Last night I had a dream concerning "Goonbubbling" which was some kind of online pervert subculture where they would put fortune cookie style slips of gooning instructions inside plastic vending machine capsules and distribute them to other perverts. I believe this is a million-dollar idea.

One thing I loved about 30 rock is they never wasted a second of Buscemi’s time… any time he was on the screen they had him socking dingers out of the park over and over
I never noticed this either.

I loved reading this. I didn't know Dan well, but this showed me that the weird little friendship I had with him over the years was part of a huge tapestry of weird friendships. He found something we both loved, he zeroed in on it, and he used it as a way to keep in touch for 15 years.

Even considering that the world was a different place in 1971 and culture moved more slowly, and even considering his age at the time and how time seems different when we’re younger, I bet it hadn’t really been that long a time since Robert Plant rock and rolled

here's a summary of my political views: if you're younger than me, you don't know shit. if you're older than me, you're stuck in the past. and if you're my age, the bitch fell off

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

fyad was 95% saying that one guy was old and had a pool and that another guy had a bike and a long face and 5% telling people they weren’t funny and the latter has psychically traumatized entire generations into thinking it’s responsible for the modern internet

Thanks Luke, that is nice of you to say. I think the last thing I wrote was the Snoop Dogg thing with Dan in 2022 that never ran. I'll post it someday.

In memory of the great writer Dan McQuade, I wrote about how we spent about fifteen years sending each other really stupid press release quotes. I'll miss him.
I Was Stoked To Collaborate With Dan McQuade
A couple days ago, I heard the terrible news that the writer Dan McQuade passed away. I’ve read some great tributes to him from people…
