedicated to exposing the absurdities of injustice.

Here are some photos & videos. 🧵👇🏼

here's a great word if the day, though i have to say i'm sad there is absolutely no use for it today in this utopian age we live in today.

i just can't think of any modern day usage for this one...
grandiloquentwords.bsky.social
Grandiloquent Word of the Day @grandiloquentwords.bsky.social · 3d
Rebarbative [ree-BAR-buh-tiv]
(adj.)
- Causing annoyance, irritation, or aversion; repellent.
- Unattractive and objectionable.
- Fearsome; forbidding.

Use:
“Harold’s rebarbative disposition lingered in the air like mothballs and melancholy; even the dusty old taxidermy seemed to recoil.”
Grandiloquent Word of the Day logo - Sepia-toned graphic with a baroque Victorian typeface and an illustration of a man's face displaying a quite rebarbative expression.

this Song Of The Day(ish) is from one of my favorite bands of the current generation. great to work out to.

SOTD 349 sees a state turning to faith, faith turn into hate, hate turn into votes, votes turn into notes...

all snark and sarcasm aside, why does he rant on about this ridiculousness so seriously and persistently?

until very recently, i lived just outside of Portland. the place is fine. it has some issues, sure, but seriously...

come on, dude.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."
