Consider this your local bar, where drinking is encouraged, fans are welcome and trolls get bounced. I look forward to seeing you there.

back here (a tired an angry rant)

You know, every day i post on twitter to promote the GG show, or this site - i am reminded what a sad, torpid, alienating shit-planet that twitter is.
I have written a lot about the reflexes that Twitter engages among humans - and those are the "worst" reflexes. Where nice people must tell you that they hate you, because its not too your face, etc.
anyway, I've nearly cut my tweeting down to nothing but the barest promotions, and i don't care if people are "offended" by getting something for free that they think isn't worthy of their time.

This place is the future.
this is where real people go to act the way they would act, if we were all in the same room.
That should always be the standard: what if we were talking to each other at a bar, called the Gutter? would you say, what you're about to say?

Twitter is the opposite - preying on the basic cowardice of anonymity. Again, i refer to the bio of people who are generally the rudest. They describe themselves as Christians and moral citizens, then they shit on you because no one can call them on it.

The future is here, not there.
No one wants to be around ugliness.

Its funny - i have 1.7 million followers on twitter.
why don't I dump it?
because i have 1.7 million followers.
thats considered a commodity.
it's the biggest ruse ever. The only reason people like me don't
dump out is because we think we're throwing money away.
the mentality is this: my membership is larger than the subscriber base of most mens magazines. i could make more money than a company simply by shilling for shit.
anyway, that's why no one leaves. because you AREN'T the customer.
you ARE the product.
if its free for you to do something, then you're the product.
if someone is charging you - then you're getting a service.
we need to get back to that.

sorry i did a redeye and got back this morning. slept like a beaten dog until 3 pm. exercised. now sitting in front of a fire, drinking a glass of wine listening to a tony allen drum record.
i am anticipating a very rough week ahead. but i have to think like tom shillue, and pretend its an adventure. because it is.
this is the longest i've been away from elena, so thats a strain.
okay off to do other stuff. maybe i'll do a record review.
i will try to stay up and live chat the gg show.

A man suffered a serious heart attack while shopping in a store. The store clerk called 911 when they saw him collapse to the floor. The paramedics rushed the man to the nearest hospital where he had emergency open heart bypass surgery. He awakened from the surgery to find himself in the care of nuns at the Catholic Hospital. A nun was seated next to his bed holding a clipboard loaded with several forms, and a pen.

She asked him how he was going to pay for his treatment. Do you have health insurance? she asked.

He replied in a raspy voice, "No health insurance."

The nun asked, "Do you have money in the bank?"

He replied, "No money in the bank."

"Do you have a relative who could help you with the payments?" asked the irritated nun.

He said, "I only have a spinster sister and she is a nun."

The nun became agitated and announced loudly, "Nuns are not spinsters! Nuns are married to God."

"Perfect. Send the bill to my brother-in-law."
Mornin

Was watchin the Whitehouse Briefing yesterday ...
The CBS bimbo kept tryin to push a gotcha question on Karoline about the Whitehouse renovations and Pres. Trumps right to do them...
Her question , which wasnt a question....
"So the president has the right to just demolish any building in DC he wants...
The Whitehouse , The Jefferson Memorial , he can just tear them down ...
Karoline cut her off and moved on .
How freakin stupid of a question...
Why would Trump want to tear down any memorial in DC ....
And when was that ever mentioned...
Thats the lefts game , tearin down statues
I thought Bari Weiss was gettin CBS straightened out ...
The Bimbo needs to go.
