“I saw your mom, she laughed at my little dick”

Yeah everything about this is so fucking sad. It’s even killed my bit of "i thought postpartum psychosis was thinking your ugly-ass baby is a “little cherub”

Ok but my recent bit: “my employer has a UHC plan, and Brian Thompson deserved worse” has been crushing it across demographics. So square that circle judge fuddyduddy

I liked the flocks of geese that would watch us seeding - “oh wow you guys didn’t have to- i already had a pretty big lunch - but i cant say no to hospitality…”

Tell me about it. I only left because i got moved into the design side and the principal i worked for was a fucking weirdo; then they were acquired by a much larger firm and heads rolled everywhere. Most of my construction colleagues are around though still though, and are still lovely people to have beers with when I’m back in town

Are our necks, backs and shoulders a bit fucked up? Were we exposed to too much glyphosate? Sure. But the camaraderie and satisfaction was nice

For sure - i definitely skew higher on what i think wages should be compared to cost of living. I made $16/hr as a fresh engineering grad a decade ago - but that’s on me for going in to environmental conservation rather than destruction. Idk either it just feels stagnant - and not a big draw for folks to move to cowtown, usa.

Hexbear conservation corps when? Cool to see another ditch-digger :) literally was the best job I’ve had.

Yeah i feel like TT (cant bring myself to write his full name without fedposting) is going to win any way and the state will just continue to get precipitously worse. Maybe theyll fix the teacher shortage by collaborating with the tavern league to press-gang 4-time OWI offenders. Like you say most of the state are as docile as winter cattle and twice as gullible

Also $50k/yr in light of the great cheeto-pedo war and its inflation is like minimum wage, right?

Surely an unrelated phenomenon wrt Wisconsins general trajectory of appeasing the bourgeoisie

“putin on airs”

Giuliani questioned what a six-month-old could possibly be taught in pre-K

Lmao not much- just literally everything

Pre-9/11 airplane-magazine article (no one got on the plane with intent…)

Oh no thats the bone hurting juice joe!

oof ouch owie my bones

I reeeeeeeeally wanted the big bionicle set with the motorcycle guy - but even then my folks weren’t spending >$50 on legos.

Edit: Upon investigation it was actually lego technic roboriders

Dang someone should tell him about Venezuela

Nice I’ll check it out! Thanks

That’s the best! Any particular way you keep the reading list organized? I’ve been meaning to catalog all of the books i have in a meaningful way - but in the meantime theyre just bouncing around in my noggin lol.

Also what you mentioned is a big reason i love texts with huge bibliographies; its like a dry, niche cinematic universe!
