And *I* correctly intuited that I am more or less what would happen if Beth March had access to 20th century antibiotics, so.

I’m just going to repost this seasonally when I have the wherewithal, because everything we see from mid-November through Christmas is pushing sales like Cyber Monday.

But the demand they create puts Amazon workers at greater risk than usual (already above industry average) for serious injuries.
Re: Prime Week, I want to repost a couple of things, including a story I worked on in 2019, on Amazon injury rates.

I analyzed 2018 data and found major spikes on Cyber Monday and Prime Day, but I kept being afraid of overstating the finding. Screenshot is from revealnews.org/article/behi...

Speaking of her grace, I am bummed to report that I somehow missed the Welsh Society’s hundredth birthday party for the great Richard Burton, a Welshman and a Scorpio

Just watched a sensational Finnish movie in which some of the adversaries were a gang dressed exactly like Adam AND the Ants, led by, naturally, a sort of New Wave Elizabeth Taylor

Basically my number one belief about music is that it is good when bands play FAST

I am liking what I've heard so far of the second Sharp Pins record and each track confirms my general sense that the band as a whole should get FASTER

two guys named 'merchant' and 'ivory' linking up to make period pieces feels like the punchline to a joke about british people. but it really happened

turns out there is a guitar center just a couple exits before you hit rock bottom. it’s all just guys with alarming facial hair who are like one (1) expensive effects pedal purchase away from an explosive divorce saying, “yeah, you can really get some good tones on that one”

ANYWAY. I’m having a solo show of relatively recent works on paper at the Fresh Pot on Hawthorne that opens tomorrow night. Notably it includes a series of four drawings of the Beach Boys at their most furious, rendered on pink paper I spritzed with patchouli spray and left on a windowsill to fade.

I do want to thank this election for making me more aware of world-historical weirdo Curtis Sliwa. Can’t say I agree with him on the issues but I would like to study him in a lab.

Delighted to learn that John Joseph, formerly of NYHC band Cro-Mags, was one of the “I’m leaving New York if Mamdani wins” crowd. I know he saw the Covid death statistics under Cuomo and thought “let’s get those numbers UP” so I can’t imagine who he WOULD’VE voted for.

I am happy to see that the people of Portland have handed Dan Ryan his own ass regarding the parks levy, may this be the beginning of the end of his political career

A large part of my origin story as a punk is that Bush and Cheney were re-elected the day before my fourteenth birthday, so it feels especially poetic that Cheney went where he ought to have gone years ago the day after my thirty fifth
