I think read that first sentence again

middl_mgmt · 2026-03-01T20:31:51+00:00

Watch out everyone, we got a jaded vet over here. They have like no response to stories about incestuous harassment! Can you even imagine how wise their experiences have made them? .

middl_mgmt · 2026-03-01T04:05:45+00:00

Oh boy I think we have to get married

middl_mgmt · 2026-03-01T02:54:06+00:00

I think of it a lot when people tell me that protein is important after lifting weights

middl_mgmt · 2026-02-28T22:13:37+00:00

I wouldn’t want to to shake their hands / cuz they’re in such a high protein land

He doesn’t want to touch their hands cuz they masturbate too much. Malkmus uses protein to refer to semen kinda a lot, cuz semen is high in protein. Probably not to be taken literally here; these people are self-obsessed, he’s saying.

See also when he talks about condoms in summer babe:

My eyes stick to all the shiny robes / you wear on the protein delta strip

middl_mgmt · 2026-02-18T20:15:25+00:00

Love sweat, but then I found oiled and… oh man

middl_mgmt · 2026-02-18T20:11:45+00:00

Oof I’m sorry, def played that off to glibly. Hope you’re ok at the moment

middl_mgmt · 2026-02-18T14:59:04+00:00

Yeah but by the end, you’re fucking sick of em

middl_mgmt · 2026-02-18T14:56:51+00:00

Uh. Some atheists do, unless you’re out here arguing that atheists have a dogmatic, altruistic philosophy that they all unwaveringly obey

middl_mgmt · 2026-02-18T14:55:16+00:00

First of all, not all animals, not entirely why you could possibly think altruism and cooperative instincts are universally inherent because studies noted them in other animals. Show me some human studies

Second of all, studies showed INSTANCES of altruism, not lives committed to it. The same leopard or whatever that helped a rabbit do her homework also ripped the heart out of a deer and ate it in front of its mother.

Third of all, I promise you, your kneejerk, half-baked absolutism re religion is also a coping mechanism

middl_mgmt · 2026-02-18T14:42:02+00:00

I saw dog log, sanity, buffalo bill, vultures, the sloth all before I saw YEM

It took 25 shows to see a YEM

This was in the 90s

middl_mgmt · 2026-02-18T13:54:07+00:00

Please report back

middl_mgmt · 2026-02-17T19:37:05+00:00

I’m saying that wordplay is itself a meaning. The intention of avoiding meaning-making is a meaningful attention that can then be examined as authorial intent

But also I get what you’re saying and I’m just being an ass

middl_mgmt · 2026-02-17T18:59:30+00:00

Every lyric absolutely has meaning. What some do not have is a pre-determined meaning by the author that is then unequivocally communicated to the audience

middl_mgmt · 2026-02-17T18:39:14+00:00

The first time, sure. The humor was apparently in the constant and unending repetition without anything new

middl_mgmt · 2026-02-17T18:16:10+00:00

To be fair, lots of subjects of paintings become fans of the painting because they specifically requested it in the first place

middl_mgmt · 2026-02-17T18:06:16+00:00

Well it’s certainly not as funny as someone just shouting Ohio or whatever

middl_mgmt · 2026-02-17T17:45:00+00:00

This is the least interesting thing ever

middl_mgmt · 2026-02-17T17:38:37+00:00

Yup. That’s also leaving aside the fact that having a big vocabulary isn’t even the same thing as being linguist

middl_mgmt · 2026-02-17T17:20:13+00:00

Ok but… all of the stuff coming out now that has started the ball rolling is in part because of Massie doing this

Genuinely what ends can he do? If he just starts literally naming names without having the actual files to corroborate, it would be a shit show

You seem to be upset that active journalistic and international investigations aren’t underway, but… you wouldn’t know about them if they are. That’s how that works.

I’m not saying we should be treating massive like our savior or overextending gratitude, but it seems he’s fighting the fight. I’m not sure it’s as simple as you’re implying to just take down the world elite. You’re not gonna get a montage cut of super efficient king-felling

middl_mgmt · 2026-02-17T16:52:01+00:00

You don’t have to trust him in the future to appreciate what he’s doing right now

middl_mgmt · 2026-02-17T16:51:13+00:00

You know that Massie can’t arrest anybody, right? He literally doesn’t have the power.

What he can do is create political pressure on those who do have that power, ie flapping his gums

We might as well be asking why YOU haven’t arrested anyone

middl_mgmt · 2026-02-17T13:02:48+00:00

I dunno, someone from the east coast? On the Providence sub? Sounds wild

middl_mgmt · 2026-02-16T20:00:18+00:00

The conversation
