Marvel Comics 7-Eleven Slurpee Plastic Cup Set
Originally posted to Facebook, but I’m deleting all my shit over there and wanted to hang on to these. Marvel Slurpee cups, one more pop culture item that makes me nostalgic for the Seventies.
Four sets of these plastic cups were produced — three for Marvel Comics characters and one set for DC Comics characters. This is the first of the three Marvel sets issued. Marvel’s more popular characters — Spider-Man, The Incredible Hulk and The Thing — each received three cups.

It just wouldn’t be the holidays without this timeless classic from DEVO. (Are we not men?) Featuring Mark Mothersbaugh’s postcard art.
Guitar Moves With Keith Richards
https://youtu.be/ceWWMfhAvD4
A few years ago, Matt Sweeney had a chat with Keith Richards, wherein the master dropped some wisdom, told some great stories, and demonstrated the open G tuning he used on “Honky Tonk Women,” “Brown Sugar,” “Happy,” and tons of other Stones songs. Amazing stuff.
Legend is a word that’s thrown around probably too much, but there’s no real other way to describe Keith Richards. What else can you even say about the Rolling Stones guitarist? The 71-year-old is not only responsible for creating some of the most monumental music we’ve enjoyed over the last five decades, but his influence—alongside the Stones—have shaped music and the world that surrounds it. Watch our latest episode of Guitar Moves in which host Matt Sweeney lives his dream, freaks out, and sits down with Richards himself. Ever wanted to know how Richards learned how to play the guitar? Well, it started with his grandfather…

WordPress 5.0
WordPress 5.0 was released yesterday, and with it comes the new Gutenberg editor. Fortunately, we can run the Classic Editor plugin for a little while longer, but eventually, we’ll have to use Gutenberg. Here’s a video to get you up to speed. It seems fairly intuitive once you get your head around block design, so maybe we can make the move soon.
There’s also a page on the WordPress site where we can practice with Gutenberg before flipping the switch. See what you think.

I Can Relate
Exhibit A
Christmas Will Break Your Heart
This came out a few Christmases ago. Still a crusher.
Christmas will break your heart
If your world is feeling small
And there’s no one on your phone
You feel close enough to call
Christmas will crush your soul
Like that laid back rock ‘n’ roll
But your body’s getting old
It’s much too tired to be so bold
Christmas can wreck your head
Like some listless awkward sex
So you refuse to leave your bed
Get depressed when no one checks
Christmas will break your heart
Like the armies of the unrelenting dark
Once the peace talks fall apart
But still I’m coming home to you
Christmas will shove you down
So just lay back in the snow
But that quiet wind won’t wake
What inside you has grown cold
And Christmas will drown your love
Like a storm down from above
On your fading memories of a normal life
Oh while I thought to make you mine
Believing in the line
That your heart would melt with time
And though you’re out with them again
Your thick and fickle friends
They might replace the love that ends
But still I’m coming home to you
To you, to you, to you
Yes you
To you, to you, to you
What if you’re done?
What if you don’t want it anymore?
So what if they’re gone?
So what if they don’t love you anymore?
I’m coming home
Can you see me?
Can you still see me?
Hey mama, take my hand!
