coyote sing along hour
you'll wind up in some factory that's full-time filth, and nowhere else to go
walk into an empty house, sit around all by yourself
though it might sound strange, I believe you'll be comin' back before too long
don't go back to Rockville
don't go back to Rockville
don't go back to Rockville
and waste another year
at night I drink myself to sleep and pretend I don't care that you're not here with me.

"the greatest scam ever written - how a Montreal copywriter swindled victims out of $200 million by pretending to be a legendary psychic"
that's nothing, federal minimum wage adjusted for inflation is somewhere $8-12/h instead of the $7.25/h it is now. Assuming $10-$7 as a rough guestimate, $200 mil is 66666667 hours underpaid. There are about 1.6 million minimum wage workers in the USA - so that's about 42 hours per min wage worker, around a week or so of work. And that's just this year. And that's only some of the fiscal harm done by or in the wake of Reaganomics.
It's disheartening just how many job things I get which are some sort of senior citizen center (I am not up for that) and Amazon's always hiring warehouse people.
also if your office assistant job requires being able to reach heavy objects down from shelves while providing up front customer service that... isn't an office job.
Idk, it's really easy to spiral from here into self hate about how I was too fucking stupid to become a programmer
#drawings today, revision of June drawing of a Neanderthal with his spirit hawk and an Uldra facing a real angry yeti; and a plate armored adventurer defends against a rakshasa while a rakshasi looks on.
I was thinking about this because the place I was at had the song on the PA. It’s fairly sad for me, because even though we survived that crummy apartment as a couple, there was a lot more hell to come, stress really messed with the never-great odds of us lasting, and eventually we broke up. Anyway if you haven’t seen the movie it’s really charming, it’s one of my big favorites.
In the movie Yellow Submarine, the song “When I’m 64” gets a little countdown with animation ending in a silhouetted couple kissing. A friend lent me and the ex their VHS copy of Yellow Submarine during a *really* bad year - an apartment we thought would be OK turned out to be very not OK, and that movie really helped us both to keep our sanity together, we watched it a lot. So one of our things as a couple became, if “When I’m 64” was playing we’d kiss at the end. I mean a cartoon *said* to.

A Tribute To Vernon - Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom - by John Wil... https://youtu.be/iyOVmES9Pbk via @YouTube
I haven't watched the start to the movie in years because the sinophobia really grates on my nerves and I missed that part of the movie has *this* gem. John Williams doing jazz, where he started out.
problematic movie, violence, cinematography
Listening to the soundtrack to Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom; our society really has a visual language about weaponry that gets played with in this movie. The only big fight with melee weapons uses tulwars (long visual elements), the only time someone actually tries to knife someone, Chattar Lal swaps grip on a dagger (not a katar!) dramatically as a *framing* element, but even though nobody actually *uses* a katar in the movie, they're the closest read to "a batch of people point guns at the main character."
Lots of random gunk, but some drawings and cooking talk too. Obsesses about DnD and related topics. Left-leaning/profoundly frustrated politics. Black lives matter; trans rights are human rights.
