You’re absolutely right, it’s so often completely vacuous, void of any attempt at creativity and uniqueness, it’s the anti-fashion. Which I suppose is the point?

I was a subject on the American version of the “Up” documentary series, where they film kids at age 7 and then return and film them again every 7 years

Here’s a clip of a babyfaced 21yo Dr. Death Metal talking about life and playing a sick basement show on the Discovery Channel

I genuinely love how all the best Gorpsegrinder stuff (i.e. him shopping at Target) gets that response

My greatest drunken night was back when I lived in England, I went to puke in a bush and nearly hit an Irishman who had the same plan. Turns out he was a member of a traveling circus, so he brought me back to their big top to revel with the circus folk and play with their animals

So my absolute favorite version of this is a perfect brandy manhattan, which I feel like nudges it in the sweeter direction as well, so I’m really curious about the one you make

Sorry if I’m being an obtuse doofus - to clarify, my favorite cocktail is a “Perfect Manhattan” (equal parts sweet and dry vermouth) and I was curious if your mix of ingredients was effectively doing that same flavor profile or if it was more akin to a traditional Manhattan

Wait is this your version of a perfect “Manhattan” or your version of a “perfect Manhattan?”

I finally watched “I Saw the TV Glow” and I guess I’m just gonna lie down on my bathroom floor for like 2 hours and feel feelings

Tranarchist Bane: “Oh, you think gender is your ally? But you were merely assigned a gender. I was reborn in mine. Transitioned for it. I didn't see the tv glow until I was already perceived as a man. By then, it was nothing to me but blinding! Gender betrays you because it belongs to my people!"

No, no, common misconception - as you can see, according to *these* lyrics, which are undoubtedly correct, the song is about football

Ha ha when I die I hope to return as a fart ghost!

Oh and I remembered two more - Joch Strong who was… strong

And Max Force, who had a weapon called the “G-Force Cannon” that could concentrate and apply gravity to extreme someone or something, which honestly is a pretty sick idea

Like 20 years ago I taught filmmaking at this arts center downtown and yesterday I saw an IG story from a podcast celebrating badass Chicago Latinas and it featured two women that had met in my class and are still friends - one is now an architect and one is a punk musician and y’all my heart 😭😭😭

That was like us as kids with a superhero named “Quarterback Sacker” whose only power was spear tackling people
