The living embodiment of Cabot Sharp Cheddar and a mid-shelf Malbec. Lacks sophistication; adequate.

Clothing ads on July 31: "Get ready for fun in the sun! Cool sandals and swimwear for your hot summer vacay!" August 1: "Stock up on turtlenecks and jackets for the whole family, it's fucking freezing!"

I'm a big fan of the The Wicker Man (1973), so I'll check out pretty much any related projects, even the sins against nature (e.g. the 2006 remake). So when the YouTube algo fed me a trailer for the upcoming film Wicker, I eagerly clicked, anticipating a dose of folk horror. That is not what I got.

Hey foodie friends, just acquired some of this, and 😮😋😁! Basically chili crisp, but Italian/mediterranean flavors. Great for drizzling on pasta or sopping up with your pizza bones. Pleasant burn, nothing atomic--think sriracha-level heat. Highly recommended. sobelini.com/pages/shop

Hey "Smiling Face With Sunglasses" emoji addicts: On behalf of the ordered list junkies, I challenge you to a dance-off for perpetual control of the default "b)" string behavior in the Apple ecosystem. This ends now.

Uncle Dance

Alt: An older white man doing a comic version of a belly dance. He is wearing loose-fitting dark pajama-type bottoms and has his white t-shirt pulled up and rolled around in the middle, forming a faux bralette and exposing his ample tummy.

I can't get over that they're doing an origin movie for a character whose origin story is quite famously portrayed in the original fucking story. Like that was what the Ghost of Christmas Past showed us, that was his origin story, what the fuck are we doing here

I refuse to talk politics with my dad, so instead I got to listen to him go on and on tonight about how this Steve Beet-oh guy (Rick Beato) doesn't know what the hell he's talking about because he's never seen him mention how important/genius The Ventures and Nokie Edwards were. 🤦‍♂️

"100 years ago, we over-engineered a solution to a problem that no longer exists so now we're going to fix it by doubling down on the bad solution" is about as 21st Century American as a sentiment can get.

Unfinished Painting by Keith Haring. I've got a large print hanging over my bed. Says so much about the artist's personal tragedy and the fragility of life in general, especially for the disenfranchised. For me, it's a gut-wrenching representation of memento mori.

Unfinished Painting by the artist Keith Haring. The upper left 25% of the work is a playful design featuring dancing figures, reminiscent of Haring's other works, in shades of purple and black. Purple ink drips down from the edges of the finished portion, as if the artist was interrupted, and the rest of the canvas is blank.

Art question 🎨 What painting, photograph, sculpture, or piece of visual art has stayed with you long after you first saw it? Not necessarily your favorite. The one that lingered.

Was digging through some old papers and found this in a pile of post-it notes. A note that young Adam wrote to himself in the mid-90's. Took me a few minutes to figure out what it was and then felt ashamed for not immediately remembering the hours of hard work represented here. 🤦‍♂️🤣 #IYKYK #SNES

A note written in blue ink on a yellow Post It. There are four lines of text.
