Apple bottom jeans
Boots with the fur
The whole club was watching classic televised legal drama ‘Perry Mason’ starring Raymond Burr
I’m sorry, I don’t know why this appeared fully formed in my brain but it refused to leave until I typed it out. Maybe it will leave me in peace now.

They think this will cow the population because they think everyone is as much of a spineless honorless soulless chickenshit as they are. Please continue to disappoint them.

Leaders use armed forces judiciously to protect people. Tyrants scoot them around like toys to hide their weakness. Today’s parade has about 30 Abrams tanks. We’ve sent 31 to Ukraine, to date. Brave people will die while trump uses what could save them like he’s splashing in the bathtub. No Kings.

I did not buy anything today, but I did donate money to Ukraine's defense effort. Slava Ukraini, and fuck the human cancer metastasizing in the white house and the Moron-Ribbentrop Pact he's made with Putin.

Warhammer 40,000 is larger than life, high drama, full of blood and death, and sometimes has silly sounding fancy language. So naturally I’m turning it into a Shakespeare play.

We didn’t tell you so. He told you so, again and again. He told you he was a bottomless greed void disdainful of knowledge, ethics and empathy, a rabid bigot idiot, the least convincing budget costume of a human being. Nobody can say they didn’t know that. It just turns out some people like it.

Remember that no political function works by handwave. Everything requires actual people to do things at every step. Whenever you are one of those cogs you can refuse to spin, or deliberately spin slowly or badly. Bad Cogs Battalion, form up.

2024 Metal Albums for Normies 2: Crypt Sermon, “The Stygian Rose.”
Gothic, operatic tales delivered by mighty twin-lead guitars, smoky baritenor glory and a galloping rhythm section. This is one for the theatrical types who enjoy a little blood in their melodrama.

I don’t use spotify, so in lieu of Wrapped, a miniseries: 2024 Metal Albums for Normies.
Castle Rat: “Enter the Realm.” A rockin doomy-melodic record, production with grit you can feel. Fantasy, but less shining steel than patina’d copper. Singer(pictured on cover) is haunting and powerful.
