I'm not here to be followed, I'm here to keep in touch with what people I want to hear are saying, and maybe say some stuff myself. Set your expectations accordingly.

The NERVE of annotating that with "simply"!

Everyone posts pics of the toothy end of a Deinosuchus but nobody ever appreciates all the hard work we put into it's booty, including all those fiddly osteiderms

"I was married, but I'm not married anymore. Women don't like the vehicle."

A 24 Hours of Lemons special, the Upside-Down Camaro. It's a Ford Festiva wearing the inverted body shell of a Camaro as a hat.

"I was married, but I'm not married anymore. Women don't like the vehicle."

A red Toyota MR2, with a 5-cylinder 1930s radial aircraft engine somehow dropped in the engine bay instead of the usual Toyota engine. This was, of course, a project for 24 Hours of Lemons, and it actually turned racing laps, until the ridiculous torque delivery of the 540 cubic inch radial engine shattered the rest of the drivetrain.

The most impressive thing in that cybertruck owner's interview is that he managed to say "women" rather than "feeeemales".

Big fan of the thing where a punk band that's been doing the thing for more than thirty years decides to have a go at playing with some trained musicians. Always a bit magical when that happens.

The New Model Army Sinfonia boxed set, in which a punk band that's been going since 1980 teams up with the Leipzig symphony orchestra and makes mind -blowing music together.

For summer, I've taken to switching over to disposable N95s, because the elastomer gets really damn sweaty in California heat, but now it's getting wintery so it's time to freshen up.

if there's an overarching theme of the last decade, (with obvious antecedents in 2009, 2000, 1994, and earlier) it's that one political faction believes governance to be a tool of warfare against their domestic enemies, and the other is surprised they keep getting attacked seemingly out of nowhere.

Semi-regular reminder that if you got yourself a reusable N95 respirator, not only do you need to replace the filters, you should take it completely apart and sanitize the whole thing from time to time. I just did mine, it was getting disgusting.

Artisanal bespoke erotica is a tool of liberation. Extruded slop erotica is a tool of oppression. It's no surprise that oppressive institutions want what they want.

Rob MacWolf, Werewolf Hitchhiker @robmacwolf.thevoice.dog · 2d

When we write or draw porn or erotica, we get banned from having a bank account and our livelihoods get seized even if we give it away for free.

When billionaires steal what we've written or drawn to churn out a slop-approximate of porn, they're allowed to charge for it.

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year

Please believe me when I tell you:

Double the fuck down on your spiritual practice now.

You are going to need it.

And no, that doesn't have to be a prayer-god thing.

The thing that sustains and nourishes you.

That makes you more alive to yourself, the world, others.

More present.
