1.) Your ability to stay vividly angry for days straight at a time will be dubbed “temper tantra”.

2.) Tell the stories you needed when you were young or hurt or empty and you needed them but they weren’t there. Make that art. Play that song. Do the thing you needed then because there’s ten million like you then right now.

3.) Our rich ambiguity, our evasion of fast definition, they infuse us and bind us. Liminal beings are we, not these crude binaries. You must feel the indefinability around you, between you, him, her, me, everything. We need psychopomps, not guiding the living to death rather guiding the locked-in past the boundaries we think exist that cause fear & hate. So many think Styx splits life from death but underneath the water, the riverbed’s the same land as on both of the sides. Continuous.

4.) I liked how on DOUG, the titular character would slip further and further into hallucination and delusion without any of his peers or the adults ever considering his mental health or how dangerously this was all going to end.

5.) When Captain Planet is split into the different ring energies, what happens to his consciousness, his mind? Is it a disjointed waking nightmare of fragmented will and desire? When he discorporates back, is it like death? Is he scared?

6.) If you make yourself indispensably useful as an errandboy or grunt, they will either decide all grunts can do this and hold you to both impossible and dispensable standard or they’ll never let you work up because you’re too useful there.

7.) This is the week for hearing about white rappers I’ve never heard of, I guess.

8.) I enjoy the crossroad in Johnstown where there are literally two Stewarts on opposite corners. It is one step away from having a smaller Stewarts within a bigger Stewarts.

9.) You are broken and you are amazing. Don’t get it mixed up, though, you’re not broken because you’re amazing, you’re not amazing because you’re broken. You’re just independently both. Embrace it all, move forward, shine.

10.) “Are Americans really so dumb that we can’t safely have toys inside our chocolate Kinder eggs without choking to death?” I ask, then I remember who has been allowed to be fake president.

11.) 2018 is just trying to listen to classic rock on youtube but the bean-counter optimized algorhythms keep pushing you toward the auto-play of Let’s Play videos in languages you do not speak.

12.) I don’t see why we don’t call pop punk “ponk”.

13.) A punk bakery called “Crust Punks” would be pretty fun.

14.) Post Malone sounds like a really bland cereal for senior-citizens with digestive problems, not a white rapper with trust-fund facial tattoos.

15.) I’ve reached the point in perpetual singletude where a little foil packet isn’t assumed to be a condom, it is assumed to be discarded seasoning from a ramen eaten as a dry brick at three in the morning.

16.) If I didn’t know this ceramic statue was a very low-quality California Raisin knock-off, I would ask “Why is a turd in sunglasses holding a sex toy?”

17.) If you need a ruling on what to regulate, establish a Warren G Commission.

18.) All the shingles, ladies, all the shingles, ladies, if you want it then don’t put vaccines in it, if you want it then just don’t put vaccines in it.

19.) People think that “Fall Out Boy” was named after the Simpsons character when it was really the singer’s nickname regarding his sexual dysfunction.
