IT’S READ A BOOK SATURDAY

Just found out about this book and now I need to track it down.

IT’S A HOLIDAY SATURDAY!

It’s time to get there and grill and drink and hit the beach and get a life threatening virus! You probably won’t die! It’s only a 1 in like 30-to-50 chance that you die! One in four or so that you develop a lifelong breathing problem!

But, what’s a pandemic, really? I mean, who gets to decide that? And what are their ulterior motives? Fuck it up this Memorial Day weekend and if you die you die. Huzzah!

So make sure to support your local businesses like GrubHub and Home Depot and Pizza Hut or whatever the fuck! We all died years ago. Someday it will finally obviate itself.

A tribute post to Spencer

I thought it might do us all some good to get back to music posts. Music and food posts. Spencer loves the Beatles.

Did you ever hear the story about Elton John rewriting the lyrics of “Imagine” to mock John & Yoko? I always think of this now when the real song comes on.

Imagine six apartments,

it isn't hard to do,

one is full of fur coats,

another's full of shoes

Anyway, to that end: Imagine being a huge dumbass who aspires to dry snitching because you couldn’t hack it as a police officer. Imagine thinking Darren Wilson was right to shoot Mike Brown but then you also compare yourself to Malcolm X. Imagine going on a misbegotten and inscrutable crusade over identity politics while also making openly misogynistic, sexualized threats and putdowns ad nauseum. Imagine thinking of yourself as some kind of true communist hero of the people but also devoting endless hours of your time to getting strangers fired from their jobs because they made fun of you on the internet. It’s hard to get into that kind of mindset but John Lennon would want you to do it.

Let’s all talk draft and stuff in the comments!

The greatest story ever told

August 7th, 2018 is a day that will live in glory. It is the day I discovered this video, the absolute best thing that has ever been put forth into any form of media.

Give it a few minutes. This has been killing me for several days now. The high point is around the 6 - 6:30 mark.

Follow the bouncing ball

There is no accident in Trump referring to MS-13 gang members as animals and there is no accident in the way his reference was reported and, maybe, muddled. And, most importantly, there is no accident in a witting public taking Trump’s ‘side’ in a debate that isn’t happening.

There is an interesting through line with MS-13 and Donald Trump and immigration and propaganda that is just waiting for somebody with a closer understanding of political discourse throughout history to really investigate. But that person is not on this staff and is not looking to fill up your Saturday with a slightly elusive but almost clear concept.

My Favorite Serial Killers: #5 Ed Kemper

Wiki.

I loved Mindhunter mostly for the portrayal of Ed Kemper.  Ed Kemper is a fascinating dude.  On one hand, he’s a giant psychopathic murderer.  On the other, he had a near-genius IQ and a certain affable, honest personality that was hard not to be drawn to.

Kemper did some really messed up stuff, no doubt.  But at the same time, he was failed at pretty much every single level, by both his parents and the state.

Both his parents took turns abandoning and abusing him, and he was left with his abusive grandparents…who he promptly killed.  He was sent to a psych prison, where upon release, it was recommended that he never have contact with his mother ever again.

The state, being the geniuses they are when it comes to issues of mental health, put him right back at home with his mother.  His mother continued to abuse him, making him stay in the basement and telling the family it was because he would rape his sisters.

Yadda yadda yadda (FF to 3:45 to see how he feels about his mother), Ed Kemper is my fifth favorite serial killer because of his unfliching, affable honesty in interviews, the fact he was fuckin’ massive at 6′9″ and over 300 lbs, and, when you combine that with his 136 IQ 145 IQ, it’s just all around a pretty terrifying image.

So there you go!

Saying Goodbye To My Grandfather

My grandfather passed away in the middle of the night, one week ago today. He lived 81 full years, and died peacefully in his own home. He’s survived by his wife of 61 years, 5 siblings, 5 daughters, and a whole mess of grandchildren and great-grandchildren. 

He was the most effortlessly charming person I’ve ever seen, and I know you all would have loved meeting him. To give you an idea of the power of his charisma, he settled in a decidedly blue-collar logging/mill town in the middle of early-1980s Maine as a guy with a funny foreign accent who insisted on wearing AT LEAST business casual clothes in public at all times, and was instantly embraced as a beloved member of the community. Small-town Mainers are typically wary of those “from away,” especially those with means. There was none of that suspicion when it came to my Grampa, though. It was impossible for him to be an outsider, because he was always welcome everywhere.
