I was wondering if I’d see House of Leaves on here… I haven’t read it yet but the odd style is alluring to me. I wonder if it’d keep me more engaged or if I’d have fun reading it but not have any retention

What’s your take on that? Was it uncomfortably difficult to read some of the pages?

That book looks well loved. Covers like that make me happy

That is a really awesome vehicle!

I didn’t know that it was, so I looked it up:

I was more and more impressed as I looked through the page. Plus it’s a manual!! I’m sold; too bad I also cannot buy one

Do you happen know their price range?

Edit: I meant new cost. I looked up used ones and it’s about 10k ± 3k for ones from '97

When pizza’s on a bagel, you can eat pizza anytime!

Thank you for writing that out. I never understood the beginning of that 2nd part and it’s plagued me for… decades really. So now I can sing that shit in full, and not fill in “pizza during crack time” because I knew that wasn’t right

That is such a kind thing to do. They deserve love, too, just as much as a puppy. It’s very sad to see the old ones passed over time and time again. Thank you

Oh, I was thinking shingles. Which I understand to be incredibly uncomfortable (not sure about a staph infection though it still isn’t pleasant)

I mean, I wouldn’t be too opposed to an epic furry operation

I’m very sad that they didn’t put together “large barge”

Holy shit, someone who knows psychostick!! 🤘

Worse than that, they did get him out some but an equipment failure dropped him into a more compromised position

It’s not the gotcha he thinks it is, that’s for sure

I’m very much close to that demographic and it’s horrifying

It’s delicious and the perfect temperature, thank you 🫶

I can’t watch, but I think this is the right clip:

There was also that one where he rhymed “things” with “things”

Awww, I thought the template was just the ballet dancers so we could put a little Bovino in there

Time to have a rewatch

My partner showed me this a couple years ago. Now, we’ll be talking or I have a thought and the conclusion is “America” to which the follow-up is “want to put it on?”

It hits me harder each time I watch it especially how things have further eroded since then

Edit: I was curious and checked out the comments. They were surprisingly wholesome but I didn’t scroll too far. However one sent me down a bit of a rabbit hole and I found something that made me do a double take:

The text from that image reads

THE TWO PLATFORMS

Every RADICAL in Congress VOTED for NEGRO SUFFRAGE. Every RADICAL in the Pennsylvania Senate VOTED for NEGRO SUFFRAGE. STEVENS, FORNEY & CAMERON are for NEGRO SUFFRAGE; they are all Candidates for the UNITED STATES SENATE. NO RADICAL NEWSPAPER OPPOSES NEGRO SUFFRAGE GEARY said in a Speech, at Barrisburg, 11th of Angust, 1866-“THERE CAN BE NO POSSIBLE OBJECTION TO NEGRO SUFFRAGE”

It’s the writing style. If that is the type of material that one reads in their formative years it makes sense that it’s emerging again in the twilight years

Ps. I’m sorry I spent so much time on this it just struck me and I had to explore. Made me sick at some points. To be clear, I support everyone’s right to vote but the above quoted message was demonizing that sentiment. Also to be clear, Geary was a white man and won that election

I had the absolute fortune to make my way through there at the end of last year. It was so bizarre to me that for the most part people are left alone to follow the rules with no oversight

And for the most part I saw everyone behaving well and not doing anything stupid; except the group of people trying to take pictures of a bison who was clearly unhappy about how close they were getting. He was grazing and would walk away a couple steps and they would follow. The boi was swishing his tail and showing what I saw were “leave me the fuck alone” signs and I had to at least shout to the people to leave him alone and they were fucking idiots. I was HOPING that they got charged and had some sense knocked into them

My partner and I had had discussions previously about what we’d do if something like that was about to happen and the kiddo in the car. If it’s just us adults then we’ll stay and watch the carnage but we’ll take off if they’re with us

It’s the same sentiment with The Onion and Black Mirror. Having to take a step back because reality is too absurd

I’ve seen leaf blowers in other videos being used against whatever it is they’re launching. That and waving their protest signs to blow the smoke away
