Waxahatchee playing in the bass pro shop pyramid today as I walked in with my daughter. Peak cultural experience for my area (the forgotten bluffs of Memphis) , I reckon

I moved to the south and call toilets terlets now. No one else does but I thought they might. They ask me where I’m from and I say Pennsylvania.

Just found out Black Country, New Road are English and it all makes sense now. Their music; it stinks.

Ask Me About My evidence that leads me to believe the internet makes each of us slightly insane in our own very personal, specific way!

I simply do not understand how you can look at this photo and not think of America as the Clown Country.

Been sort of onto something after meandering around in my sketchbook for awhile. Comics en route (anywhere between the next 4 months - 2 years at my rate)

Watching Pinocchio (1940) with my daughter. Every frame is a masterpiece, imaginative beyond belief. There is a drunk cat that blows a smoke ring, grabs it like a donut, dunks it into its beer and takes a bite. Beautiful.

reading Reddit comments of people who think 20 jobs hiring at the xAI server farm is “job creation” and a “great investment for our city”. Most of the jobs do not require Memphis residency. It’s in a marginalized part of the city running on illegally installed gas turbines.

Another day, another program I use daily now featuring AI contextual task bars that pop up while I’m working in there.

Sometimes life is hard but going to Costco and seeing a pikachu plushy for sale the size of a smartcar makes it all worth while.

Me to the ad I see every 6th post on every social media platform: “Stfu and leave me alone, where are my friends???”

Blasting “Metal” by Gary Newman gassing it on some potholed washboard hellroad in my local town pretending I’m in a flying car promised by 1950s sci-fi novels.

Me, walking around my neighborhood built in the 1920s at night and every house looks the same lit only by street lamp. I pass a garden: “this is so lynchiam”

Lots of folks out here thinking more than one thought at a time. What the hell is their problem?

How it feels to post on social media in 2025

I have made the grave mistake of being sincere on the internet by making my pfp a humble, slightly exaggerated cartoon portrait of myself beside my government name. It’s so joever, I fear.

Quite frankly if I saw protest signs in multiple cities with my picture above a DORK label I’d stop what I was doing and do something else.
