Magnificent.

You had me at “exceedingly dry in-jokes for recherché subcultures”

Another perfect expression of hopeful outrage from A.R. Moxon. For a while I wanted to be something like him when I grew up, but I lack the capacity to remain serious long enough to get through something like this.

This 🧵 is a masterpiece. All of it.

Was it easy or hard to be in James Brown's accompanying band? I just heard Super Bad today and it's mostly just them vamping basic funk riffs while he talks to himself and then he randomly asks them to do switch gears.

The rules exist to make the game work, not the other way around. The rules are necessary to the game, but the rules are not the point. The game is the point. Which leads me to this question: what’s the game? www.the-reframe.com/the-rules/

The Ruleswww.the-reframe.com What is a game without rules? What are rules, if we've stopped playing the game?

Your honor, with all due respect, we are strong, no one can tell us we're wrong.

Your honor, with all due respect, girls just wanna have fun

Your honor, with all due respect, it is nature, that is all, simply telling us to fall in love.

The Supreme Court has probably killed a lot of people last week. They won’t be dying for a few years yet, but I hope everyone is ready for The Jungle to become reality again. They just said the FDA can’t enforce food safety regulations s.

I once had a cat whose kidneys failed. I learned that a cat's body will expend energy to compensate for the failing kidneys, so the cat will just keep on going like nothing is wrong until they literally just can't. Watching the DNC flail around after the debate reminded me of this, not sure why.

The sentiment rings true for art, also education, getting in shape, and sitting down to watch the 1000+ DVDs in my collection.

In a fucked up turn of events, I would use the end of Chevron as the excuse to expand the court and the whole judiciary by pointing out that they don’t have the capacity to hear all the cases they just gave themselves. 27 justices, double the size of the circuits. Huh. Thanks John Roberts.

June 28th, 2024 definitely feels like it is the largest shared 'portal' into the reality of late stage capitalism being helmed by virtually no one. Between The Supreme Court & The Debate we have seen with no pretense now that there is no law, no order, and no leaders other than money.

Here’s a miracle solution: stop fuckin doing it

Is there a point at which the judge can just stop a trial because one side or the other is obviously full of shit? If so, someone tell the judge I don't need another day of my wife telling me how obviously the cops are setting Karen Read up. It's just embarassing at this point.

There's a reason Bruce Campbell is who he is to us.

Oh yeah, I also just literally can’t imagine anyone else pulling off that role, like he pulls off the slapstick without losing the horror

DID YOU KNOW: A type of vampire characterized by a favored environment of humid biomes and in addition to blood also feeds on its victims' sweat glands is called a Dampire

DID YOU KNOW: A cynical type of vampire characterized by stark lighting effects, frequent use of flashbacks, intricate plots, and sometimes an underlying existentialist philosophy is also known as a Noirsferatu. They’re called this because they don’t care if their victims are black or white. 🙃
