The only song I knew by McCarthy before now was "Red Sleeping Beauty", which is about rising up (or not) against Margaret Thatcher

McCarthy and Milky Wimpshake shaking hands over being two cute jangly British bands that I never realized were so communist

See, I posted this without even knowing one of his rockets exploded yesterday.

I think Elon just wants to murder all his fans. Shoot them into space, give them flamethrowers, sell them death trucks.

When I am looking to buy a car, I highly prefer ones that are obvious death traps, with lots of sharp corners so that it is for all practical purposes a heavy, high speed knife.

Fuck what Ralph Nader said with that unsafe at any speed crap. My car shall be pointy and lack any way to escape when it crashes.

Looking like a cop car from a dystopian cyberpunk future is, in fact, a bad thing, which you might be able to deduce from the words "dystopian" and/or "cop"

Why is everyone talking about the car from Virtua Racing?

I'm a chunky rodent

The spam calls that know enough to have my phone number, but not enough that I don't own a car.

I'm queering nerd masculinity by being a queer, arguably masculine, nerd

Like, oddly, it's less the nerdy neuroticism, as much as the vocal cadences and Alvie's more surreal punchlines. Like, Griffin would not make a joke about polymorphic perversity, not least because it's 2019. But he would totally make a joke with his wife about feeling up her teeth and kneecaps.

Listening to clips is making me think Griffin McElroy's comic persona some sort of Appalachian Woody Allen, which both tracks and is something I'm not sure what to do with.

The way Woody hits, "We never have any laughs anymore, is the problem," is both a very Yiddish-influenced sentence construction, and very Griffin.
