What did you say about my Sansdisk mp3 player? That's right mfer. I have a functioning vcr/dvd combo. And you can eff off if you think i'm giving away any books to please some priggish minimalist.
Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

As someone who is this guy's age I can tell you 100% that if you were into Pixies, Nirvana, 120 Minutes stuff, etc. but didn't like the Beatles you had to have worked hard to contort yourself into that special little box. Your enemy, if you absolutely needed one, was hair metal. GTFO here with this.

Tonight I feel the police state and news consolidation. I was leaving my in-laws house about 7 in Kenosha. Just a bit west of their place i ran into a police cordon of several blocks. Maybe 20-30 cop cars. A major action of some kind. I cannot find a whisper of it online. WTF?

A dead sperm whale has washed up on Nantucket for the first time in decades. It’s too big to move — at least until officials figure out a plan.
Dead Sperm Whale on Nantucket Is Too Big to Move, for Now
A local nonprofit said the 52-ton mammal is “far too big, awkward and heavy to remove.” A town official later said it could be dragged out to sea by Thanksgiving.
