You know when your eye does that creepy weird twitchy thing because you're super tired because you spend so much time awake doing stuff you like and work a lot to be able to afford to live in an awesome place where you get to do all that stuff you like and you can't complain about being tired bc this was and is yr choice & u don't regret it at all ever? #nyc (at Brooklyn-Manhattan Bridge Park)

I usually feel frustrated when my train stops between stations. This particular time it stopped in just the write place to remind me that my frustration would be relatively temporary. Kinda just like everything. #jimcarrey #retype (at New York, New York)

He's about to get jumped. He knows it. He shoves something from his chest pocket into his mouth. He gulps, grimaces, and swallows it. And he gets beat up pretty bad. But not bad enough that he should be coughing up this much blood. He coughs up so much blood so violently that his attackers back off, disgusted. Apparently it was deliberate, his best defense. But he keeps it up even after they leave. He keeps coughing convulsively, scooping thick gobs of blood out of his mouth. He's trying to cough up that stuff he swallowed. Remember that moment. And it's starting to come out, little bits at a time. But it's covered in blood and bile and the glare makes it hard at first to see that it's diamonds.

That's an allegory if you want it.

Brady is Shady

mark cuban isn't wrong. brady is shady. covering up your crime should hurt your case. but brady got a lite punishment considering the crime itself coverup or not. tom brady cheated. and won the superbowl. strip him of the super bowl. duh. (then let him play all of the next season for all i care.) if i get caught walking out of the store stealing uggs, the first thing they're gonna make me do is give them back. if i take something unfairly, i'd have to return the thing i unrightfully took. then maybe i'll get banned from the store for some period of time. it's up for debate if i'm entitled to buy anymore uggs fairly in the future. but i don't get to keep parading around in the ones i stole. and i certainly shouldn't earn any more respect (or paid endorsements) as a result of having that elicit shit, which of course would never happen with uggs, but is exactly what happens with a superbowl ring. by just suspending brady for four games the season after he cheating and "won"* the superbowl, goodell and the nfl set a precedent that its worth it to cheat bc you get to keep any of loot you have on you when you get caught. "alright sir we caught you red-handed stealing these uggs, now go drop them off at your apartment and don't come back to this store until after black friday." you wouldn't let a runner keep a gold medal if you found out s/he had rocket booster sneakers. but--what?--because football is a team sport, its unfair to brady's teammates who did nothing wrong to strip them of the ring they worked so hard for? no! they benefited from his cheating and, even if though its not their fault that he cheated, you cannot say they would have the ring unless he had. how could i say the pats wouldn't have won the superbowl without cheating? i can't. but brady took away the possibility of having that conversation. the only way to say that he would've won without cheating for sure is if he had won it without cheating which he for-sure did not do. if anything, the suspension being in the following year means it negatively effects anyone who joined the team in the interim and was in-no-way associated with the team during its cheating period. their stats will go down during those first four games without brady. (brady is obviously amazing at football. that's not in dispute. but he's a huge douche. that's also not in dispute.) strip brady of his ring. in fact, strip the pats of every ring belichick has ever "won". kraft has clearly cultivated a culture of cheating in this particular franchise; revoke their charter. sorry. but i don't think bp should be allowed to drill for oil anymore. *

Scott Weiland is .00152588% the man he used to be

Assuming Scott Weiland was 100% man at the beginning of the Stone Temple Pilots song “Creep”--and that, when he says he’s “half the man [he] used to be”, he means precisely that he’s “half the man [he] used to be at the last time [he] updated us [us]”--he’s .00152588% man by the end of the song. Here’s how it breaks down:

Creep (100% man)

#TimeWarner called me last night to complete a customer service feedback survey in which I had told them I was not interested in participating. Today I had to call again because my internet went out for the fourth day in a row. This time I selected the option to participate in their customer support research. My experience was magically improved. Yesterday I was stuck in circles of unhelpful excuses, but today I was offered a solution and a prorated rebate for my interrupted service almost immediately. They treated me better when it would matter in their satisfaction data. Sketchy. A company willing to change the quality of their customer service to manipulate their satisfaction ratings is shady enough to pull this other garbage that seems to have started this particular series of calls: despite specifically informing us that nothing would change when we moved if we did a successful self-installation (we did--our internet had been working great before we started complaining about our bill) they raised our monthly bill without our consent. After weeks of calling and being told they'd look into the situation and call us back (which never happened) we eventually got a hold of someone who reduced the bill to our previous level (in retrospect I wish I remembered if we'd selected to do the survey that time) but refused to let us keep that rate going forward. We had no choice but to agree. So we logged onto the Internet successfully and paid our bill, begrudgingly. You kinda need working Internet for like I don't know things in general. Since we paid that contested bill, there hasn't been a day without a service interruption. Which seemed like a not funny coincidence until a few minutes ago. After that survey bullshit, I'm actually starting to think they're just fucking with us.
