If you'd like to give me money:

Venmo: @/JWBMKUltra5499
PayPal: @/JacobBrannan5499
I wish I had money.

It wouldn't fix everything but it would give me the safety net and capability to work towards fixing things.

If anyone's able to help Jake out a bit, it would really be appreciated.
I need to start putting some money aside for Bea's upcoming prescription refill at the end of this month. Without a GoodRX coupon it's over $100 but with it comes down to >$50 (I'm hoping to find an applicable coupon for our Walgreens), but if anyone can help or share it's really appreciated.

I was watching an ASMR video where Dale Cooper was namedropped and I looked him up and found out he was a character from Twin Peaks, which Wikipedia at the time called a horror series, which intrigued me, but I didn't watch until sometime later when I came across it on Netflix.
I was lucky enough to watch #TwinPeaks in the order it came out but for many, the first two seasons were hard to come by so #FireWalkWithMe was their introduction.

Not until the show hit Netflix and released on DVD did it take off again.

How did you first find "Twin Peaks"?

When people say that Wuthering Heights doesn't have anything to do with race or that no film has engaged with race, what they mean is that for them Romani people do not count and they also haven't been paying attention. I'm going to share a little material from a recent talk. Content note: racism 1/

It’s kind of frustrating how we’re pressured to blindly accept that all war should be viewed as a noble sacrifice, yet a lot of actual veterans will tell you different. Eg. Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse 5, Heller’s Catch 22, Altman’s MASH, Haldeman’s The Forever War, Harrison’s Generals Die in Bed.

This pre-mortem euologizing bullshit is exactly that...bullshit. Arguably the most nothing-political figure of the 21st century. Committed herself to using her influence to make herself rich, so much so I doubt she got up from her seat when MAGA tried to kill her own husband.
Rep. Nancy Pelosi, who made history as the nation’s first female speaker of the House and twice served in that top job, will not seek re-election to Congress in 2026. nbcnews.to/3X16O3z

I think William S Burroughs would shoot in my general direction.
I asked this before over at The Old Place and the answers delighted me. So again:

Who is an artist you admire who you suspect would not like you if they met you personally?

I think Peter Dinklage is fantastic. I would absolutely get on his last nerve. He'd be looking for the door while we spoke.

Since Mamdani’s campaign, subsequent election and broadly Israel’s actions against the state of Palestine, has just awakened all kinds of Islamophobia and misinformation about Islam, it’s worth emphasizing what the word “jihad” actually means:

Congrats to him and his supporters...I really hope he sticks to his guns and does what he was elected to do.
🚨Zohran Mamdani has won the mayor’s race for New York City.

He becomes the first Muslim and first South Asian to serve as mayor of New York City.

Turns out my phone plan ends tomorrow unless I refill it. I thought I had until Thursday. Whatever you're able to give helps out a lot right now.
My phone is gonna be shut off on Thursday. If anyone can help me with my bill, it's just $45 but anything helps, I really appreciate it!

This is another job rejection. I really don't know what else I'm supposed to do. This has been a year long problem now. I really need help with my phone bill, not to mention a prescription refill payment later this month. But I need my phone paid first, if anyone can help please

Btw, considering this narrative is pretty widely believed, I feel like it makes it even more egregious that Kamala Harris flaunted Cheney's endorsement of her.
Seriously, fuck Dick Cheney, truly one of the most evil people to ever exist, but I do really dislike the narrative that he was the "architect behind the war on terror" and "Mastermind of the Iraq War." He's guilty as hell, but I think when you use language like that you remove too much blame
Dick Cheney, the former vice president who was instrumental in pushing the United States into the disastrous Iraq War, has died. He was 84.
