Speaking as somebody who thinks 4′33″ is legitimately genius, damn that organ piece is some stupid gimmicky bullshit.

One of the funniest stories I’ve ever been told was a friend recounting a night in Amsterdam with his wife when they ended up in the red light district. I was pretty sure he was only telling it because he was too drunk to stop, so I did feel a bit guilty, but don’t worry, [REDACTED], it’s safe with me!

Conceptual art is often a bit like that.
Tangential: When I was young I honestly thought “Jewtown” in Chicago was a Jewish neighborhood like Chinatown and had a sitcomesque kerfuffle with some Jewish acquaintances where it took a few minutes for it to be squared away that I wasn’t being antisemitic when I said it, I just literally had no idea.

Ben Shapiro apparently lives near me. My wife goes to this farmers market almost every weekend.

I’m never going to get over that.
Despite having won a walrus, my abiding memory of walruses will be of fucking Sting outranking the genius of Captain Beefheart. And that was even one of his most accessible tracks.
Gonna be fun when Elon arrives on Mars & discovers we all fled to earth 1,000,000 years ago.

Well… at least they know they won’t be kept awake at night by the noises from his house.

Telecoms are so brutal. Did my semi regular “I may leave you” call and ended up with better tv, internet and phone and bill went from $300 to $172. Such a scam!
It is absolutely infuriating that me, a low maintenance customer who always pays on time, gets the worst deal. The whole “call, threaten to cancel, get a deal” charade is infuriating. My small rebellion is to refuse the retention offer and tell them why. I’m sure the call center employee loves my “incentives matter” rant on the way out the door.

I told him they were basically stealing $1500 a year from me!
They laughed at me last time I tried that as there are no other alternatives for reliable high speed internet and cable in my town right now.
