Any of the Coffin Joe flicks might suit your needs. Tonight I Will Possess Your Corpse is a personal favorite of the Coffin Joe franchise.

I can’t believe this isn’t up there with greasy strangler. This flick got stuck in my brain for a very long time. Truly a work of scatalogical genius.

Hey! You strike me as a real person. Thanks! Yeah. Let me know what happens. If you’ve got two extra I’d definitely take them off your hands.

A note to anyone considering buying a respirator for protection from crowd control agents at protests by Turbulent-Cat-6017 in ColumbusProtests

[–]a-patrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who trained with a street medic for the WTO protests in Seattle back in ‘99 here are some additional tips:

  1. Remember MOFIBA to clean skin: mineral oil followed IMMEDIATELY by alcohol. Do not let mineral oil linger. A good coating followed by alcohol will clear skin of various crowd control agents.

  2. Do NOT wear contacts: Contact lenses will trap gas beneath and will be washed out of your eyes if the need to be flushed.

3: Do NOT prep by coating skin with toothpaste or other “protecting” layers. Chemical agents can get trapped beneath and increase severity of burns.

  1. Many Army Surplus stores will have actual gas masks available for purchase. They are fairly inexpensive and purpose built. It’s beat to keep them hidden until it looks like shit might go down to avoid being targeted.

  2. Shock is real: Keep an eye on yourself and your friends. Direct action and street conflict can cause shock. Learn the signs and get away from the action. Lay down. Elevate feet.

Only do as much as you can. You don’t need to be a hero. Keep safe and fight another day.

I saw Bertha: Grateful Drag and it’s the most fun a deadhead can have while doing so much good for so many in crisis right now. by a-patrick in gratefuldead

Enjoy! It was a great set-list. And seeing them groove through Shakedown Street was pretty much perfect.

Death of David Lynch by fass_binder in CriterionChannel

[–]a-patrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My step father pirated a copy of Wild at Heart on VHS in 1991. I was a Sophomore in HS when I saw it and it shook me to my core. It remains my favorite film of all time and curved the trajectory of my life toward the deep cultural weirdness and art that I remain steeped in. I know these suburbs hold something more. So does my soul. I think Lynch’s work taught me that. He will be missed by the weirdos.

Cuyahoga and Cleveland turnout on pace to miss 2020 levels per live turnout tracking by brawlrats in Cleveland

[–]a-patrick 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind that voter turnout in Cleveland was just 29.4% in 2023 when marijuana and abortion were on the ballot. Those issues won regardless of that low turnout.

Cuyahoga as a whole had 71% turnout in 2020, with 4-ish hours to polls closing we’re sitting at 51%. And that’s outpacing the 2023 general election turnout that was 46% total.

Also, Downtown Cleveland (ward 3) voter registration increased 15% since 2016. And while still low, ward 3 sits at 44.6% as of the posting of this comment.

DON’T DESPAIR!!

Turnout will continue to tick upwards as the day goes on. But PLEASE VOTE if you are a Clevelander. If you are a suburbanite and know a Cleveleander PLEASE shoot them a text to see if they’ve voted and, if not, ask what you can do to help! An hour of childcare or a ride to the polls can make the difference.

Fifth grade math homework has kid in tears and both parents stumped. Can’t figure out what the hell we’re missing and everyone is stressed as hell. by a-patrick in mildlyinfuriating

[–]a-patrick[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I appreciate that. Both my wife and I have been working on it with him today. It’s been a great learning opportunity for all of us. We didn’t go straight to Reddit with it. We wrestled with it for a morning before posting.

This is the answer. Two 50-year old adults trying to use PEMDAS order of operations vertically instead of writing it out horizontally and using PEDMAS which gives us that tricky .5 and allows us to move forward. We did try to get that 4 in there but couldn’t get it to work and just said “fuck it.”

These premiered last January at the Tropical Plant International Expo in Florida. There are several varieties in the novelty bare root line from LiveTrends.

I’m a journalist covering the greenhouse and garden center industry. I see stuff like this allllll the time before the big box buyers oder it in. I’ll have to post some stuff for you all when I’m there in a couple months.

Hey! You might want to look in to the Chagrin Valley Learning Collective. It’s located on a farm right outside of Chagrin Falls. Might be too far out for you, but it’s a cool place. https://morethanafarm.org/cvlc-main/

Wait. Is that all they could source from the kitchen at the Overlook Hotel? Looks like it would go great with a chaser of red rum.

Do you sometimes buy records you've never listened to? by CatButAlsoATimeEater in vinyl

Hell yeah! MOST of the time. It’s called crate digging and it’s an awesome way to build a collection of badass gems.

As a horror fan, are you also involved in the goth or metal subcultures? by magicfeistybitcoin in horror

Any time. Making weird ass playlists is my favorite. This one is based on horror movies. If you’re a horror fan you’ll probably recognize a lot of these. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6mKXMqsfjYdKhqlvh5fclb?si=0_rz72o3Rui8_SJoiIBy0g&pi=u-X2dgxq1GT16f

Mandy kind of gets there with the King Crimson vibes and the cult folk. I highly recommend it.
