quote [ To me, I think that's actually one reason why things feel so divided and partisan right now, is because the overall majority consensus around the acceptance of whiteness and white democracy has collapsed, and white nativists can't even trust other white people to support them. ]

quote [ Arctic Adventure is back baby! ]
Was a big fan of Zork and Colossal Cave Adventure back in the day, gonna have to give this a whirl.
Hell is other people's code, including your own. Stuff I wrote a month ago looks like someone else wrote it, I can't imagine going back 40 years and debugging, I'd go insane.

quote [ A couple of years ago, I was in the second row of Magic Mike Live watching several ripped, shirtless men doing a modified cow pose on knees and balled fists. They repeatedly snaked their bodies to the ground, pelvises reaching the stage last. Later, a shirtless man thumped his fist against the stage with a coordinated thrust of the crotch. In another interlude, a man did a knee-pumping hump while traveling across the stage. I had not felt quite so giddy and breathless since watching a VHS of the Backstreet Boys in concert as a 13-year-old. These two events, separated by over two decades, had one crucial element in common: stage humping. ]
Brian David Gilbert's boy band parody got me thinking about air humping for some reason. Thanks for that, steele.

quote [ GoodShit is run by Fred Lapides. ]
I've long since stopped checking for updates to GoodShit since...I want to say, 2018? Hurricane Michael? There was a hurricane, and GoodShit stopped updating for at least a year. No idea when Fred Lapides started it up again, but if you're like me and gave up all hope, it's back from the dead!

quote [ Puh-rum-pum-pum-pum, people.
It’s very easy: So long as you don’t hear “The Little Drummer Boy,” you’re a contender. As soon as you hear it on the radio, on TV, in a store, wherever, you’re out. ] I hate Christmas music with a passion. You can submit your win/loss (and let's be honest, it's gonna be a loss) here.
