Aaron Silvers Lining Playbook

tfw ur doctor doesn’t take Medicaid and u no longer will be getting care there, but only after u took off a day to show up to the appointment.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: office break room. One coworker opens a pink box of donuts and says “ooo… who brought donuts?” Another coworker, disinterested at another table, says “idk.” Panel 2: the first coworker, grabbing a donut, says, “don’t mind if I—“ and is suddenly and violently pulled up and out of frame. Panel 3: two fish are sitting in a boat, fishing. One says, “I got one!”

I want so much for this to be true

Was about to say… if only queens wasn’t touring with ff bc I don’t feel like paying stadium prices unless it was flipped around and queens was headlining.

I’d sit through FF to see him on drums again with josh running the show

But that isn’t on the menu

I feel about Dave Grohl now the way I felt about Phil Collins circa 1996.

In twenty more years I might find some room for him again like I feel about PC nowadays.

Duke is just an amazing breakup album

Sure would be nifty if we could call snap elections in this country

Didn't Russia just help arm Iran?

What?

Why?

AI error or not, Iran school bombing is a permanent stain on America’s soul | Will Bunch A debate on AI in warfare obscures the truth about an Iran school bombing. U.S. humans are to blame for this war crime.

Wounded Knee. Tulsa. My Lai. Abu Ghraib

And now, Minab

We need to talk about the horror when 180 little schoolgirls, boys and teachers were obliterated by U.S. Tomahawk missiles last week. And tell Congress: Not one more dime for these war crimes

freehand design work, using a straight razor and a tattoo trimmer, carved into the side of my low fade.

btw, my man Eric, a fellow barbering student about 300 hours out from his license (and in high school) got me *decent* for the show.

I was told it was "crayon" which I guess is a thing.

I'll be honest I was not a huge fan of LCD Soundsystem but now that I experienced that shit live? holy hell did I become a fan.

I haven't danced that much, that hard, at a show, in a long long time

Civilians in Tehran are reporting toxic oily rain following US and Israeli airstrikes on oil storage facilities. An estimated 10 million people face exposure to hazardous chemicals, with risks including skin burns and lung damage.

At any rate, I split an uber back to her house, and I walked to Michael's extra apartment, and drove back to Chicago early the next morning.

I knew and know she wouldn't remember that but I did.

I was grateful to see Rival Schools. Same lead singer as Quicksand and that dude has such a great guitar and voice.

I am grateful to Megan for a lot of bands she introduced me to, and for learning so much about myself along the way.

By good fortune, one of the Burrough's local craftsman/artists ran into us with his son at the show and we hung out with them the whole set.

I wasn't going to stay for the main act bc they were very much her band and the last time we saw them, she was hitting on another dude the whole time

She kinda insisted on going to a last show together I guess to close the chapter, in her way? I obliged. She got so blitzed immediately and immediately got co-dependent on me just taking care of her and buying her all her drinks and I made it really clear that I wasn't doing that.

Angel Du$t, Spiritual Cramp, Militarie Gun and I think SPACED each played a set. I think the show was $20? It fucking ruled. I had cigarettes outside with the lead singer of Spiritual Cramp after their set.

The next day I attached the trailer to the car and... went with Megan to see Rival Schools

I packed my own boxes, really Marie Kondo'd down to only that which would fit in a small trailer (which wasn't too difficult). Left so much there. But I was packed up and had two shows the days before I left Philly.

One was a basement show at First Unitarian Church. BYOB.

I have pretty serious ptsd from moving *every* *three* *years* of my life until I moved to philly. I hate packing. I hate loading a truck. Divorcing Megan wasn't just breaking a marriage and a business (two legal entities to dismantle), I was leaving the only roots I ever felt I made.

I was bitter

I've not forgotten this. I had a wave of responses.

The strongest urge was narrating this playlist, which I put together in February '24 in the four weeks I had to undo myself from a decade of getting entrenched and invested in a place, with a people.

As a follow-up...

I got the interview 2:15 late, but at least that happened.

and the five separate notices I've received from city of chicago are all for the same ticket, from November, that I've paid at least twice before.

so now I get to block another day off school to deal with *that*

Iran is 'confident' it could counter a U.S. ground invasion, foreign minister says Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi spoke from Tehran in an exclusive interview with "NBC Nightly News" anchor Tom Llamas.

would love to understand how the President thinks, even falsely and out loud, that he is totally exonerated from all this.

Right out the gate... one gets why they wanted to bury this

i really don't think Hegseth realized the diplomatic consequences of that strike
