  • Justin Sane, frontman of punk rock’s Anti-Flag, was recently accused of “predatory behavior, sexual assault, and statutory rape.”

    Allegedly he’d eyefuck girls from the stage during shows in a very “That’s right, I’m a rockstar, lookin’ at you” kind of way, and somehow get them invited backstage later.

    His bandmates disbanded after the news broke. Bandmates say they weren’t aware, that they stand with the victims, and they condemn his actions.

    I saw Anti-Flag at a small venue years back and it makes me wonder if it happened to fellow concertgoers that night.



  • I have to submit weekly files to a vendor every Tuesday, but I can’t see the vendor-side result until a report generates. They show us a 10 minute timer that I’m positive is just that, an animation. Some days the countdown skips from 9 minutes to Donev every try. Other days the timer hits zero and gets replaced with a “We’re still working…” message for another 5-10 minutes.

    I’m positive the timer is the vendor’s way of forcing people to have at least 10 minutes of patience.

    My older teammate reads that timer as gospel and flips their shit the moment it hits zero when really they just needed to give it a couple more minutes. One of their calls I overhear all the time is to the vendor saying “Oh, well it’s finished now, after I called you.”





  • I’ve had clumsy moments as time goes on, and I’ve thought about this before, but in my case I can chalk it up to two big things:

    1.) I’ve gained weight, and I believe there’s a correlation between aging and gaining weight. Certain maneuvers are noticeably harder. I seem more top-heavy than in my memories of being younger.

    2.) I have KIDS. I have almost died so many times because we’re disorganized and my kids’ crap is EVERYWHERE. I’ve had one broken toe, countless foot bruises, surprise falcon kicks to baby skulls, and several instances of “Why, child, have you crawled under my feet, from behind me, while I briskly walk to the bathroom? Well I don’t want to maim or kill you, so…Guess I’ll die aka avoid putting any weight on that foot and toss my body as far away from theirs as possible during planetfall btw Did you know plastic cups explode if crushed just right?” Likelihood of having kids correlates with age, I assume.

    Now…you listed several mental things besides physical. So I guess I’m only speaking to physical clumsiness :P
