Covidiots in music

I saw three dicknoses in the hospital today; one elderly patient and two nurses. Only one of those gets the benefit of any doubt over knowing how to wear a mask.

it's a form of checklisting. you're told you have to wear them to be in public places. you don't want to but you don't wanna get kicked out. so you half-ass it, knowing that fatigued employees are less likely to ask you to mask up or leave if you at least have it on.

it's kind of like your parents telling you that you have to finish your book report before you go to the movies, so you write a shitty three sentences that say "The grapes of wrath are about wrathful grapes." and go out anyway.

OTM. And its perfect for passive-aggressive deniability if anyone presses you on it: "oh i didnt realize it just slipped down like that, whoops"

i nicely asked the mask-sucking employee at uhaul that i dealt with to pull his mask up and he was astonished that i asked, grudgingly gave himself a dicknose, and then was doubly astonished i asked him to please pull it up all the way. ime dicknosers are generally just betting that other people will be too shy to ask them about it.

i sure af ain't about to tell some hulking no-neck to do it, and get shot up like a Dick Tracy villain

didnt RDJ once said that the sandy hook shootings were a government coverup to try and push for anti-gun rights legislator lol
also Gen X is just as bad as boomers, its just that they grew up with nirvana and green day so they like to tout themselves as superior

yeah sharing an era with Green Day has made me feel like a superhero

also Gen X is just as bad as boomers, its just that they grew up with nirvana and green day so they like to tout themselves as superior

I'm trying to parse what this means. I don't disagree that Gen Xers are just as bad about mask wearing as boomers, but I'm baffled about what Green Day and Nirvana have to do with it

That appears to be the first-ever ILX post by "1funeral2many," so I wouldn't bother spending too much time trying to parse it.

One monkey don't stop no show.

We had a contractor over at our house (someone I didn't want to piss off) whose nose was exposed. I thought of a way to tactfully address it -- offered him a different mask ("If you need one, I know it's hot outside," etc.). He was cool about it; pulled up his for the remainder of the visit, I think it was a case of genuine forgetfulness.

I wouldn't bother spending too much time trying to parse it.

I am however going to spend quite a bit of time laughing at it.

I just didn't know if I missed, say, Tre Cool, revealing himself to be a massive Covidiot or something.

Assume Positive Intent. Trying to adopt this has brought me a lot of peace over recent years.

intent doesn't matter, impact does

Billy Corgan might give it a go soon.

Lennon's birthday today; no way he'd NOT be one. I mean if you just look at the lyrics on Sometime In New York City, he's a classic case. Yoko too, possibly.

"Free the prisoners, jail the judges
Free all the prisoners everywhere
All they want is truth and justice
All they need is love and care"

"We are born in a prison
Raised in a prison
Sent to a prison called school
We cry in a prison
We love in a prison
We dream in a prison like fools"

"There may be not much difference
Between Marilyn Monroe and Lenny Bruce
We check their coffins.
we're all water"

i check Lenny's coffin every Friday

those lyrics are just generic leftist sloganeering; just because current conspiracy theorists use anti-authoritarian rhetoric doesn't mean everyone else who does is simpatico

Yoko Ono, who is alive, had someone edit vintage clips of Lennon to give out a stay-safe-during-covid message (my day is worse for having found this out).

from the aquarium drunkard interview with probable trumpist tobin sprout:

Tobin Sprout: Right, the masks. I was on the board of the historical society, and we had to wear the masks for an hour and a half for this meeting. It was devastating and claustrophobic. We were far enough apart that we could take the masks off if we wanted to, and then there were a couple of people that didn’t want to, so everybody had to wear them. It is what it is, I guess.

"it is what it is"

sounds truly devastating, wearing a mask for 90 minutes

:(

god what a baby

I went to a podiatrist earlier today; she wore an N95 mask, and seemed like a cool enough person (I had seen her once before)... but when the conversation turned to masks, she turned out to be something of a covid "truther." It was kind of bizarre/unsettling.

It should be a shock that FIve Finger Death Punch just released an anti-mask video:

The video opens with a Ralph Waldo Emerson quote, "Fiction reveals truth that reality obscures," before launching into the action. The clip, shot in Los Angeles, starts with a Nancy Pelosi-esque political figure praising mask-wearers for being "compliant," even presenting them with a button displaying the Communist sickle emblem. There's also nods to zombies hoarding toilet paper and a work camp for the "People's Republic of America."

But eventually an uprising takes place with people ripping off their masks to head into a violent battle carrying American flags in pursuit of the female leader.

There are plenty of other symbolic nods throughout the video, including "The Great Awakening" flashing during a newscast, which is a reference to QAnon. There are also black-clad figures on leashes that are held by the female leader. They break free to start destroying property, which appears to be a reference to Antifa.

It should be a shock

it should?

they're not called five finger health punch

lol, sadly true

Yeah that sounds about right for FFDP. Oh well.

I stumbled across one or two songs of theirs that I liked, but that's about it.

ultimate FFDP would be better off if they weren't allowed to have arms anymore

In 1936 my GRANDAD JACK BROWN volunteered to the Internationale to fight franco's fascists in Spain. In 1941 he shot at Nazi Luftwaffe over Dover. SEE THE ENEMY.

1985. I was a lazy ass pothead in a band.

Ian Brown is running a solid "don't do drugs" campaign this year

Stone roses are bad but that is quality

Nah, it's wank.

That first sentence is the best lyrics he's written in years.

He didn't start the fire

Isaac Hanson

Proberbs 9:10?
Probervs 9:10?
Probably 9:10?

mmmProb 9:10

turns out that Hanson fans were already heartbroken when they tried to get Hanson to say Black Lives Matter earlier in the year, and instead found out that Zac Hanson (a different Hanse to Isaac) is a transphobic, homophobic, Islamophobic gun nut who thinks George Zimmerman was right to murder Trayvon Martin and it doesn't matter what happens to refugees bcz "we don't have room for them"

did they all forget the Hanson kids were homeschooled

and that theyre Hanson

some of the fans in that thread are all "what a relief to finally be able to say that it's a bit weird that their dad picked their wives from a pool of elite superfans, and that even the non-racist one has seven children"

one of my friends ia huge Hanson fan (!) and she is gutted by what's gone on. When I first met her a few years back she told me an annual event where fans can buy tickets for a week on a boat with the band which sounds... intense

This is kind of like when normal people found out the shiplap HGTV show couple were evangelical weirdos with shitty views on LGBTQ rights (and probably many other things). How did you not see the signs?

might as well put this one here:
