"Dead baby shark" would make a good Cannibal Corpse song.

I keep thinking that I should text a friend of mine, tell him how much I've been writing, tell him I mentioned him in something I wrote. Then I remember he died like 4 years ago.
Edit:
It must have been more like 6 or something now that I'm thinking about it. It was part of the way through the first Trump administration. He would have really appreciated the way Trump is unraveling now. One of the last times we talked he was like... "You know man, You used to play 'Baby, I'm an anarchist' and I'd think... ' don't want to throw a brick through a Starbucks window. I kinda like their coffee sometimes.' But the way things have been going lately, I'm kind of looking around and thinking you might be right. Fuck Starbucks. Where's that brick?"
At least I won the SRV vs the Hendrix version of Voodoo Chile debate. Hendrix is just better.
We used to talk about music, especially punk (and rockabilly, and ska, and 2 tone), and poetry, and beer. He liked hop stupid, but I always thought it didn't have the body to match the hops and I always preferred Racer 5. Of course, this time of year we'd be shifting in to red and stout season, and I'd be excited for Lagunitas Russian Imperial and this year's Bourbon County Stout batch.
He was really big in to Star Wars. He missed all of Andor, which is probably the best thing to have come out since the original 3. But I guess he also missed the new trilogy, so maybe it balances out.
He would have really liked all the good music I've run across in the last few years. He had a music blog for a bit.
Yeah... I don't know why it's hitting me so hard now, other than maybe I never had time to really process it before.

I regret to inform you all that I went back in time intending to only fix one little thing, but I couldn't help myself and I messed with some other things too. Now I've changed the present to be all wrong; not only do you have to deal with that Berenstain Bears nonsense, but you also now have to deal with Trump and Mamdani being besties. I'd say I'm sorry, but I'm really not - it was totally worth it*.
* My lawyers have advised me not to say anything further.

“If a pregnant person, due to head injury or illness is brain-dead, on a ventilator, their organs will keep functioning for the duration of the pregnancy. Once the baby is delivered, the normal cascade of organ failure will begin. The baby’s brain seems to be producing something that sustains the organ of the mother. What that something is, is unknown.”

‘Dit drukmiddel van importheffingen wordt misschien komende week al uit Trumps handen geslagen’ | de Volkskrant

Leuke analyse van de Volkskrant.
Wat ik alleen volledig mis is de 'logische keus' om Groenland in bezit te willen hebben.
The devil is waarschijnlijk in de details van de bijzondere aardmetalen. Een Amerikaans bedrijf heeft daar al een flinke vinger in de pap bij een van de bedrijven die zich er mee bezig houdt. Maar Groenland heeft een paar problemen:

Bob Weir and I were handcuffed together and as we came down the stairs, the crowd cheered.
