Your pointless thoughts & observations

Prior to the whole Harvey Weinstein debacle I'd no idea who the guy was. Now I'm gradually realizing just how many good flims the old codger was involved in. From Tarantino to Eli Roth, Kevin Smith and a handful of up and coming horror talents helped on their way. I can't help but wonder if the current Hollywood scene would've been slightly less stagnant had he still been in the bizzo, workin his movie magic.

Go talk to someone. Seriously. If only to get some ointment for your fingers. They must be worn out from typing so much.

Bipolar?

very reminiscent of what I experienced during last year 

he seems to b offline so that's good

"Man cave" sounds like such a sexually loaded word that it's interesting that all the dudebros are using it.

Let me enter your man cave..

It's because a natural void in the ground for human male entertainment sounds a bit contrived,  and even more creepy.

Finally listened to a 10cc album.  The first one, obviously (gotta go chronological).  JFC that is a GOOD debut album.  Production's about as good as I can imagine anything being.  Prob a bit outside the reaches of my imagination tbqh.

I've been hearing the term thrown around for at least a decade now. Used to be called "the den" when I was growing up.

Although I think it applies more to married men than bachelors.

Ah, but have you heard of the Femme Den? the She Shed? The Lady Lair? The Ma'am Cave? 

(it's a bit of a lol that some women felt the need to "reclaim" or "feminize" the idea of a man cave, considering the latter was essentially just men's attempt at trying to have a boudoir of their own)

How about non-binary barn?

Sure, let's get inclusive. I submit the Transgen-Den

the allegory of the man cave suggests that the sports memrobilia, unused exercise equipment, crude sexual humour, various pop cultural symbols of rugged masculinity etc with which u surround yourself form a sort of shadow world. the mancave is a simulacra display of virility that never truly extends itself out into unexplored terrain. the man cave is the realm of the demiurge, the blind idiot god who rules over the earth with cruel saturnian (but ultimately impotent) instinct. he is fully contained within the womb of the goddess that is material reality, much like your mancave is contained within a house otherwise conforming to your wife's aesthetic's sensibilities, and is only allowed to endure according to her whim (and thus it is never more than an empty/falsified expression of masculine assertiveness). the gnostics say that there is some ultimate ground of reality beyond all this, beyond the world of the demiurge or even the universal goddess. perhaps it is this that you see reflected in your stack of dumbbells collecting dust in the corner since march 2017. a faint whisper, a promise. a dream of truly gettin turnt up with the boys one more time, wifey b damned

Now what does a studio mean to everybody?

Studio = computer + ableton + headphones and/or monitors.

You know things are bad when you’ve had to wipe and bleach the underside of the toilet seat, and then had to take an emergency post-shit shower. 

Children of Men and The Handmaid’s Tale should be considered canon. Who do I need to speak to to make it official?

last night I was drunk. this morning I find a stick of butter in the fridge with teeth marks on it.

Has there ever been a country that has been made independent against their will? Like the parent country just granted them independence and told them to fuck off?

Coming back to this over 4 months later, I found out this is exactly what happened to Singapore.

"political cartoonist" is a joke profession to begin with but this is low-effort even for that:

"Radishes: Make your burp smell like a fart"

anyone heard from zen master ding lately? genuinely curious to know how the ding saga ends. last we heard he was chasing rabbits into oncoming traffic. wonder whatever could he be up to next...

@dingformung is anybody out there?

Since The Fortunate Son is like a pop culture soundtrack for Vietnam films, what do you think will be the signature song for Afghanistan war films in the future?

I can already see the dark-spectacled marines clutching their carbines and bobbing their heads in blackhawk helis

we need another one for serene sun set scenes

As much as I’m annoyed by people talking loudly into their phone (bonuspoints if it’s on speaker ofc) I actually enjoy the sound of someone speaking into their phone at a low volume. I’m waiting for the sidevaxxx to kick in and there’s an Italian girl across me speaking softly into her phone and it’s so soothing.
