About a year before she died, my wife asked me to shave completely because she'd never seen me without facial hair. I came out of the bathroom and she laughed for like 10 minutes and then said "No. Grow it back immediately." If you're wondering if I look good without a beard.

I'm eating breakfast at a hotel in Dublin and the music selection is sad Irish folk versions of pop songs. Some of them are great and some are deeply hilarious. Like you can't make Shania Twain cozy but I appreciate the effort

[Josh Green @midemcrk]

Oh this is hilarious. The dive bars were hipster cool; PBR just happened to be served there and was cheap as shit, and if someone wanted to give me free stuff for buying a $3 pitcher, even better

I worked at one of the big ad agencies in the early aughts fresh out of college. They put me in charge of the pbr street teams. So I can speak with authority here: Millennial hipsterism was a product. All the bands and apparel were chosen for you. You weren't cool you were a mark

[Josh Green @midemcrk]

I had that Pearl Jam t-shirt in the second video - my wife ended up making it into a pillowcase after it aged ever so gracefully.

I love watching craftspeople work.

I dig how this guy repairs t-shirts. He offers the service through his site, Worn Repairs. Honest wear + skilled repair can make a garment look better than when it was new. True of everything from suits to jeans, but you have to value the item enough to repair it.

@ComradeSpaghoo @offbeatorbit No you're absolutely correct

[Josh Green @midemcrk]

I was alive and hanging out in bars in Portland during this era and uh Ashley is very correct

[Ashley Reese @offbeatorbit]

look, i'm not humorless so i can get behind jokes looking back on the hipster era just as much as the next girl who spent too much money at american apparel. But people have GOT to stop associating that scene with stomp clap lumineers shit. it's inaccurate!

[Josh Green @midemcrk]

@ComradeSpaghoo @offbeatorbit McMenamins 💀💀💀

[Josh Green @midemcrk]

@LukRamsay All true

[Josh Green @midemcrk]

@norabird No doubt about it

[Josh Green @midemcrk]

To be clear, I got up early and walked about 4 miles, and I'll have to go out in the middle of the afternoon dragging my luggage to catch a train, but still

[Josh Green @midemcrk]

Riding out the hottest May day ever recorded in London very Americanly, in an air conditioned hotel

[Josh Green @midemcrk]

Centaur me and who

[Josh Green @midemcrk]

@norabird Ah, that is an entirely different subtext than what I was reading, and is also fine

[big honkin caboose @itsbighonkin]

You cannot control another person’s sexual attraction and assuming that someone having feelings of desire towards anyone other than you means they must not love you is a prison of your own making

[Josh Green @midemcrk]

@norabird I will concede that I am not the target audience

[Josh Green @midemcrk]

And a song title that's a paragraph long

[Josh Green @midemcrk]

Post-rock is the best because after 8 minutes I think 'oh that was a beautiful song' but no, there's another 8 minutes of completely different beautiful music left to go

[Josh Green @midemcrk]

On this May Day, a quick reminder that if you don't rock with unions, we can't be friends.
