All doggos are good girls and boys. Their existence is one of the genuinely good things about this world. Drunk drivers are one of the many terrible things. I'm terribly sorry for your/your family friends' loss, Naths.

It makes me happy that Thad Cochran died Thursday and didn't merit a mention on the obituary thread. Fuck that guy. Always smiling, always genteel, always a reliable party line vote for shitty policies.

yeah I think sometimes reveling in the indifference towards some low level diabolical politician cunt dying can be more satisfying than one of the big dogs eating it, there is something quite cheap and performative at times about pissing on a big dog's grave.

The second through, say, the 8th or 9th shaves with a new razor cartridge.

one year passes...

When there's a small bit of a song that you can't identify that periodically reappears in your head for years and then suddenly you hear the song.

In my case it was a bit from "Die Wölfe Kommen Zurück" by Coil, a track I probably hadn't listened to in almost 15-20 years.

Not innocuous. Nocuous, in fact!

But I was driving down the road and someone flicked their cigarette butt out the window and it exploded in a shower of sparks on the asphalt. I hate smoking, and I really hate littering, but it was pretty in the twilight! You never see that anymore and it brought back old memories.

I’m definitely glad people smoke so much less these days, and that I quit myself, but god damn if some of the little rituals and aesthetic hallmarks of the Smoking Section Years don’t hit me hard

Dude upstairs and a buddy are playing keyboard and guitar and it's so soothing and I'm not feeling well and it's cheering me up immensely
