Take a break from being depressed that everything you love is being destroyed by slop for a moment and let me tell you about the beautiful symbiotic relationship between graffiti writers, train yard workers, and model train enthusiasts.

This passage in You Can't Win, the autobiography of Jack Black, a thieving hobo jailbird from 1926, struck me as extremely powerful. "Each of us must be tempered in some fire... and instead of finding fault with the fire I give thanks that I had the metal to take the temper & hold it."

I got up and went my way with the thought that I had got more out of that prison and its keepers than they got out of me. I think the same to-day of every prison I went into. There were times when I thought I got a bit more punishment than was coming to me, but I don't regret a minute of it now. Each of us must be tempered in some fire. Nobody had more to do with choosing the fire that tempered me than myself, and instead of finding fault with the fire I give thanks that I had the metal to take the temper and hold it.

I would like, just once more, to congratulate our lofty intellectual betters in the British political commentary and pundit set for elevating this transparently cynical, self-serving pig to the country's highest political office on the basis of his flawless ethics and commitment to public service.

sometimes i write some scathing post and just put it in my drafts which is fun because months later i find them again completely devoid of whatever the context was in which i was so annoyed that i wrote it. this one below is one such case, but it is also evergreen.

why is it that whenever people say 'let people enjoy things' it's never about anything actually good

I’m sure most of you aren’t watching the US Open right now which means you missed this instantly iconic moment, now available in gif form

when jigsaw is making a broken glass trap do you think he sits around breaking all the bottles himself or do you think he makes a contraption to do it for him. 'hoffman is the contraption' is a solid answer but if he's not about yknow

the most surprising thing about milo is that he hasnt done the 'apologetic return to liberalism in the face of evil' grift-pivot yet. if you want a list of wreckers never to be trusted, look at the people who entertain this bullshit when it inevitably happens.

put on a black metal album and within five seconds i can tell it was recorded in a professional studio and mastered by someone who knows how to use the machine. fuck off

as with gta5 i dont expect i'll play gta6 until at least a year after release (i don't have any modern consoles and my PC needs an upgrade) so i'm really just commenting to comment

it is interesting that rockstar still havent fixed the stilted "NPC walks to location, says line while animating, walks to next location" in-gameplay dialogue problem, even in the trailer, so all the characters still feel like amateur screen actors who have their marks taped to the floor out of shot

before posting, ask yourself: is this a broader societal issue or did you see an annoying shut-in 19 year old's opinion on social media and get really really mad

A Green party gain in a Dover ward, where the right had 54% of the vote split 3 ways (half for 27% Reform, a third 17% for the Conservatives, a fifth for 11% Restore) while the Greens won 2/3 of the 45% voting Green or Labour in this contest
