Open Bar: Subpoenaed by Congress, but still refusing to testify

[altered]

If LMNO isn't already aware there's no fucking justice, that shits been a meme for like 3 years now — hold on checking math... yeah give or take a couple months

[Da6s]

Glad some of you fuckers are still kicking around. No idea what was in my last life update but let's see, I'm married now, just bought a condo in a denver suburb because I was paying the same amount in rent and pissed off about it, had my honeymoon in japan for sakura aborted 4 days in of 18 over covid escalation which was good times, and i'm currently interviewing for a PM position in the cannabis industry which a recruiter hit me up for as I had no intention of going that route, but eh, money's great & that industry is booming with quarantine shitshow. In the past week I managed to replace an electrical outlet, set up a cat6 coupler between 2 walls, completely replace all components of 2 toilets, replace a ceiling light fixture, and discover that at 33 I'm too fucking old for physical labor as my back has hurt daily for the past 2 weeks & we're still a week out from fully moving.

Until the next post in however many months/years.

That with regards to my climbing accident 50 foot plummet? Last month was 3 year anniversary, Probably have 80% of my strength back in my right arm at this point, Occasionally still get nerve tingle in my right bicep but was told that'd take years to heal fully, cuz nerve damage is a bitch. If you were replying to someone else, nevermind.

That is all.

This has always been in my view the only reason to allow humans.

Congratulations! It's not linear, but yes, I can do things now that I couldn't before and I kept all 17 screws so

Hey Dags!

good to hear from you. That's crazy that you're only at 80% after all this time, but then again, it's a little crazy that you're alive to begin with!

sorry to hear about the honeymoon though -- at least you got married before the lockdown though. I have to punt my wedding to 2021.

I am somewhat curious about the context in which vegetables are prohibitively expensive, but horses aren't.

horses are good companions, and vegetables aren't. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Does grass grow during the winter?

some places!

but all the points mocking me are pretty on point it's fairly ridiculous. i just miss being around horses and being active and all that.  if i'm being honest it's just an idea i cling to when i'm hungry and there's not enough food in the house for both me and the kid.

obviously, they're the one who gets to eat.

As someone I admire a lot I am going to wait for his statement on this.

A writer being a sleeze with his fans is gross, and its possible. but some of the things being said on that thread dont add up.
While Ellis was a literary artistic success in the field of comic books he could never "make or break an aspiring career", he has made a modest living on his career as a writer but...
Just from reading around he has operated on the commercial perifery of the comics industry with a lot of indy work, the big two have always maintained contracts which mean the writer does not get rich, the first time that has happened for him ironically (despite an awesome catalogue of work) is when he made castlevenia a year ago.
He was not a publisher, and has had run ins with publishers like hellblazer ending because of the school shooting issue, he is not an industry darling like many other writers.

At best he could offer recommendation for writers and artists, but he was never in a position of control,  Not the equivalent of a producer like the others seen in #metoo.
Not a reciprocal arrangement where any of the womens careers depended on his opinion of them. This is not #metoo.

Seperately, if the allegations are true, what im seeing is a man who exploited his fanbase  cashing in on their admiration of him, but many of whom also happen to be his social group. It sucks if he did that, and sad they were devastated when he dropped them and moved on.
That would be disgusting and selfish and would lower my opinion of him as a person

I will wait and see what other stories come out and I want his side of the story too before I have an opinion one way or another

Yeah, also I'd be more inclined to hate his guts if someone said "no" and he did shit anyway.

I don't know enough details to know if that occurred.  I will also wait to see more.
