Remember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.

I don't think I've ever talked on Bluesky about why I hate the Foo Fighters and Dave Grohl.
Don't read any further unless you're prepared for uncomfortable truths about the "Nicest Guy in Rock", and his very substantial body count & subsequent cover-up.

They never, ever go to a friend who actually poetries and say "hey, write me a poem for a creepypasta and I'll buy you a pizza"
No, they hunker down with some christmas car commercials and emerge, glistening, with the poetic afterbirth.

What's breaking people is being in a kind of permanent low grade flight or fight response they can't get out of, while having to pretend they're not having it, going about their lives as if everything is fine when it isn't.

Tarantino Trek Film sounds like the sort of idea that a person who leaps to his feet yelling "Eureka! Eli Roth Muppet Movie!" would come up with
I’m sincerely glad his Star Trek movie never happened. And that’s such a weird thing to even say but the collision between his worst fans and trek’s worst fans? Like reeses’ but it’s lint and axe body spray not chocolate and peanut butter

YES!!!! This Green has always been one of my favorite colors let’s fucking GO
While I’m sure landlords are salivating over the color of the year, I love that the Internet has just collectively said “Fuck Pantone” and chosen phthalo green as the REAL pick.
(Apparently it’s pronounced “thay-lo” green, which I wouldn’t have guessed in a billion years, but Bob Ross says so 🤷)

I don't take transit much these days since I mostly walk to shops. I had heard of the ungodly horror of TikTok with no headphones but I've been out and about more lately and jfc. It makes me go full old man screams at clouds.

Really feeling the whole 40 hour (or more) work week keeps us exhausted and docile thing. I would be such a pain in everyone's ass if I didn't have to deal with emails all day. (I am aware that this is a privileged position and others have it much worse.)
