When I read what you write, I picture you semi-conscious at the keyboard, words combinations emerging from a deep pocket of your mind that can only see and speak the truth. I mean this in the best way. I appreciate you. I’m gonna skip the Aperol and when my next pay check lands I’m gonna start paying for your wisdom.

nah its true my job is just to listen to music and achieve black out. I'm not that conscious of whats going on. around 2007 ghostface told me he was dusted recording 36 chambers and that lil wayne was lil wayne cause he was throwed too. and i realized that the best writing is when u just lose track of what people think, what u think, and just spazz. no conscious person would ever be able to arrive at "your flow never wet like grandma's pussy, i'm always good like grandma's cookies". that man blacked the fuck out.

This is the BEST 'something about nothing' piece I have read in a long awhile. Way to link some crazy thoughts together with a rando theory as the glue- absolutely love it. I was always worried about the dye in Aperol Spritz - what even is that?

I have a recurring dream where Zohran Mamdani and I are slammin mini-pitchers of long island iced teas at Gracie Mansion after his big win and then he accepts my request to officially change the name of these drinks to bing bong iced teas.

I can’t wait to for this to be the turning point for our country because im tired of seeing commercialized vibetok consumption in the greatest city in the world

LITs at Angel on Orchard (RIP) sustained this broke college student in the early 2s and if you went over the recommended dosage , Bereket or the Frites guy was around the corner to soak up the bad decisions

but yeah never went broke on LITs

There’s a great episode of Bob’s Burgers where Bob and Linda are childless for a weekend and they dress up and actually go out to a bar. It’s a dive with other middle aged adults. Bob gets to the bar and asks the bartender what he should order. The bartender recommends a LIT and they get wasted and have a great time! 💃🏻 🕺🏻
