one thing i'll never understand is tab (not the drink) ppl vs. windows people.

for example. i have worked with a lot of ppl who have a million tabs open in one window browser. i don't even know how the fuck you can find anything like that?
personally... i have windows open and then maybe 2 or 3 tabs open per window depending on what's going on and then other windows on another monitor so it's all spread out and i can actually see what i'm doing.

i don't trust tabs ppl.

i didn't know much about KenTheMan when i first heard about her, but what i read got me curious... when i put it on i knew in the first 5 seconds a. where she was from (H TOWN which she confirmed a few bars later) and what she's about (being that bitch). i'm here for it. i think imma need an old fashioned Doechii vs. KenTheMan freestyle rap battle.

i asked them if they had speaker cables for "post apocalyptic sludgecore" and they just looked at me funny.

my hood is in the NYT. back in the old days that used to mean something. now it just confirms this story has entered the professional propaganda phase. pity, that.

of course the irony here is that every single one of the fisherman and their wives voted for this.

they are really pushing the ICE facility here on the coast in Newport. more and more residents seem to be coming out in support.
if successful it will be interesting to see exactly who will be cleaning the hotel rooms and maintaining the grounds at all the resorts and vacation properties.
these ppl live in a fantasy world where there's all these oppressed white folks who as soon as that landscaping job becomes available.. cousin jed will be able to work.

the ice phenomenon can't last forever. and when it ends those dudes will go back to the police departments from whence they came and take that ice culture with them. this is only the beginning. expect to see a much more brutal authoritarian police force in the next ten years or so...

that was weird. i was sitting here minding my own business... watching the blazers game listening to a sleater-kinney record and then all of a sudden between the 3rd and 4th quarter they did a sideline interview with corin and carrie who were at the game. random.

elon's daughter is not here for her dad's bullshit.

screencaps of social media messages from elon's daughter to her dad: @vivllainous l understand your new angle is this “western values/ christian family man” thing but it's such a weird choice. You are not a family man, you are a serial adulterer who won't stop fucking lying about your own children. You are not a christian, as far as I'm aware you've never stepped foot in a church. You are not some "bastion for equality/progress”. You called arabic the "language of the enemy” when | was 6, have been sued for discrimation multiple times, and are from Apartheid South Africa. @vivllainous You are not “saving the planet” you do not give a fuck about climate change and you're lying about multi-planetary civilization as both an excuse, and because you want to seem like the CEO from Ready Player One. | would mention the birth rate stuff, but | am not touching that weird 14-words breeder shit with a ten foot pole. You single-handedly disillusioned me with how gullible we are as a species because somehow people keep believing you for reasons that continue to evade me.

if i had a dollar for every time some white person told me "but you're not really black" i wouldn't have a mortgage i would have just paid cash for this place.

Frederick Douglass on what happens when black people don’t fit racist stereotypes:

Douglass: "when prejudice cannot deny the black man's ability, it denies his race, and claims him as a white man. it affirms that if he is not exactly white, he ought to be. if not what he out to be in this particular, he owes whatever intelligence he possesses to the white race by contract or association."
