  1. for research purposes, is it safe to assume from your experience that high-end escorts have a preference for hotels over short term rental arrangements? cameras and such? fwiw, i have also really soured on airbnb/vrbo of late as well. last few experiences have left a bit of a bad taste in my mouth despite being an OBSCENELY respectful guest (primarily because i am an obsessive compulsive clean freak) and usually peoples' places are in substantially better shape when i leave than when i get there...
  2. is that ferdinand the shark? what the ever loving fuck?
  3. JWST Update...a few really cool additions. First up is a mid-infrared image of the Fomolhaut stellar system. This is an incredible resolution of a baby star with the protoplanetary debris disk beginning to separate and take shape. once can observe a couple of pretty obvious rings (including never before seen inner belts) that will continue to refine and the inner belt will aggregate into planets the same way as our solar system. the outer belt in this image is about 14 billion miles from the star. in comparison, pluto is 3.7 billion miles from our sun. next is the now famous galactic protocluster shot of the earliest observed galaxies. the five highlighted galaxies have a measured redshift of 7.9 which equates to approximately 650 million years after the big bang. looking at light that left its source about 14 billion years ago. while this picture isn't all that inspiring...it is showing the saturnian moon enceladus expelling a massive plume of h2o vapor. we now can follow the water to see that it helps contribute to the planet's famous rings. pretty strong evidence that enceladus is pretty damned close to earth's oceans in terms of molecular makeup...it is saltwater. no word yet on rednecks with salt life bumper stickers roaming the area. here is a great zoom of orion's bar. zooming in with the mid infrared cam, you can make out a protoplanetary disk in the massive molecular cloud. however, it is all deformed because the orion bar is in the process of getting ripped apart by stellar radiation.
  4. nascar is still a thing? christ.
  5. I’ve never been so struck by the profoundness of a silly insta meme before. nails it for me.
  6. my list for this category has sadly gotten pretty small over the years. sigur ros, i'll get the new p.g., max richter, ludovico eunaudi...not much else.
  7. so what you're saying is...there have been a few backwards steps since this?
  8. he's absolutely right. in a streaming world, the way these guys make money now is by touring. have to do it. even big time acts are coming up with unconventional ways to release albums one song at a time, etc... to drive up stream counts but ultimately, gotta tour and gotta get those gates to maintain the income flow.
  9. jesus fucking christ.
  10. Coming here to post the same thing. That was amazing.
  11. fuck everything.
  12. pretty meta...given that we're talking about people that were willing to risk a horrible death in a pretend submarine with harold hill in order to go look through a piece of glass at the 100 year old remnants of a horrific tragedy at the bottom of the ocean.
  13. mine was not casual. it was very boastful and purposeful...and it was extremely validating. and we are long way from a cycle. no corvettes, no raydog and his thai ladyboys, no abortion, no one telling anyone else they should kill themselves, no mention of hydraulics, and we haven't even gotten close to steering an argument regarding the absurdities of fundamentalist christianity into a metaphysical debate over axiom 3 of godel's ontological argument. that said, we did get a mile long post from brisket and someone used the term "efficientnado" so we are well on our way. but my key takeaways have actually been that 956 revealed to me the best idea i've seen in years...ghost writing this century's confederacy of dunces by aggregating all of wulaw's posts on this site and turning them into a novel.
  14. when you guys talk about 6 inch penises, you mean flaccid, right? because if you guys mean erect, i think i now know why my way too good looking for me wife married me. fuck, now i'm on wulaw's dong database.
  15. i tried to block that out honestly...but riving the top off of an rv from driving into a new england bridge substantially too low for any clearance delivers the ignatius reilly nicely.
  16. i'm just impressed he's finally become self aware (or got a diagnosis) regarding his autism. he flipped the fuck out a few years back when i made my internet diagnosis. but you're exactly correct. if he can successfully weave in his wife's (or possibly ex-wife's?) live-in lesbian sister's journey, i think we are on our way to the ultimate combination of a toole novel, a paul thomas anderson movie, and a jason isbell song. i weep for those people on this board that do not realize an unrestrained wulaw is like having our own secret blend of albert camus and charles bukowski - but with awful spelling and grammar (which honestly enhances it). we are so incredibly lucky.
  17. they have been for a while.

    New Music 2023

    new sigur ros came out on friday. easily the most ambient of their albums. will be a hit with some of their fans and too slow for others.
  19. Peter Gabriel at the O2 in London. Crushed @jimmyjazz’s favorite song about fucking. Red Rain stole the night for me but not unexpected. IMG_4534.mov IMG_4537.mov IMG_4539.mov IMG_4540.mov
  20. He’s the owner and director of tailors but nowhere to be found today…
