game on mute, listening to a nils lofgren interview. i've always pictured him as a bit of an airhead, but he's actually extremely sharp.

I remember when "hot takes" were called "trolling."

i was thinking about it today--"hot takes" as we know them have always existed thanks to the blowhards who cover our sports teams, politicians, societal trends, whatever. but thanks to the growth of the internet and the wealth of places for regular folk like us to drop our own opinions, those blowhards look no better than the anonymous pieces of shit that don't even know their garbageheap opinions are just piles of dung blazing high enough that 55-year-olds with trust funds and a liter of MDMA in their blood would travel across the country to fuck near it.

so when some dumbass sportswriter who hates his wife and kids has nothing but impotent rage to spew to a learned, well-read audience, we no longer call them incendiary or edgy because we get enough of that from our asshole peers in the pits of despair that are internet comment sections, Twitter and BSG. we lean our heads back, make a big fart noise and congratulate them on cooking up a HOT TAKE.

Hot cakes are just smaller pancakes, right?

On Tuesday my father went in for an endoscopy after having difficulty swallowing for about a month. He was quickly admitted to Aria Torresdale after they found a large mass almost completely occluding his esophagus. He now has a PEG tube in his stomach because he can barely eat. As of today he was given the diagnosis of gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma which is probably stage 3/4. I am asking everyone to please say a pray for him and my family as cancer tries to claim yet another one of our family members.

Same cousin whose brother committed suicide this winter. Awful. At least she has a her first kid (~4 months old at this point) to keep her busy.

used the word conglomeration in an email today.

Soren: Sorry to hear that. My uncle died of esophogeal cancer and it was horrible.

On Amtrak just north of Baltimore. Someone's been in the bathroom since Wilmington. He's either having the shit of his life, jerking off, or dead.

Been in there over an hour. Updating possibilities to dead or hiding from the conductor without a ticket.

There is a real person named Benedict Cumberbatch

Wizlah-calibre rant, but without torrents of cursing in the mix. I give it 8.75/10

Best New Rant

Much to my chagrin, it turns out a "bone stimulator" isn't a marital aid
