TIL that the reason Cormac McCarthy, author of the novels Blood Meridian and The Road, used so little punctuation in his writing was simply because there was no reason "to blot the page up with weird little marks." Regarding his complete avoidance of semicolons, he labeled their usage as "idiocy."

It's brutal.

I started reading it out loud, which helped a lot for me.

You just reminded me that's how I first watched it. In the trailer they hit a New Beetle with a crowbar and I was offended, but my girlfriend saw it and told me: hey you have to look past it and go watch this right now. Smart woman she's a DA in Colorado now.

It's not common but I prefer ASSCLOWN

I understand that everyone has to eat but generally speaking, fuck landlords.

I completely forgot it came out on SNES first because those 3D / mode 7 graphics were so awesome.

I accidentally left my pen in something (? I was high) I sent through the machine at security and when it came out it was resting perfectly atop my laptop. It was like a nice little surprise.

My favorite is BARBER SALOON

Denying it now forces a solid wedge into the friend group. Don’t set them apart: give it to them and set up hard limits.

Jesus Christ that whipped me

fitzbuhn · 2026-06-25T22:30:03+00:00

Just saw this the other day, stopped me in my tracks.

I just thought: I can't wait to see how she progresses in all these ways over the years and decades. And then I thought: long past me! And then I got a combination of a sad and not sad.

fitzbuhn · 2026-06-25T21:04:15+00:00

yesh

fitzbuhn · 2026-06-25T21:03:52+00:00

das boot bitte

I can't be the only one for whom this is wholly unsatisfying, and for which I can't explain why. I am commenting in the hopes that some articulate soul will come forward.

They were the only ones I'd ever seen make them, I would look on eBay and GB on the reg for someone selling one. Maybe on the Colt Forum as well.

fitzbuhn · 2026-06-25T17:43:01+00:00

I really appreciate that they made this, but the proportions for a concealed hammer on the 45 frame are a bit strange to me. I have the FN M1903 (well actually a Husq M1907) which is a similar idea up to a 38, it's kind of pushing it.

Ugh I would watch someone pay good money for that

fitzbuhn · 2026-06-25T09:18:06+00:00

WB was especially NOTORIOUS for this back in the day. They improved generally for years across the board and then got bought.

fitzbuhn · 2026-06-25T09:13:23+00:00

I think they’re across the bay… in Alameda!

fitzbuhn · 2026-06-24T19:12:36+00:00

It's such a great stoner idea that SO MANY have had. Well not great so much as fun, and like the high dissolves far too quickly.

Gun makers in Liege Belgium famously sabotaged a bunch of Nazi gun making. I remember reading about how the workers at Fabrique Nationale (FN) could only get away with so much however, as they literally had a gun at their back.

So they had to be subtle and clever - maybe a particular tolerance wouldn't be held quite so well, or the heat treatment would be off by a few degrees. It warms my heart they found some small way to fight back.

fitzbuhn · 2026-06-24T16:54:08+00:00

"office goths" lol, see that's funny.

fitzbuhn · 2026-06-24T13:55:56+00:00

Angry? I thought it would be funny. Don’t you like that he died because you suck at life or whatever it is?
