You’re not going to Heaven 
Eat a thousand crackers, sing a million hymns 
None of you are going to Heaven 
You’re not my children, you’re a bad game of Sims

Good to see these two still making music. Saw them live 6-7 years ago, was a great show.

What’s a little consolidation between friends?

According to a translator,

Turnover shares of the top 20 publicly traded payment companies

I admit to not knowing what this means and not caring enough to look it up. But I agree with both of you, Amex is way outsized and Fiserv/Global seem out of place. Not sure about PayPal because they seem to operate under their own rules.

Frank Rizzo would be proud.

I hate that I’ve said this more than once recently.

I don’t think I’ve thought about this episode in like 30 years. Yet I can hear the line like it was yesterday.

A lot of my favorites are already on Nebula. I’d ask the rest to follow but that would require a google account.

If Hollywood buys out much of the anime industry

Sony has quite a head start on this already, Hollywood be slackin.

see (read: hear + a little see) it.

Sounds like my experience in the theater. Most of the show was blocked by the ASL interpreters in the row in front of us. To be fair, the tickets were discounted.

Still a great show.

That’ll shock a few people, but a whole lot of others are gonna need to buy more tissues.

And yes, I will kink shame in this case.

Ceramic rocks. Pebbles, even.

Fr, I can fuckin go to sleep on my meds at times.

I didn’t do much but sleep for two months after getting back on the pharma-go-round after a couple of decades off of it. My psychiatrist refused to take my reports seriously and kept finding other things to blame. (And to be fair, there’s a LOT going on right now.) So I stopped le stimulant… and have had a grand total of two naps in as many weeks. I’m still exhausted all the time, but at least I can stay awake. I’m also not nearly as irritable.

Has anyone seen Frank Bennedetto? He might be able to help with the popcorn sitch. Also, he still owes me five bucks.

Irish people were among the most oppressed white minorities back in the day.

Most of the Irish Americans I know are just keen on dishing it back out to whatever Other they can target. I’m also related to most of the Irish Americans I know, so take that as you will.

I think there are more “allegedly” uses in this one article than in the entirety of MSM Luigi coverage.

I find guided meditation the easiest to follow. The “empty your head” thing I don’t think is possible for me. So let’s say it’s guided audio on deep breathing and a countdown from 20. Breathing in, I imagine the number taking shape. Could be a sports jersey, someone’s upcoming birthday or anniversary, anything associated with the number. Hold the breath, let the number solidify. Exhale, the number fades or gets blown away. Repeat, letting the audio keep me on track. My mind will wander. It’s inconsequential. The audio will either bring me back, or not. I can try again later.

The most important thing is that any form of mediation takes practice. It’s a skill like any other. It’s often suggested in therapeutic settings, usually for grounding etc. But it should be practiced while not in distress for it to be reliably there to lean on for the time you really need it.

What flavor is it?
