Close enough welcome back Oscar Wilde

Best thing my grandfather ever taught me is that you’ve gotta let yourself grunt and groan when you’re doing something difficult. Makes it easier.

Next time you lift something heavy go gggrrraaaugggghhhh ugh hurf really loudly. If it’s hard to get up in the morning, moan and groan while you do it. When reaching for something you can’t quite get, go hhhrrraaauuugghhbadar about it.

Makes everything easier.

My grandpa has been disabled in one form or another since he was in his early 20s and he worked in construction until his 50s. He knows about doing hard things. Whenever I was helping him with moving things as a kid he always told me to grunt and groan real loud about it. Makes it easier, he said. And it does. It always, always does. Making a real loud noise and complaining about it always makes it better.

In addition to the psychological benefits, grunting also stops you from reflexively holding your breath when you strain your muscles. Hard work is easier when you breathe.

Relatedly, this is the reason that martial artists are always making "huah!" sounds.

That last part is true! The sounds have a purpose!

I’m watching Splash (1984) which is a romcom about a guy who falls in love with a mermaid, and when she chooses a human name she chooses Madison and guy says “that’s not a real name, but alright” which seems to imply that Madison was not a name until at least the 80’s and all girls named Madison are actually named after the mermaid. thought you should know

I think...you might be right

what the fuck

Today my wife texted me this, and then immediately called me to make sure I got it because it was “an urgent message”.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit is a movie first and foremost about the destruction of minority neighborhoods and public transit by the American car industry. After that, it's a technological milestone. And then it's about cartoons

I'm always saying this and people are always astonished because they never watched it as an adult. It's not subtle!!

sex isn't sexy unless it's a little bit gross. have you forgotten that you are a divine ape? plastic smooth skin, plucked hair, painted faces, scripted reactions, scrubbed til only the smell of perfumed soap remains, proportions that are conflictingly cookiecutter yet unattainable, none of this is even a little bit interesting.

you can laugh at napoleon's "home in three days, don't bathe" letter to his wife, but there's more sexuality in that one line then there is in the entirety of the hypersexualized but painfully unsexy internet.

What are your thoughts on musk?
