Pop Culture Damaged Man Too Cynical for Placebo All views and statements are my own and do not reflect any organization or businesses.
Said Goodbye to Pete. Last night I carried him upstairs so he could sleep with the family (his arthritis made it hard for him to do the stairs the last couple years). Today we sat with him outside in the (kinda) sun in one of his favorite spots and told him how much we loved him and gave him kisses
what is wrong with me and how do I monetize it
A classic Hostess cupcake. The glare is intentional. I wanted that shiny frosting effect.
This may become a full video later on, but I find myself so fascinated that PBS attempted a sitcom in the 90s and then seemingly cancelled it because it teased PBS. The Steven Banks Show www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

We still have another day and a half with this guy. He hasn't eaten almost anything in a week, but tonight? He absolutely houses most of a Roast Beef Sandwich from Billy's
Got the awful news this morning. Petey has to say goodbye to us. We have made arrangements for the vet to come over Thursday and we'll say goodbye outside laying in the sun, one of his favorite things, and he'll be with us and Ted and Larry.
UPDATE: Sadly not good news. Looks like he likely has cancer and only a couple days left. I'm so upset and love him so much.
At the ER with Petey. He's not doing so great and hasn't been eating so hoping we can help him out. I love this jerk.
"The Alpha School" sounds totally legit and not some weird cult
Linda McMahon: "AI is definitely a tool used correctly. I've seen it in action. I have visited the Alpha School in Austin, Texas, where they use AI for the first two hours every single morning. The students have their headsets on, they are watching their computers ... it is incredibly effective"
At the ER with Petey. He's not doing so great and hasn't been eating so hoping we can help him out. I love this jerk.
It's Bob Harlow as Dave Sheldon in "Winterbeast". But I'm sure everyone recognized it already.
Vintage in box Pogo Bal (it shocked me relooking at this to see it's "bal" and no "ball" which is kind of nuts.). I had two of these in different color ways and aside from them looking cool on their own all Saturny they were super fun.
I always found it odd we got "Flesh Gordon" but not "Fuck Rogers"
I feel bad for the people who showed up for Flesh Gordon and only saw the R-Rated Cut. Then they got to see a Chevy Chase movie.... life isn't fair.
NOTE: This picture is from his May 1908 escape after being chained up & jumping from the Mass. Ave Bridge into the frigid Charles River. He emerged from the water free from his shackles about 40 seconds later. He was 34 years old. After his Worcester YMCA 1926 stunt, he’d only live 32 more days.
[September 28th, 1926] Harry Houdini performed a famous endurance stunt at the YMCA in Worcester, Massachusetts, remaining sealed inside a submerged or enclosed airtight container for one hour and eleven minutes.
So...when did dudes stop beating the ever living shit out of other dudes who even THOUGHT about sexually assaulting a woman? Like broken fingers, noses, permanent limps, life long disfigurement beat the shit out of?
Right? I literally only listen to two college stations if I listen to music radio. Stores I go to almost always just play 80s hits or other middle aged people music. I haven't watched a contemporary movie or TV show less than a couple years old in a decade. How would I hear some dumb country song?
He's saying it's hard to claim ignorance but where would I have even heard this song?
Or I literally never heard of this song or artist until this week and when I did hear it I realized it's boring, cliche, generic garbage
This kind of take made a Rolling Stone writer so mad they wrote a whole piece about it.
maybe I haven't heard that song because I have better taste than you do
The original sold immediately but if anyone wants shirts, prints, phone cases etc of it I put it up on Tee Public www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/9945...

Uncle Frank. I intended on making this more realistic but got to this point and kind of loved the vibe with him being more cartoony.
I started a new Instagram account @stilllifekitsch if you want to follow and a few designs are up on T-Public. I'll be trying to raise some money in the next month or two for some medical needs Petey has, so if anyone wants to buy a painting, or commission one, let me know.
