I guess the rights to “Tomorrow Belongs To Me” were too expensive.

Look, just because a man orders people burned to death, laid seas of land mines his country is still trying to disarm, dragged out a civil war for a decade longer than it needed to go, and oversaw staggering, vomitous atrocities, that doesn’t mean you should compare him to barbarians.

Nobody would pay for it. If we’re talking seriously faithful to the Inferno, we’re talking a “walking simulator.” I could see it happening now, but the PS3 era? Nah.

There was a fascinating marketing survey leak from the late ‘90s that basically confirmed all the people snapping up SUVs at the time were dickheads. I suspect in cities like NYC little has changed there.

You do understand that milk cows have been bred, over generations, to produce more milk than a calf could ever consume, right? And that by leaving them unmilked, you would essentially leave them standing in a field, screaming in pain?

Also, yeah, it’s totally going to pass just for the tax revenue/police budget savings alone. The only reason it’s a ballot initiative is that Baker is such an ass-covering chickenshit.

I used to be a local-area reporter for a short time, and I spent a lot of time with cops. I never met a single one who didn’t think weed busts were a waste of their time. The only value to them was occasionally they could use it to shitcan a domestic abuser, and that was it.

To be fair, most people who dream of being artists wind up in sales.

Oh, I Googled myself afterward, I believe you. I’m just amused at how thin the veneer of illegality has become.

Likewise. I’m a big fan of “John Henry” in particular myself.

Now playing

Newman, I like pulling out “Rednecks”, “Little Criminals,” “Sail Away,” or especially “Sigmund Freud’s Impersonation of Albert Einstein In America.”

TMBG is like Randy Newman; everybody THINKS they know the musician because they’ve heard a few songs from a TV show or a movie, and then you whip out something like, in TMBG’s case, “Shadow Government” or “First Kiss.”

Jones is a talented filmmaker but JESUS those teeny little tusks on Paula Patton. She looks like a children’s movie character.

I spent two years as an RA, and I learned two things: 1) Stoners are intolerably smug about how much better behaved they are than drunks and 2) They are not actually any better behaved than drunks, just obnoxious in different ways.

Is it up to an ounce? That’s a bit surprising, I thought the standard set was “personal use.”

Nah, the people on the committee are stiffs. They want to see the tax numbers versus costs, so they can figure out where the money will go (probably Western MA). In MA, you can hold up to an eighth of an ounce and it’s treated the same as a parking ticket right now.

I’m fully aware and it’s completely ridiculous. Oculus won’t eat shit, they’ve been managing expectations hard, but everybody else? VR is the new smartwatch.

Yeah, that’s part of the problem. Oculus is holding a discreet, quiet party and then a dozen other companies show up in body paint honking vuvuzelas.
